Bigger Ten

Bigger Ten offers an incisive and often contrarian perspective on the world of Big Ten college sports, primarily focusing on football and basketball. Hosted by Steve Deace and Aaron McIntire, the podcast goes beyond game recaps to dissect critical conference-level issues, including administrative decisions, financial dealings like private equity deals, and the broader political landscape of college athletics. It provides in-depth analysis of team performance, coaching moves, and major rivalries, while also challenging mainstream sports media narratives, particularly regarding perceived SEC bias. The show appeals to dedicated Big Ten fans and college sports enthusiasts seeking a deep, opinionated, and often critical examination of the sport's strategic, business, and cultural dimensions.
