In this episode, Casey sits down with Chris Crittenden, entrepreneur, educator, and co-founder of Sandbox, for a conversation on courage, innovation, and rethinking what education should be. From selling a startup to Walmart to leading at BYU and now building Sandbox into a movement across multiple universities, Chris shares why closing doors and going deep often leads to the greatest returns.He and Casey explore the flaws of traditional higher education, the trap of chasing prestige, and the power of learning by doing. Chris outlines how Sandbox is equipping students to launch real companies while reshaping themselves in the process. Their discussion dives into resilience, resourcefulness, and why the greatest opportunities often lie off the beaten path.This episode is both a critique of the old system and a vision for a new one, where students learn through building, failure is embraced as part of the process, and desire becomes the ultimate differentiator.What you'll learnHow traditional higher ed's incentives produce shallow learning—and how changing the “soil” unlocks genuine growth. The launch of the Sandbox Fellowship: a 12-month, accredited master's built around one job—build a company. The “neobank for universities” model: partnering with New Mexico Highlands University to innovate on top of accredited infrastructure. Why desire beats pedigree for founders, and how door-to-door grit translates into startup success.

We've succeeded in pushing back against men encroaching on private female spaces, but now it's time to interpose against governmental and feminist encroachment on male spaces. On today's special show, we're joined by Scott Yenor, professor of political science at Boise State and fellow at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss his call for returning military academies like the Virginia Military Institute to male-only education. Yenor traces the decline in male achievement as well as the social problems between the sexes to the creation of androgynous education goals foisted upon society by government. We lament how some conservatives who complain about transgenderism continue to adhere to the very feminist ideas, such as Title IX, that paved the road for today's problems. Yenor believes we are witnessing a return to the creation of marriageable men and women among young conservatives, but that is a trend that needs to be led by leaders on the right who set worthy examples.     Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textWhat if youth esports had the same structure, safety, and upward path as Little League or AAU? We sit down with Valhallan Esports' Morris Jackson to unpack how he went from owning a single arena to acquiring the entire brand and relocating HQ to Las Vegas—transforming a scattered scene into a true pipeline for kids, parents, schools, and colleges. From 23 locations across 12 states to an online platform that removes geography as a barrier, Morris lays out a plan to make Valhallan a destination where young gamers train, compete, and grow with purpose.We get practical about what parents really want to know: how to keep kids safe, how to make gaming productive, and how to navigate a space that now includes scholarships and academic tracks. Morris connects specific games to real skills—Rainbow Six Siege to cybersecurity, Minecraft to engineering and systems thinking—and explains how monitored communities, age tiers, and coaching turn screen time into skill time. We also explore how colleges like Boise State and Syracuse are investing, why UNLV's Cyber Week matters, and how scholarships are expanding fast.Las Vegas emerges as the perfect hub: HyperX Arena, global access, and a city that embraces innovation. Morris shares why Valhallan is moving to a corporate‑led model for consistency and quality, how online demand will guide future arena placements, and why this youth‑first focus can capture meaningful share in a $500B ecosystem. He closes with candid, hard‑won advice for entrepreneurs about stretching beyond comfort zones and refusing to let fear set the limits. If you care about kids, education, esports, or building a brand with real community impact, this conversation will stick.Enjoy the episode?

Greg Flammang of Irish Sports Daily recaps Notre Dame's 3 touchdown victory over the Boise State Broncos in Notre Dame Stadium.

They allowed 7 points, pressured Boise 33 times, and registered 4 interceptions. The Notre Dame running backs of Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price combined for 24 carries and 186 plus another two touchdowns to lead the Irish offense once again.

The Irish Sports Daily staff provides instant reaction and postgame analysis to Notre Dame vs Boise State in Notre Dame Stadium.

Welcome to Week 6, the start of Cocktober. We dive into a slate that's loaded with opportunities for offenses to establish themselves (or for underdogs to sneak in and steal one). We circle back and discuss the two biggest games of the weekend: Vandy traveling to Alabama and Miami making their first road trip to face Florida State in Tallahassee. Both have baggage, both feature ranked teams, and both could shake up the playoff picture. From there, we explore the sneaky-important matchups that nobody's talking about enough: Iowa State's trip to Cincinnati, Kansas State trying to bounce back at Baylor, and Texas facing a desperate Florida team in The Swamp. We also hit on Notre Dame's chance to make a statement against Boise State, the letdown potential for Illinois, and why we're believers in some serious home dog action this week (looking at you, Cal and Virginia). Plus, we've got our weekly Pat League lookahead, a breakdown of the optimal quad setup for Saturday, and a look at the Taylor Swift curse, bear coat turnover props, and more.

FOX Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his picks against the spread in the top games of the weekend. He begins by previewing his matchup on Big Noon Saturday on FOX between Wisconsin and #20 Michigan as Bryce Underwood and the Wolverine rushing attack faces a stout Badger run defense. He then makes his pick as #3 Miami hits the road to face arch-rival Florida State in a Top-20 matchup. He makes his picks as #16 Vanderbilt tries to pull off another upset of #10 Alabama and Florida looks to get their season on track when they host Arch Manning and #9 Texas in the Swamp. Klatt also breaks down the battle of unbeatens in the Big 12 as #11 Texas Tech faces surprising Houston on the road. He wraps up his picks by debating whether Notre Dame can keep things rolling against Boise State and cover the large spread in that game. 0:00-2:39 Intro2:40-7:34 Wisconsin vs. Michigan7:35-10:46 Miami vs. Florida State10:47-13:46 Vanderbilt vs. Alabama13:47-17:53 Texas vs. Florida17:54-21:25 Texas Tech vs. Houston21:26-28:13 Boise State vs. Notre Dame Learn more about your ad choices.
