In this college football podcast episode, Ralph Russo from The Athletic joins us to break down the complex College Football Playoff negotiations happening behind closed doors between the Big Ten, SEC and other conferences. Our conversation centers on how the number of SEC conference games is driving the debate, explores the Big Ten's push for automatic qualifiers, and examines why these meetings keep happening without real progress.Ralph explains the power dynamics between Tony Petitti and Greg Sankey, why ESPN might not want playoff expansion, and how Brett Yormark is trying to wedge the SEC away from the Big Ten. Plus, the "reimagined" conference championship weekend, whether a breakaway league is possible, and why this feels like college football's most charged moment since the BCS era.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction05:02 - The SEC Decision Tree16:19 - Power dynamics: Who's really running these meetings?27:26 - The Unpopularity of SEC & Big Ten Power36:35 - Reporting challenges and ESPN's actual role vs. perception42:08 - The future of playoff expansion and what's next51:19 - Outro and preview season setup_____A fan of our college football podcast?

This morning, the Pac-12 officially announced a historic partnership with CBS Sports — marking a bold new chapter for a conference on the rise. And today on Y-Option, presented by our founding partner 76, we welcomed back Commissioner Teresa Gould for her first full-length conversation since the deal was made public.Make no mistake — this is a monumental move. Starting July 1, 2026, when the new league officially launches, CBS becomes the anchor partner of the new-look Pac-12. That means college football and basketball — including the conference title games — will air across CBS, Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network, joining the same lineup that once featured the SEC and now hosts Big Ten games. And soon, the Pac-12.“This wasn't just about a TV deal,” Commissioner Gould told me. “It was about exposure, economics, and transformation — and CBS checks all three boxes.”Inside the CBS Deal:From our exclusive conversation, here's what stood out:✅ Broadcast + Cable CoverageCBS will carry premier Pac-12 football and men's basketball matchups, alongside CBS Sports Network for expanded programming. The conference championship games will be aired nationally.✅ Strategic AlignmentThe Pac-12's media rights journey didn't just attract interest — it created competition. CBS was among the first to reach out after the conference announced its reformation, and ultimately, their values and vision aligned.✅ The Power of ProductionThe decision to retain Pac-12 Enterprises was key. “Our ability to produce content efficiently and at a high level was a major asset,” said Gould. Expect the Pac-12's in-house production capabilities, led by Senior Vice President of Business Development and Studio Operations Michael Molinari, to power even more content — from live games to NIL opportunities for athletes.“We're Building an Unconference Conference.”Commissioner Gould called it a “blank slate” — a chance to build something new without the constraints of legacy deals or outdated models.And she's doing just that.From the media rights rollout to adding new member schools, the strategy has been deliberate. This phased approach is redefining how a conference is built. With CBS now officially locked in, the next move? Finalizing an 8th football member by 2026 to fulfill FBS requirements and to bring the new league to nine schools overall.“There's no playbook for this,” Commissioner Gould told me. “We're not just rebuilding. We're reimagining.”More from Our Conversation:

The Illinois head coach was on Pardon My Take last week and was asked about the Iowa job---his alma mater---and told the guys that he has a non-compete with every school in the B1G. He said, “I know everyone thinks I want to go to Iowa. I don't want to go to Iowa.” He pointed out he spent 5 good years there but apparently has no interest in the job. How does that make a Hawkeye fan feel about someone who attended there? Show Sponsored by MIDWEST BANKOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Tim May joined Baskin and Phelps to share the latest news in college sports, the changes in NIL and conference realignments, and how it will impact Ohio State sports. He explained why he doesn't believe in an alliance between the SEC and the Big 10, and he shared his experience from last week's US Open at Oakmont Country Club.

Hr 2 - VolQuest’s Brent Hubbs + SEC vs. Big Ten realignment See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you ever wanted to experience a show symbolic of the new NIL era, you've come to the right place. Show prep included getting ready for two commitments. By the time Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter graced today's BM5 ... things had changed? Or did they? Or did they change and then now could change again? We think Glenville linebacker Cincere Johnson will commit to Ohio State today at noon. We thought New Jersey defensive end Luke Wafle would follow suit about two hours later. 'Thought' is the operative word in the prior sentence. A certain West Coast school that plays B1G football has thrown a really expensive monkey wrench into the situation. It's a hang on kinda day on the Ohio State recruiting front. We also dove deep on the cavalcade of elite quarterbacks that have camped at Ohio State this month, perhaps the most impressive crew in total the Buckeyes have ever had.  Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

@JeffreyTheGreek is joined by his ol' buddy @B1GKurt. First, we have some fun with our SEC neighbors down south...but maybe not as much fun as Bret Bielema is having?! Speaking of Beatle, it's onto his squad as Kurt gives us the details on the Illini and the HUGE opportunity this year for Illinois Football Program. Take a Listen! #AskForAmador

Pavia was on “Bussin' With the Boys” this week and was asked if any B1G schools had reached out to him about transferring, and he said, “You want to play with the best; you don't want to play with the Big Ten. You ignore those calls.” Now, he does know that both hosts (Will Compton and Taylor Lewan) are both B1G alums, so it was probably a jab at them---which they could have responded back that the B1G has won the last 2 national championships.  Show Sponsored by MIDWEST BANKOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
