Sean Baligian unloads on one of the most chaotic selection weekends college football has seen, starting with the decision that sent shockwaves everywhere: Alabama slipping into the playoff despite three losses and a blowout defeat in the conference title game. He breaks down why the move makes no football sense, why brand bias continues to rule the sport, and how this year exposed (again) the absurdity of automatic qualifiers.From Notre Dame's résumé problems to Miami's head-to-head advantage, Sean walks through every argument the committee got wrong and explains why the AQ system is outdated, unnecessary, and actively harmful to the playoff field. He revisits infamous examples like Wisconsin's 2012 Big Ten title, outlines what a real competitive structure would look like, and reveals how Division II already has the blueprint the FBS refuses to adopt.The episode also dives into bowl-season quirks, NIL distortions, the transfer portal circus, the broken ethics around “student-athlete welfare,” and the widening disconnect between what fans love about the sport and what the sport is becoming. Plus: behind-the-scenes insight on Heisman voting, why weekday bowl games rule, and a few classic Sean stories sprinkled in.

In this week's basketball coaching conversation, Daemen University head coach Mike McDonald joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on coaching backwards with success.A fixture in the college basketball coaching fraternity, Mike MacDonald is entering his 29th season as a collegiate head coach. He was named the ECC, NABC District and BCANY Division II Coach of the Year last season after leading Daemen to a 28-1 record. He was also the recipient of the Clarence "Big House" Gaines Award given to the top coach in all of Division II basketball by collegeinsiders.com. MacDonald has led Daemen to a 232-84 record over his first 11 seasons, including eight 20-win seasons and five NCAA tournament berths. He enters the regular season just 11 wins shy of 500 for his career.Mike MacDonald has led Daemen University through one of the most successful stretches in program history. Under his leadership, Daemen has emerged as a power in the NCAA Division II. The Wildcats are coming off the most successful season in program history when they posted a 28-1 overall record, won the ECC regular season and tournament championships and qualified for the NCAA tournament for the fifth time. Daemen rattled off 28 straight victories to start the season, earning the distinction of being the last remaining unbeaten team across all three levels of NCAA basketball. Along the way, they ascended to the No. 1 ranking in the National Association of Basketball Coaches Division II poll for the first time in program history.With previous stops at Canisius University and Medaille University, MacDonald has worked across all three NCAA divisions. Before arriving at Daemen University, Mike MacDonald spent eight transformative years as head coach at Medaille College (2006–2014), where he turned a struggling NCAA Division III program into a regional powerhouse. Inheriting a team that had gone just 4–46 over the previous two seasons, MacDonald led the Mavericks to an average of 18 wins per year and six postseason appearances. His final five seasons were especially dominant—Medaille recorded 101 wins, the most of any Division III program in New York State during that span, and ranked 17th nationally in total victories. He was named Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year four times and left as the school's all-time leader in wins (149) and winning percentage (.671).Prior to Medaille, MacDonald spent 18 years at Canisius College, including nine seasons as head coach (1997–2006), where he guided the Golden Griffins to 108 wins and earned BCANY Division I Co-Coach of the Year honors in 2000–01. He also served as a longtime assistant at Canisius, helping the program reach the NCAA Tournament and two NIT appearances under head coach John Beilein.

Episode Notes This week, it brings me great pleasure to feature an icon who has rightfully earned nicknames such as "The Unofficial Mayor of Louisville" and "The City's Coach"!! He is the legendary Scotty Davenport, who spent 20 seasons serving as head men's basketball coach of the Bellarmine Knights. Coach Davenport admirably guided the Knights to a Division II national championship in 2011, and an Atlantic Sun Conference title in 2022. But even before these, he served as an assistant at U of L under both Denny Crum and Rick Patino, and also won a state title in 1988 at Louisville's Ballard High School! Join Scotty as he describes his path to basketball as a child, relives his Ballard state title, and looks back at two household names he was privileged to coach at Ballard: Allan Houston and DeJuan Wheat. He also discusses various aspects of his assistant/head coaching days at the college level, and talks a bit about what's keeping him busy in retirement. After listening to Coach D, I know you'll agree that his passion is simply contagious! Feel free to drop him a line any time at sdavenport@bellarmine.edu.

Episode #397: In this episode, we celebrate for over four decades of broadcasting with Art Hains as the soundtrack to Missouri State athletics.

His voice has echoed through gymnasiums and stadiums, bringing distant games into living rooms and car radios, making every listener feel like they had the best seat in the house.
