Jay Foreman talks the now crazy process of recruiting on Old School.
"If you think that these freshmen are going to come in here in a year and a half and start running through
the Big Ten, you're crazy."

"We're talking about the most watched college football teams in 2025. 8 of the top 10 teams are from the SEC... Why does the SEC dominate viewership to that level?"
"The population trends are incredibly beneficial for the Southeastern Conference... but also, there's not the same amount of competition with NFL teams...
Secondly, the SEC and Big Ten have different media strategies. The SEC is all in with Disney/ESPN, so when you turn on ABC at 11 a.m. CT, you can just leave the channel on ABC, and you're gonna get an SEC game through the evening broadcast.
The Big Ten has more of an NFL-like model, where you have FOX for the first window and you've got the CBS window and you've got the NBC window, and what our research shows (is) that's been a good strategy for us so far...
And, the last point I'd make: There's incredible depth in the SEC..."
SEC Associate Commissioner, @GarthGlissman, talked about some of the reasons the SEC dominates TV ratings every year as opposed to the Big Ten on Early Break yesterday.

"We go up to Minnesota, Mike Riley's gonna get fired... we're gonna take Sipple out to a dinner that's not 'Amigos' after the game... Sipple gets word (that) they're thinking about firing Mike Riley... so we drive through 'Wendy's', and @Chris_Basnett79 is driving. And Sipple chokes on a chicken bone. Bas looks in the rearview mirror and says with a contempt, 'just die man.'"
