About this episode
SEC and Big Ten slam the brakes on the idea of pooling college football TV rights & revenue. As smaller conferences push for federal intervention to pool lucrative media rights, we discuss why the two powerhouse conferences aren’t budging. Will the proposed $6 billion revenue plan save Olympic sports or widen the gap between the have and have-nots? The fight for TV money, NIL deals, and the future of college football’s hierarchy heats up, especially with a committee meeting this week at the White House.  Also, Mississippi shakes up recruiting by passing a bill to make NIL earnings tax-free, giving Ole Miss and Mississippi State a fresh edge. Chris Gordy explains how this move, following similar laws in Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and Arkansas, could shift the SEC’s competitive balance. Plus, get the scoop on Mark Stoops’ surprising new role at Texas and hear the latest on NCAA tournament travel chaos as Selection Sunday approaches.   Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
