Once per quarter, Ben and Sam Rogers with BUILD Coaching Company host The Underground Huddle - an interview with a prominent leader in sports or business with BUILD clients and other select guests present. All attendees live our mission to build an army of Disciplined Leaders and share our vision to be a resource for and a connector of current and aspiring leaders in small business, sports, and other areas of life.   For the 14th Underground Huddle, our guest was Chris Vaughn, assistant director of college scouting for the Dallas Cowboys. He joined the Cowboys in 2017 as an area scout after 18 years coaching college football with stops at Texas, Memphis, Ole Miss, and Arkansas. Today he works closely with the Cowboys VP of Player Personnel on talent evaluation. A former linebacker at Murray State, Vaughn is originally from Tallahassee, Fla., and most importantly is a husband to Marquette and a father to three children. Recorded June 2025.

This week we welcome Dusty May, Head Coach of the 2026 NCAA Champion Michigan Wolverines Men's Basketball team. He was hired in 2024 by Michigan and immediately turned the program around winning 18 more games than 2023 and leading the Wolverines back to the top of the Big 10 and to the NCAA Sweet 16. In 2026 they went 37-3 and defeated UConn in the NCAA final to take their second ever national title. In this incredible conversation, May shares what his non negotiables are, how he creates a player centered environment centered around decision making and a willingness to make the right kind of mistakes. He also speakes to why he has such a calm sideline demeanor, the role of love in coaching, and so much more.  Prior to Michigan, may led Florida Atlantic for six straight winning seasons in Boca Raton, Fla. (2018-24), May captured Florida Atlantic's first regular-season and tournament championships while playing in Conference USA in 2023. He compiled a program record of 126 wins and helped the Owls make a run to the 2023 NCAA Final Four. Before earning his first head coaching job at Florida Atlantic, May was an assistant under Mike White for seven years with stints at Florida (2015-18) and Louisiana Tech (2011-15). Before working under White, May was an assistant under Kerry Rupp at Louisiana Tech for two seasons (2009-11).  May started his coaching career at Eastern Michigan (2005-06) with Charlies Ramsey, before heading to Murray State (2006-07) to work under Billy Kennedy. Before joining Louisiana Tech, May spent two seasons with Mike Davis at UAB (2007-09).

