On this extended edition of Deals & Deadlines, Matt Chernoff and sports agent/lawyer Hadley Engelhardt connect the biggest sports business stories across college football, baseball, and the NFL — all through the lens of money, leverage, media rights, and power. The show opens with a deep dive into the College Football Playoff business model, including the $4 million payout per team and how conferences like the SEC and Big Ten are stacking massive revenue advantages. The conversation expands into playoff expansion, Notre Dame’s exclusion, Group of Five access, TV windows competing with the NFL, and whether the current system actually delivers the best teams — or just the most profitable ones. From there, Matt and Hadley examine the future of bowl games, opt-outs, ESPN’s potential revenue losses, legal exposure, and why the postseason exhibition model may be nearing its breaking point. The discussion then turns to a landmark moment in college athletics: private equity officially entering the space, highlighted by Utah’s reported equity partnership that could reach $500 million. What does shared ownership mean for control, branding, NIL, Olympic sports, and the long-term soul of college athletics? On the baseball side, the show covers MLB Winter Meetings, where Scott Boras has become a full-scale celebrity power broker, securing over $1.2 billion in contracts while reshaping how agents create leverage. The episode also explores how a looming MLB CBA expiration is shortening contracts and pushing teams toward less risk, plus ESPN’s shift away from Sunday Night Baseball toward a fractured, streaming-first model. Finally, the show wraps with the NFL and global sports media: – Philip Rivers potentially returning at age 44 and what that conversation looks like from an agent’s perspective – The sudden drop in Taylor Swift’s NFL TV exposure and whether it’s a branding reset – And World Cup format changes, hydration breaks, and why “player safety” may really mean more ad inventory Smart, candid, and brutally honest — this is Deals & Deadlines at its most comprehensive. #DealsAndDeadlines #SportsBusiness #CollegeFootballPlayoff #CFPExpansion #MediaRights #BusinessOfSports #PrivateEquity #NIL #CollegeAthletics #MLBWinterMeetings #ScottBoras #MLBContracts #NFLBusiness #PhilipRivers #TaylorSwift #SportsMedia #StreamingSports #WorldCup2026 #FIFA #SportsLaw #ESPN #TVRatings #FootballBusiness #BaseballBusiness #sportseconomicsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Russell opens the show recapping the Capitals' sixth straight win and the growing versatility of Washington's young roster before shifting to the Commanders' decision to release Darnell Savage after inconsistent playing time. He previews Lions–Cowboys on Thursday Night Football, offering his pick and bringing on Cowboy B for his Dallas prediction, then later breaks down the week's marquee NFL matchups and debates a caller's claim that Jayden Daniels should sit out the rest of the 2025 season. Russell also questions whether NFL TV ratings are being embellished and examines the Wizards' struggles, including whether a coaching change is looming. He then takes a deep dive into the Commanders' defensive evolution under Dan Quinn, using Nicki Jhabvala's reporting and player quotes to explain what's changed since Quinn took over play-calling, reacts to Ben Standig's roster analysis, and closes with a data-driven look at where Washington's roster stands and how much work Adam Peters still has ahead.

The Friday Rapid Fire edition of IB Nation Sports Talk has the three-man band of Sean Stires, Vince DeDario and Jesse Stires covering a slew of topics, including: Which are you more confident in next season: Jaden Greathouse will have at least 700 receiving yards or Drayk Bowen will have at least 100 tackles? Thoughts on the future of Notre Dame baseball. SEC and Big Ten athletic directors left their meeting in New Orleans this week saying they are in favor of changing seeding for the College Football Playoff in 2025. If they make a change, the seeding would go directly off rankings 1 through 12 rather than how it was done this year by guaranteeing the highest ranked conference champions got first round byes. It's not a done deal though because all 10 FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua would have to vote unanimously to make any format changes for this season and this season only. So, on a scale of 1 to 10: How confident are you they will make the change for 2025? If they make the change to go directly off seeding, either for this season or for 2026 and beyond when they begin the new CFP format, that could mean Notre Dame could be eligible for a first round bye. So, would you rather have a first round home game or a first round bye? Fill-in the blank: Former Notre Dame offensive lineman Zack Martin has announced his retirement after 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. The thing you will most remember him for is BLANK. Will Notre Dame women's basketball get the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament? The NHL's Four Nations Face-Off was a smashing success as an alternative to their All-Star Game. Could Major League Baseball come up with something similar to replace its All-Star game? ESPN informed MLB it that the sports network will opt out of the last two years of its TV contract with baseball that includes Sunday Night Baseball, the Home Run Derby and first round wildcard playoff series. ESPN would have paid MLB $550 million per season. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred says it's a mutual parting of ways because he doesn't think it's beneficial for baseball to accept a smaller deal to remain on a shrinking platform. Do you Buy or Sell Manfred's spin? Fill-in the blank...It's BLANK that the New York Yankees have amended their facial hair policy to allow their players to have “well-groomed beards”. Rank the NFL TV broadcast teams: Al Michaels/Kirk Herbstreit Kevin Burkhardt/Tom Brady Joe Buck/Troy Aikman Mike Tirico/Cris Collinsworth Jim Nantz/Tony Romo Greg Olsen was bumped for Tom Brady on the Fox No. 1 crew. Which booths would Olsen make better if you subbed him in for one of the analysts in the booth?

NETFLIX Could BUY NFL TV Media Rights HOLD THEM HOSTAGE Then SELL THEM BACK to the Networks!

0:00 - The majority of our listeners wanted to root for Serbia basketball in the Olympics over the US team. Yet in the 4 Nations Face-Off, most people are rooting for the US over Canada. Serbia had Jokic. Canada has Makar, MacKinnon, and Toews. What's the difference?22:37 - The MLB salary cap is so completely and totally out of whack, and the league's commissioner is powerless to change it. 35:44 - Netflix is making a run at snatching more NFL games. And, oh by the way, they just raised their monthly subscription cost again. Brace yourself, folks. It's only gonna get worse from here on out.

In the last 30ish minutes, it seems like more and more people are all of the sudden throwing out the possibility of Mike Tomlin going elsewhere after the season with a loss on Saturday. Could the Steelers roster face total upheaval with a loss? Is it true that Tomlin would be hired in 5 seconds by another team like everyone says? The guys perused through some of the Gerry Dulac chat, which had interesting answers. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi was quick to answer what will happen with Mike Tomlin in a Steelers loss: nothing. She said the Steelers ownership is too stable about these things to rock the boat. Aditi didn't put a whole lot on Arthur Smith for why the game plan was so bad against the Bengals. Aditi thinks if Smith had a big say in next year's QB he would go with Justin Fields, out of guys who are on the roster. Will the Steelers be in the market for Aaron Rodgers this offseason? Aditi thinks it's a “very, very likely possibility” that George Pickens is playing his final game with the Steelers this weekend. She told a story about the other players really working hard to keep Pickens focused on the game. Donny Football Debrief – Awful Announcing has ranked the NFL TV announce teams. Tom Brady in 14th.

Do you watch NFL pregame shows? On today's episode I discuss the recent firings of Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason by CBS. They are being replaced by J.J. Watt and Matt Ryan. Is there a reason for this? I play an excerpt from the Michael Kay Show on ESPN Radio, New York. Kay insinuates age played a role and that is a slippery slope for CBS. I also read part of a column written by Phil Mushnick of the NY Post. Mushnick thinks these shows are a waste of time and I tend to agree. How often do you tune in to the various pregame shows? I rarely do! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
