An old Conference USA rivalry with plenty of lore and signature moments returns to the light. The “Moonshine Throwdown” was a victim of conference realignment, but the rivalry will now be renewed in a non-conference setting.

It’s another week of the Recruiting Roundup. One recruiting topic that has been on my mind is how North Dakota State is preparing to make the jump from FCS to FBS football and the number of scholarship players they will have on their roster for the 2026 season.

The Wisconsin Badgers didn’t have the season they wanted in 2025, going 4-8, although a pair of late-season wins gave additional confidence that the team could turn it around with increased resources in 2026.
