The football team isn’t the only Penn State sport busy adding players for the fall. New head basketball coach Mike Rhoades has nearly completed his roster for the fall. Bauer will give his thoughts on the work Rhoades and his staff have done in less than two months to assemble a team for the fall.
The trio will also discuss Pete Thamel’s recent report about the lapse in the Big Ten’s television contract and how that will affect the fall football schedule. Is the conference falling behind the arms race in college football? Will the SEC create a commanding lead because of the disruption at the top of Penn State’s conference? The team will discuss those topics and dive into the minutia of this situation with Bauer, Blue White Illustrated’s front-office insider.
