Yesterday00:27:35Tap to summarizeBig Ten powers rally against Texas Tech over Brendan Sorsby’s controversial eligibility fight. As the Red Raiders attempt to play Sorsby despite NCAA regulations, Big Ten schools refuse all non-conference competition, igniting a heated debate about integrity, NIL chaos, and the role of judges in college football. Is this a Texas Tech scandal, an NCAA crisis, or a sign the sport is spinning out of control? The Locked On Big Ten Squad breaks down why Sorsby’s 9,000 betting violations set off a conference-wide backlash, if conferences—not the NCAA—hold the real power, and how coaches like Joey McGuire are stoking national outrage. Can streamlining rules, stricter enforcement, or a new governing body save the sport?

MOMENTUM: Oregon Lands FASCINATING Recruit as Dan Lanning Makes it THREE New Commits in 2027 Class
2d ago00:29:03Tap to summarizeOregon has found recruiting momentum and surged into the top 10 nationally with a trio of commits this week. DL Achilles Reyna is among the most unique Dan Lanning has ever landed. On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin also discusses the commitment of 2027 3-star TE George VanSandt. Why might Oregon suddenly be prioritizing in-state recruits? Oregon's defense goes into the 2026 season without a clearcut defensive leader, which is a stark contrast from years past.
