Cash the Ticket is presented by Fanduil Sportsbook. Make every moment more.

It is Cash the Ticket. Good to have everybody aboard. It is preview season. And of course, we start.

Well, I'm going to say with the conference that we are geographically close

And then there's you.

You're tear guy.

Yeah, no crying here.

We're going to break these conferences down by tears.

But you do it with good names and fun.

And I want to dive into it because the Big Ten's got a problem.

Okay.

What is that problem?
