The start of the University of Wisconsin football season is less than two months away and that can only mean one thing:

name a player on the offensive and defensive side of the ball that is not a projected starter right now but will have a solid impact this season?

With the option of either dominant or just awesome, how is Nick Herbig going to do this year?
— Jeremy Wojtecki (@jwojPAC) July 12, 2022
Also, in this day and age it concerns me that our HC only now seems to have sense of urgency to somewhat balance the offense with bringing in new OC and new ideas. what does offense this year have to show to attract 4* QBs?

Is there a nonzero chance Deacon Hill shocks the world and takes the QB job?

Mertz was recently ranked the tenth best starting quarterback in the Big Ten. Will he outperform that expectation this season in your estimation?

After 3 ever-improving football recruiting classes, last year’s and so far this year’s classes are looking like they used to before the three year run. Was that 3 year run an anomaly or will we see it again once the new coaches settle in?

What are a couple questions you would like to ask the BigTen regarding the recent conference expansion? I have many myself but one is: how will they approach balanced schedules? They're already unbalanced & could get worse.
— Andrew Johnson (@Johnson_Drew) July 12, 2022
So with the Big Ten expanding it seems to me that the Rose Bowl tradition of Big 10 vs PAC 8/10/12 is gone for good. So do we as fans refocus and find a new game to dream about at the end of the year, if so what is that game?

With the added media money after adding UCLA and USC, will UW look at adding sports? Of so, which ones?

How does the addition of UCLA and USC help or hurt badger recruiting?

Well it work well for Syracuse!
Will the Brewers make a key move to bolster an offense that sputters more than it produces?

@JimPolzinWSJ Hi Jim, I have a question for your mailbag. With David Stearns able to get out of his contract with a ws this year, do you think that may prompt him to make trades that he otherwise wouldn't? Selling off more prospects to go all in for himself?

Badgers fans divided over report of UCLA, USC joining the Big Ten
There's a thought
Pretty soon there with be an American College Football League and a National College Football League of paid “amateurs”, with a playoff and the champions facing in a “Super Bowl” championship.

It's the end of the world ...
NLI and Conference Realignment will (already has?) destroy the NCAA as we have all known it.

A number's game
Not a fan however $$$ talks. Four super conferences w 16 teams each. 2 divisions of 8. Magic number is 64. Perfect playoff numbers got 8 or 16 team playoff.

California teams would come in and think they are running things from day 1.
Treat other schools like they are rubes.
Let them rebuild their own Pac10/Pac12 whatever.
Trading up
Send them back Minnesota in return.

Circling the drain
It’s only about the money now. Big Ten football will never be the same. It’s been going downhill for years… might as well slide straight into the toilet now.

I absolutely love it. It's not possible to go backwards in this new world, so this is making the best of the situation. Outside of UVa, these two are the best possibilities.

Dodging a bullet
Either get in front, or get blown out. SEC and Big Ten will be the two super conferences, and this is the death shot for the PAC 12. Next up will be Washington and Oregon.

For football and basketball this is great. Travel is all chartered. I just am not seeing it workout for the nonrevenue sports .

Big Ten's history
Insane!!! Not a fan of this idea. Too disconnected to the historic roots of the B1G. The B1G will be coast to coast. Which means too much travel for athletes. Also don’t like what this does to historic Rose Bowl matchups.

Don't stop now
Fits the academic and athletic profile, might as well add Washington and Colorado too then we are really cooking with gas

That Maryland to LA flight is just what those students need to succeed in the classroom during week days! Any school’s athletic program that tells you Academics is their main focus is lying to your face. Winning > Grades.
