We’ll be running this interview with Kirk Ferentz on the show soon. @AriWasserman is smiling because it is spectacular. Kirk was awesome.
The executive order, in English: Please continue pretending you're not paying them for being good at football (or basketball). Carry on.
BREAKING: President Donald Trump has signed a College Sports Executive Order that prohibits third-party, pay-for-play payments to collegiate athletes🤯 Titled: "President Donald J. Trump Saves College Sports" on3.com/nil/news/presi…
UCLA coach Deshaun Foster at media days: “I’m back.” Huge smile. “We ARE in LA.” Exactly how he needed to follow up last year.
Northwestern (Fla.) players plead to Miami-Dade school board to reinstate Teddy Bridgewater “He didn’t just coach football. He taught us about manhood, discipline and character,” Miami Northwestern senior offensive lineman Anthony Bell via the Miami Herald READ:…

First words out of Michael Penix Jr.’s mouth after practice: “We got KP the ball today. Gonna be a lot of that.”
In the before-times, we'd have the "bowl bump" where we overrate a team because of a promising bowl game. I think we may be doing the opposite with Oregon because of how badly the Ducks lost in the Rose Bowl. Oregon is probably still loaded. on3.com/news/is-the-ro…
On tomorrow’s show, we talk about P.J. Fleck, and P.J. Fleck magically appears…
Seven-year-old me is in the crowd. Probably the first time I smelled marijuana.
The highest-rated, most-watched Monday Night Football game of all-time Chicago #Bears vs. Miami #Dolphins Week 13, 1985 The '85 #PhinsUp squad preserves the legacy of their undefeated 1972 brethren by defeating the 12-0 Bears at an amped-up Orange Bowl in Miami.
Hadn't seen the full bracket until now. If I get past Leinart, I'm getting clobbered by Herbstreit. In other news, @joelklatt told me he intends to vote for @AriWasserman in their matchup.
A Bracket to determine the best College Football Personality. With @BigGameBoomer taking a backseat, we need to find the new number 1. Seeds are determined by X followers, analysts chosen from numerous lists Every day will be a new matchup, with the first coming later today.
That's not the question. The question is whether the deals serve a legitimate business purpose, and they absolutely do. If you'd like college football's contracts to work like other sports' contracts, write your favorite school president and tell them to negotiate a CBA.
Bullshit. No other sport has inducements to sign contracts.
THE MEET-AND-GREETS SHALL CONTINUE... But seriously, this is a perfectly legitimate business in other walks of life, so there was no way the schools were going to be able to enforce that.
Attorneys have resolved a dispute over how the College Sports Commission handles NIL collectives, sources tell @YahooSports, revising its approach to treat them like other businesses - a major move that paves the way for continued collective operations bit.ly/4kVo5od
NEW: How close was Jeremiah Smith to becoming a Miami Hurricane? 🤔 "That night I definitely talked to Cam Ward." @Andy_Staples & @AriWasserman spoke with the Ohio State superstar at Big Ten Media Days🌰 on3.com/news/how-close…
Cam Ward tried as hard as he could. Just imagine Smith in that Miami offense last year. But Brian Hartline made sure Smith became a Buckeye.
