    Off Topic but a big growing story at one of our rivals so I thought it might be ok to post

    This is the biggest deal that is the smallest deal. If you think there aren't large-scale drug ops on every college campus with more than 25,000 undergrads... (but yes, admittedly Penn State makes it a little more easy to laugh at since this isn't even the biggest criminal scandal for them in...

    Lakefront games

    I definitely thought about just waiting and seeing what they do since this is a case study in supply and demand and no one should be spending even $50 on these tickets (I think the end zone bleachers were $55?) - I bit the bullet for the guaranteed parking.

    Lakefront games

    Secondary market doesn't matter when it's not a sellout. No one is buying SDSU tickets to flip them. The only tickets you're going to find there are people who bought them and now their plans changed, or possibly NU looking to backchannel deeply-discounted tickets that they can't sell at their...

    Maybe this was posted before and I missed it - no seats for students?

    ^ ^ This is not a new problem that comes with the new stadium. I remember the 2016 Outback Bowl when we played Tennessee...had to stand the whole time. For me, it was annoying. For the Tennessee fans in my section it was a football game where of course you stand the whole time...even when...

    ESPN's 100 games that define college football

    Thanks for sharing. If two NU games make this list, I agree it should be these two. Funny thing, though: I see 17-15 is ranked #52 and right behind it is what I typically say is the single best college football game I've ever watched - the 2007 Fiesta Bowl (Boise State vs. Oklahoma). To me...

    The World Has Sure Changed

    As a non-lawyer, this "temporary" injunction is very perplexing to me. The injunction allows Sorsby to play through the 26-27 season because the trial is set for February 2027. Can a reasonable argument not be made that there is "imminent, and irreparable injury" to the entire sport by...

    How are we feeling about NRF season ticket pricing?

    There's nothing new to debate here, but I feel like I have a somewhat unique perspective as someone who has been attending games for years with friends who have no connection or allegiance to NU football. They bought their season tickets for years and sat through all the 3-9 seasons and the...

    How are we feeling about NRF season ticket pricing?

    I commented elsewhere that I suspect they held on pricing "general" season tickets after evaluating demand for the Club seats, and demand there was brisk. I get the fundamentals of supply and demand, but it's kind of a slap in the face that "longtime" fans were unable to get into the Club for...

    Hope against NIL insanity?

    I hear you, but I think the culture of pro sports is what it is - whether you're talking about on-the-field product or what happens in a board room, all these things keep moving CFB in the NFL's direction. It's all gross to me. I only mentioned the academic piece because as a college...

    Hope against NIL insanity?

    1. Do conferences not already have the option to negotiate future tv deals as one large group? Is there some federal law that stopped the ACC and Big XII from trying to shop their tv rights around as a package? This is a serious question. I don't understand the 75% rule. 2. As a Big Ten fan...

    Hope against NIL insanity?

    Two thoughts on the pro sports question: 1. I hate pro sports. If CFB just keeps looking more like the NFL...then why would I bother with watching inferior players and an inferior product on the field when I could pay the same or probably less to just do NFL. I like(d) and root(ed) for NU...

    Hope against NIL insanity?

    I will say this...as I think we all agree, college sports are broken and are badly in need of fixing. The status quo is on track to ruin the sport, especially for fans. One might assume the basic fundamentals of capitalism and market-driven principles would fix this, right? /sarcasm I think...

    If a 24-team playoff had existed since 2014, NU would've made it...

    I am personally anti-24 teams, but whatever happens, happens...I'm not going to pretend like I wouldn't have been excited for us to make it even as a low seed.
