The SEC has officially drawn a line in the sand on the growing NFL-to-college eligibility madness. After an initial 16-0 vote, SEC presidents formally approved penalties 15-0 with LSU abstaining, establishing consequences for programs and coaches who put former NFL players on active college rosters. We break down what the new rules mean, LSU's decision not to vote, and where this increasingly bizarre fight between college football, the courts and eligibility rules goes next.Plus, Thomas Castellanos is headed to Texas Tech after stops at UCF, Boston College and Florida State, ESPN is getting rid of the BottomLine ticker during college football games, and the NFL and NFLPA introduce new discipline for repeated violations.

What does it really take to be a sports agent in the modern era of NIL, the transfer portal, revenue sharing, and constantly changing college football? On this episode of The Gametime Guru, Shane Larson sits down with longtime professional sports agent Brian Levy, Founder and CEO of Goal Line Football. Brian has been an NFLPA-certified agent since 1990 and has spent more than three decades representing players and coaches while watching the business of football completely transform. From NFL contracts and coaching negotiations to NIL agreements involving athletes who are still in high school, Brian provides an inside look at what athlete representation really looks like in 2026. We discuss how Brian unexpectedly became a football agent after a chance encounter at a sneaker store, why relationships became the foundation of his entire career, and why honesty and loyalty still matter in an increasingly transactional sports industry. We also dive deep into the modern college football landscape, including: How NIL has changed the role of a sports agent The impact of the transfer portal and revenue sharing What high school athletes should consider before choosing a college Why young athletes need to understand taxes, LLCs, saving, and investing How parents can prepare themselves for NIL negotiations and recruiting The dangers of inexperienced people negotiating deals for athletes Why Brian believes the obsession with building an athlete's "personal brand" is often overhyped What actually creates a valuable brand for an athlete Why NFL organizations continue to make mistakes when hiring head coaches Why being a great coordinator doesn't automatically make someone a great head coach The story behind Mike Tomlin getting his opportunity with the Pittsburgh Steelers Why relationships, trust, honesty, and loyalty have defined Brian's career Brian also shares some powerful perspective from more than 35 years in the sports business, including why he doesn't measure success simply by money or the number of clients he represents. For Brian, success is about the relationships he has built and the impact people have had on one another along the way. If you're a high school athlete, college athlete, parent, coach, sports agent, athletic administrator, sports business professional, or college football fan, this conversation provides a fascinating look behind the curtain at the rapidly changing business of football.

Mike, Ali and Beau spend some time with national NFL writer and NFL Draft analyst for Yahoo Sports Eric Edholm! Ali, Beau, Mike, and Eric discuss if there was another team that Eric thought looked as bad or maybe even worse than the Atlanta Falcons did in week one of the NFL preseason or at least don't have as much going for them this season as the Falcons do, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell saying at some point there will be NFL teams outside the USA, where Eric thinks the best spot for an NFL team is outside of the U.S, the Seattle Seahawks signing cornerback Terrion Arnold despite his recent legal troubles that led to the Detroit Lions releasing him in the first place, if Eric was surprised by the length of the suspension that Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. received, if Eric was surprised by the fact that the suspension was pre-negotiated between the NFL and the NFLPA, what Eric thinks the Falcons are going up against in the Indianapolis Colts this week in joint practices, how Eric feels about the Falcons signing outside linebacker/pass rusher Za'Darius Smith, if the NFL will have to step in and do something about fights at NFL joint practices before they end up being outlawed, and if Eric thinks the Falcons quarterback next year will be Tua Tagovailoa, Michael Penix Jr., or a guy that the Falcons drafted in the 2027 NFL Draft.

HR3 - Falcons joint practices with Colts will have more takeaways then preseason matchup In hour three Mike, Ali and Beau continue to react to the Atlanta Falcons signing outside linebacker/pass rusher Za'Darius Smith to a one-year deal that is reportedly worth six million-dollars and has a chance to be worth eight million-dollars, talk about the Atlanta Falcons starting their joint practices with the Indianapolis Colts today, explain why they think the Falcons having a clean operation should be their number one priority in their joint practices with the Colts, continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves losing to the Minnesota Twins last night 4-1 in Minnesota in game two of their three game series, and explain why they think the Braves management of their starting pitching rotation will be irrelevant if their offense doesn't score runs at a more consistent clip. Finally, The Morning Shift crew closes out hour three by spending some time with national NFL writer and NFL Draft analyst for Yahoo Sports Eric Edholm! Ali, Beau, Mike, and Eric discuss if there was another team that Eric thought looked as bad or maybe even worse than the Atlanta Falcons did in week one of the NFL preseason or at least don't have as much going for them this season as the Falcons do, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell saying at some point there will be NFL teams outside the USA, where Eric thinks the best spot for an NFL team is outside of the U.S, the Seattle Seahawks signing cornerback Terrion Arnold despite his recent legal troubles that led to the Detroit Lions releasing him in the first place, if Eric was surprised by the length of the suspension that Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. received, if Eric was surprised by the fact that the suspension was pre-negotiated between the NFL and the NFLPA, what Eric thinks the Falcons are going up against in the Indianapolis Colts this week in joint practices, how Eric feels about the Falcons signing outside linebacker/pass rusher Za'Darius Smith, if the NFL will have to step in and do something about fights at NFL joint practices before they end up being outlawed, and if Eric thinks the Falcons quarterback next year will be Tua Tagovailoa, Michael Penix Jr., or a guy that the Falcons drafted in the 2027 NFL Draft.

