    Conduct Detrimental: The Sports Law Podcast
    Big Ten's Private Equity Debate, Tyler Skaggs Trial Begins, Mark Sanchez, James Franklin Buyout, and Mammoth Hockey Injunction

    On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is joined by Tarun Sharma (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tksharmalaw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) to tackle some of the biggest stories in college sports, professional, and broadcasting.The duo kicks off with the Big Ten's proposed $2.4 billion private equity deal with UC Investments. They break down how the deal would work, why Michigan and USC's boards are unanimously opposed, and whether locking in media rights through 2046 is dangerously short-sighted given how dramatically college sports has evolved over the past decade.Next, they dive into the Tyler Skaggs wrongful death trial that just began in California. The Angels face $118 million in damages as the family argues negligent retention after communications director Eric Kay—who was convicted of supplying the drugs that killed Skaggs—was kept on staff despite red flags. Could this set precedent for team liability across all professional sports?The guys then unpack Mark Sanchez's wild situation from the past couple of weeks: from Fox Sports analyst to felony assault charges after a 3 a.m. alley altercation in Indianapolis. They discuss the bizarre details, the destroyed broadcasting career, and whether there's any path back for the former quarterback.Dan and Tarun also react to James Franklin's $49 million Penn State buyout after the team collapsed from 3-0 to 3-3, debate whether Matt Rule is really a viable replacement, and discuss the mitigation clause that could reduce the payout. Plus, they touch on Bill Belichick's brutal start at UNC and whether his contract protections will even matter if the losses continue.Finally, they explore the Utah Mammoth trademark battle with Mammoth Hockey Bags, comparing it to the Cleveland Guardians roller derby saga and discussing the SEO argument happening in real time.What to Watch For: Dan highly recommends Amazon Prime's "Evolution of the Black Quarterback" documentary featuring Michael Vick, and shares fascinating stories about Doug Williams, Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, and how the position slowly integrated. Tarun suggests Netflix's "Katrina: Hell and High Water" for those interested and who may know about Katrina, but not the aftermath.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

    In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods try to make sense of the unprecedented fall from grace for the Penn State Nittany Lions, who three weeks ago was a play away from taking down Oregon to now firing head coach James Franklin after inexplicable losses to UCLA and Northwestern. The guys give their takes on the regime change and discuss where PSU goes from here. From week seven the Big Ten had some exciting games including Indiana smashing Oregon in Eugene, USC outmuscling Michigan, Ohio State throttling Illinois and UCLA smoking Michigan State. Looking ahead to week eight the last scheduled USC vs. Notre Dame game is in South Bend, Washington travels to Michigan and Penn State will try to get right at Iowa. The guys also welcome in special guest Chris Gorham, starring in CBS's new drama "Sheriff Country" (and a huge UCLA fan).

    Week 8 is here, and with just over half of the season gone, there is already a matchup with playoff implications on the line. #13 Notre Dame plays host to #20 USC for another chapter of this storied rivalry. With Notre Dame already having two losses, a third loss would all but eliminate them from playoff contention. USC has a tough stretch of Big Ten games to end the season, so a loss to Notre Dame would make their playoff chances even less-likely. Ross Dellenger returns to join Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey to discuss this matchup and who they think will come out victorious.Later, there are multiple Top 25 matchups in the SEC on Saturday. You will get to watch them all back-to-back-to-back starting at noon eastern with #10 LSU visiting #17 Vanderbilt. #5 Ole Miss at #9 Georgia is the game that follows, and the night finishes up with #11 Tennessee visiting #6 Alabama. Can Ole Miss take down Georgia again? Can Diego Pavia keep Vandy on a playoff track? Is Alabama poised to win the SEC? The guys discuss all of these topics and more as they preview each matchup.Finally, the guys make their picks in I've Got A Feeling. Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Hawai'i are the picks for this week. Plus, they take a quick look at some other games on Saturday. The Holy War, #23 Utah at #15 BYU, and Washington at Michigan. All of this and more to get you ready for Week 8 on College Football Enquirer.(1:32) - USC & Notre Dame playoff hopes on the line(23:53) - #5 Ole Miss at #9 Georgia preview(35:15) - #10 LSU at #17 Vanderbilt preview(42:46) - #11 Tennessee at #6 Alabama preview(49:10) - I've Got A Feeling(53:05) - Holy War preview: #23 Utah at #15 BYU(56:00) - Kansas & Texas Tech pocket knife drama(59:15) - Washington at Michigan preview Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

