    Welcome to The Unafraid Show's College Football Apostles with George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden! On today's episode, the guys get into whether or not it's possible to build a championship team through NIL and the transfer portal and discuss whether Deion Sanders is cooking up the correct recipe. They also discuss comments by LSU's Brian Kelly, Auburn's Hugh Freeze, and Boise State's Spencer Danielsen about their reluctance to use NIL to buy players. Is this evidence that the NIL pendulum is swinging back to sensibility, or is this just spin from coaches that struck out on buying the players they wanted? The guys also go through their top 10 teams coming out of spring football and heading into the 2024 season. Find out which Big 12 team gets some love, and why the guys think half the top 10 is in the SEC. #Collegefootball #CFB #collegefootballNews #cfbplayoffs #collegefootballpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    On this week's episode of the Pac-12 Apostles Podcast, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden talk about the Pac-12's dwindling finances, and speculate on ways for the conference to play catch up. George and Ralph talk storylines for all 12 teams, and rate how hot the seat is for each Pac-12 Head Coach. Ray Anderson's interview with Brad Denny of the Speak of the Devils Podcast has the guys heated, and they discuss some of the answers he gave about the status and direction of the program. With Texas RB Bijan Robinson getting an NIL deal with Lamborghini, which Pac-12 players are deserving of recognition and partnerships with national brands? Finally, the Pac-12 released the kickoff times and networks for the non-conference schedule, so the guys go over some of the best games. #fsrweekends See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    On this episode of the Pac-12 Apostles Podcast, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden discuss the decision to go from division champions meeting at the end of the season, to the two best teams. Also, with Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher publicly feuding about the role and uses of NIL to build recruiting classes, is the Pac-12 positioned to make a leap forward under the new system or not? George and Ralph agree that many of the recent rule changes will likely help USC succeed, but Lincoln Riley has been accused of recruiting players on other rosters by representatives of Oklahoma, Pitt, Arizona State, Colorado and more- can the Trojans stay above the fray long enough to reap the benefits of the NIL era? Also, ASU adds a QB, but with 5 scholarship passers already on the roster, how will that affect the team? #fsrweekends See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    On this Episode of the Pac-12 Apostles, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden are back! George took his son on unofficial visits to University of Arizona, University of Utah, and UCLA - he details his up-close impressions of each football program. An investigation into the decision by Washington to fire Jimmy Lake didn't turn up anything scandalous, which backs up George's reporting last year that they just decided to move on based on how they felt the program was regressing. Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff finally acted to get the conference out of their insanely expensive San Francisco lease, so why isn't Ralph happy? Oregon bolstered their 2022 class by adding 5-star OL Josh Conerly, and convincing highly touted WR Kyler Kasper to commit and reclassify- the guys analyze those additions and talk about Oregon's recruiting. Lincoln Riley weighs in on what he'd like to see done to curb the influence of NIL collectives- George sees it as whining, while Ralph disagrees. Last up, in QB news, JT Daniels spurns Oregon State and lands at West Virginia, while Arizona State openly suggests they're still looking for next year's QB. #fsrweekends See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
