How to Talk College Football This Season Without Watching A Single Game
Instagram.com/ndfootball
College football season is back, and this year has more going on off the field than on it. Amy and co-host Scott run through the storylines worth knowing before the season gets any further along, no playbook required.
Expect a national champion nobody saw coming, quarterbacks turning down the NFL to stay in college for six million dollars, a coach who may have bugged his former office before skipping town, and a regular Akron fan who got to call plays in a real college football game. Save it for your next tailgate or Monday morning meeting, then follow for more sports news you will want to spill.
In this episode:
Indiana went 16-0, won the national championship, and produced the number one NFL draft pick
NIL explained: why college players are now making millions and what it means for the sport
The transfer portal, what it is and why it nearly broke college football
Quarterbacks making $6M this season who are technically still enrolled in online classes
A player who quit the NFL and sued his way back to college
Lane Kiffin, LSU, the FBI, and a Dr. Pepper commercial about an illegal lane change
Pat McAfee is everywhere, making $60M a year, and people have very strong feelings about it
An Akron superfan won the right to call plays in a real college football game
