Court storming penalties in college sports spark heated debates. Alabama AD Greg Byrne suggests perhaps forfeiting victories due to fan storming the court of football field. Chris Gordy tackles this controversial topic, questioning the fairness of punishing teams for their fans' exuberance. Can you imagine Auburn losing that huge upset over Alabama because fans rushed the court? It seems extreme, especially considering injuries are rare in these situations. What do you think - would forfeiting games be too harsh, or is it necessary for safety?

Also, the SEC and Big Ten could be pushing for more CFP expansion. They're eyeing 14-16 team models with 4 auto-bids each for SEC and Big Ten. But should they really be treated equally? SEC dominates recruiting rankings and transfer portal. Is it fair to give Big Ten the same number of guaranteed spots as the SEC? And a 9-game conference schedule may be coming for the SEC after all - with an SEC-Big Ten challenge pairing across both football leagues. 

And it looks like LSU basketball coach Matt McMahon is staying put despite the 2-10 SEC record. Word is they're focusing on boosting NIL budget for hoops. But with football, baseball, gymnastics, and women's basketball all vying for those NIL dollars, something's gotta give. And it's something all SEC schools will be facing soon - which teams get priority in NIL spending?

Join the conversation as Gordy provides insights into the evolving landscape of SEC athletics. Don't miss this engaging analysis of college sports dynamics and the future of your favorite teams.

Our last batch of interviews from Super Bowl week, we catch up with Adam Breneman of CBS Sports, as we ask: Is the SEC still the powerhouse of college football, or has the Big Ten taken the lead? He admits the SEC still has better environments and fan bases overall. Do you agree the Big Ten has caught up to the SEC, or is the SEC still king?

Also, we sit down with former LSU standout DL Michael Brockers, as he shares stories from his playing days, including playing in the  2012 "Game of the Century" vs Bama, where there were about 20 first-rounders on the field that day!
