Amanda Christovich of Front Office Sports joins 365 Sports to break down the true forces shaping college athletics in 2025 and it’s not just the NCAA. From the Trump executive order to the Score Act, Amanda explains how power has shifted toward the College Sports Commission, the House plaintiffs, and the big-money conferences.

She dives into the fragile legal structure of NIL, the confusion over fair market value, and the ongoing battle between collectives and compliance. Amanda also discusses why the Big Ten is still exploring private equity while other leagues pull back, and whether Tony Petitti’s 5+7 playoff format is a negotiating tactic or a genuine strategy.

This is a must-watch look at the evolving future of college sports governance, postseason politics, and media money.

In this edition of Paul Catalina’s Top 5, 365 Sports takes a hard look at five major programs facing low expectations heading into the 2025 college football season. From Stanford’s transfer portal exodus to Scott Frost’s uncertain return at UCF, Paul breaks down why these teams are trending toward tough years.

He dives into concerns about quarterback play at Mississippi State, roster questions at Kentucky and UCLA, and why even a promising young QB like Nico Iamaleava may not be enough to save the Bruins in Year 1 under DeShaun Foster.

Whether it’s program rebuilds, coaching shifts, or just bad vibes, these teams might want to hit pause on playoff talk in 2025.
