About this episode
Conference USA escalates its feud with Louisiana Tech, shifting from petty to vindictive moves that threaten Sun Belt realignment. Is the fight over conference membership turning into a war of attrition?
Dave Schultz breaks down the latest legal maneuvers, including Conference USA’s push for arbitration and the controversial scheduling of Louisiana Tech in both leagues for 2026.
With $5.5 million at stake and a federal judge tied to Louisiana Tech, the drama intensifies—will money solve the dispute, or is Conference USA out for more?
Sun Belt baseball surges as Southern Miss claims the top RPI spot, with four teams in the top 25 and five in the top 50.
Schultz highlights key matchups, RPI shakeups, and player performances—including South Alabama's bounce-back win over Alabama.
The podcast also previews Troy vs. Nebraska in the NCAA tournament, explores coaching rumors at ULM and Georgia State, and offers betting insights for upcoming games.
