On today's show, it's the final day to enter the Transfer Portal before it closes for good this spring. We've got the latest as Kalen DeBoer and Alabama add a safety from Charlotte in Kameron Howard, while they lose early enrollee DB Peyton Woodyard. Arkansas loses veteran running back Dominique Johnson, while Ole Miss loses WR Zakhari Franklin, and Tennessee loses DB Cristian Conyer.
We also touch on the big story from ESPN that there are deep discussions relating to a legal settlement that could give revenue sharing to student athletes. It comes on the heels of an NIL antitrust class action lawsuit, and if the NCAA decides to settle, there could be a reality where schools & conferences are sharing revenue with student athletes in the very near future, with some projecting top end revenue sharing around $20 million per school.
And we hit on the Transfer Portal latest with men's basketball as John Calipari and Arkansas add Tennessee big man Jonas Aidoo, Alabama closes in on Kentucky big man Ugonna Onyenso, Nate Oats gets forward Grant Nelson back for another season, and Mark Pope and Kentucky add Wake Forest's Andrew Carr.
