Ole Miss football general manager Billy Glasscock followed Lane Kiffin to LSU. The Rebels have interest in a reunion with Austin Thomas, among others. However, for the time being, they've had to make it work with the people actually in the building, including a shift in focus for Matt McLaughlin. McLaughlin serves as Ole Miss senior associate athletics director for strategy and cap management. He and Walker Jones, who heads up the Grove Collective, have taken up temporary offices at the Manning Center to lead the roster-building efforts in lieu of an interim general manager. Ole Miss signed 17 2026 recruits on Wednesday, the first of the Early Signing Period. The Rebels have room to add, too — then comes the NCAA Transfer Portal in January.McLaughlin joined the Ole Miss Spirit's Ben Garrett for a ‘Talk of Champions' podcast to discuss. He also touched on current-roster retention and much, much more. ToC is powered by RiverLand Roofing. Call or text them today at 662-644-4297.

In this month's Current Campus Context, Heather Shea is joined by correspondents Dr. Felecia Commodore and Dr. Brendan Cantwell to make sense of four major forces reshaping higher education right now: sharp declines in international enrollment and heightened immigration enforcement; a proposed federal redefinition of “professional degree” that could limit graduate student borrowing and access to high-need fields; deepening budget cuts and staff reductions affecting student-facing roles; and major shifts in college athletics as NIL changes and recent legal cases raise new questions about equity, compliance, and institutional accountability. Together, they explore what these developments mean for student affairs educators, how institutions are responding in real time, and what to watch as the semester comes to a close.

This week on the California Sports Lawyer Podcast, host Jeremy Evans unpacks the fast-moving "shadow library" controversy now reshaping generative AI. After a major court setback for OpenAI, the spotlight is on the allegedly unlicensed books and internet materials used to train large language models (LLM)—and why "chain of title" for data is becoming the next legal battleground. We dig into how a pay-to-license future could trigger a full-blown licensing gold rush, turning clean, cleared datasets into the most valuable asset in AI. Jeremy explains what this means for platform costs, access, and the next wave of dealmaking—especially for entertainment, media, and sports libraries packed with talent NIL and archival content. Finally, we look ahead: possible policy and market solutions (from opt-out training exemptions to rights societies, dataset marketplaces, and even blockchain-verified licensing), and why lawmakers and developers must balance enforcement with public access and innovation. If you care about who gets paid when AI "uses" human creativity—and who gets to build the future—this episode is for you. (Season 7, Episode 47). Copyright 2025. California Sports Lawyer.

New Arkansas head football coach Ryan Silverfield sits down for his first in-depth conversation since arriving in Fayetteville, opening up about the whirlwind transition from Memphis, the moment he knew the Arkansas job was real, and why he believes the Hogs are primed for a breakthrough. Silverfield details his unconventional rise—from a career-ending high school injury to becoming the youngest position coach in college football, to seven years in the NFL, to leading Memphis to multiple 10-win seasons. He explains the work ethic that has driven him since age 18 ("I'd do this job for free") and the mentality behind his program's core mantra: ALL IN. He breaks down how he approaches roster building in the NIL/portal era, how he evaluates current players, and what he's looking for in his staff. Silverfield also shares personal stories—raising 10-month-old identical twin girls, his love for dogs, and a few surprising chapters from his life he's saving for future episodes. Most importantly, Silverfield delivers a direct message to Razorback fans: he knows the frustration, he embraces the challenge, and he's here to work relentlessly, build relationships, and win championships.

The best team cultures realize that recruiting isn't transactional. It's transformational and impacted by how we lead, serve and compete as a team. Episode Summary: Is "transformational recruiting" dead in the age of the Transfer Portal and NIL? In this episode, Jason sits down with college basketball legend and CBS Sports analyst Clark Kellogg to dismantle the idea that leadership has become purely transactional. They explore why culture remains the ultimate competitive advantage for any team—whether on the court or in the corporate boardroom. Clark shares his personal philosophy on being a "faithful presence" amidst chaos, the rise of servant leadership in modern coaching, and how to maintain deep human connection in a fast-paced world. Tune in for a masterclass on stewardship, influence, and building teams that last. Key Takeaways & Timestamps: [00:05:26] Beyond the Analyst Desk: Clark reveals the side of him most fans don't see—including his "silly" side and his obsession with order and details. [00:07:48] The "Faithful Presence" Philosophy: Clark breaks down his personal definition of success: being a faithful presence of the "fruit of the spirit" (patience, kindness, self-control) in every room he enters, from the airport to the studio. [00:13:20] Servant Leadership Defined: Why the most effective leaders today aren't "top-of-the-pyramid" authoritarians, but influencers who focus on moving their people "up and forward." [00:19:00] Examples of Excellence: A look at modern coaching cultures that win by putting people first, featuring insights on Ryan Day (Ohio State), Kelvin Sampson (Houston), and Shaka Smart (Marquette). [00:22:54] The Great Debate: Transactional vs. Transformational: Jason and Clark push back on the narrative that recruiting is now solely transactional. They discuss why high-performers still choose culture and development over a quick paycheck. [00:30:28] The Gonzaga Case Study: How a commitment to culture transformed a small school in Spokane into a national powerhouse and 4x'd the university's budget. [00:36:31] The Power of Connection: Clark discusses his current passion for connecting good people to good causes through his work with the Columbus Foundation. Quotable Moments: "Leadership really is influence... committed to the responsibility you have to elevate and serve those entrusted to your care." "Culture is your greatest competitive advantage."

