On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to Brendon Sorsby's eligibility battle and explains how his court victory may have exposed just how little power the NCAA actually has in modern college sports. Has college athletics become a loophole economy where every punishment, eligibility ruling, and NCAA decision is now negotiated in court? JT also discusses why Nick Saban is right about college football needing structure despite fans refusing to separate the message from the messenger, why Georgia's offense may be Kirby Smart's biggest blind spot as the SEC talent gap continues to shrink, and whether Oregon's repeated postseason failures point to a deeper identity problem under Dan Lanning. Plus, JT breaks down why Dallas Wilson could become one of college football's biggest breakout stars for Florida, why Florida State risks becoming the next Nebraska if the program keeps relying on its history more than its current results, and why Bryce Underwood finally has a legitimate chance to live up to the hype now that Michigan has surrounded him with a more stable coaching staff, a quarterback-friendly offense, and the developmental structure he lacked as a freshman. All that and more on another packed episode of the JT Sports Podcast.

In this episode of Hit The Books, Brad Powers and Joey Knish dive into one of the most debated topics in all of college football right now: which head coaches are actually being overrated by the market, the media, and fan perception. The conversation gets heated quickly as they break down the gap between reputation and real results across the sport. Mario Cristobal at Miami comes under the microscope, with discussion around elite recruiting versus actual on-field execution and whether the results truly match the hype. Dabo Swinney's Clemson tenure is also heavily debated, especially as questions continue to grow around whether the program has adapted enough to modern college football after recent down years. The guys also take aim at Lincoln Riley and whether his offensive brilliance is being overshadowed by deeper program-building concerns at USC, especially after expectations shifted following his arrival. Coach Prime and Colorado are brought into the mix as well, focusing on whether early momentum can realistically be sustained in the new transfer portal era or if regression is coming. From there, the debate escalates into some of the biggest names in the sport. Steve Sarkisian at Texas is questioned in terms of win consistency versus roster talent and program investment, while Kirby Smart at Georgia sparks one of the most controversial takes of the episode, with Brad and Joey challenging whether results fully match the national perception of dominance in today's college football landscape.

Plus, we talk through what fans of rebuilding teams should actually look for in Year 1, why playoff expansion arguments still feel slippery, and which players or teams are perfect for showing off at a June cookout. And, naturally, the episode eventually drifts into Brendan Fraser playing Dwight Eisenhower in a D-Day weather drama, bad old predictions, Drake Lindsey discourse, Arkansas despair, and Dan’s ongoing effort to make Ty regret his phrasing.

Former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker joins the discussion as college athletics faces major changes with the proposed Protect College Sports Act, a bipartisan effort from Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell aimed at reshaping the future of the NCAA, NIL, the transfer portal, athlete eligibility, and revenue sharing. In this episode, Jake Coker and the crew break down the biggest issues in college sports today: should athletes be limited to one transfer? Should college eligibility be capped at five years? Should former professional athletes be allowed to compete in college sports? And could revenue sharing and NIL changes put non-revenue sports like softball, baseball, and other spring sports at risk? Jake also shares his perspective as a former Alabama quarterback, explaining why he believes transfer restrictions could help athletes build accountability, handle adversity, and develop within a program. Plus, the guys celebrate a big week for Alabama athletics, including the Alabama softball team's dramatic postseason comeback win over UCLA and Alabama baseball's explosive playoff performance. The conversation also turns nostalgic as Jake Coker looks back on Alabama's dominant 38-10 win over Georgia in 2015, his playing career, a memorable trick play involving Kelvin Benjamin, and the lasting impact of elite coaches like Nick Saban and Kirby Smart on college football programs.

College football has changed forever.Not just because athletes can now earn money, but because 18, 19 and 20-year-olds are suddenly being asked to make decisions that most adults still struggle to navigate.That's why this conversation hit different.Welcome to the latest episode of Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth, fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.In advance of the Elite 11 Finals, I sat down with Ohio State offensive lineman Luke Montgomery, Georgia quarterback Ryan Montgomery, and Dane Burkholder — a partner at Roseville Wealth, where he and his team manage over 2.1 Billion dollars every year. Dane also coined the phrase and founded the company The Financial Athlete.Today's guests unpack the new reality in college football: The Rise of the Financial Athlete, and the way an All-American offensive lineman in Columbus and his quarterback brother in Athens navigate it all.For those seeking to surround themselves with athletic minds who are succeeding in the Financial Athlete world of college football — look no further than these two, and Dane, for role models.To be blunt: athletes and parents need to listen to this.The Montgomery brothers didn't just talk about contracts or NIL deals — they talked about patience. Discipline. Delayed gratification. Building a trusted circle. Protecting their future. And understanding that money can either become a blessing…or a distraction.In other words, they used football analogies and applied them to their business life. As they should.Luke opened up about what it's really like navigating the NIL era at a powerhouse like Ohio State — and how head coach Ryan Day embraces his responsibility to impact his team off the field when it comes to balancing football, expectations, leadership and real financial accountability at an incredibly young age.Ryan shared why development mattered more than chasing the biggest payday when he chose Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs, and how keeping the bigger picture in focus has shaped every decision he's made since arriving in Athens.What stood out most to me was their perspective.Throughout our conversation, I kept thinking about what all of us who love sports so often preach — that the skills that allow you to find success on the field will always transition into life.And that is exactly where Dane Burkholder and his education around being a Financial Athlete meets the moment. Dane's team and their content continues to impact this generation of athletes, parents and coaches in ways that are helping athletes on countless levels.Join THE HONOR ROLL campaign. Free Newsletter + Fun Gifts.As our conversation wound down, I was struck by how consistently Luke and Ryan kept thinking 20, 30, even 40 years ahead.About setting up their future families.About investing instead of reacting emotionally.About understanding that football won't last forever.And maybe most importantly, they spoke about the power of environment.The right coaches. The right teammates. The right family. The right mentors.Or as my father still tells me: “You are the company you keep.”This episode will resonate with athletes, parents, recruits and honestly anyone navigating pressure, opportunity and long-term decision-making.Because the truth is, The Financial Athlete isn't just a football conversation anymore.It's a life conversation.It's also Elite 11 Finals week — where every quarterback, parent and mentor will have seen this podcast and will get to be part of our powerful curriculum, Beyond the X's and O's, which we've been running for nearly 20 years.The people who taught Luke and Ryan how to navigate life from day one — Mom and Dad — will be special guests in an intimate conversation with Dane and me, going behind the scenes on how they raised their sons to thrive on the field while staying so level-headed off it, as Financial Athletes at two of the most pressure-packed universities in the nation.I can't wait for this one — as a college football analyst and as a parent.Be sure to subscribe to Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth to get it right in your inbox, and on YouTube as we continue to grow our community.Much love and stay steady, YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Plus, USC's massive offensive line has JT wondering if Lincoln Riley is ready to bully the Big Ten, and Steve Sarkisian's latest comments have JT asking whether Texas is already feeling Natty-or-Bust pressure before the season even starts. All that plus SEC power moves, Big Ten expansion fallout, Miami's new identity, Colorado's recruiting reset, Auburn's dangerous offense, USC's physical transformation, and Texas chasing Georgia for the throne of college football.
