What We've Learned From Studying NFL Ratings | Jay Paterno on James Franklin Firing, Changing CFB Tides


Listen Later

The NFL is having one of its strongest seasons in decades as ratings hit historic highs in the United States and abroad. From massive viewership for Chiefs-Bills to the league’s London, Germany, and Madrid expansion push, the NFL continues to build global momentum. Front Office Sports newsletter writer David Rumsey breaks down why this season is rewriting the record books and how the Cowboys-Chiefs Thanksgiving matchup could challenge all-time regular-season viewership. Meanwhile, FOS reporter Colin Salao details the relationship and actions between Congress and NBA commissioner Adam Silver over the sports betting scandal.

Plus, college football is entering one of the wildest coaching cycles in years, with buyouts approaching $200 million for this season alone. Former Penn State assistant coach and current trustee Jay Paterno joins us to explain why the transfer portal, NIL (name, image, and likeness) era, fan impatience, and massive contracts are reshaping the sport. He also shares insight into Penn State’s coaching future, the challenge of defining success in modern college football, and how potential congressional action could change the NCAA’s future.
