Podcasts about Power five

ITL dives into the changing landscape of college athletics and argues that, unpopular as it may be, the NCAA, Power Five conferences, and university administrators may actually be handling the current chaos correctly. The guys discuss whether college football and sports as a whole are at a crossroads, what the future holds for revenue sharing and player movement, and whether schools like Texas Tech University ultimately have no choice but to adapt to the new reality. Is there any turning back, or is this simply the next evolution of college sports? Then it's Figgy's Mixtape, featuring a game of Real Town or Fake Town, as Reggie and Lopez try to determine which locations are legitimate and which are completely made up.

The conversation then shifts to the NBA Finals after the San Antonio Spurs beat the New York Knicks in Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, with ITL breaking down what the result means for the series and whether momentum has officially shifted. The guys and listeners also share examples for the QOTD: What ruins a party for you?

Later, ITL reacts to what Ryans had to say during his final media session before training camp, discussing the biggest takeaways from Day 1 of mandatory minicamp and what Texans fans should make of the team's progress heading into the summer break.

In this final deep dive of the Victorian Spiritualism series, Ashleigh closes the séance room door—then opens something much bigger: power. Victorian Spiritualism wasn't only about ghosts, raps, and ectoplasm. It was also a rare cultural doorway where women could claim spiritual and intellectual authority in a society that restricted their public voice.This episode is structured around five archetypes—five women, five expressions of spiritual authority, five ways of stepping through the veil:The 5 Archetypes & Featured WomenThe Trance Speaker: Cora L. V. Scott (Cora Hatch) (1840–1923) — trance lecturing as a “loophole” for women to teach philosophy publiclyThe Movement Builder: Emma Hardinge Britten (1823–1899) — turning Spiritualism into infrastructure through writing, history, and organizingThe Esoteric Architect: Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891) — building cosmology and founding the Theosophical SocietyThe Embodied Medium: Florence Cook (c.1856–1904) — materialization séances, “Katie King,” and the gendered scrutiny of embodied powerThe Symbolic Visionary: Pamela Coleman Smith (“Pixie”) (1878–1951) — the creative force behind the most influential modern tarot template (and the long erasure of her credit)Episode highlightsWhy Victorian Spiritualism created a socially “acceptable” way for women to speak publiclyHow trance lecturing became power-through-plausible-deniabilityThe moment Spiritualism shifts from parlor spectacle into worldview and philosophyA beginner-friendly explanation of what the Theosophical Society was (and why it mattered)The high-stakes tension of physical mediumship—and why women's bodies became the battleground for beliefWhy Pamela Coleman Smith's illustrated minors changed tarot forever (and why that matters for modern intuitive reading)Series wrap + what's nextThis episode ties a bow on the Victorian Spiritualism series—and then gently opens the next doorway. April's theme: exploring the fairy realm—folklore, threshold spaces, the wild edges of the unseen, and the places where reality feels thin in a different way.Mentioned / referencedAshleigh's interview with Steele Alexandra Douris (Spirits, Seers, & Séances) — the Fox Sisters + Victorian Spiritualism overviewIsis Unveiled (1877) and The Secret Doctrine (1888) — Helena BlavatskyRider–Waite–Smith / Waite–Smith Tarot — Pamela Coleman Smith's legacyConnect + support the showIf you loved this series finale, please follow/subscribe and leave a review—it helps Big Crystal Energy reach more magical souls.

