NCAA sanctions shake up Iowa Hawkeyes football as eight wins are vacated for tampering with quarterback Cade McNamara—was it worth the fallout? The Locked On Big Ten Squad debates whether the NCAA's focus is misplaced, questioning the penalty’s impact, and suggesting the NCAA targets smaller programs while avoiding powerhouses. Lively banter covers Kirk Ferentz’s legacy, Iowa’s ongoing quarterback development woes, and frustrations with inconsistent NCAA enforcement. Wisconsin Badgers face chaos after the sudden departure of athletic director Chris McIntosh, leaving major leadership gaps ahead of the new season. The Big 10 Squad weighs in on Wisconsin’s struggles to adapt in the NIL era and whether Luke Fickell’s job is on the line. The episode also spotlights shifting approaches to spring games, with limited action from stars like Michigan’s Bryce Underwood and Penn State scrapping their scrimmage entirely.
