Jason Kelce has signed a deal with ESPN to become the newest addition to the Monday Night Football pregame broadcast crew, per Andrew Marchand.
Congrats Jason! 🦅

=========================
I wish Big XII Cincinatti's Jason Kelce was in the booth doing color analysis. The ESPN MNF crew is not good

What has prompted the KU to SEC tweets on X?

Is this from TAM going to Big 10 rumors?

If I saw it right this morning, just some writer dude throwing out some "scoop" he supposedly has about some scenario where KU would be the fourth school in a group with Clemson and whoever else to enter the SEC. Never say never I supposed but these types of rumors seem to happen quite regularly and they are never true, but they sure did get the squawks hopes up.

"There's just no way possible to go forward and convince the state that we can take bonds out to pay for a wrestling facility when the College Football Playoff decided to take all the money and give it to the Big 10 and SEC."

Bold statement from Pollard regarding the decision to put a new wrestling facility (among other projects) on hold.

noteworthy as well, this is a move by missouri state from fcs to fbs football. i find it odd timing. the cost of competition in a sport that's rationalizing itself at the same time, well, i wonder why now? missiouri state wasn't all that in the fcs. their league, "the valley," was/is dominated by 2x national champion south dakota state and north dakota state. msu finished below .500 in conference play last season. but whatever, college sports doesn't have to rational to exist, i guess.

Can you imagine the screaming that would happen if we had to share with KU or KU had to share with us?

Geez, but once was "amateur athletics" has become *so* muddled into TV revenue, NIL deals, etc. Still a huge K-State fan, but not optimistic about the future of what used to be an "open playing field". :(

isu's jamie pollard paints a not good picture of what's ahead. i keep thinking congress will step in before it all collapses.
