Locked On Hawkeyes - Daily Podcast On Iowa Hawkeyes Football & Basketball - BIG 10 SQUAD: Congress is trying to SAVE College Football | How this impacts Iowa

Episode Date: June 4, 2026

The Big Ten and SEC unite to push back against Congress’s sweeping plan to overhaul college football, setting up a powerful standoff that could reshape the sport’s future. With player compensation, playoff formats, and media rights on the line, can any legislation succeed without college football’s biggest powerhouses on board? The Big 10 Squad dissects the motives behind congressional intervention in NCAA sports, conference politics, and the relentless pursuit of media power. The crew shifts focus to Wisconsin Badgers football, debating whether Luke Fickell’s squad can clear a six-and-a-half win total and what’s at stake for his job security. Insights on quarterback Colton Joseph, a soft Big Ten schedule, and the looming challenges from Notre Dame and Penn State add fuel to the debate. Is this the season Wisconsin bounces back, or are bigger shakeups ahead for the Badgers? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Well, Congress is trying to fix college football, but the SEC and the Big Ten came together and said, they don't want it. You're talking ball with the Big Ten squad, sponsored by game time. From USC to Ohio State, from Michigan to Oregon, from Nebraska to Washington, it's the local experts of the Locked-on Podcast Network, bringing you scoops, breakdowns, and the most comprehensive preview of the upcoming Big Ten weekend. No hurt feelings and thin skin allowed. Squad up, you're part of. the Big Ten Squad. Welcome in to the Lockdown Big Ten Squad and my goodness is it a squad today. I'm Jacob

Goins, the host of Lockdown Hoosiers, filling in for Spencer McLaughlin, who is here but claims that he's out of the country. I don't believe it, but it is what it is. We've got Roman Thomas Shop of Lockdown Huskies. Ryan Herrings is here, ladies and gentlemen of Lockdown Badgers. He had to show up for Wisconsin's Win Total Day. Craig Sheiman of Lockdown Big Ten, Isaiah Ho of Lockdown Wolverines. Zach Anderson, Yoxheimer, this guy in months of locked on UCLA. He's probably crying after his baseball team got eliminated in the regionals and Zach Seiko, the host of Lockdown, Nittany Lions. And gentlemen, it is the story across college football right now. Congress came up with a plan. A couple of senators from Texas said, we got you. College football and college sports are broken. We are going to fix it.

And Spencer, the big 10 in the SEC said, nah, we're good. They did. And I don't know which other senator from Texas is in the fold, but Maria can't. Well, is definitely from Washington. So this quad is starting off with an absolute banger of, of a fact. I'm really in depth of my politics. As you can tell. Yeah. Yeah. That's probably a good thing. That's probably a good thing over the real question is, did Roman know that she is one of his senators? I was aware of that. You were aware. Okay. Okay. Well, at least you're, you're in the fold. Yeah. This, this, this bill, though, is very easily the most comprehensive and serious attempt to legislate college. sports and create a uniform set of rules. It's gotten pushed back from the SEC and the Big Ten with their statement from the Congressional Black Caucus as well. So there are going to be changes

here. But there's actually a nice little provision where they don't need a single Big Ten or SEC school to vote in favor of it. And as long as everybody else votes in favor of it, then the rules will pass. That's important context. I mean, are we a fan of that? Yeah, that's the thing. I mean, Ryan, you say good luck with that. Why? Yeah, super league. Yeah, like, okay, you're going to tell the two most powerful conferences have the most money and the biggest teams. We're not going to care about your votes.

Okay, cool. That's like telling the two most popular kids in school. No, it's fine. We don't need you guys on the football team. No, you do. Like, you kind of do. Like, good luck with that. What if the popular skin?

What if the popular kid is bad at sports? It's always a good quarterback. No, no. I've seen every eight. That's not necessarily. Is it a 80s high school movie? I've seen every movie with a high school football player. They're all popular.

My point is you're not going to make legislation and say, oh, Big Ten SEC, we don't need you. Like, okay. Good luck. I'm just good luck with that. It's not going to work. That's what Iowa State. Iowa State's AD said. Mm-hmm.

That is one, yeah. Bad plan, by the way. Terrible plan. They'll take it. Northwestern Purdue and Vanderbilt should align with the Big 12, though, according to Iowa States AD. Probably the only team they'll be smart to their hands on, I would think. Craig Sheiman of Locked on Big Ten is here.

