Nick Saban went to Capitol Hill to speak out about the future of college football, NIL, the transfer portal, and the growing concerns around the current state of college athletics. On this edition of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker react to Saban's testimony and discuss whether college sports has moved too far toward a pay-for-play model. Has NIL lost its original purpose? Has the transfer portal become unrestricted free agency? Should college football have salary caps, transfer limits, stronger regulations, and a return to more regional rivalries? Mick and Jake break down why Saban believes college athletics needs structure before the sport changes forever. The conversation also turns to the college baseball tournament, where Alabama, Auburn, and Troy are making noise in the postseason. The guys discuss the impact of St. John's upsetting Florida State, what it means for Alabama Baseball's path forward, and why the future of Olympic sports could be in danger if football's revenue model continues to shift.

Steve Sarkisian appears to have put the Texas Tech Red Raiders on blast while discussing strength of schedule in college football. The Texas Longhorns face a loaded 2026 slate featuring Ohio State, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, LSU and Texas A&M—while Texas Tech's path through the Big 12 has sparked debate over whether schedule strength should carry more weight in the College Football Playoff race. Could Texas really go undefeated against Texas Tech's schedule using second- and third-string players? Is the week-to-week grind of the SEC still unmatched in college football? And in the NIL and transfer portal era, do championship contenders even have enough roster depth to survive an elite schedule and a playoff run? Plus, we break down the latest in Alabama athletics:

FanDuel has released some point spreads for some of the biggest games of the 2024 College Football Season: Ole Miss Rebels (-2.5) v. LSU Tigers, Texas Longhorns (-1.5) v. Ohio State Buckeyes, Notre Dame (-6.5) v. Miami, Georgia Bulldogs (-2.5) at Alabama Crimson Tide, Michigan Wolverines (-2.5) v. Oklahoma Sooners, Indiana Hoosiers (-1.5) v. Ohio State Texas Football head coach Steve Sarkisian must think his roster is the best in college football. Coach Sark says he thinks his Longhorns team could go undefeated playing their “twos and threes” against the schedule one team in his state will face.

The Alabama Crimson Tide's recruiting machine hits a rare snag—can Kalen DeBoer's staff fix critical gaps in the trenches before the May 29 visit bonanza? Star prospects like Mitchell Turner and John Meredith headline a must-win weekend as Alabama battles concerns over the lack of offensive tackle and defensive line recruiting dominance, shaking the foundation that powered past championship runs. Elijah Havens and Trent Seaborn lead a quality six-man commitment list, with high-upside defensive lineman Avrian Pauley deserving more attention, and versatile athletes like Colt Lumpus and Kenneth Simon II adding upside. Is this enough to offset glaring concerns at offensive line and defensive tackle? With top prospects like Monshun Sales, Hayden Step, and Malik Howard set to visit, all eyes are on whether Alabama can restore its recruiting edge—or risk falling behind SEC rivals in the race for future national titles.

There were persistent rumors that the Alabama Crimson Tide was looking for a way out of its scheduled home-and-home series against the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2027 and 2028. But recently, reporter Brett McMurphy confirmed that the series would be played as scheduled, with the teams playing in Columbus in 2027 and Tuscaloosa in 2028. Tony Gerdeman of the Buckeye Weekly podcast joins host Tom Orr to discuss why that's a big win - not only for OSU and Alabama, but college football on the whole. 

Birmingham Stallions QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson joins the show We also dive into the best current college football coaches against Top 25 opponents, including why Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer has such an impressive winning percentage but a few puzzling losses. Plus, we look at Oregon head coach Dan Lanning's ranked-game résumé and what it says about the Ducks' championship ceiling.

Heath starts hour 2 looking at the SEC with Jim Dunaway from The Next Round, and college football offseason rankings. We then look around the world of college football with Adam Rittenberg from ESPN. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for a must-watch deep dive into the biggest storylines shaping college football right now. From powerhouse programs to playoff expansion and rising coaching pressure, this conversation covers everything fans are talking about heading into the new season. We kick things off with Kirby Smart's eye-opening comments on why the Big Ten Conference has dominated recent national championships—and what it means for the Southeastern Conference moving forward. Then, Klatt weighs in on Kalen DeBoer and whether Alabama Crimson Tide football actually improved from Year 1 to Year 2 (his answer might surprise you). We also break down the rapid rise of Curt Cignetti and how his early success at Indiana could be putting pressure on coaches across the country to win—and win big—right away. Plus, what does the future hold for the College Football Playoff as expansion looms? Other topics include: When was the true “golden age” of college football? Can Ty Simpson thrive with the Los Angeles Rams? If you're a fan of college football, the SEC, Big Ten, or the future of the sport, you don't want to miss this conversation.

Heath Cline in for Chuck today as we start with the use of AI in college football, and Bill Belichick making an appearance at the Kentucky Derby on the red carpet. We then look at Florida with Zach Goodall from Swamp247. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With 87 overall picks, the Southeastern Conference had the most overall NFL Draft selections for the 20th straight season. The 87 selections are the most ever for any league, as well.

The 2026 NFL Draft Round One is in the books and the Alabama Crimson Tide has extended an impressive streak. The Miami Dolphins selected Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor with pick 12 extending an Alabama Football streak of first round selections to 18 consecutive years and the streak of multiple first round selections to ten consecutive years. That second streak continued because the Los Angeles Rams selected Alabama Football QB Ty Simpson with pick 13, a surprise to many that Simpson went that high. Simpson had been a large focus of the night as the presumed second QB off the board but many analysts thought he'd go lower than 13. The Auburn Tigers are back in the first round. Edge Keldric Faulk was picked by the Tennessee Titans who traded back into the first round to select the Auburn Football pass rusher. Faulk is Auburn's first first round pick since Derrick Brown was selected by the Carolina Panthers in 2020. PLUS, Tyler's Viewing Menu presented by Michelson Laser Vision!

How much does it really cost to keep Alabama Football competing at the highest level in the NIL era? In this video, we break down the growing NIL arms race in college football and what it means for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Courtney Morgan and Greg Byrne have made it clear that the financial pressure is real, with estimates suggesting it could take around $40 million to build and maintain a true championship-caliber roster. If Alabama already has one of the top athletic budgets in the country, why are other programs still pulling ahead? We also dive into the debate over a freshman NIL salary cap and why that idea is gaining support. Is it smart to pay unproven high school players more than $1 million before they ever take a meaningful snap, or is college football creating a dangerous market that rewards hype over production? On top of that, we discuss player retention, transfer portal frustration, and why losing proven veterans stings even more when they take shots at Alabama on the way out. From Tim Smith's departure to bigger concerns about roster management, this conversation gets into the real challenges of keeping talent in Tuscaloosa. And finally, we look at the Alabama quarterback competition between Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. Who has the edge, how do offensive coaches usually handle these battles, and why does picking a starter early matter so much for locker room chemistry and offensive stability? If you follow Alabama Football, college football NIL, the transfer portal, or the future of roster building in the SEC, this is a discussion you do not want to miss. #AlabamaFootball #RollTide #KeelonRussell #AustinMack #NIL #CollegeFootball #SECFootball #TransferPortal #GregByrne #CourtneyMorgan Learn more about your ad choices.