It’s official!  Former LSU men’s basketball coach Will Wade is returning to Baton Rouge to coach the Tigers again next season.  The 43-year old Wade coached the LSU basketball team from 2017-2022 until he was fired following an NCAA probe into improper payments being offered to certain LSU basketball recruits. Back then, the NCAA did not allow schools to pay their players.  Yet. Ironically, Will Wade’s dismissal by LSU in 2022 happened right as the NCAA’s new rules (such as they are) were being implemented to allow college athletes to receive compensation for their name, image, and likeness (NIL).   Wade was simply ahead of his time.  LSU was slapped with five NCAA sanctions and sent the basketball coach to the unemployment line. Will Wade re-emerged at McNeese State University in Lake Charles a year later in 2023.  He led the Cowboys into their first-ever NCAA March Madness tournament in 2024 and, again, in 2025. Wade was then hired to become the head coach at North Carolina State this past season.  His NC State Wolfpack team was selected to participate in the NCAA “First Four” round. They lost to Texas in that game to finish the year at 20-14. While that was happening in the life of Will Wade, LSU’s then-Athletics Director Scott Woodward hired former Murray State basketball coach Matt McMahon to run the men’s program in the spring of 2022.  The Murray State Racers qualified for the NCAA March Madness tournament three times in five seasons under Coach McMahon before he left for LSU. Four years later, coach Matt McMahon’s LSU teams had won only 17 SEC games against 55 conference losses (23.6%).  This season’s Tigers finished dead last in the league with a woeful 3-15 record. Matt McMahon was dismissed this week, but he won’t go away empty handed The ex-LSU basketball coach will receive nearly $8 million as part of his contract buyout provisions.  He joined a growing number of former LSU sports leaders who were fired in recent years but received lucrative going-away presents upon their exit. Former LSU head football coaches Brian Kelly ($54 million – 2025) and Ed Orgeron ($17 million – 2021) along with former AD Scott Woodward ($6 million – 2025) have been paid handsomely to hit the road. When added to Matt McMahon’s $8 million buyout, that is $85 million which LSU’s wealthiest athletics backers have been asked to cover. In exchange, the school’s financial backers demand winners (sooner than later) in return for being asked to pay for so many expensive changes in Baton Rouge. Speaking of money, basketball coach Will Wade’s former school at North Carolina State will receive $4 million as compensation after his abrupt exit following season #1 in Raleigh. NC State Athletic Director Boo Corrigan was understandably miffed at coach Will Wade’s decision to leave his program after just one year. “As far as the resignation letter, it was an email that we received from his agent,” said Corrigan.  “I’m disappointed at how it went down.” Is the LSU basketball job actually better than North Carolina State? LSU has zero NCAA men’s basketball tournament titles.  Long-time coach and fan favorite Dale Brown’s Tigers played in two Final Four appearances (1981 and 1986), but his teams lost in the national semifinals both years. Brown’s successor, John Brady, led LSU to another Final Four appearance in 2006. Same result. Over the past twenty years, LSU was selected for the NCAA post-season tournament just five times.  Three of those occurred during coach Will Wade’s five seasons with the Tigers (2019, 2021, and 2022). After being fired by LSU, Will Wade rebuilt his credibility by turning the McNeese State Cowboys of the Southland Conference into a basketball powerhouse during his two years in Lake Charles.  The Pokes went 30-4 and 28-7, won the Southland Conference title both years, and made two consecutive March Madness post-season appearances. Wade left after two seasons to take the job at North Carolina State of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Wolfpack already had two national championship trophies in Raleigh. Coach Norm Sloan’s 1973-74 team featured dynamic high-flying forward David Thompson, 7’4” center Tom Burleson and diminutive 5’7” point guard Monty Towe.  NC State defeated legendary coach John Wooden’s mighty UCLA Bruins in overtime in the semifinals and then polished-off Marquette to win the school’s first basketball title. Coach Jim Valvano’s 1983 North Carolina State team won the ACC Tournament and barely qualified for the NCAA March Madness field as a lowly #6 regional seed.  His “Cardiac Pack” thrilled the nation by defeating a series of top teams on their way to the title game against heavily favored Houston.  Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler and Houston’s Phi Slamma Jamma team lost to NC State on a stunning last second put-back for the Wolfpack’s second national championship. Given North Carolina State’s national stature in basketball, the job in Raleigh seems to be slightly higher in prestige than the men’s head coaching job at LSU.  Since the turn of the century, the ACC was won ten national titles versus four by the SEC. Coach Will Wade’s first year at North Carolina State improved the Wolfpack from 12-19 last year to 20-14 in 2026. However… North Carolina State recently announced that it is having athletic budget issues A February report indicated that North Carolina State’s athletics department ran a $18.5 deficit over the past 12 months.  The school’s athletic revenues of $126 million did not cover the expenses of $144 million. The report cited increased costs due to revenue sharing with the athletes.  