Chip Kelly’s return to the Big Ten as Northwestern’s offensive coordinator is electrifying the football world—this time with dual-threat QB Aidan Chiles and veteran QB coach Jerry Neuheisel, who’s reuniting with Kelly after his UCLA days. The Wildcats opened strong, showing promise on both offense and run game. Meanwhile, men’s basketball faces a steep rebuild without key scorers, while women’s basketball, led by new coach Carla Berube, seeks offensive firepower with new transfers. And in golf, the women’s team, anchored by senior Ashley Yun, is poised for a national title run.

Iowa’s football team is rebuilding its dominant defense with rising stars like Merrieweather and Epenesa, while the offense looks to ignite with transfers Diaz and Brown—though the QB spot remains uncertain with inexperienced starters. On the hardwood, men’s basketball returns with Koch leading the charge after losing star Stirtz, bolstered by new transfers McKeever and Coleman. Women’s hoops aims for deep NCAA runs, anchored by scoring leader Ava Heiden and explosive freshman Woliczko, backed by transfer Carnegie. All eyes are on how these squads adapt and rise.

UCLA hoops is heating up—this year’s Bruins could be national title contenders. Freshman phenom Nikola Kusturica, a Serbian forward who dazzled at the FIBA U17 World Cup, might just be the breakout star. Meanwhile, guards Trent Perry and Jaylen Petty are primed to take over the backcourt: Perry has a chance to step into a bigger role with key losses, while Petty, a transfer from Texas Tech, could be UCLA’s best shooter since Mick Cronin’s arrival. Can they rise to the occasion and make this team truly special?
