Interesting B1G schedule nugget in PJ Fleck's new contract

We've talked about the different potential formats for the B1G schedule when USC and UCLA join in 2024.
The Big Ten already plays nine conference games but is considering potentially going to 10 with the expansion.

Fleck's new contract has stipulations to adjust depending on the new format.

What will be interesting in the decision to me is the SEC. The Big Ten already plays one extra conference game, while the SEC tends to play an FCS opponent in the week before rivalry week. They are considering playing 9 games with their own expansion, but they have also stated the Big Ten Media deal would play a role in future schedules. The schedule expansion and the new media rights deals is part of the reason I think the future games with Texas and Oklahoma are at risk.

Air Raid?

Big Ten football is going to get more exciting very quickly. As soon as next season, six teams have hired coaches or OCs, and recruited new QBs to play pass-happy Air Raid offense—Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin will join Purdue, Indiana and Maryland, who already play that style. Then in ‘24 USC and UCLA arrive, both playing that style. That’s half the Big Ten playing Air Raid.

Looks like we’d better load up on really good corners and safeties, as well as some EDGEs capable of applying serious pressure.

If Corum comes back, what would be our question marks?

The OL looks dominant and Moore is a genius.

Corum and Edwards as RBs might be our most ridiculously loaded backfield in some time.

QB is on the rise and has room to be a Heisman contender.

WR: I have seen rumors that Cornelius Johnson could be back. Roman Wilson. AA. Clemons.

Defense: LB room is being restocked.

DL: strong. Has some rising stars staying despite the guys headed to the NFL.

DBs: awaiting decisions on Turner and Green. Will Johnson is a star.

Maybe kicking/punting is the only thing we don't know much about?

Jay always has those guys ready though.

Meanwhile Iowa is expected to minimize its ties with its largest NIL collective

“The Swarm” is the largest NIL collective supporting Iowa. Their AD makes solicitations for it (a la Manuel today), they have access to the season ticket holder contact list, and Ferentz himself has cut ads for them. No more.

As The Swarm only supports football, Iowa finds itself concerned that by allowing extraordinary access for a collective focused only on a men’s sport that it could find itself in a Title IX lawsuit for doing so. They’ve cut off the collective‘s access to ticket holder contact info and its assistance from university employees.
