Purdue Boilermakers 2024 Football Preview
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images A rough schedule and key holes in the lineup help explain why Purdue is picked to finish last in the Big Ten in 2024.

The Fraudulent History of Amateurism And College Football
| If you believe college football is being ruined because amateurism is dead, you need to watch this. I continue to make videos about college football history. Deep history. This one is about the origins of amateurism – as in, why did we believe so strongly in amateurism before the NCAA was created? I am getting started with Patreon, so please support me there. I have ambitious plans for the history channel, and they will require hiring video editors or animators to do things I certainly... |

| Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports Plus, we have to share our #GBR hashtag for two weeks – Boo!