In fact, $18 million was shared by NC State’s athletes over in the past year. The school (like so many others) is now looking at raising ticket prices, holding large concerts on-campus, and other measures aimed to increase revenues without trimming athletic costs. Perhaps Will Wade saw the handwriting on the wall at NC State.  He has moved to a school which has been spending money on athletics like the proverbial drunken sailor. Is LSU becoming McNeese State University – East campus? In the past six months, LSU has looked 130 miles to the west to hire two of its key leaders from McNeese State University in Lake Charles. McNeese President Wade Rousse accepted the vacant top position at LSU in November, 2025.  The new LSU President was rumored to be the top choice of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry. Yesterday (Thursday), McNeese State University Athletics Director Heath Schroyer announced his departure for LSU as well.  He was named “Senior Deputy AD/Executive Director of External Relations” for the LSU system. Translation – Heath Schroyer will be tasked with raising more money for sports (particularly men’s basketball) while hovering over the shoulders of current LSU Director of Athletics Verge Ausberry. Schroyer had been a long-time college basketball coach.  After becoming the McNeese State University Athletics Director, he brought Will Wade to coach the men’s basketball team in 2023.  The program quickly blossomed into a Southland Conference dynamo. As the week draws to a close, the 2023-2025 era McNeese State University posse of President Wade Rousse, AD Heath Schroyer, and men’s basketball coach Will Wade has been reunited again in Baton Rouge. LSU’s athletics budget was already huge.  What’s a few more million dollars to bring in a new men’s basketball coach and his good buddy, right? Men’s basketball at LSU has been in significant decline in recent years.  However, the men’s basketball team financial income statement is, somehow, still profitable. LSU’s 2025 annual report to the NCAA showed that men’s basketball turned a profit of around $2.5 million despite declining home game attendance. Meanwhile, Coach Kim Mulkey’s very popular women’s basketball team at LSU averaged 10,707 fans per game vs. 7,147 for the men. The LSU women won the 2023 national championship and earned a #2 regional seed in the Women’s March Madness tournament this year.  LSU fans are very proud of Kim Mulkey and the school’s women’s basketball program. Would you believe that the LSU women’s program posted an $8 million loss in 2025? How is that even possible? The compensation (salary, bonus, and benefits) for the LSU men’s and women’s basketball coaches and staff are fairly equal. In case you were wondering, Kim Mulkey earned $500,000 more than men’s coach Matt McMahon’s $3 million last year. Total expenses for the men’s team last year were $11.1 million. The LSU women’s basketball team spent $12.1 million in 2025. However, the LSU women’s basketball program produced total revenues of just $4.137 million (tickets, program donations, and about $500,000 from NCAA post-season tournament revenues).  The women’s team had zero media income from the SEC and other media sources, though.   The LSU’s men’s basketball team posted revenues of $13.625 million!  The Tigers benefited from a $2 million check from the massive NCAA’s men’s March Madness TV contract plus another $7 million received from the SEC and others for media rights. That incremental $9 million for LSU men’s basketball from SEC media sources and NCAA tournament revenues makes a world of difference! From LSU’s perspective, there is still upside potential to increase men’s basketball ticket sales, merchandising, and, of course, NIL fundraising as coach Will Wade returns to the school next year. Ride ’em, ex-Cowboys! Expect the former McNeese State Cowboys’ dynamic duo of Will Wade and cohort Heath Schroyer to join forces to shake every possible money tree in Louisiana on behalf of the LSU men’s basketball program.  Will Wade wants more money to buy better basketball players. LSU’s athletics budget of more than $200 million annually dwarfs the $146 million (and its $18 million annual loss) at North Carolina State.  Coach Wade envisions LSU’s bigger pie and more to share with his players. The increased interest in men’s basketball around Baton Rouge resulting from Will Wade’s return should provide a reasonable boost to season ticket sales revenue.  If Coach Wade is able to transform LSU’s men’s basketball team into an March Madness contender soon, the funding from basketball donors will grow as well. Time to giddy-up and Geaux Tigers! The post Will Wade and the McNeese State Posse Rides into Baton Rouge appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Take a trip to the Queen City as we talk to Tim Murray, Athletic Trainer for the Cincinnati Cyclones, the ECHL pro hockey team that plays at Heritage Bank Center. Tim tells us about the Cyclones, a ECHL minor league hockey team affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL) and Toronto Marlies (AHL), gives us an overview of the roles of an athletic trainer, and what a typical day is for him for home and away games. Learn what makes a good venue from his side of the industry, the differences of being an athletic trainer with different sports, and what he loves about hockey. Tim tells us what inspired him to pursue this career, and walks us through time in school at EKU (where he became friends with Paul) and Murray State, and his path that led him to his current role. We discuss competitive drive and how he has competed in different events and currently competes in CrossFit. Tim tells us about his work in spreading awareness for Dwarfism and #DwarfismAwarenessMonth (October) – using his platform to educate people and advocate for those who can't advocate for themselves.

