Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss whether an HBCU "Super Conference" combining the SWAC and MEAC could ever become a reality and if people really think wrestling is real.

There is no official unified "HBCU Super Conference" combining the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), as both Division I conferences continue to operate independently. While the concept of a super league has been a popular talking point among fans and analysts following high-profile expansions, a full merger remains highly unlikely due to logistical and financial challenges. Could a merger be successful? What would it look like?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Celtics owner Bill Chisholm's comments about the Jaylen Brown trade.

Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens said recently in a press conference, that the team's decision to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers was driven by the need for greater salary cap flexibility rather than dissatisfaction with Brown as a player. Celtics owner Bill Chisholm echoed those sentiments, saying the move was about positioning the franchise for long-term success rather than cutting costs. Jaylen Brown was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers on July 1, 2026 in a blockbuster trade, which became official on July 6. The trade sent Brown to Philadelphia in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks, giving Boston more financial flexibility and additional assets to reshape its roster for the future.
