Today, I'm excited to speak with Justin Papadakis, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Real Estate Officer at the United Soccer League (USL). Justin joined the USL in 2014 and has held various roles including President of Commercial Ventures and Chief Operating Officer and has led its expansion efforts across the USL Championship, League One, and Super League, and most recently, the announcement of USL's plans to launch a Division One men's professional league in 2027-2028. Prior to the USL, Justin served as leasing director, and later business development director, at DDR Corp, now called SITE Centers. While earning his dual degree in Public Policy and Economics at Duke University, Justin also played four seasons for the Blue Devils' Men's Soccer program. He has been recognized on America's Power List and Florida Trend's Florida 500, a list of 500 most influential business leaders in Florida. With Justin's help we delve into the world of soccer. He describes how the sport – and the business of soccer – has evolved in recent years and points out what sets soccer apart from other major sports. He also paints a picture for our audience of the soccer landscape today and how the USL fits in that landscape. We then take a look at soccer as an asset class in the broader category of sports and entertainment investment properties. Justin provides an educational overview of the unique investment attributes of soccer and soccer teams, highlighting how they are distinct from other major-league sports and what makes soccer franchises particularly attractive right now. Justin talks about the purpose and the mission of the United Soccer League (or USL) and explains how his organization helps UHNW clients and their family offices invest in and operate soccer franchises. Finally, he shares some practical considerations and risks family offices need to consider when they contemplate investing in sports in general and in soccer in particular. He offers valuable tips on how families and family offices should educate themselves and what resources exist for them to lean on in this growing and specialized segment of sports investing. Don't miss this educational conversation with a leading expert and experienced practitioner in sports franchise investing and operations.

It’s official! The 12-0 Indiana Hoosiers team (football, not basketball) crushed nearly every opponent and have earned the final #1 ranking for the 2025 college football season. Other college football rating services made 12-0 Ohio State as their #1. That’s quite understandable. The Buckeyes are the defending national champions and have enjoyed another terrific season. However, the Buckeyes finished in second place in the SwampSwamiSports.com College Football Top 25 rankings for the 2025 regular season. My ranking system gave the edge to Indiana by virtue of the Hoosiers’ 30-20 road victory at 11-1 Oregon. By contrast, the Buckeyes’ toughest win of the season came last Saturday in Ohio State’s methodical 27-9 beatdown of 9-3 Michigan. The Big Ten has morphed into “The Big 18” teams. That meant that Indiana and Ohio State will face a different set of conference opponents every season. Indiana handed Oregon its only loss of the season. That’s why the Hoosiers are my #1 team as the regular season ends. Indiana and Ohio State are now the final two unbeaten FBS teams after 9-3 Texas handed Texas A&M its first loss of the season Friday night in Austin by a 27-17 final score. The Indiana Hoosiers will enjoy some unexpected home cooking this Saturday as they face the Buckeyes in the Big Ten championship game at 7PM (CST) on FOX. Saturday’s game will be played (as always) at the home field of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. By this time next week, the FBS will have just one team with a perfect record heading into the College Football Playoffs. Congratulations to Indiana for being my top rated team in 2025! Why are 10-2 Alabama and 11-1 Georgia playing in the SEC Championship game instead of 11-1 Texas A&M or 11-1 Ole Miss? All four teams were 7-1 in SEC competition this season, but only two can play in Saturday’s SEC title game (3PM on ABC). Here are the SEC tiebreaker rules: A. Head-to-head competition among the tied teams. Alabama – won at Georgia 24-21 in late September. Bama did not play either Texas A&M or Ole Miss this season. Bama gets the nod over Georgia in a tiebreaker. Georgia – lost to Alabama 24-21. The Bulldogs beat Ole Miss 43-35. That win gives Georgia the advantage over Ole Miss. The Bulldogs did not play Texas A&M this season. Texas A&M – did not play Alabama, Georgia, or Ole Miss this year (odd, isn’t it?) Ole Miss – lost at Georgia (43-35) and did not play against Alabama