Send JD a text message and be heard!#dalebliss from @fansided #autzenzoo covered @oregonfootball before the penultimate #cfp rankings tonight & they should have a home game @autzen.stadium in the first round. @btmcgraw is ecstatic #willstein is taking his offensive talents to @ukfootball next year but will still coach the Ducks during the postseason. Dale and I agree the #transferportal #signingday & coaching hires should be after the season. He proposed the natty should be #newyearsday at @rosebowlstadium which I agreed. Plus @thereallanekiffin @dantemoore will he enter #nfldraft Oregon's 2026 recruiting class including @_.jett_ 7 & #anthonyjones CFB #coachingcarousel #marcusmariota looking quite capable for @commanders & @bonix10 leading 10-2 @broncos to 9th straight win.All sports.

Send JD a text message and be heard!@thereallanekiffin GO FUDGE YOURSELF! But are we shocked? He always is looking for the next great job. I feel bad for the @olemissfb players. 11-1 season, #cfp on the horizon. School hasn't won a natty since 1960. @companyadjace @downtimetv @brianbarnaby brought up an excellent idea #signingday coaches hiring & #transferportal all should be done after the season is OVER. It's not fair to the teams. @greenwavefb with #jonsumrall should be preparing for @american_conf chip game Friday night vs @meangreenfb with both coaches moving on to greener pastures. I know it's a business and players are moving every year too. Kiffin the way he moved on really burned me. Thanks @partylikearochkind for taking me to @texasfootball 27-17 over @aggiefootball Friday night. @mattfarragher joined us too. An Aggies fan said @archmanning is a trust fund QB. I feel he has a lot of things to work on to take his game to the next level. Texas playing @ohiostatefb opening game is great for the sport. Enough with the cream puffs. But I'm don't think we have 12 strong playoff teams. I hope I'm proved wrong. @rob.p1156 @sfniners__vault @tristate_fittedz @ateegz @donna.fender @nyquil_inthe_flesh @call_me_tca_prez @thomaswdonovan & @bmtlive07 talked #cfb @nygiants vs @patriots MNF @panthers upset @rams @broncos 10-2 behind @bonix10 beat @commanders SNF @philadelphiaeagles @brandonfurtado2 going to lose his mind @nyknicks @nyrangers #sportstrivia & barns telling me about his sports stadium trips.All sports.

Lane Kiffin's move to LSU is the main financial story of the week, with the hosts confirming he signed a $91 million, seven-year contract at $13 million annually, a figure usually reserved for coaches with national championships. While debating if Kiffin deserves the money, they generally agree LSU is a superior job with more resources and a massive 102,000-person stadium, making it the better choice for long-term success compared to Ole Miss's 60,000-person stadium. Pope points out Kiffin's departure was particularly messy because he leveraged his position and took several offensive staff members with him, effectively "decimating" the Ole Miss offense. The most crucial detail of Kiffin's hiring saga is his refusal to accept the University of Florida's condition of having a general manager. Milk, initially disappointed in losing Kiffin, admits that hiring a GM is now a necessity, as the coach should be focused on beating opponents like LSU, not managing NIL, contracts, and the transfer portal, which is the GM's job. Bison argues that Kiffin's demand for full control over a program, therefore, makes him a "disaster" for the new era of college football. Beyond the headlines, the guys get into the ridiculousness of the current NCAA calendar and take a vote on whether this level of coaching carousel chaos will finally force a change. Plus, it wouldn't be an episode without the picks! Don't miss the breakdown of the "Short Timers Bowl" featuring two teams whose coaches are leaving, the debate over whether Ohio State is actually any good, and all of the college football picks for the week. Grab your drink and settle in for a barn burner!

The crew is back with another wildly honest and culturally charged episode of the Bad Speakers Podcast — where barbershop talk meets real life. This week, the guys dive into the hottest topics in relationships, hip-hop, sports, and social culture with raw opinions, humor, and unapologetic perspective. The conversation kicks off with a heated debate: Does age gap matter in dating, and who suffers more without a father figure — boys or girls? From viral clips to lived experiences, the guys break down modern relationships, masculinity, and family dynamics in the Black community. They also react to a controversial viral moment where a woman claims children are not a blessing from God, just the result of sex, sparking a bigger conversation about faith, responsibility, and modern parenting. In sports, they unpack the beef between Draymond Green and Kenyon Martin, plus Dwyane Wade's comments on the Michael Jordan vs LeBron James GOAT debate. And after a rough season, the crew asks: Is Deion Sanders' window closing at Colorado, or is it just the beginning? College football gets spicy as rumors swirl around Lane Kiffin landing a $100M deal with LSU and potentially dominating the NIL era. NFL Week 13 gets a full breakdown — from Shedeur Sanders' second start, to whether Mike Tomlin's time in Pittsburgh is over, and why Aaron Rodgers might finally be cooked. On the music side, Juelz Santana claims kids don't need to read, and the guys debate whether it's trolling or a deeper cultural issue. And finally, they react to a wild twist: Diddy's documentary reportedly being produced by 50 Cent — his biggest rival. This episode has unfiltered opinions, comedy, cultural critique, and real talk that you don't get anywhere else. FOLLOW US⬇️ Ya Boi Shad - https://www.instagram.com/itsyaboishad/ G.