    - We still have a lot to talk about when it comes to last night's Game 3. The Mariners crowd showed out and Julio got them all fired up right away, but by the 3rd inning, things shifted dramatically and Toronto rattled off 12 runs in a row. Did the Mariners make the right decision to keep Kirby in and moving forward, what's the plan? :30- ABCs of the Mariners - D id for Dingers: all dingers have a different value to them; what value could we potentially place on Randy Arozarena's late home run? It was his first in 107 at-bats, could it be just what he needs to get heated up? - E is for Ewok: Vlad Jr is the most intimidating presence in the Blue Jays lineup, but that Ewok behind the plate (Alejandro Kirk) is worrisome as well. - F is for Fresh: is there a chance that a couple weeks off were actually good for Woo and he comes out fresher than before? :45- Jedd Fisch has a big game ahead of him on Saturday; can the Huskies pull off the upset in Ann Arbor? Just how big would this win be and could the Huskies enter the playoff conversation if they beat Michigan? Jedd Fisch rumors are already flying… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The UCLA ban is still lifted because the Bruins are hot. So, too, is that other B1G school in Los Angeles who also got right against another Michigan school over the weekend. Vibes are high; Hartzell is back from a three-day getaway to the mountains, Wayne's Bruins are winning, and hard to believe it but we're already past the midway point of the regular season. What did the guys think of Indiana's gutsy win in Eugene? And should James Franklin send UCLA a Christmas card for helping send him on his way with $50 mil in the bank a little sooner than expected? Phil Steele joins the show for nearly forty (!) minutes of discussion on the week 8 card, including every game in the top-25. Midweek edition of CSN is right here, right now just like your favorite Fatboy Slim song.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    It's humpday AND game day as the Mariners and Blue Jays face off in Game 3 of the ALCS and the Mariners have a job to do. With a 2-0 series lead, many people may think this series is over, but the team knows they have a job to do and there's a lot off pressure on these guys as they carry the entire history of the franchise and the hopes of the city on their backs. The one question on everyone's minds: will Toronto fans be able to take over the stadium like they do in the regular season? :30- ABCs of the Mariners - A is for Available: The Mariners have many more weapons available to them to face Toronto in the ALCS than they did the first two times these teams met up. - B is for Bieber: Shane Bieber has been an addition to the Blue Jays since we last played them and he's still got good stuff. - C is for Cal-O-Ween: Ashley carved Dumpkin #2 for the ALCS and we have now realized, there's a method to the madness. :45- The Huskies head to Michigan to face the Wolverines on Saturday at 6am and they have a tough test ahead of them.

    Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return to the podcast medium to break down USC's massive win over then No. 15 Michigan at home in the Coliseum, giving Lincoln Riley his first signature win in the Big Ten era.  Shotgun spends his 'Two-Minute Drill' talking about the impressive performance by USC's offensive line, which continues to play well even without two season opening starters. Chris uses his time to talk about the electric atmosphere in the Coliseum and praise Trojan fans for their impact on the game. They then dive into Stock Up, Stock Down, which include the defensive front, Lincoln Riley, kicker Ryon Sayeri and more. The duo also discusses injuries to the running back room and the play of walk-on running back King Miller, who finished with 158 yards and a touchdown, and the dramatic second-half appearance from Bryan Jackson.  USC's top running backs Waymond Jordan Jr. and Eli Sanders were both carted off the field in the first half with injuries, leaving USC with zero healthy scholarship tailbacks. Sanders will miss the rest of the season while Jordan Jr. will be out four-to-six weeks with ankle surgery.  The Helium Boys dive into the second half of the show to preview USC's big road rivalry matchup with No. 13 Notre Dame. This could be the final game in the rivalry for the near future as the two teams do not have a deal to play in place beyond 2025. USC sent an amended offer late this summer toward a multi-year extension, which is more in line what the Fighting Irish wanted, but there has been no acceptance.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