or Texas A&M this season. In this first scenario, Alabama would eliminate Georgia (based on a head-to-head win) and Georgia would eliminate Ole Miss (another head-to-head win). Texas A&M (which didn’t play any of the other three SEC teams with a 7-1 conference record this year) would still be “alive” at this point. B. Record against all common opponents among the tied teams. In the second tiebreaker scenario, Georgia beat Texas (35-10). Texas A&M then lost to Texas 27-17 last Friday. Georgia’s win over Texas was enough to eliminate Texas A&M. How did 7-5 Duke make it into the ACC Championship game this Saturday? This year’s Atlantic Coast Conference football race was dominated early in the season by Georgia Tech and surprising Virginia. The Yellow Jackets started 8-0 but faded by losing three of its final four games. The Virginia Cavaliers finished as the ACC’s #1 team by virtue of a 7-1 conference mark and a 10-2 overall record. This Saturday night at 7PM, the ACC Championship game features Virginia playing…7-5 Duke? Duke benefited from a weak conference schedule. The Blue Devils’ six ACC wins came over teams with losing conference records. Duke was part of a massive five-way traffic jam for second place in the ACC at 6-2. They were tied with 10-2 Miami (FL), 9-3 Georgia Tech, 8-4 SMU, and 8-4 Wake Forest. Somehow (I won’t try to explain this one), Duke won tiebreakers over Miami, G-Tech, SMU, and Wake Forest to emerge as the second place team. A win by Duke over Virginia on Saturday night would hand the ACC crown to the Blue Devils. However, an 8-5 Blue Devils team would not receive an automatic invitation into the College Football Playoffs. Other conference champions (such as the American or Sun Belt) could receive that slot in the playoff by virtue of having better season records. So, why do the Power Four Conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC) bother playing these conference championship games now? Television money, of course! This weekend’s reduced college football slate brings more TV eyeballs to the rather finite number of televised games. That’s a bonanza for the networks (ABC/ESPN and FOX). Their sales staff is busy selling prime advertising slots to a male-dominated audience of shoppers during the crucial Christmas merchandising season. Believe it or not, the SEC is paid about $470 million for its entire slate of games televised by ABC and ESPN for this season. That doesn’t count extra money from the College Football Playoffs. The “Bank of SEC” takes in about $31 million per week over a 15-week season (12 regular season games over a 14-week span plus this weekend’s championship game). An incremental $31 million payday for this weekend’s SEC Championship game is why we are being forced to wait another week prior to the beginning of the College Football Playoffs. A special consolation note to U-Mass Minuteman football fans The University of Massachusetts (U-Mass) joined the Mid-American Conference beginning July 1, 2025. After November 29, 2025’s final weekend of college football games, U-Mass is still searching for its first Mid-American Conference football victory. They didn’t win a single game this season! The Minutemen even lost (at home) to FCS member Bryant University 27-26 in September. U-Mass lost its home finale on Saturday to 4-8 Bowling Green 45-14 as the only FBS team in America to finish 0-12. First-year coach Joe Harasmyiak said after the team’s final loss, “The record is the record. It’s crappy. It’s not acceptable.” Indeed! There’s only one way to go next season, right?!!! Hey, Swami! Aren’t you going to discuss the Lane Kiffin situation today? Come back on Tuesday for that. Here’s a teaser to think about today. Why did Tulane and North Texas allow their current coaches (who are leaving for Florida and Oklahoma State respectively) to keep leading their current teams until season’s end, but the Ole Miss Athletic Director did not? Let’s reveal the FINAL SwampSwamiSports.com FBS College Football Top 25 rankings for the week ending November 29, 2025: The post Indiana Hoosiers Earn SwampSwami’s 2025 Top Spot! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Powerplay - der Eishockey-Podcast rund um die Blue Devils Weiden
Sportlich läuft es derzeit bei den Blue Devils. Das Team von Trainer Sebastian Buchwieser hat am vergangenen Wochenende sechs Punkte eingefahren – auch dank eines Siegs in Krefeld gegen die hochfavorisierten Pinguine. Wir sprechen mit Conner McLeod, dem jungen dritten Torhüter der Blue Devils, über seine Rolle im Team, seine Zukunftspläne und darüber, wie er diese Spiele erlebt hat. Außerdem thematisieren wir die jüngst abgehaltene Jahreshauptversammlung des EV Weiden, des Stammvereins der Blue Devils.
