Former U.S. Senator, former university president, and Senior Fellow at AEI Ben Sasse, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss a few stories surrounding falling education standards and collegiate athletics. One story involves new University of California San Diego report showing incoming freshmen lacking basic middle-school-level math skills, which he says reflects a much deeper national problem in education. Sasse and Benson also discussed Harvard's stunning grade inflation and the rise in students at elite schools claiming disabilities to gain academic advantages. Finally, Sasse and Benson discussed the current overcorrections in NIL and the college football playoff system need to be reined in to restore balance so that college sports does not remain a "junior professional sports league."

Winter is hitting, parent-teacher conferences are looming, and Dan and Frank kick off the Dan Marino “Rocket Man” episode with a mix of nostalgia, sports-radio fuel, and a full Week 13 NFL rewind. Before the games, the guys hit the MLB Hot Stove ahead of the Winter Meetings—Schwarber's rumored price tag, Philly's possible pivot plan (Realmuto + Bader + Bellinger), what it means for Castellanos and the DH spot, and the Mets' ripple effects if Alonso walks.Then it's college football reality: Early Signing Day, the Lane Kiffin-to-LSU drama, and a blunt take on modern “loyalty” in the NIL/portal era—where players chase life-changing money, schools chase wins, and coaches get replaced fast when expectations are out of sync with reality.Week 13 NFL recap brings the turbulence:Thanksgiving slate: Green Bay knocks off Detroit, the Cowboys clip the Chiefs again, and Cincinnati shocks Baltimore.Black Friday: Chicago runs all over Philly and the “Boo Birds” come out.Sunday chaos: Niners handle Cleveland, Jags roll Tennessee, Houston steals one in Indy (Rich nails the lone-wolf), Jets trip Atlanta, Tampa survives Arizona, and Carolina stuns the Rams—proof that the moment you crown a contender, they find a way to faceplant.Afternoon hammer: Seattle blanks Minnesota 26–0, and Buffalo rebounds by drilling Pittsburgh.The episode closes with more NFL coaching talk and a big-picture question: which teams are real contenders—and which ones are just wearing a costume.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/Roof Top Innovations the leading Roofing Company in Waco, Tomball surrounding areasWe focus on all types of roofing systems, with a focus on the best quality possible.

In Episode 14, the KEF crew digs into the latest Nebraska coaching moves, who's out, who's in, where they came from, and why Matt Rhule is clearly tightening the screws heading into the next phase of the rebuild. We talk accountability, development, and why these moves feel less like panic and more like a program trying to grow up in a chaotic college football landscape.We also zoom out and look at the college football coaching carousel, the transfer portal madness, NIL pressure, and how Nebraska's approach compares to what's happening across the Big Ten and the rest of the country.No hot takes for clicks — just honest Husker talk, strong opinions, and the kind of conversation you'd have over a couple Bloody Marys on a Sunday morning.

Deputy AD Jason Booker who oversees revenue share and NIL comes on to talk about the hot topic.  Booker also gives the latest in stadium construction. Latest thoughts on the basketball team winners in four of their last five.  The ending to a 5-7 football season and the coaches turn their attention to the portal.  KU lands a strong local class in football and much more.

Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood faces a tough decision of entering the Transfer Portal, or sticking with the Wolverines despite the Sherrone Moore saga. With offers from top college football programs, and enticing NIL deals on the table, Underwood's decision could impact Michigan's program for years come. Will he choose hero status with the Wolverines or chase opportunity and a better offensive fit elsewhere?Brian Smith analyzes Underwood's performance stats, his sky-high athletic ceiling, and what teams targeting a playmaking quarterback look for in the current landscape. The conversation also explores the journeys of Kenny Minchey (Notre Dame) and Colton Joseph (Old Dominion), different paths to the portal, and how programs are aggressively inducing signal callers to transfer. The race to secure top talent before the critical January Transfer Portal window—and the wild, high-stakes world of college football roster building—takes center stage.

