The day has come. The Between the Stripes Podcast Network finally discusses all the conference realignment craziness. Will the Big 8 dissolve? Will the American expand? Will the Pac-12 become a super conference? Find out our thoughts!

Marshall and Omar are back discussing the legitimacy of Barstool's sponsorship of the Arizona Bowl and go back in time and ask what if Ohio could have held on to their 14-12 4th quarter lead vs Ohio State and how that may have impacted Frank Solich's legacy in Athens.

Friend, former New Mexico Highlands Wide Receiver, and hopeful New Mexico State walk-on, Ethan Hampsten joins to discuss conference realignment talk, Ivy League realignment that is, as we look at rumored Ivy League expansion talk from 1982 and the validity of each member named in the New York Times report.

Much is happening in college football outside of all the preseason hype and conference realignment, such as the Hula Bowl moving from venerable Aloha Stadium to UCFs Bounce House.   So we had UCF student, Army fan, and friend of the pod, Alex Funderburke tp join and discuss the all-star game moving to Orlando. We question whether a long-term move is in the cards and if this takes away from the storied tradition of the Hawaii all-star game.

After lengthy vacations and moves, Jackson and Omar are back like Texas to preview the Heisman race and focus on players to watch in the Heisman race. Some of these names might surprise you and if we missed mentioning your favorite player let us know in the comments or on Twitter or Instagram!

Marshall and Omar discuss the big losers of CFP expansion and the impacts of a 12 team playoff in the Group of Five. They also discuss NIL and other college football hot topics.

Another week, another guest, as Duane Nash from the Yard HBCU Sports talks about last week's news of Howard's game at Audi Field against Hampton and whether this could set the stage for a continuation of the Georgetown-Howard rivalry. We also talk about the future of the MEAC and other HBCU topics. You won't want to miss it.