The NCAA Division I FCS (smaller college) football teams have just one week remaining in the regular season. This Sunday at 11AM CST, the FCS Playoff Committee will announce the 24 teams which will participate in this year’s playoffs beginning on Friday, November 28. There are three FCS teams which have already locked-up a place in the playoff field by virtue of clinching their conference races last weekend. The remaining 21 places in the field will be determined after this Saturday’s games conclude. Three down and 21 more to go! Congratulations to North Dakota State, Mercer, and Stephen F. Austin for securing the first three invitations to late November’s FCS playoffs. Defending FCS champion North Dakota State is now 11-0 and has a two-game lead in the Big Sky Conference with only one game remaining. Bison head coach Tim Polasek is likely hearing overtures from some of the 11 major colleges seeking a new football coach. Can Coach Polasek and his very talented herd of Bison remain focused, run the table, and close out a perfect season with yet another FCS title? The red-hot 9-1 Mercer Bears of the Southern Conference own a two-game lead over their closest competitor, Western Carolina. Mercer clobbered UT-Chattanooga 63-17 Saturday to wrap-up a spot in the FCS playoffs for the third straight season. The Mercer Bears from Macon, Georgia have won nine games in a row and have tallied 38 or more points in their last eight contests. The coachless Auburn Tigers of the SEC will try to end the Bears’ winning streak this Saturday (1PM on the SEC+ Network) at Jordan-Hare Stadium in eastern Alabama. Surprising Stephen F. Austin disposed of Texas rival Lamar University 26-15 Saturday night to claim its first Southland Conference football title since 2010. The Lumberjacks have sawed through nine straight opponents to move to 9-2 and grab their spot in the upcoming FCS playoffs. SFA finishes on the road Thursday night (6:30PM on ESPN+) to play the struggling 1-10 Northwestern State Demons with the rivalry’s 7-foot wooden trophy called “The Chief” going home with the victor. Let’s review some of the “Win and you’re in” games coming on Saturday Coastal Athletic Association – The 9-2 Rhode Island Rams have never won the regular season title in the CAA. They have a chance to finish with a perfect 8-0 conference record at home this Saturday (11AM CST on ESPN+) with a victory over the struggling 2-9 Hampton Pirates. A win gives the Rams a ticket into the FCS playoffs. An upset loss by Rhode Island would open the door for 9-2 Monmouth and/or 8-2 Villanova to become involved in a complicated tiebreaker to determine the CAA champion. Ivy League – It’s hard to believe, but this is the first season in which the Ivy League champion will be participating in the FCS playoffs. Historically, the Ivy League wanted its student/athletes to concentrate on academics (gasp!) as final exams occur during the FCS playoff season. Boston’s famed Fenway Park baseball stadium will host “The Game” this Saturday (11AM CST on ESPNU) between 9-0 Harvard and 7-2 Yale. This annual football contest was first played in 1875. Saturday’s winner also claims the Ivy League’s first guaranteed spot in the FCS playoffs. Pressure, anyone? Northeast Conference – The Central Connecticut State Blue Devils are 7-4 coming off Saturday’s 38-33 loss to Duquesne in Pittsburgh. The Blue Devils are 5-1 in conference action and control their chances to reach the FCS playoffs for the first time since 2019. A home win on Saturday (11AM CST on ESPN+) against the 5-6 Mercyhurst Lakers will give the NEC title to Central Connecticut. If the Blue Devils lose, a tiebreaker may be needed with Duquesne. Ohio Valley/Big South Alliance – Tennessee Tech’s perfect 10-0 start ended last Saturday after the fast-improving SEC Kentucky Wildcats prevailed 42-10 in Lexington. The Golden Eagles return home to Cookeville on Saturday to face rival UT-Martin (6-5 overall but 6-1 in conference). Saturday’s winner receives an automatic bid into the FCS playoffs. The game also marks Tennessee Tech’s final Ohio Valley Conference football game as the Golden Eagles fly into the Southern Conference next season in 2026. Patriot League – This weekend of big games wouldn’t be complete without the annual game pitting Lehigh (11-0) against Lafayette (8-3). The game called “the Rivalry” has been played since 1884. This year’s “Rivalry #161” takes place on Saturday at 11:30 AM CST (on ESPN+) in Easton, Pennsylvania. Lafayette’s Leopards are at home and will try to ruin the season for the unbeaten Mountain Hawks from nearby Bethlehem. The winner takes home the Patriot League title and its automatic bid into the FCS playoffs. Pioneer Football League – The 7-3 Drake Bulldogs have surrendered only 10 points per game over its last seven games. They are playing exceptional defense! Drake controls its own fate to receive an automatic FCS playoff bid if the Bulldogs are able to take down Morehead State (6-5 overall and 4-3 in conference) on Saturday at 12Noon CST (ESPN+). Presbyterian College is 9-2 and still has a chance to take the top spot if (a) Drake loses and (b) the Blue Hose de-“feet” (ha ha!) Marist (5-6) on Saturday. United Athletic Conference – Abilene Christian’s upset of formerly unbeaten Tarleton State a few weeks ago has provided the Wildcats a one-game lead in the UAC. A win this Saturday by Abilene Christian (now 7-4) at Central Arkansas (3-8) would give ACU the UAC automatic playoff bid. If da’ Bears are able to spring an upset in Conway, Arkansas, Tarleton State (currently 10-1) would win the league title with a home victory over 7-4 Austin Peay. The MEAC and SWAC have their own title on the line in December Winners of two FCS conferences featuring historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) will face-off in Atlanta on December 13 for the annual Celebration Bowl. The victor in this Saturday’s MEAC final regular season game between 8-3 South Carolina State at 8-3 Delaware State will receive an invitation to Atlanta to play in the Celebration Bowl. The SWAC holds its title game between the East Division winner vs. Prairie View A&M (the newly-crowned West Division champ) on Saturday, December 6. That winner receives the other invitation to play in December’s Celebration Bowl. Alabama State’s Hornets (Montgomery, AL) and Jackson State’s Tigers share the SWAC’s East Division lead. Both teams have identical 8-2 overall and 6-1 conference records. Jackson State defeated Alabama State 38-34 earlier this season and may prevail in a tiebreaker.