Que mangeaient les Égyptiens de l'Antiquité ? Les boissons ou mets à nos tables encore aujourd'hui ? Que racontent les tombeaux des Pharaons ? Les vestiges des chantiers des constructions des pyramides ? Les rives du Nil ? L'égyptologue Pierre Tallet le confirme : la cuisine est une excellente source, elle met sur la piste des habitudes, des ustensiles, des us et coutumes et des goûts de civilisations anciennes. Les ustensiles, les peintures, les sculptures sont autant d'indices pour saisir les savoir-faire, les mets, et les saveurs qui faisaient le quotidien des Pharaons et des Égyptiens des milliers d'années avant J.-C. à ceci près que ces représentations constituent une version idéalisée et glorifiée de la réalité. Les offrandes peintes sur les murs, les jardins et les banquets, les moules de boulangerie, la faune et la flore racontent les saveurs et les mets qui, parfois, ont subsisté au fil des siècles à l'instar des houmous et plats de fèves, du pain et de la bière qui font le socle de l'alimentation dans l'Égypte ancienne. Sur les fresques déjà, les poissons, la poutargue, la viande séchée, des oiseaux confits, des saumures, et la pâtisserie, les fruits (dattes, figues, plus tard la grenade et les pommes), les techniques de conservation encore utilisées aujourd'hui. La cuisine de l'Égypte ancienne, son étude, éclaire sur les géographies, les cultures, la richesse. Le Nil et ses crues donnaient le ton, entre abondance et famine, les «bonnes manières» et les conventions sociales, les relations au sein d'un même peuple, et avec les pays voisins. Manquent les recettes dont il reste peu, voire pas de traces écrites, une frustration dont on se console en tentant à notre tour, avec plus ou moins de succès, un foul medammes encore savouré aujourd'hui en Égypte, ou un gâteau de souchet dont la recette a presque été trouvée. Avec Pierre Talley, docteur en Égyptologie, égyptologue à La Sorbonne et directeur de l'Institut français d'archéologie orientale du Caire. Il publie chez Actes Sud «Cuisine et saveurs de l'Égypte ancienne», son 3ème livre et dernier livre autour de la nourriture en Égypte ancienne.

In this conversation, Darin sits down with his longtime friend, athlete, and powerhouse human Gabby Reece to talk about what it really takes to grow up without shutting down. They go into childhood chaos, the gift and cost of competitiveness, and what it means to stay "dangerous" in the best way as you age — in your body, your relationships, and your purpose. Gabby opens up about losing her father young, being uprooted from the Caribbean, using sport as a lifeline, and eventually navigating fame, motherhood, and a marriage with Laird Hamilton under intense pressure. She and Darin get radically honest about boundaries, addiction, partnership, sleep, hormones, and why women's wisdom in midlife is massively undervalued.

In this episode of The Hog Pod, newly retired Arkansas men's track & field coach Chris Bucknam sits down for an honest, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about closing out his 18-year run leading one of college sports' most storied programs. Bucknam talks about clearing out his office, leaving trophies where they belong, and wrestling with the memories — the SEC Triple Crowns, 18 podium finishes, two national titles, and the one-point heartbreaks that still stick with him. He shares candid stories about replacing a legend in John McDonnell, what it felt like to sit in "that chair," and why he always kept a picture of Coach McDonnell on his desk as a daily reminder of the standard he inherited. Bucknam also discusses the challenge of trying to win in all three sports — cross country, indoor, and outdoor — with limited scholarships, and why he believes that philosophy defined his tenure. He opens up about the changing landscape of college athletics, the transfer portal, NIL, and why the evolution of the sport played some role — but not the main role — in his decision to step away. Ultimately, he says, retirement is about family, health, and passing the program to someone he trusts. Bucknam emphatically explains why longtime assistant Doug Case is the right person to lead Arkansas next, praising his loyalty, calm presence, and technical mastery. It's a wide-ranging look back at a remarkable career — full of competitive fire, humility, and the perspective that only comes at the end of a legendary run. --- The full video version of this episode is available exclusively on HogsPlus.com Follow us on social media!

JR on Philip Rivers' press conference with the Colts ahead of his potential NFL return. | Pete Fiutak from CollegeFootballNews.Com joins JR to talk all things college football! | Troy Aikman is mad about NIL. |

“Would you trade Corey Seager if the offer was right?” That's the question that kicks off a fiery debate on today's Ben and Skin Show with Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “Baby Cornbread” Ray.This episode is packed with laughs, hot takes, and jaw-dropping sports rumors as the guys react to the bizarre return of Philip Rivers to the NFL at age 44. Plus, The Michigan coaching drama takes a wild turn. Is this the craziest story of our lifetime? The crew dives into the rumors, NIL chaos, and why legacy programs might never be the same.Also, could Corey Seeger really be on the trade block? The gang debates whether moving a World Series hero makes sense—and what it says about the future of Texas baseball.

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.