And as our, you know, expert and our, basically our rep for the Big Ten conference, are you in on this? Are you in agreeance that Congress, like, thanks for trying, but we're going to go do our own thing. First of all, I'm just glad to actually be here at the beginning of the show. That's a first of a long time. We were very late getting started.

So we waited. That's literally the only reason. That's all good. I think there are some good things in this bill, but I've always said it's always bad if your business is so messed up that you have to have Congress get involved. My advice to all businesses is do anything you can to keep Congress away from you because once they make the rules, you're not going to like it.

And it's exactly what happened with Greg Sanky and Tony Petiti because your Mark and Phillips, the two lap dogs are the Big 12 of the ACC immediately like, oh, yeah, this is great. We want this. We need help because, you know, We're dying over here. And Petitian Sankey said, hey, we want to read the bill before we vote for the bill, right? We want to see what's in it.

And they did. And they didn't like it because it took too much of their power away. There were some things in there that they didn't care for that Congress would have too much control. And all of a sudden, the funny line, though, on their joint statement that I got the biggest kick out of was, hey, now we're beholding the Congress and laws. And we won't be able to move quickly if something changes because now Congress is in charge. Like college athletics moves quickly on anything. I assume they were talking about if they decided to go to a 24 team playoff and they want some changes made. But now Congress is in charge of rules and they wanted power.

It's all big power play right now. Sanking Petit are trying to hang on right now before this becomes any kind of official law. Isaiah Hall of Lockdown Wolverines. I want to get your thoughts on this. Are we in true belief that through thick and thin, the SEC and the Big Ten are going to stick together, all the way or was it just this one instance where they were basically telling congress to kick rocks well i definitely know that the big 10 just because by virtue of the past that they would definitely keep to something like this i just think about how strong the alliance still is with the uh you know

with the acc and the pack 12 i be strong you know um i you know i don't really have much of a care I forgot about that too much in the whole the whole grand scheme. But I just think it's hilarious that there was a lot of talk even coming from like the Big Ten, if memory serves of this like, yeah, we can't do anything until Congress steps up and does something. We really need Congress to step in and do something. Oh, if we could just get Congress. And then Congress steps in and they're like, no, no, we don't want that at all.

Like, that's absurd. Like, whoa, you're talking about pooling media rights and maybe not letting us be way ahead of everybody else. This is wrong. I don't want it. No, that's a good point. And I'm sorry, I have to cut everybody off because Trent Condon of Lockdown Hawkeyes has shown up from, I think, the urgent care parking lot. Is that right? Yeah, you got that right.

The Con and Conn family's falling apart. Last week, my son broke his wrist. I have a torn labrum I just found out. And just today, my daughter got a couple of stitches after stabbing yourself with scissors trying to open up a box of mac and cheese on her first day of summer break on top of it. It's also a birthday today. So the condens are doing great here in Iowa. I was going to say maybe don't leave the house. But if she did that on the first day of summer break, I don't really have a whole lot for you.

We're talking the Protect College Sports Act. And yes, I have to read it every time because it's just a mouthful. Your thoughts quickly because I'm sure you have to go and attend to another family member with an injury. Exactly. I can't wait to find out what my wife has next. This is getting scary. You know, the one thing that definitely jumps out to me is the back and forth that we're hearing between the Big Ten and the SEC. and them kind of going together, but they don't want to go together with the college football

playoff. And it's all about money. And that's the answer to everything, right? We all know this. It all comes down to the almighty dollar. That's all it is. And us as big 10 people, stay out of the way, Congress. We don't want to do what you want. And you ultimately go back to Cody Campbell. And who is the person that funds Ted Cruz? Who is the person that had basically every tenant that he wanted of this bill? It's Cody Campbell. It's not actually a politician. It goes back to Texas Tech trying to get a seat at the table. He's got the money. He has the power.

He has the influence. I don't know what's more surprising that Trent's had to deal with three injuries in the last week or that he's rocking a Montreal Expos hat. Always. It's pretty sweet. It is actually, I respect it. Zach Anderson, Yoxheimer and Roman Tomashoff, two of the longest standing members of the Big Ten with Washington and UCLA.