Powerplay - der Eishockey-Podcast rund um die Blue Devils Weiden
Mit einer Woche Verspätung: Hier ist sie endlich – die 100. Folge des Powerplay-Podcasts! Zur Jubiläumsausgabe haben sich Fabian Leeb und Max Schlötter einen echten Dauergast ins Studio geholt: Jürgen Rumrich, Sportlicher Leiter der Blue Devils Weiden, ist zum achten Mal dabei – Rekord!

Episode ist der Powerplay-Podcast erstmals auch als Video verfügbar!
The Texas Longhorns men's and women's basketball teams both tipped off the 2025-26 seasons over the weekend, with positive showings from both squads. While the men split the weekend 1-1, Texas led after one half against a Duke team that will likely play for a national championship. The Blue Devils got hot late and put away Texas, but the Longhorns reobunded quickly and got a big ranked win.The ladies picked up right where they left off last year, with three dominant wins to open the season and put the world on notice. Can Texas really compete for a spot in the national championship game and avenge last season's struggles?
After watching several weeks of unusual and unexpected finishes in ACC football who would have imagined Duke having a shot at the ACC Championship Game? That's right folks, the Blue Devils could be in line for a trip to Charlotte but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves just yet. The conference standings have Georgia Tech, Virginia, SMU, Pitt and Duke lined up with one loss thus far. Duke still has 3 games to go, Virginia, North Carolina and Wake Forest. Winning out would put the Blue Devils in a solid position to get a nod. Special guest, Conor O'Neill, the Publisher of Devils Illustrated and Deacons Illustrated joins Will and Jim on ACC Nation to talk about football and also to delve into this years crop of top-tier players in basketball. There's an enormous amount of behind the scenes info that helps fill in the blanks when looking at both programs. If you're a fan of Duke or Wake Forest we encourage you to subscribe to his sites because you'll get far more detail and updates than you'd expect, it's worth the investment. Duke O'Neill gets into the why's and what for's of the football program and the direction in which it's headed. Plenty of encouraging forward vision going on with Manny Diaz. When it comes to Jon Scheyer, you'll find a similar story as the coach moves the team into a new day in ways you may not have thought about.

