We'll explore how the settlement's third-party clearinghouse, designed to ensure market-value alignment, is creating a sense of urgency for players and programs alike.

We'll discuss how schools and collectives are approaching this transfer period, with many expecting a shift in how NIL deals are structured and executed post-settlement. Are we seeing a "last hurrah" of uncapped spending?

This podcast will also examine the potential impact of the House Settlement on future transfer portal windows. We'll discuss how the clearinghouse might affect player movement, contract negotiations, and the overall dynamics of college football.

Don't miss this critical analysis of the transfer portal and the seismic changes coming to NIL. This episode is essential for anyone following the money, movement, and future of college football.
