Happy New NCAA Manual release to all who celebrate. The new 25-26 version is out, and yes it is slightly less dense than before.

We briefly discuss the FBS Oversight Committee presenting a single, 10-day transfer portal window to cut down on the offseason chaos. Will it go into effect, and hold up to the scrutiny?

Also, a coach wanted to teach his team a lesson by running them after a game, we'll share how that is a no-no according to the rules.

We then dive into the weekend that was in College Football. Week 2 had some surprises and some letdowns, we will talk about it all.

They often say the weeks where the college football slate lacks in highly ranked contests produce some of the best games and twists. We happen to agree. We run down the match-ups we are most looking forward to this weekend.

For our Featured Rules Item: the NCAA is getting sued (again). This time over eligibility of 10 Vanderbilt athletes over not getting their full years of competition in. We breakdown the rules and regs they are challenging under antitrust law.

Also, the NCAA released a memo (didn't you get it?), about speaking facts (as they see it) when it comes to the SCORE Act, we take a look and also discuss Cody Campbell's response.

Two prominent figures in college football are bringing up spending of programs' rosters this season, we discuss why they shouldn't.

In today's episode, we get right into the week 1 that was (minus the Monday Night game). What stood out, who showed out, and who went below expectations. We also take a look at a couple of rule applications, one murky and one clear as day.

Some big themes we saw; timid playcalling, low scoring, and of course, some bad game management. It's all here, let's talk about it.

Actual college football to discuss! We rundown what happened on week 0 Saturday.

Also, some interesting insights by ADs on how spending and expenses have gotten so out of control in college sports. Little has to do with paying athletes believe it or not.

We end our short Monday session by discussing the SEC adding the 9th game and what it could mean for the CFP and beyond.

Week Zero is upon us, all hail Week Zero.

In today's episode, we offer some more thoughts on the Michigan case that we broke down previously. Also, the College Football Playoff Committee wants us to believe in their "data" analytics, but are they just prepping us to toss as many Big 2 teams in the playoff come December?

Then we try to take a more zen or at least a more contemplative look at the 2025 season by attributing quotes by noted philosophers and applying them to fanbases of various teams.  Let's stretch our brains, people.

Hello! Certified "scum of the earth" here, and on today's episode, we go deep into the Committee on Infractions report published Friday on Michigan's violations from the Connor Stallions situation. 

There is a lot to digest, and we break down not only the facts of the case, but how Michigan's violations go beyond a simple spying scandal. It really boils down to a culture of a program that had Jim Harbaugh making an enemy of those trying to protect the program.

How did Michigan get off easy, and how did they avoid the harshest ban-hammer penalty, and how it's hard to discern where this case falls on that spectrum.

One thing is for sure, the show-cause alarm will sound when we discuss the penalties.

A NEW governance structure has been approved for Division I college sports. How will it fare? No one knows! But the NCAA is betting on it working, and frankly given all the criticisms they have faced, it better.
