Emergency Podcast – 2026 B1G Tourney Format Change

Carl and Cass discuss surprising announcement from the Big Ten Conference about a bizarre new 2026 Tournament format

You get to listen in on the conversation.

This podcast is less structured than our weekly podcasts, just a raw discussion as we process the implications on B1G Baseball, the Indiana Hoosiers, and College Baseball in general.