In the 2nd hour of today's show, Dukes and Bell break down the news that Falcons pass rusher James Pearce Jr. will serve an eight-game suspension to start the 2026 season.

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and Zac Hiller (Follow on LinkedIn) sit down for a career spotlight on one of the more unconventional paths in building an NFL agency from the ground up.Zac, the founder and CEO of LAA Sports & Entertainment, opens up about how he went from a Michigan sports management student and young sports-industry hopeful to launching his own agency in 2017. He explains why his first client, Dalvin Cook, became the catalyst for LAA's growth and how doing more than simply making a pitch helped him stand out in a crowded industry.From there, Dan and Zac break down what it actually takes to become an NFL agent and also discuss the importance of identifying talent early, building genuine relationships with athletes, and treating clients the right way long before they become household names.The conversation then turns to the evolution of LAA. Zac discusses representing 12 active NFL players, building an NIL practice across college athletics, and developing a music division through partnerships in the music publishing industry. Dan and Zac also dive into the changing world of NIL and athlete representation, including why the growing accessibility of NIL creates opportunities for aspiring agents to find and develop talent before the rest of the industry catches on. They discuss LAA's intern network, the value of having people on college campuses, and how a relationship with an overlooked player can eventually turn into an NFL client.Finally, Zac discusses his growing presence on LinkedIn and why he uses the platform to educate aspiring agents and young professionals about the realities of the sports industry rather than the Hollywood version of what being an agent looks like. The episode closes with Zac's biggest lessons: create your own opportunities, find mentors who genuinely want to see you succeed, stay prepared, and be willing to trust your instincts when the right opportunity arrives.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

Willie says that unfortunately some young players trust the wrong people. An NFLPA certified investor calls in and tells us more.

Jerry asks Willie about managing an NFL paycheck and young players trusting the wrong people, backed by an NFLPA-certified investor, before the guys touch on the Yankees' lack of offense with the Red Sox right on their heels. C-Lo returns as Cris Collinsworth welcomes Mike Tomlin to NBC, sparking debate on whether Tomlin could coach the Jets next year, while signs point to Aaron Donald returning to the Rams. Plus, the show examines how common it is for adults to soil their pants alongside more on-air flubs, and Moment of the Day hits on cruise swingers and public intercourse. Finally, callers share close-call stories, leading to a reminder of the time Willie soiled himself on the field as a Steeler.

