Summary

There is a lot to discuss on today's show as Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit. Gene Smith indicated the Big Ten is on the verge of eliminating divisions. How early could this happen? Also, what are thoughts on the new TV deal that the Big Ten struck? We were surprised by any of the details?

Regarding Ohio State's football team itself, the media got a chance to interview the Buckeyes' quarterbacks this season. How much better can C.J. Stroud be this year after his stellar 2021 season? If disaster struck and Stroud was injured, could Kyle McCord or Devin Brown hold the fort down for OSU?

Also, the opener against Notre Dame is two weeks from tomorrow. How do we feel about the matchup from the Buckeyes' standpoint?

All of that and much more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