Your thoughts on these two conferences coming together. and ultimately, we'll start with Roman and then with Zach, just where this is all going to end up. I mean, is this at least a good start for what we're trying to do, which is fix college athletics. Yeah, the fact that there's some kind of framework is nice when you think about, you know, things like limiting the transfer portal and just making, making things a little bit more straightforward. That part is nice, right? But it's also, you know, the SEC and the Big Ten have built these, these empires in no short order. And I think that that is something that we really have to take into account with all of this. So I fully expect them to never go along with this.

And it's just one of those things where I don't think there's any short answer for any of this. Yeah. Zach Anderson, Yoxheimer, bring us home on this topic because people are dying to hear our thoughts on Wisconsin's six and a half win total. Well, I'm thinking the moment we stop letting greed dictate college sports will be in a better place. Don't think we're going anywhere. the fact that the Big Ten and SEC can agree on something is probably surprising, although if it's to relinquish power, that's the only time they'll agree. I do like that they're trying to make a difference.

I just don't think that anybody's going to agree. But at some point, we neither need a college sports czar. Is it Nick Saban? Is it somebody else? Or is it something that... Not Nick Saban. It's not Spencer McLaughlin. Hey, no.

Are you wearing a locked-on shirt right now, Spencer? Yeah. I'm so proud of you. Even in another country... You're wearing another shirt. Walked on is international. It really is. We are global.

Yoxheimer says that we need a college football czar, which means somebody has to take a new job. And I think somebody that could be looking for a new job is the head coach in Wisconsin. I think it could happen. I think this could be the year. We talk about Wisconsin's win total right after this on the Lockdown Big Ten Squad. Today's episode of the Lockdown Big Ten Squad is brought to you by Fandil, the NBA Playoffs are here. It's the finals and every possession matters.

If you're looking to get even closer to the action, Fandle has a great offer to get you started. Right now, new customers can bet $5 and get $150 and bonus bets if your first bet wins. That's right. Turn five bucks into 150 and bonus bets just for getting started. And I like using Fandil right now as we're coming down the stretch of the season because everything I need is right there in one place. You can check the stats of the series so far.

You can check the different. friends for different players and the matchups before making your picks, which takes the whole experience to another level. And it makes me feel a whole lot more informed. And it's really easy to navigate in the app. It makes playoff basketball even more engaging from start to finish. So head to FanDuel.com right now to get started. Again, you got the Knicks.

You got the Spurs. Now is the time to do it. Head to Fanjul.com right now to get started. FanDuel play your game. All right. we made you wait long enough. Wisconsin's win total. Yes, that's right. As we have done this a couple of years now, and we just continue to work from the bottom to the top. And since we're talking to Wisconsin, we're still near the bottom. Six and a half is the win total for the Badgers. And we're going to

make Ryan Herrings, who I'm so glad you're here. It's good to see you, my friend. We are going to make you wait. Oh my gosh. Oh my God. That is insane. How long if you had that piece of head gear, Ryan Those of you on audio, I can't, I can't describe whatever. I know it's a badger, but I just don't have the words to describe that. How long have you had that? Lee course is smiling right now. Yeah, this funny story with this particular badgerhead is expatriated. It is from the studios in ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut.

I probably shouldn't tell the full story how it came out of those studios. I don't know if it was supposed to leave the studio. But yeah, it is actually from ESPN in Bristol. It is a foam head and it is here to make sure everybody gives some good takes on this. Wow. I'm curious where everybody's at. Let's take the over on it though. I don't know, Ryan.

Last time you told this story, we heard about how you got robbed in Mexico. What about Jacksonville? Oh, sorry, Jacksonville. I mean, wow. Okay. Well, that's a good start to this. I'm sure it can only go down from here.

Wisconsin's six and a half win total. Ryan, we're going to hold you off until last. So you can tell everybody why Wisconsin's going to be a seven-win football team. We'll go with you, Spencer, as the host of Lockdown College football, not the other show. Six and a half. Do you like it for Wisconsin heading into a pivotal year there? I have to tell you. I don't hate it. I don't, I don't hate it. Now, what I do hate is what Wisconsin has become over the last couple of years and we've all forgotten what they are supposed to be and traditionally have been as a program.

If ever there was a year to reestablish the pride of Badger football where Ryan can wear that beautiful piece of headgear after every win this year, I can see him dawning that seven or more times with a schedule that has no Indiana, no Ohio State, and no Oregon. Ryan, is it too late to get out of the Notre Dame game week one and replace it with McNeese? We are not going to take the Indiana here. We are going to play or out of conference games.

