Episode 19: On a Division-Less Big Ten and the Specifics of Slander

Episode Summary

Serena and Matt discuss what the Big Ten would look like if it were to ditch divisions (which is where the major conferences seem to be headed), who Michigan should be locked in with as "rivals," what realignment would mean for the conference title game and The Game itself, and which college football players/coaches we'd wake up at 4:45 a.m. for just to slander.
