Alabama Keeps Buckeyes Series; Oklahoma State Adds Michigan State Amid SEC Scheduling Shakeup

With the SEC moving to a nine‑game conference schedule, Alabama drops its 2028–29 series with Oklahoma State but will keep its 2027–28 two‑game set with Ohio State; Oklahoma State replaces Alabama with Michigan State for 2028–29 and 2029–30, hosting MSU in 2028 and visiting in 2029. Alabama’s 2028 nonconference slate now includes Georgia State, UT Martin and Ohio State (Notre Dame remains on the 2029–30 schedule), while OSU’s nonconference lineup through 2029 remains anchored by Oregon, Arkansas, Michigan State and Nebraska. The changes reflect Power 4 nonconference requirements from the Big 12/SEC/ACC, with the Big Ten not mandating a Power 4 nonconference opponent.

Tennessee Spring Scrimmage Highlights: Steady QBs, Strong Defense Shine at Neyland

UT's spring Orange-White Game at Neyland wrapped up spring camp with steady, turnover-free quarterback play and no downfield fireworks; Ryan Staub connected on the lone air strike to Carson Whitehead while George MacIntyre ran with the first unit and Javin Gordon showed a spark in the run game. Defensively, Kayin Lee and Ty Redmond stood out, with rising linebackers Brayden Rouse and TJ White making plays; special teams produced solid work from Cooper Ranvier and Jackson Ross. No clear QB winner emerged as Tennessee heads into summer practice.

Colandrea Emerges as Nebraska's QB Leader in Red-White Spring Game

Anthony Colandrea solidified himself as Nebraska’s No. 1 quarterback with quick processing and a strong downfield arm, though a late cross-body throw produced an interception; TJ Lateef and Daniel Kaelin offered depth behind him. True freshman Jamal Rule shined at running back with 121 yards on 10 carries and a TD, while Conor Booth added 87 yards and a TD to bolster the backups. Special teams went 4-for-4 on field goals, Archie Wilson pinned punts well, but kickoff returns and one muffed opening kickoff highlighted areas to improve. Attendance was 27,188, the lowest spring-game turnout since 2000, with questions about the early date and other factors as Rhule focuses on a tougher fall slate.

Indiana's Unlikely Title Run Echoes Butler's Cinderella Nights

Indiana coach Curt Cignetti led the Hoosiers to a national championship in just his second year with a roster built largely from transfers rather than five-star recruits, including 23 transfers and QB Fernando Mendoza, and defeated Miami 27-21 after toppling Alabama, Oregon and Ohio State. College GameDay host Dan Wetzel compared the feat to Brad Stevens' Butler teams, arguing the transfer portal and rapid roster turnover made this Cinderella run possible, culminating in a 16-0 stretch.

Hoosier Loyalty Fuels Indiana Football’s Surprising Rise

Indiana’s football revival has transformed a small but devoted base into a national story, with longtime fans like 2006 grad Sam Story exemplifying decades of devotion (roughly 12,000–15,000 diehards, potentially more under coach Curt Cignetti). The piece highlights Indiana’s recent run—Big Ten title, Rose Bowl and Peach Bowl wins—and argues that true loyalty outlasts bandwagon talk as the Hoosiers head to a national championship against Miami; the renaissance also broadens Indiana basketball’s fan base and raises the question of which program should lead for the next 20 years.

"Unraveling the Chaos: The Impact of College Football Transfers on Educational Values"

The college football transfer portal has become more chaotic as players are now allowed to transfer multiple times without restriction, leading to concerns about the diminishing focus on educational values in college athletics. With the emphasis shifting towards player freedom and earning potential, questions arise about the academic integrity of the student-athlete experience and the impact on graduation rates. The NCAA's traditional philosophy of tying athletics to the educational experience is being challenged, and the courts' intervention has reshaped the landscape of college football transfers, raising concerns about the future of academic standards and the student-athlete experience.

"Clemson University Joins Legal Battle Against ACC Over Exit Fees and Grant of Rights"

Clemson has filed a lawsuit against the ACC, joining Florida State, in an attempt to break the league's Grant of Rights agreement, citing exorbitant exit fees and control of media rights as unenforceable. The ACC's 20-year media rights contract with ESPN and the disparity in media rights revenue compared to other conferences have fueled discontent. The ACC's decision to endorse a new College Football Playoff contract that puts it behind the SEC and Big Ten in revenue distribution has further exacerbated the situation. Seven ACC schools, including Clemson and Florida State, have examined the strength of the grant of rights, with legal teams involved.

"CFP Expansion: Consequences for Power 5 Conferences"

The ACC and Big 12 face a difficult decision in the proposed 14-team College Football Playoff format, where they could gain more guaranteed access but solidify themselves as second-class conferences compared to the Big Ten and SEC. With the power dynamics heavily favoring the Big Ten and SEC, the ACC and Big 12 must weigh their options and consider a deal that may not be ideal but could be the best they can get in a no-win situation.
