Many in the sport feel that the American could be one of the best non power conferences in softball in 2025. Today, we begin our three-episode look at the league and what could be in store. First, we chat with East Carolina Head Coach Shane Winkler who has the Pirates in the ascendency after a 38-win season. Coach Winkler breaks down some of his returners from last year along with a big change to the conference tournament. Then, we catch up with friend of the podcast North Texas Head Coach Rodney DeLong. The Mean Green have reloaded and are ready for another run at a conference title. He chats about embracing another tough schedule as well as the most talked-about schedule release in the sport today.
