In today's episode, we're breaking down Pete Thamel's latest report and what it means for the future of the Big 12 & WVU football. If the SEC and Big Ten are preparing for a full-scale breakaway, where does that leave West Virginia and the conference they call home? In this episode, we discuss: The Tampering "Free-for-All": Why the Big Ten wants to stop investigations and how this legalizes poaching players from schools like WVU. The Breakaway Blueprint: Is the SEC/Big Ten "Joint Advisory Group" actually a shadow government for a new Super League? WVU's Survival Strategy: Can Brett Yormark and the Big 12 keep pace with the "Power 2" revenue gap, or is the gap becoming an uncrossable canyon? The Mountaineers have survived realignment before, but this might be the toughest climb yet. Let's talk about it. In the second half of the show, Couz will talk about two WVU football players who may have earned themselves a spot on NFL rosters. West Virginia had their pro day early this week and two players stood out above the rest. Couz will tell you why Michael Coats Jr. and Jeff Weimer had such good days and could play at the next level. _____________________________________________________ Sources: Song: Smoke Rising Music by: CreatorMix.com Video: https://youtu.be/_oaZzkn0bW4 WV SportsNow: https://wvsportsnow.com/results-of-big-return-of-wvu-pro-day/ ESPN: https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/48179606/big-ten-asks-ncaa-pause-tampering-inquiries-revamp-rules CBS Sports: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2026-nfl-combine-results-full-list-measurements-40-times/ _____________________________________________________ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole Couz's Corner Merch Store: https://couz-shop.fourthwall.com/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGQsDxC1nVegCKqyoMKnL9w/join Other Ways To contribute to the channel: Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Justin-Walker-516 PayPal: https://paypal.me/couzscorner?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Fanatics link: http://fanatics.93n6tx.net/eKxbVr Subscribe: https://youtube.com/c/CouzsCornerSports Socials: Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/couzwalker TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@couzscorner?