If you're a parent with a kid in youth sports—rec, competitive, or full-blown travel—today's episode will hit home. I sit down with Jonathan Carone, creator of Healthy Sports Parents, for a powerful conversation about what youth sports have become, why burnout is skyrocketing, and how well-meaning parents (including me in the early years) unknowingly make the experience more stressful for their kids.   We break down shocking stats—like why 70% of kids quit sports by age 13, why travel leagues are burning families out, and how overtraining is causing injuries in 9-, 10-, and 11-year-olds. Jonathan brings immense wisdom about the car ride home, sideline behavior, when to step in with coaches, and how to raise confident, resilient athletes without crushing the joy of the game.     Timeline Summary:   [0:00] The surprising reason most kids quit sports by age 13. [2:14] Larry shares his own evolution from "obnoxious sideline dad" to quiet encourager. [3:41] Introducing guest Jonathan Carone of Healthy Sports Parents. [4:10] Why travel sports are wrecking family time and burning kids out. [4:40] The truth about scholarships and NIL fantasies. [5:00] How the car ride home can make or break a kid's love for the game. [6:04] The pressure kids feel once sports stop being fun. [7:04] Why rec leagues are disappearing—and why that matters. [8:29] How travel sports exploded over the last 25 years. [10:25] A realistic look at what travel sports demand from families. [12:09] Early onset injuries from overscheduling and year-round seasons. [14:21] Real-life stories of parents whose kids never get a break. [16:06] Why travel sports can destroy family dinners and family culture. [17:05] The fear-based mindset driving parents to overcommit. [19:47] The burnout cycle and why most kids stop enjoying the sport. [20:05] The psychology behind parents who push too hard. [21:13] Self-love vs. self-glory and how they influence parenting. [22:29] The myth of scholarships and how rare they really are. [23:24] How unhealthy pressure destroys a child's love for physical activity. [24:13] Why running became punishment for our generation. [26:33] Protecting kids' mental health in the digital age with Bark. [31:43] What parents should be doing on the sidelines. [34:36] The car ride home: three things you should ALWAYS say. [35:42] When and how to give feedback the right way. [38:44] Using a 5-to-1 positivity ratio to help kids grow. [41:22] Being an "obnoxious encourager." [43:33] The power of tone and why it changes everything. [45:04] When coaches only play to win—and your kid never gets in. [47:04] Teaching kids to advocate for themselves, age by age. [49:20] How ADHD affects emotional regulation in sports. [53:14] The long-tail impact of how we parent through sports. [54:18] Generational change starts with how we show up today.     Five Key Takeaways Kids quit because the game stops being fun—not because of screens, school, or injuries. Pressure from adults is the biggest culprit.  Travel sports demand 6–15 hours per week before adding training or lessons, often at the cost of family dinners and downtime.  Overuse injuries are exploding in kids as young as 9 due to year-round seasons and lack of rest.  Parents often push due to fear, self-validation, or scholarship fantasies, even though less than 5% of athletes ever receive any scholarship money.  The car ride home should NEVER be coaching time. The only things kids need to hear are: "I loved watching you play," "Where do you want to eat?" and "What do you want to listen to?"      Links & Resources Bark Monitoring for Families: https://thedadedge.com/bark Healthy Sports Parents (Jonathan Carone): https://healthysportsparents.com Healthy Sports Parents on Social: https://www.instagram.com/healthysportsparents/ Episode Show Notes: https://thedadedge.com/1413     Closing Remark If this episode gave you a new perspective on supporting your youth athlete, take a moment to rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Thing Discussed: Proportioning outrage: Sherrone, the maximum. Athletics department? Don't know but suspect people knew for a long time and didn't react until they got information they had to act on. The assistant he had an affair with? We don't know—not exonerated but also let's be conscious that sharing her name and photo and history of an unfamous person irreversibly makes her famous for This, for life. It also has a chill effect on other women caught in illicit relationships with powerful men, and we have a public interest in making sure that math favors coming forward, not participating in the cover-up. What is going on here that we don't have a control mechanism? Brian: I don't trust Warde in this situation because we saw the process for Mel Pearson. No faith this was handled appropriately. Who lied to you Sam? Sam: for certain, Sherrone lied. That wasn't the only basis for his report. Michigan investigated or "looked into it" and they didn't have credible evidence until yesterday when the woman came forward. (He doesn't say this but I took it to mean she lied to the investigators originally).  Brian: Warde Manuel has done nothing in 11 years but bumble from one crises to another. Sam: A coverup did take place, between the involved parties. What could Michigan have done to reveal it? We don't know. What brought it to light was she came forward. Argument with Craig over the Wilmer Hale report over Mel Pearson: Craig doesn't like the report, argues for due process; Brian and Seth found the report credible and included you-have-to-fire-him level offenses, and Warde sat on it for months. Other Thing Discussed: Candidates Kalen DeBoer: If he'll listen. Minter: think we can work around the show-cause, might not be able to work around the fact he's in line for NFL jobs. Jeff Brohm: Proven coach, Louisville alum but would listen. Jason Eck: Former Wisconsin OL and line coach who's a cultural fit, only been a HC for 4 years and only New Mexico for one year. Think he's a Harbaugh after 1 year at Stanford. Wildcard: Jay Harbaugh. Bad ideas are bad ideas. Seth notes insanity is possible, e.g. John Harbaugh might come available. Also hiring a coach these days won't be on the AD; you bring in consultants for this sort of thing. It's a much better job than PSU right now, or the last 3 Michigan coaching searches when we were trying to replace Lloyd Carr without paying anybody, trying to find someone who will debase himself to work for Dave Brandon, or Harbaugh-or-bust with a program coming out of a Hoke low. Michigan job today is you get to pick your staff, maybe pick your AD, and inherit Bryce Underwood and a roster built for success with a top 2 or 3 (maybe even #1) NIL war chest. Will DeBoer listen? Math has changed: Alabama fans are holding him to an unreasonable standard based on what Saban did during a time when Alabama had more advantages over Michigan than they did now. Sam: Think DeBoer will listen. If not for that Playoff selection they were ready to run him out of town. People there are expecting him to have the success Saban had in a system that does not afford him the same advantages that Nick Saban had. Brohm will listen too. Sam: Loves Brent Key (also his alma mater), but how much of his success is Hayes King? Lea same thing; why not hire Diego Pavia. Floor: Jedd Fisch, is fine, not a high ceiling, or might be. He's done what we would want to see at Arizona and Washington.

