Saturdays are for football, friends and food. This week's podcast covers everything you need to survive college football season
Transcript
1. Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) has changed the landscape of college sports since being announced last year. Restaurant chain Hooters signed 51 offensive linemen. Plenty of players are making money but none like Alabama quarterback and defending Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young who is bringing home an estimated $3.2M. GETTING PAID
2. The Saturday morning staple, ESPN's "College GameDay," has a new addition - Peloton instructor Jess Sims. She will join the familiar faces of Gameday Rece Davis, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit. NEW KID ON THE BLOCK
3. Here are three storylines to follow on the field. Look for leading Heisman Trophy candidates Ohio State's quarterback C.J. Stroud and Alabama's quarterback Bryce Young to lead their team on the field. Former Oklahoma Sooners head coach Lincoln Riley made a hasty exit from Oklahoma last year and is now living the California life as the head coach of USC Football. The Georgia Bulldogs are the reigning champions. FAST AND FURIOUS
4. Well, this is awkward. Major programs like Oklahoma, Texas, USC and UCLA have announced they are leaving their conferences, but not for a few years. HELLO, GOODBYE
5. You can't talk football without talking about tailgating. Unsurprisingly, the average tailgater is a male between 25-44 years old who spends over $500 a year on tailgating food by attending or hosting 6-10 parties a season. But that number may rise this year as beer prices have gone up 5% and groceries up 13%. MORE BEER, LESS FOOD
Sports Curious, presented by Last Night's Game, is here to take the awkward out of the conversation and help you join the sports conversation, even if you don't know the first thing about sports. We break down what's happening in sports in an easy-to-understand, fun way without all of the statistics and jargon, so you never have to exit stage left when the chatter at the office, dinner table or networking event switches to sports.