    Happy Valley is not so happy as of late. Preseason expectations of a deep CFP seem to be of a distant past after the firing of James Franklin on Sunday. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey dive into how Penn State fell so fast and what led to the firing of a head coach whose team was ranked #3 just three weeks ago. Then the guys look at who Penn State should look to hire to be their new head coach. Should they try to poach big names like Alabama's Kalen DeBoer or Nebraska's Matt Rhule, or should they look at one of the hot new names like Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein or Syracuse head coach Fran Brown? The guys discuss what options are on the table.Later, there are more hurdles to now jump over for the Big Ten's attempt to get a private equity deal done. In Ross Dellenger's latest article, he explains why USC is now against signing a private equity deal. Ross is out today, but Andy and Godfrey break down what all is going on and if the Big Ten will, or even should, ever get a private equity deal done. Finally, the guys discuss a few notable topics from what we've been seeing on the field. First, they dive into the massive success, thus far, of Texas Tech. After an expensive offseason, it seems that all of the NIL investment is paying off. The Red Raiders are ranked seventh in the country and are currently undefeated going into Week 8. Andy and Godfrey discuss if they will face any hurdles in the Big 12, or if Texas Tech is going to run away with the conference. Then, they keep up the CFP talk but shift to a conference that will be fighting for a bid. The American Conference has been impressive this year, and the guys are convinced the winner of this conference will head to the CFP, but the question is who will that be? Four teams sit at the top with undefeated conference records currently. Navy, #22 Memphis, #19 USF and Tulane. Who will come away with the title and probably CFP berth?All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.(1:28) - What led to James Franklin's firing?(9:52) - Who should Penn State look to hire?(29:19) - The Big Ten's latest private equity issue in Southern California(44:43) - Texas Tech's Big 12 dominance(51:53) - The American Conference to the CFP?

    Mid-October feels like a mirror. Half the season gone, and suddenly every program is staring back at itself asking: Who are we, really? This week on Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor, 76® - keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, Jim Thornby and I sat down to take stock of a college football season spinning faster than ever — coaches out, CFP contenders adjust week to week , and patience from fan bases are on life support.What we found wasn't just about wins and losses. It was about identity, timing, and the impossible math of modern college football: boosters, buyouts, and the transfer portal colliding into a single decision point.The Coaching Carousel Spins AgainThree jobs gone in a single weekend — Penn State, Oregon State, UAB — bringing the national total to eight. Each one for a different reason, but all part of a similar pattern.* Penn State went from preseason No. 2 to unemployed head coach in three weeks.* Buyouts north of $50 million are now normalized, which means emotions move faster than logic.* As Jim said, “If you're going to get rid of Coach A, you better have a damn good Coach B coming in next year.”The bigger question: do buyouts start to disappear? As the Playoff expands and the calendar stretches, schools may no longer afford impatience. Or will they only grow?Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Oregon State's Tough ResetTrent Bray's exit hurts because it was homegrown. He played there, grew as a coordinator there and loved being the Beavers Head Coach more than anything. Watching head coaches get dismissed from their alma mater is simply brutal.* Why is it an attractive job? Because the Beavs next head coach inherits a program with a playoff path in the new Pac-12 structure. We dive into that and more.* Corvallis has the resources and loyalty to rise again — if they get the hire right.I said it on the pod: sometimes the game moves faster than your rebuild. But when a team loses hope, change follows.The Human Cost We Don't SeeWhen a coach is fired, the headline reads “$50 million buyout.” But the story from this lens is about the 300 people whose lives change by Monday morning.* The $17K QC coach.* The $45K assistant with a newborn.* The family wondering about health insurance in February.* The 4th grader who has to walk into school knowing EVERYONE knows his Dad just got fired, and likely boo'd the previous weekend.So to every player on a team in transition: you'll remember this season forever. Compete. Connect. Choose uncommon effort over easy excuses.Teams That Define the Moment* Indiana: Stunned Oregon in Autzen with six sacks and a line-of-scrimmage win few saw coming. A top-3 résumé right now.* USC: Looked like a Big Ten team vs. Michigan — 224 rush yards, physicality, command. If they win at Notre Dame, Jayden Maiava's in the Heisman conversation.The West Coast Snapshot* Washington is quietly dominant again with Demond Williams Jr. Too quiet in my eyes.* Arizona has made big strides this season and were a snap away from a huge upset over BYU.* UCLA, under interim Tim Skipper, looks reborn.* And Stanford's new $50M donation just made their future way more interesting than their record. And their head coaching vacancy more attractive.Some Conversation Starters * The expanded playoff will test how fast schools act — and overreact.* Buyouts will shrink. They have to.* The West is rising again — maybe not in one conference, but through identity, talent, and physicality.It's the season's halfway point, but the sport's heartbeat is racing. And each Saturday, ours is too.As always, much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.