Jaquez Moore, 5th year Duke football running back, joins this week's episode of Not Even D2. The veteran RB has seen the Duke football program revamp the program into an ACC contender, and has had a great career with over 1,200 rushing yards. Moore is from Live Oak, Florida where he played four seasons of high school football at Suwannee. The three star player originally committed to Georgia Southern before decommitting and later committing to Duke University. We get into everything surrounding the Duke football program. During his career, Duke has had 3 head coaches, but that hasn't reflected in their consistency. The Blue Devils are on track to have 4 straight winning seasons after the team finished 3-9 during Moore's freshman year. Moore was coming off of back to back seasons averaging over 5 yards per carry before he was sidelined with an ankle injury during the 2024 season. Currently ranked 34th all-time on the Duke rushing yards list, the 5th year has the opportunity to continue climbing that list with 5 games left in his final year. The hope for Jaquez is to make an NFL roster concluding this year, so the rest of the season is crucial for him and the Duke program that is currently 4-3. Hear about his college career playing under three different head coaches, what makes the 2025 RB room different, how the Duke basketball program impacts the football program, and more.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk college football betting for Week 2. The Week 2 preview of the College Football Podcast on RJ Bell's Pregame network opened with energy, emphasizing fast offense, swarming defense, and relentless hustle. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith immediately addressed Week 1 results, acknowledging that it wasn't the strongest start but pointing to process over outcome. They stressed closing line value as a long-term indicator, comparing it to stock market performance, and noted that Week 1 was dominated by unders, with many offenses struggling to find rhythm. Quarterback uncertainty remained the headline, with Arch Manning's rocky debut sparking debate. Warner went as far as to call him potentially the most overrated quarterback of all time, while Smith defended him by pointing out the caliber of Ohio State's elite defense. The discussion then shifted to broader conference takeaways. The ACC impressed in Week 1, particularly Florida State's big win, while Clemson's struggles stood out. Cal's freshman quarterback also earned praise for a breakout performance. The panel agreed that the top of the ACC looks strong with Florida State, Clemson, Duke, and Georgia Tech, while the bottom remains unsettled. From there, the show broke down marquee Week 2 matchups. SMU versus Baylor set the stage, with Baylor's defensive front and ability to stop explosive plays highlighted as key factors. Despite SMU entering as a small favorite, Smith leaned Baylor's way, questioning whether SMU had shown enough balance to justify the line. Next, the heated Iowa–Iowa State rivalry came into focus. The history of low-scoring slugfests made the under 41.5 an attractive play. Smith backed Iowa State's improved offense under Rocco Beck but insisted the real value lay in expecting another defensive battle. Illinois against Duke was another spotlight game. Both teams leaned on defense, but Duke's elite secondary and Manny Diaz's blitz-heavy schemes tilted the panel's confidence toward the Blue Devils. Warner emphasized that road favorites early in the season are often overvalued, making Duke's home underdog status particularly appealing. The nightcap, Michigan versus Oklahoma, focused on defensive dominance. Brent Venables' track record of confusing quarterbacks and Michigan's conservative freshman game plan pointed to another under. Smith's best angle was the first-half under 23.5, predicting a slow start with heavy ground games, limited big plays, and quarterbacks trying to settle in against relentless defenses. The show wrapped with best bets. Smith locked in Florida minus 17.5 against South Florida, pointing to mismatches in the trenches, Lagway's deep-ball ability, and Florida's familiarity with the spread concepts USF runs. Warner sided with the Iowa–Iowa State under 41.5, banking on punts, field position battles, and Kirk Ferentz's trademark conservative approach. Overall, the podcast captured the essence of early-season handicapping: balancing small-sample overreactions with long-term process discipline. Week 1 brought surprises, quarterback drama, and defensive dominance, but Week 2 promised opportunities with sharp numbers, classic rivalries, and critical matchups that could shape conference races. Whether it was Florida's talent edge, Duke's defensive identity, or the under trend in rivalry games, the conversation blended data, betting insight, and storytelling, giving listeners a comprehensive game plan heading into Saturday.

Subscribe today for access to our full catalog of bonus episodes, including 2+ new episodes every month! www.patreon.com/boysbiblestudy We kick off football season with a review of a new film by prolific Christian director Jason Campbell. WE BELIEVE, which even features a cameo by former Superman actor Dean Cain, takes an impressionistic look at a real high school football community in St. Mary's, West Virginia, centering on the inspirational story of coach Jodi Mote. Grounded in fact, the film makes odd leaps into seemingly fictional storylines about St. Mary's students, an attempt to introduce conflict while staying inoffensive to the community. That tension becomes the film's biggest weakness. WE BELIEVE was cowritten by Campbell, Jodi Mote, and his wife Brandy, so the Motes clearly have a personal stake in telling the story of Jodi's sudden stroke, which left him unable to coach the St. Mary's Blue Devils during a crucial season. He was temporarily replaced by Bill Hanlin, a local legend remembered for coaching an undefeated season in 1963. The film's action drifts between Mote's recovery (as his team and special ed students miss him), Hanlin instilling Christian values in the Blue Devils, and contrived side plots: a Danish freshman exchange student turned field-goal kicker, and a troubled teen named Trey whose broken home pushes him into drinking and sexual temptation. The Danish subplot is especially bizarre, since actor Addison Dattilo, tattooed and visibly closer to 28 than 14, plays the role with the vibe of a California surfer instead of a homesick exchange student. In general, it is disappointing that the only conflicts (underage drinking, divorce, high school politics) are fictionalized; meanwhile the true story is flattened. The film would be far more compelling if it explored Mote's actual challenges. What did loneliness and frustration feel like for a devout Christian man whose body had failed him? To admit weakness, however, would cut against the film's purpose: flattering its collaborators.