The Mountaineer basketball team gets one final swing at a marquee non-conference win Saturday when West Virginia meets Ohio State in Cleveland. It's a classic strength-on-strength matchup: the Buckeyes enter as one of the nation's most potent offenses, while WVU owns the country's No. 2 scoring defense.Something will have to give.In this episode, the “Guys” dig into the analytics and outline the subtle shifts that may be tilting momentum in West Virginia's direction.Listener questions and comments round out the show.

This week on the California Sports Lawyer Podcast, host Jeremy Evans breaks down the rise of the "franchise sports studio" — how leagues, teams, and media partners are quietly rebuilding sports to look a lot more like Hollywood. Using the new UFC–Paramount deal as a roadmap, Jeremy explores how live games and fights are becoming the tentpole "blockbusters", surrounded by year-round universes of shoulder programming, docuseries, origin stories, rivalries, and archival content that keep fans locked in between events. We unpack how this shift is reshaping dealmaking: rights packages moving from "games only" to "games plus universe," athletes being treated as long-term IP with life story and likeness rights in play, and why control over the narrative engine around a property is becoming as valuable as the event itself. Jeremy explains what this means for leagues, athletes, streamers, networks, and sponsors — from contract negotiation and editorial control to NIL leverage, brand building, and new revenue streams across platforms. Finally, we look ahead at where the franchise sports studio model goes from here: more crossovers between sports and entertainment, deeper integration of archives and storytelling, and how stakeholders can protect competitive integrity while still embracing cinematic, year-round engagement. If you care about where the business of sports is headed — and who owns the stories that keep fans watching — this episode is for you. (Season 7, Episode 48). Copyright 2025.

On today' Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and the Go-2-Guy Jim Moore spend a lot of time discussing whether or not Rick Neuheisel would be a good fit at Washington State.  Jim is all on board with the hire, but Puck is concerned about the packaged deal with his son Jerry.  Jim contends they need a splash and money more than anything else, but Puck thinks it's all about wins and culture that will carry the team.  Puck discusses Boise State and was shocked to learn that they only spend $2 million in NIL.  How come they are so much more successful than the Cougs with a lesser NIL deal?  Puck and Jim also discuss Phillip Rivers coming back to face the Seahawks, winter meetings update with the M's and Jorge Polanco and Puck went and watched the number-one player in America for high school basketball, senior Tyran Stokes of Rainier Beach and reported back that you better catch him now! Puck wraps up with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   Jorge Polanco needs to be a priority. (1:00) Puck and Jim (1:14:00)  “Hey, What the Puck!” 

The hour kicks off with Boomer hilariously comparing the band GWAR to the Ninja Turtles and Kiss. Then, a caller brings the focus back to Mets anxiety: losing homegrown Pete Alonso would hurt worse than any free-agent miss. As Boomer assures listeners the Mets will spend, Jerry returns with an update featuring Sal Licata shouting "Good Riddance" to Edwin Díaz and an infuriated Frank The Tank. Closing the hour, Troy Aikman blasts the state of NIL, revealing he's "done" giving money after not even receiving a thank you note. Utah sells a piece of its athletic department to a private equity firm.