In the second hour, Mac & Bone talk about XL having a good start to his third NFL training camp, they address the NFLPA's investigation into the Nic Scourton injury; Paul Domowitch joins the show to talk about his book about Sam Mills, & the guys talk about the players they believe the most in after the first few days of camp See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Training camp doesn't wait for anybody, and Days 3 and 4 at Bank of America Stadium gave us a little bit of everything — a genuine gut-punch injury, a roster move that changes the pass-rush math, and one of the best "welcome to the building" stories you'll hear from a new Panther. On this episode of Keep Pounding Podcast, we break down every bit of it.We start with the hardest part of the show: Nic Scourton tearing his ACL in practice. Head coach Dave Canales didn't sugarcoat it, calling it a "horrible loss" for a rookie who was already building himself into a leader in that outside linebacker room. We walk through what Canales said about the team's reaction, what the timeline looks like for surgery and rehab, and why the NFLPA has actually requested to review the practice film. We also get into the ripple effects — Rob Hunt and Michael Jackson both dealing with back tightness, Will Lee and Chris Tabor Jr. on the watch list, and what it means for a defense that Canales says has been "pretty dominant" through the first two days of camp.From there we pivot to the response: the offense bouncing back hard in the rain, capping a competitive Day 4 with a two-minute drill touchdown drive against the number-one defense. Bryce Young spreading the ball to Xavier Legette, Tetairoa McMillan, and Trevor Coker looked like a quarterback in complete command of the install, and we get into why Canales keeps pointing to "the meu factor" — reps on task with these receivers dating back to the offseason — as the reason for it.Speaking of Legette, he's our Play of the Day. A touchdown grab in the back of the end zone, a contested deep ball down the sideline against Robert Rochell — this is a receiver who flashed as a rookie, got a little buried in the numbers last year behind McMillan's Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign, and looks like he's ready to make some noise in a genuinely deep receiver room.We also spend real time on the personnel move that matters most right now: Cam Gill signing back with the team after a strong UFL season and notching a sack in his very first practice back. With Scourton out, that outside linebacker room just got a lot more interesting — Princely Umanmielen being asked to become a complete every-down player, Pat Jones bringing rush versatility off last year's back injury, and a rotation of familiar faces in Travis Gibson and Thomas Incoom that the staff already trusts.That leads into one of the best segments of the show — Pat Jones' comeback story. A herniated disc, a broken-off piece of it pressing on a nerve, a season nearly lost, and a version of Jones who came out of it, in his own words, "the strongest I've ever been." He gets emotional talking about the teammates who got him through it, and he's already turned around and used that same experience to talk Nic Scourton through what's ahead. If you only watch one clip from this episode, make it this one.We round things out with a feature on Devin Lloyd, who's stepping into a Panthers middle linebacker lineage that runs through Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis, and Sam Mills — and actually set up a film session with Kuechly himself to get ready for it. Plus a full rundown of the five position battles we're watching closest heading into pads on Tuesday: outside linebacker, safety, wide receiver, running back, and the right side of the offensive line.Subscribe for the rest of camp coverage, drop a comment on who you think steps up in the rush rotation with Scourton out, and hit the bell so you don't miss the pads-on reaction video dropping later this week.

This heat is the WORST! I guess you could say it's going to cool off tomorrow with a high of just 87°, but I'm done with Summer. Let's get those crispy nights & chilly mornings going already. Jean's on vacation this week in Boston with her family, but I've got plenty of stuff to do this week with a big show on Friday at the Oktoberfest grounds…and a major concert announcement tomorrow morning. Speaking of this Friday's Megadeth & Obituary show at the Festgrounds, we talked to the legendary Dave Mustaine on Friday and ran that interview this morning. In the news today, a deadly shooting at a food festival in Seattle, a recall on a fabric dresser sold at Walmart, a deadly attack on a Pride celebration in Berlin, the latest on the shooting in Madison last week, and an update on the bio-hacker dude. The Brew Crew got a stellar start from the Miz yesterday and crushed the Rockies, Todd Gilliland may have won the $1 million in-season NASCAR tournament…but Corey Heim won the race yesterday, Tony Romo got popped for DUI over the weekend, and Lebron is heading to Philly to join the 76ers. Talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight…and recapped some of the highlights from this past weekend's Comic-Con in San Diego. Punch the Monkey just celebrated his first birthday and appears to be doing much better…and a dog that went missing over the 4th of July has been found & returned to his owners. A recent survey asked Americans if "flirting" with an A.I. program counts as cheating on your significant other…and about 1/4 of people think it does. Elsewhere in sports, the baseball HOF got some new inductees this weekend, Jacoby Brissett gets a nice contract extension, the 49ers head coach was involved in a pretty serious accident recently, John Tortarella is looking to coach again, and the NFLPA is investigating the Panthers after a player got seriously injured on the very first day of training camp! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who broke into a neighbor's house and made himself a margarita, a #FloridaWoman who stabbed her friend with a pair of scissors, a guy who got stuck inside of a gas station sign for several hours, a couple of guys who parachuted off the space needle in Seattle, and a woman on a Carnival cruise ship that was scratching her feet with a fork.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The NFL is the most profitable sports league on the planet. Thirty-two franchises. Billions in revenue. Owners worth tens of billions of dollars individually. And they won't put grass in their stadiums. This isn't a new conversation. It's just one that never gets loud enough. Nick Bosa tore his ACL on turf. Davante Adams. Deebo Samuel. The list of players who have gone down on artificial surfaces and never fully come back is long, it's painful, and it's completely preventable. The NFLPA has been fighting this battle for years. Players vote turf among their top safety concerns every single season.

Is it fiscally viable for all NFL stadiums to have grass fields?

Nate Tice sits down with Domonique Foxworth to cover how the NFL game is evolving over time, including the biggest issues the league faces entering the 2026 season. Nate & Domonique cover how NFL training camp attempts to prepare players for the rigors of a season with less and less full contact, the future of NFL defenses (and why it might be built around the safety position), what Domonique watches for when watching ball, changing offensive tendencies and how defenses can pick them apart and the most under-appreciated NFL “rule breakers” on defense (including Kyle Hamilton and Jalen Pitre).
