## Resource

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?
