Church Pew Sports - Pastors Talking Sports & Life

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 164 - Football and Faith with Jim Daly - Pres of Focus on the Family

What an incredible conversation with the man who leads the team at Focus on the Family, Jim Daly.

He's a HUGE football guy (loves the Broncos), loves golf (casual Augusta National name drop in the pod), and truly "gets it" when we talk about connecting men to a deeper faith through their love of sports. His insights on coaching and leadership need to be heard by every Pastor and ministry leader in the nation.

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 158 - Armen Keteyian On College Football's Era of Chaos

We welcome in NY Times Best-selling author, Emmy Award winner, and legendary investigative reporter Armen Keteyian to talk about his new book, THE PRICE: What It Takes To Win In College Football's Era of Chaos.

Armen discusses the current state of college football, particularly focusing on the issue of player compensation and transfers... the recent case of the UNLV quarterback and the offer made by a Michigan fan to a top 10 quarterback. Armen also shared his insights on the NCAA, describing it as a cartel violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. He also mentioned the legal history of the NCAA, including the O'Bannon, Austin, and House cases. We also discuss the reality that the NCAA has been delaying and denying player compensation for decades, spending millions of dollars defending its indefensible practices.

Order: THE PRICE
