One of the most shocking rulings in college sports history came down Monday when a Texas judge granted an injunction for Brendan Sorsby's gambling case. This now makes him eligible for the 2026 season. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger discuss the national outrage over this ruling and its potential lasting impact. Schools have already started discussing if they will refuse to schedule Texas Tech in the future. The Big 12 is looking at what options it may have to prevent Sorsby from playing for Texas Tech. The NCAA is going to appeal, but that hearing will most likely come too late. The guys look at the various options for a response and the factors that play into each of those. Could this be the beginning of conferences governing themselves?

Plus, they also look at the impact on Brendan Sorsby. The Red Raiders' QB now has a target painted squarely on his back. How will that impact him and how will all of this affect his draft stock for the 2027 NFL Draft? Is there a way it could help him, or is the impact only detrimental?

Are the Big Ten and SEC under attack? That is what it looked like on Wednesday at the Senate hearing for the Protect College Sports Act. One thing that was made very clear was that the parts of the bill that are aimed directly at the SEC and the Big Ten are not going to be changed. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the hearing and what the fallout may be. Could this be another nudge for the Big Ten and SEC to separate from the NCAA?

Then, the guys discuss another prominent figure who was at Wednesday's hearing. Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bevacqua. Bevacqua openly spoke about the idea of a super league and what that would actually look like. He discussed how the pooling of rights would really only involve the top brand-name programs getting together and the schedules would be stacked with huge matchups. Andy and Ross discuss the enticing aspect of this and what would happen in the world of this specific type of super league.

Later, the guys shift to the feud between Texas and Texas Tech. Recently, Texas Head Coach Steve Sarkisian called out Texas Tech's weak schedule. Tech responded by offering to buy out both teams' Week 1 opponents so they could play each other. Texas did not accept this offer. As a response, Texas Tech Head Coach Joey McGuire called Texas scared and said in 2027 and 2028 they will be scheduling a big non-conference opponent. Andy and Ross discuss all of the drama going on in the state of Texas.

Last episode the guys filled you in on the bombshell development of the Protect College Sports Act that was created in the Senate. Well, just a week later there is a hearing to discuss this latest bill. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss what the purpose of this hearing is, who is on what side and what could come out of Wednesday's hearing. Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua and Nick Saban are among those set to testify. Is this bill good or bad for college athletics?

Then, they discuss one of the many hot button issues in college football. Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at tampering, but specifically in the case of Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding. No decision has been made about the allegations made against Golding for tampering with a Clemson player, but he and his camp have made it very clear that if he is punished, he has no issue releasing all of the information about who has tampered with his team. The crew discusses this situation and what the likely resolution is. 

Later, the guys remember an all-time great who is now on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot. Mike Leach has finally been added to the Hall of Fame ballot and will be eligible for the 2027 class. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss the rule change that made Leach eligible and reflect on memories of a coach who changed the game.

College athletics could soon be changing in a big way. A final decision is yet to be determined, but a huge step was taken on Wednesday when Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell released the Protect College Sports Act. This bipartisan bill has many layers including preventing a super league, creating a 5-year limit on eligibility and more. Two of the most noticeable parts are the ability for conferences to pool their media rights and creating a hard cap for NIL. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger discuss the most impactful parts of this bill and the next steps for passing it. Is it possible this could pass in the coming months?

Then, Andy and Ross discuss news coming out of the SEC spring meetings. Among the many topics discussed at the meetings, one that stood out the most was the concept of the SEC collectively bargaining with its athletes. The other notable idea discussed was the SEC breaking away from the NCAA and governing itself.  The guys discuss both of these topics. Is collective bargaining possible? Would breaking away from the NCAA actually be in the SEC's best interest?

Later, the guys chat about news for the upcoming season. More kickoff times have been released for the first few weeks of the season and Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek was not thrilled with the difficulties it will cause his team. Plus, Big Noon Kickoff's Week 1 game has been released and Greg Sankey feels that the SEC's deal with Disney is undervalued.

An Enquirer first opens the show today as Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey talk college softball drama from the weekend. Texas Tech's Mia Williams faced her former team, Florida, in a Super Regional matchup and was hit by five pitches throughout the three-game series. Drama ensued. This got the guys thinking if this could happen in college football. Andy and Godfrey discuss what the transfer vs. former team matchups are that will be the most dramatic this season. Texas Tech against Cincinnati will depend on if Brendan Sorsby is eligible to play or not, but two other big games that the guys discuss are Miami and Darian Mensah visiting Duke and Lane Kiffin and LSU visiting Ole Miss.
