        • PAC 12 and Mountain West to play while predicting the future remains hard

          The PAC 12 & Mountain West have announced they'll play football yet this fall as improved coronavirus testing improves. I talk about how the moves are actually a better sign for basketball than football.

          • Actually, TRIBALISM infects everything

            Why is it so tough for people to make a statement about racism in our country without blowback? Today's episode looks at another incident, this time with the Kansas State football team and the apparent financial impact.
