The coach is joined by reporters Tony Barnhart and Dennis Dodd to analyze a major 24-team playoff proposal from Big Ten Commissioner Tony Pettiti. Described as a "24-team compromise," the plan suggests expanding to 16 teams by 2026 or 2027, eventually reaching 24 teams shortly thereafter. The proposal is designed to address many of the SEC’s long-standing concerns, such as the elimination of automatic qualifiers and the potential removal of conference championship games, which the memo refers to as "artificial". The reporters highlight that under this format, the top 23 ranked teams plus one Group of Five representative would make the field, significantly increasing access for all conferences while potentially generating enough revenue to offset the loss of traditional title games. The discussion also explores the logistical advantages and broader implications of the 24-team model. A key feature of the proposal is that the top eight seeds would receive a bye and be guaranteed a home game, with the first two rounds played on campus sites. This addresses the medical concern of student-athletes playing too many games, as the maximum number of games a team would play remains 17, the same as the current 12-team model. Beyond the playoff, the group touches on "workarounds" in the NIL landscape, such as Texas Tech’s strategy of leveraging apparel deals and media partners to funnel money to athletes. They conclude by noting North Dakota State's move to the FBS and the ongoing struggle for the NCAA to secure a legislative "fix" from Congress for issues like athlete employment status.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dennis Dodd joins host Doug Matthews to discuss the evolving landscape of collegiate basketball under the new revenue-sharing and NIL models, noting that while football commands the majority of the projected $20 million payouts, basketball programs must increasingly rely on third-party collectives and apparel deals to attract top talent like BYU’s AJ Dybantsa. The conversation highlights the current dominance of the Big 12 and Big Ten conferences and notes surprising success stories, such as Nebraska’s resurgence and the competitive parity seen in Big East matchups like UConn versus St. John’s.