Join the Guys for their annual Dakota Marker Preview with FCS Fan's nation's Matt Fraas

In this Episode we breakdown the win over the Murray State Racers, and we'll talk about the upcoming, Top-Rated, FCS matchup for the Dakota Marker.

In the episode you can join the guys as they go over the Hobo Day game (Vs. Northern Iowa) and experience. We will also preview Murray State and can all but guarantee Horse discussion and Horseplay.

New guest Matt Fraier joined the Bench for this game hosted by Josh (the non-rabbi). In this episode, Matt calls Dave "Rude!" after a shot is taken at Murray State, Walling doesn't think that Will Shipley had a dad..., Mason would like us to stay away from John Popper, Dave and Mason were stuck on double letters, and Dave stated during the Halftime Show that "I don't like that." #samcassell #hpnotiq #hennessey #nonrabbi #rude #murraystate #willshipley #johnpopper #doubleletters #idontlikethat https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

NOTICE: This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out! Forgive us for not taking it "one game at a time" like coaches always preach.Even in today's modern college football world of just about anything unimaginable happening — Indiana vaulting to a No. 3 ranking two years after being dog meat, Jimmy Rogers and his 33-point underdog "Washington State Jackrabbits" almost beating No. 4 Ole Miss — many football fans in the Dakotas are already looking ahead to next week.While No. 1 North Dakota State and No. 2 South Dakota State hunker down for road games at perennial MVFC doormats Indiana State and Murray State on Saturday, "Nobody's Listening Anyway" hosts John Gaskins and Matt Zimmer dare compare the FCS big dogs' resumes and opine on how ready the seemingly vunerable Jacks are for the seemingly teflon Bison.Specifically, is the "bust" part of the boom-or-bust SDSU offense concerning if not alarming? Will the return of top wideout Lofton O'Groske erase those concerns?At the top of many fans' minds is the potential return of ESPN's College Gameday to Brookings for the Dakota Marker Game? Is the breathless lunging at the Mother Ship on social media worth it? Well, yeah, considering the vivid and fun memories that Zim shares of the crew's broadcast the morning of this matchup in 2019.  This leads into a discussion about the merits and misery of watching Pat McAfee, or of being co-host A.J. Hawk on McAfee's daily show.After that sidetrack, a discussion about the emergence of freshman quarterbacks at both Augustana and USF — Rich Lucero, Jr., and Tate Schafer. Then, about USD and its ugly but effective 19-14 win at Indiana State and if the Coyotes' clear establishment of their identity is serving them well enough to for monster final month of showdowns against Top 25 Valley teams.Finally, what does Zim make of the Matt Rhule era at Nebraska now that the end may be near, with speculation he's a top candidate for the Penn State opening and the former PSU linebacker expressing unabashed love for both institutions upon being asked about the position on Monday.

Join the A-Team as we discuss all things Hobo Day and game and look forward to the tip to Murray State.

So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out! Hobo Day hiccup in 2025?Hardly a chance, or so it appears, with No. 2 South Dakota State barging through the second half in Youngstown to improve to 5-0 while 2-3 Northern Iowa stumbled through more growing pains under a new coaching staff in a 35-7 loss to North Dakota.But whenever UNI is listed on SDSU's football schedule as the homecoming opponent, some Jackrabbit fans — especially alumni from 2015 and 2017 — might wince in trauma from past Panther upsets.But is UNI worth any worry this Saturday? Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer has covered the Jacks for a decade and has his thoughts in the latest weekly edition of Happy Hour's "Nobody's Listening Anyway" with John Gaskins.SDSU coach Dan Jackson, in his weekly Happy Hour chat on Monday, conveyed a clear message about what he wants out of Jacks fans on Saturday — strong attempts at the biggest and loudest crowd in Dykhouse Stadium history — and this leads to a discussion about Jackson as the football program's "ambassador" and how natural that unofficial role is for him.Jackson credited his "great program" and "great culture" for the come-from-behind win at then-No. 24 YSU. But was it a great win? Zim and John break down what went wrong in the first half and why SDSU dominated the second half, assess the latest performance from quarterback Chase Mason, and the emerging strength of running back Julius Loughridge and the "605 Hogs" up front.From there, what is there to make of South Dakota's 49-24 win over Murray State, which has lost all of its nine Missouri Valley Conference games since joining the league last season? For at least a game, Travis Johansen was right when he told John last week that his program has too strong of a culture to let the season go off the rails. (Here is Johansen's follow-up chat from Tuesday, with plenty of insight about his defense, penalties, playing violent, and an update on retired predecessor Bob Nielson).The Coyotes have gone "back to the pack" of the rest of the MVFC challengers to NDSU and SDSU's supremacy, but where does USD, UND, Illinois State, Southern Illinois, and Youngstown State appear to be in the current picture?Then, a recap of the latest, incredible chapter in the "Key to the City" series between backyard rivals Augustana and the University of Sioux Falls in which the Vikings came back from a 28-10 fourth quarter deficit to win 29-28 at USF. While Carson Wentz played "fine" in guiding the Minnesota Vikings to their own fourth quarterback in London in another "boring, nondescript" overseas game, what fascinated Zim more than anything on Sunday morning was Will Reichard's fourth quarter field goal kick that was veered off line by striking a seemingly invisible camera — and how nobody seemed to know what the hell happened for a while.The episode ends with the battle between two native South Dakota head coaches in the WNBA Finals, Nate Tibbetts and Becky Hammon. As John mentioned to start Tuesday's show and Zim wrote in a Wednesday column, this source of Rushmore State pride has been decades in the making, a product of a state that has valued and supported girls and women's basketball since well before other states finally found it fashionable. 

"Speed Kills" is a common refrain being repeated by Grizzlies players when they speak to the media at training camp in Nashville. Head coach Tuomas Iisalo is pushing the Grizzlies, which led the NBA in pace last season, to go even faster this season. Will it work? How will the Grizzlies be able to evolve to stay ahead of the curve in an NBA that is embracing playing faster?This episode goes over those questions, plus also gets the input of newcomers Ty Jerome and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as they speak about how the speed in Memphis compares to their previous training camps. Also covered: Ja Morant is enjoying wearing his Murray State gear around Belmont, Santi Aldama is ready for all the minutes he can get, and Tuomas Iisalo has compliments for rookie Cedric Coward and sees opportunities for him.Come play fantasy basketball with Keith and other listeners this season!
