On today's show, we have a major academic rules violation in college sports. So the entire episode will center around the Featured Rules Item. Recorded earlier in the week, we dive into what the violation was at the University of Memphis, and we also debut our show-cause alarm sound effect! I know, contain your excitement. This case is pretty open/shut, you won't be railing against the NCAA for this one, but beyond the violation, we examine the circumstances surrounding the vital and perhaps not often thought-about position of academic advisors in Division I athletic departments.

Everybody's Talks, only do we hear what they are saying. Congress is talking amongst themselves about the SCORE Act, SEC Media Days are for talking about how it just means more, and we want to talk about some teams that are not getting a lot of talk in the preseason, but we think may surprise us in 2025.

Lawyer up, pal, because in this episode we are going to pay tribute to our one true king, billable hours. There are lawyers, and then there are lawyers that consistently whoop the NCAA in the courtroom. Those lawyers are compensated quite well for those efforts, they also are not happy with some of the efforts of the new College Sports Commission to prevent collectives from paying athletes for doing work for their group. They would prefer "valid" business practices, but we are (slightly) calling BS on them. Let's take a look at how this issue could twist the attempts to live in the House Era into a pretzel.

Here is the post from Dalton Forsythe.

Has the ACC laid the seeds of its own destruction? Their settlement to the Clemson and Fl St lawsuit may have done so, we dive a little deeper into what it could mean. Also, our Top 5/Bottom 5 for the week, and some veterans at the NCAA are leaving the organization. We'll also take a look at what could be an actual bill in Congress to stabilize college sports, but for whom?

What do we see on the horizon? The 2025 College Football Season of course. Today we will discuss some of the storylines brewing across the conferences for the upcoming season. What intrigues us the most when it comes to the teams, and who is getting a lot of the early hype.

We also discuss more Athletic Director moves, whether they are retiring out of the game or on the move, the shifting of ADs around the country are matching the shifting sands of the college athletic framework. Later, in our FRI, Vandy is making a move to market their school on multiple levels. Will it work?

Wishing to live in precedented times? Well too bad, these are unprecedented times for college athletics, from player contracts to ADs on the way out, to the possible return of bag men, it is time to decide if you are in or out on this iteration of collegiate sports. Hopefully you are in, because otherwise it's off to find another podcast genre. If you are in, come for the thoughts of leaders throughout the game, stay for the mediocre disaster movie references.