We are going to man up and play that one. Well, that's too bad. You're going to lose it. Yes, indeed they are. No, I mean, at Penn State, at Iowa, those are the toughest games in conference play on the schedule. And I mean, the last four games, Rutgers at Maryland, at Purdue, Minnesota, none of those are unwinnable games. So yeah, you know what, Ryan, just for wearing, just for wearing that. Wisconsin over the Jaden Craig era lives.

in Madison. Wow. All right. Let's roll right through Roman to remind folks against. Wait, did I pick, wait, did I say the wrong quarterback's name? Wait,

did you say Colton Joseph? Sorry. No, I said the wrong. I said the wrong transfer. Dang. Oh, no.

I said the T's got to go on. Go to bed, you bum. This man. There's a rough. That's a rough. That's a rough note to get out on. Yeah.

Bye, by everybody. All cam and everything. Get out of here. Spencer in wherever he's at. Again, Notre Dame, Western Illinois, Eastern Michigan, at Penn State, home for Michigan State, at UCLA, home for USC, at Iowa.

And then as Spencer mentioned, Rutgers at home, Maryland on the road, Purdue on the road in Minnesota. Roman, are you going over under six and a half, according to our friends at Fandil for the Wisconsin and Badgers? You know, wow, the full screen is really in full effect today. And our producers on it today. Yeah, he's doing a great job. No, I, as soon as we said, we're doing the Wisconsin, I was like, oh, cool, it's just an easy, easy day to take the under.

And then I start looking at the schedule. This is why I'm glad the full cams on me, so we didn't get Ryan's reaction to that. Because the more I dive into the schedule, Jacob, is you just laid it out very nicely. The schedule is very, very easy. Like, all of these, these tough games, yeah, there's ones on the road. I think the UCLA game might give Wisconsin a little bit more trouble than we're going to give it credit for right now. I really do like what Bob Chesney's doing down there. But the more I look up and down this, this November is a cakewalk.

I absolutely am taking the over here. I don't blame you in terms of the schedule itself. As we again, I was trying to find a ranking like a schedule is ranking. I can't find one off the rip right here. Zach Anderson, Yoxheimer out there in Los Angeles. How do you feel about the aggressive badger hat that Ryan Herring's is currently wearing? I mean, I don't know if it's the craziest thing I've ever seen, but it's also maybe not crazy to take the over in this scenario.

I was going to hammer the under and then doing a little more of a deeper dive, breathing here in June that, oh, wait, wait a minute. It's a very easy schedule. Now, I am chalking up one of those Wisconsin L's to UCLA in the Rose Bowl, but they can celebrate. They can make it red. It just isn't going to be one of those wins later in the year. Okay. So you think it's going to be okay in Madison this year. Zach Sanko of Locked on Nittany Lions, Penn States on this Wisconsin schedule.

First road trip, official road trip of the year for Wisconsin is. Happy Valley new coach, new result for the Nitty Lions. Do they get it done against Wisconsin? And do the badgers get seven wins? Yeah. And I think that's one of the tougher games or one of the more under the radar games for Penn State this season. I will not, I will not sell Wisconsin short. I think that is a legit opponent early in the season, especially if they, if they get things rolling, if they build momentum, new starting quarterback. Right. But Notre Dame is obviously tough. I Western Illinois is what it is. Eastern Michigan is what it is, but kind of like what Spencer was getting to.

Michigan State is is a winnable game. It's a very, I would, I would favor Wisconsin in that game. UCLA, they got to travel to L.A. but I would say that's a toss up. They host USC, right? They don't have to go to USC, even though they do go to L.A. the week before. So if there's some jet lag there.

But then those last five games, is Iowa some juggernaut, Trent? You can weigh in on that. I don't know at the end of the day. But those, those games overall, there isn't one where I'm like, there's no way they can't, even Penn State. I'm not going to sit here and be a Penn State homer and say, oh, it's impossible for them to beat Penn State. There's not a single game on here other than Notre Dame where I say, I can't see a world where Wisconsin doesn't, doesn't win this one. And that's, I think that's pretty telling. So if all their lucky breaks go in their favor, could they be eight and four?

