We run through all 16 SEC teams and their times and  networks.

Also, Jordan Kaye of The State in Colombia joins us to recap the week of SEC Meetings in Destin  as he was there all week covering all the big stories for the SEC including fallout from the House vs NCAA settlement, potential injury reports, no punishments for transfers, potential roster reductions & elimination of walk-ons, and much more!

On today's show, we explore the possibility of Florida State joining the SEC down the road as the Seminoles and Clemson continue with their lawsuits vs the ACC - and while in Destin for the SEC Meetings this week, Florida AD Scott Stricklin was asked if the Gators would be on board with welcoming their rival into the SEC in the future? 

And could the Florida-Georgia rivalry go from neutral site to being played on their campuses in the near future? Meanwhile, the SEC is planning a HUGE welcome party for both Texas and Oklahoma as they officially become members on July 1st this summer. But did the Texas AD say that the Texas-Oklahoma rivalry is better than all the other SEC rivalry games, including the Iron Bowl?!?

Day 1 of SEC Meetings in Destin got underway on Tuesday and we heard from many of the SEC Football Coaches as they addressed the media and spoke on a number of topics. But one of the biggest topics facing the immediate future of college football - with the House vs NCAA settlement and revenue sharing coming, will we see a change in "roster limitations", potentially trimming rosters down to as low as 85 players, and potentially the elimination of walk-ons. Needless to say, several coaches like Shane Beamer and Mike Elko are not fans (especially when you consider Beamer himself was a walk-on!) We also get quotes from Alabama's Kalen DeBoer, Georgia's Kirby Smart and Arkansas' Sam Pittman.

In addition, we hear Florida coach Billy Napier address the Jaden Rashada lawsuit, Steve Sarkisian and Brent Venables talked about Texas & Oklahoma joining the conference, while Auburn coach Hugh Freeze gave an update on RB Brian Battie who was injured in a serious shooting recently. 

And Lane Kiffin says that Kirby Smart is now the "lead" in the SEC coaches meetings with Nick Saban now retired.

As the SEC Meetings get underway over in Destin, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey spoke with the media on Monday evening and touched on a number of big topics, including  - could we see Injury Reports come to the SEC in the near future? In the ever expanding world of sports betting, the SEC could follow others and begin providing weekly "Player Availability Reports", or as we call them injury reports, providing as much information as possible to fans. 

In addition, Sankey comments on the House vs NCAA settlement which will change the landscape of revenue sharing with players in the near future, as well as the Jaden Rashada lawsuit, the future of SEC scheduling & much more.

Also, we discuss the monumental settlement between the Houston vs NCAA that will ultimately lead to schools being able to share some of their revenue with student athletes. According to reports, the future revenue-sharing model could take effect as early as Fall 2025, with many SEC schools expected to be able to share upwards of $22 million in revenue with players. We discuss the ramifications and some of the pros and cons.
