  • Moved on

    The show lost me because the host seems convinced of his own brilliance without offering much to justify it. His logic is scattered, his confidence misplaced, and he delivers his opinions like they’re universal truths. It’s exhausting rather than insightful. I’ve moved on.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BUZZ: Pac-12 SURGE Could be Propelled by 24-team Playoff, but ONLY if G6 Gets Real Ranking Respect
Q: Which teams look like the best bets to capitalize on a 24-team format in the near term?
Teams like Tulane, Houston, and BYU are highlighted as having strong resumes and recent success that could translate to at-large consideration, especially if they can notch notable non-conference wins and perform well against power conferences.
BUZZ: Pac-12 SURGE Could be Propelled by 24-team Playoff, but ONLY if G6 Gets Real Ranking Respect
Q: How would a 24-team playoff handle Group of Six teams that didn't traditionally get in under the 12-team era?
The hosts suggest that resumes, strength of schedule, and key non-conference wins will still matter, but the expanded field could open room for more diverse access if scheduling and perceived strength skew in favor of higher-level competition.
FALLOUT: Cincinnati, Brendan Sorsby Facing Major NCAA Fallout—How Will Texas Tech REACT?
Q: How did Josh Hoover perform in Indiana's spring game according to the hosts?
Hoover showed some flashes but overall appeared unsettled, under pressure, and lacked fluidity, suggesting the offense needs time to gel before fall camp.
REPORT: Pac-12 INVOLVED in Discussions with B1G/Big 12/ACC Regarding POOLING Media Rights--Feasible?
Q: Why would pooling media rights be controversial among the power conferences?
Because it could level distributions but threaten the premium value of top programs and upset traditional revenue hierarchies, causing pushback from the SEC and others.
REPORT: Pac-12 INVOLVED in Discussions with B1G/Big 12/ACC Regarding POOLING Media Rights--Feasible?
Q: What did Ross Dellinger report about the meeting of conference and league officials?
A meeting with Pac-12 representatives and other conferences, including the Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC, was discussed, with lawmakers involved to explore amending law.