Could they be nine and three? Give me the over. Oh, another over for Wisconsin. Trent, there was a question, a hypothetical toss to you of Lockdown Hot Guys. I'm going to let you answer and give your pick in case you do need to run with family to attend to. But on the road in Iowa is one of Wisconsin's games this year. Your thoughts on that in particular. And then again, the win total, six and a half for the badgers. I hope you're muted, Trent.

If you watched any of the game last year in Madison, you saw just one of the most putrid teams in college football. and it was not the Iowa Hawkeyes. Wisconsin looked as bad as I have seen them dating back to the 1980s when they were trying to run the beer. It was awful. That team looked unprepared. And I don't think Luke Fickle makes it to that end of the season schedule that is so easy in November. I think he's going to be gone. I think it's going to be a two and six start for Bucky. They're going to be looking for a new head coach much earlier than everybody else under. And the Hawkeyes, again, throttle Bucky. man I love it coming in hot Trent Condon is on the Wisconsin Badgers. We will take a break. We continue our win total conversation.

Trent, see you later. Hopefully his family is able to not injure themselves. A couple of more predictions. And then we're going to let Ryan Herring defend himself. All that here on the locked up Big Ten squad. All right. It's a loaded squad.

We told you that at the beginning. There's a ton of reps here. And thank you for everybody for being here for listening and watching. But of course, for all of our hosts. We've got seven in the final segment. Can we just might be a record. A buzz or something? Might be a record.

And I want to go, I think it only makes sense for Ryan to be last. Craig She might have locked on Big Ten to be right before him. Isaiah, your thoughts on Wisconsin, where Michigan's not on the schedule. So you don't have a real rooting interest in this, but six and a half scenes favorable for Wisconsin, maybe. Listen, I don't know a heck a lot about what's going on in Madison. Sorry, Ryan, I don't mean to say that. But, like, I don't know what your quarterback is or, you know, whatever. that said despite what happened last year, Wisconsin got better once Luke Fickle was announced that he was returning again.

They played with the fire. It doesn't matter the quarterback. It doesn't matter any of that. Yeah, you got Notre Dame. You've got, you know, like I look at it and I'm like, okay, once you lose to Notre Dame, probably going to happen, unfortunately. I don't want that to happen, but that's likely to. We'll see what happens at Penn State should win against Michigan State. that let's, I understand, you see maize and blue all over the screen right now and Michigan State's terrible. Let's just be honest. I think you lose that UCLA game, but then come back and beat USC because that's just the type of thing that you would see, right? Like, oh, man, they can't even get past UCLA, but then USC comes. They just hadn't been that great when they travel far.

And then a lot of up in the air. I don't really like the Minnesota game at the end of the year. They're one of the most experienced teams that's returning. I think that people are, kind of underselling what Minnesota is. That said, they're going to get to seven wins at least. Man. Congratulations, Ryan. You're going to have the over. This isn't as fun as I thought it was going to be because normally we just dunk on

Wisconsin and Ryan truly has to defend himself. But I think my count is correct that more people have picked the over so far than they've picked the under. And just for a reminder, the book end of this schedule, it's a Sunday game against Notre Dame and a Friday game against Minnesota at the end. So got a weird bookended with two non-saturday games. Craig Sheemann of Locked on Big Ten, I would normally say come to Ryan's help, but I don't think he needs it anymore.

Well, I got one question for Ryan before I answer, because there's one pivotal game on this whole schedule if we're going over, under, are you beating Michigan State right in the middle of the schedule? Is that a win? I think so. Okay. Because I got, okay, then I give you three and five going into that glorious last month and whether it's Luke Fickle or interim head coach Jeff Grimes getting on a roll.

He's rolling those last four games, Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, and Minnesota, probably getting a head coaching job out of it because you can't fire an interim coach that goes four. I hope that's not the case. I do like Luke Fickle. But my math adds up. If you get the Michigan State game, that's seven dubs and you're going bowling in Madison. Boom. Bowling.

You hear that, Ryan? Do you remember what that is? Bowl game, baby. They're in Wisconsin. So we go to you, my friend, and the headgear is incredible. And again, most people on this show believe Wisconsin can go over their six and a half win total, according to our friends at Fandul. Let it rip, my friend.

Tell the folks why Wisconsin is back in the year 2026. Yeah, most people on this show are pretty smart then. You know, it is funny that Iowa takes some shots and then just leaves. Like, so typical of Trent, right? Like, get a few buckets in and then just bounce. I think Isaiah nailed it, right? So one of the points I was going to bring up, I think Isaiah did a tremendous job of pointing it out. The badgers got a lot better last year as the season went on, right?

You look at a win against Washington. They had no business beating Washington. They were playing their fourth string quarterback. We don't need to talk about that. It's not even that thing. They also beat Illinois, right? They had no business beating Illinois. They hung with Indiana.

I mean, you remember that game, right? That was at half. That was a pretty competitive game. Nope. They made Oregon sweat for half, right? Like, I'm not trying to paint this with rose-colored glasses, but after that announcement was made, this team got much more competitive on two games with their four-stream quarterback. This team was slaughtered by injuries last year.

They actually went out, got Colton Joseph at quarterback this year. That is the first time in the fickle era they've been able to go out. They put resources in this program. They got the quarterback they want. They finished last year strong. And you look at this schedule, five of the top six teams in the Big Ten last year, in the standings of the Big Ten last year. The badgers don't play them. They play basically everybody that finished at the bottom of the schedule last year.

They do it with a quarterback they finally wanted. And honestly, they have built depth at that spot. They built depth on the lines. And it feels like this thing is moving in the right direction. And I think you go no further than look at how they finished last year. If you looked at how they finished last year and push it into this schedule, that was the number one schedule in the country last year per ESPN. That's not Wisconsin.

I purportly. They played everybody tough, including Alabama. I mean, they didn't play everybody tough. They lost some, that's worded incorrectly. They played all the tough teams. It's what I was trying to say. But they go from that schedule to one of the, you're not going to get an easier schedule in the Big Ten.

They have the quarterback they want. And if you pair how they finished last year to what they're going to do going into the schedule, I think they win seven, eight games. I think they get over and I'm very confident about it. So take the over. They're getting, I think, eight, seven wins. And I think they could even in a really interesting season, potentially get to nine.

Oh, well, okay. I said it. I said nine and three as a best case scenario. As much as I said Notre Dame is not a win. I mean, Notre Dame tends to lose a random, like a game that people don't expect. Especially early, early in Northern Illinois. Yeah. Los Angeles, better than Northern Illinois.

Hey, oh. I mean, who on this schedule legitimately terrifies you? Notre Dame's awesome, right? USC coming to Madison, that doesn't terrify you. I mean, Penn State's a great program, but you're getting them early in the season in a coaching transition year. I think UCLA could be tough coaching transition year. Iowa was Dean of Brakes off Wisconsin last couple years,

but I was not a program that terrifies you. I'm just telling you this schedule. I literally said the exact same thing. There's no insurmountable team here other than Notre Dame as a title contender. Imagine this schedule, and Ryan, you kind of did this, but imagine this schedule just neutral side across the board. I know that's not how sports work. But in your argument of just the opponents themselves,

I'm with you. I don't think there's anything too daunting here. It's just if Wisconsin can figure it out. So final question for Ryan and just kind of open it as we wrap up here. Six and a half win total, a very manageable schedule, Ryan, if it does not go well. Let's just say you go five and seven. Is that it because of how easy the schedule is? I mean, would this finally be it?

Yeah, this would be it. If you go five and seven after you put a lot of resources in the program in the offseason and after the athletic director that handpicked Luke Fickle has now moved on, yeah, if this doesn't work this season, they're going to. going to have to move on. Ryan, what noise does a badger make? It's a very throaty growl. Very throaty growl when they're cornered.

Are you able to imitate one for us? That's what I was hoping for. That's what I was alluding to. He didn't go for it. Yeah, I think it's best as I don't just for. If Luke Fickle has a 10 out of 10 badger call, does he keep his job? Yeah, like, listen, I would put the mortgage on it. Hashtag this is not betting advice.

Do not take financial advice. Wow. I've not felt this confident in over since last year when I took the over for the Badgers. So. Seven, seven feels safe, right? It feels doable. It feels doable. My goodness.

Well, what an episode of the Lockdown Big Ten squad. There are six of us still here. There were a lot more. I can't remember them. I'm not going to name them. We had more than I think we've ever had. And it's because I was hosting and Zach Sanko. So just remember this is the way we wanted.

Thank you, everybody, for being here for two. tuning in for listening, subscribe to our shows, however you're tuned in today. And we'll have another one of these this time next week on the Lockdown Big Ten Squad.