International Women's Day 2026 Celebration Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Joleen Loh, Curator, National Gallery Singapore to talk about their latest exhibit "Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise". The exhibition brings together over 45 major artworks and more than 110 rarely seen archival materials from five groundbreaking Southeast Asian women artists: Amanda Heng (Singapore), Dolorosa Sinaga (Indonesia), Imelda Cajipe Endaya (Philippines), Nirmala Dutt (Malaysia), and Phaptawan Suwannakudt (Thailand). Many of these works are being shown in Singapore for the first time. "Fear No Power" is the Gallery’s first comparative exhibition of women artists from across the region, a rare opportunity to see how each artist used art as a form of resistance, social engagement, and collective care. Through performance, sculpture, painting, and mixed media, these women challenged gender norms, confronted political realities, and reimagined the worlds they lived in. Joleen shares how the exhibition invites visitors to slow down, look closely, and uncover the layered meanings behind each work, from personal histories to national narratives. It’s a powerful reminder of how art can question, provoke, and ultimately reshape the way we see ourselves and our societies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth welcome Galen Clavio to dive deep into whether Curt Cignetti's hire represents the greatest turnaround in college football history, explore what the numbers actually say, and discuss how a basketball school winning a football national championship changes everything.Still Processing the ImpossibleThe trio opens by admitting they're all still struggling to process what just happened—and it's not just IU fans. Galen notes the rest of college football can't wrap their heads around it either, with people still joking online like "imagine if Indiana was good enough to win a national title—oh wait." They discuss how Cignetti created belief in the fan base through a steady boil rather than a flash fry, and how by the Ohio State game, IU fans had crossed the threshold from "I can't believe we're here" to "I can't wait to kick their butts."The Basketball SituationBefore diving into football greatness, the conversation detours into IU basketball's current state. Galen questions why IU continues struggling to recruit the athletic players that Texas Tech, Alabama, and other programs seem to land consistently—a problem that's plagued multiple coaches. Bob notes the team lacks identity and feels mercurial, though the Purdue win showed what's possible when everything clicks. Mike explains this was always a "proof of concept" roster with a fixed ceiling, and the portal additions next year should stabilize things.Quantifying GreatnessMike breaks out the data comparing Cignetti to legendary coaches:Only five coaches in history won 90%+ of games in their first two years—Barry Switzer, Larry Coker, Ryan Day, Urban Meyer, and Terry BowdenAll of them inherited rosters loaded with NFL players (Coker inherited 34 future NFL players at Miami, including 13 Pro Bowlers)Cignetti inherited maybe a handful at best, then had to build through the portal on a condensed timelineWhen comparing first championship timelines, only Urban Meyer matched Cignetti's two-year mark among modern coachesThe kicker: Cignetti's 61-point variance above IU's 50-year baseline (32% to 93%) has never been done before—not even closeThe Bill Snyder ComparisonMike reveals the closest historical comparison is Bill Snyder at Kansas State, widely considered one of the greatest turnaround artists ever. But even Snyder started 6-16 in his first two years before building to sustained success. The difference? Snyder's best Kansas State teams (like the 11-1 squad in 1998) still fell short in championship moments. Cignetti didn't just match the journey—he completed it by winning the whole thing in year two.The Basketball School ParadoxBob introduces the revelation that IU is the first basketball blue blood to win a football national championship. Not Kentucky, not North Carolina, not Kansas—Indiana. Galen explores what this means for redefining IU's identity, noting that if you asked every 60-year-old alum at Power Five schools to stand if they've seen their team win both a football and basketball title, only three would stand: IU, Florida, and Michigan. The conversation turns philosophical about whether IU can maintain elite football success while not choking off oxygen for basketball and other sports—a question no basketball school has ever had to answer before.The Providence FactorMike emphasizes to IU fans: this is not normal. Most fan bases never see their team win a national championship in their lifetime, and many programs' titles came before their current fans were born. The group discusses how IU's championship breaks all the meters for measuring greatness, with Galen noting there's an open debate about whether this was the greatest college football team of all time—a sentence that would have seemed like satire just two years ago.This episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Home Field Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this special Thanksgiving episode of Wisdom's Table, Rachel Wortman delves into the transformative power of gratitude and its profound impact on our lives as Christians. As we gather around the table to celebrate this holiday, I want to shift our focus from the traditional elements of Thanksgiving—like turkey, pie, and football—to the spiritual power that the act of giving thanks can unlock in our lives. Throughout the episode, we explore five hidden powers that Thanksgiving activates, emphasizing that these are not just feel-good sentiments but essential spiritual strategies that can reshape our hearts and minds. We begin by discussing how Thanksgiving opens the gate to God's presence, illustrating this with powerful scriptures such as Psalm 100:4-5 and Philippians 4:6-7. We emphasize that the act of giving thanks is a key that allows us to enter into a deeper relationship with God, inviting His presence into our lives.     Interested in working with Rachel in her 1:1 coaching or in her group?

(And stay til the end for a special opportunity!!!)

In this episode of The Player Development Pod, I pull back the curtain on what it's really like to work for a head coach who doesn't understand player development.From being left off the schedule to having your professional growth stunted, these are the eight hard truths I've learned in my career — and what they mean for your role:1️⃣ They are either for you or against you2️⃣ They will say they get it3️⃣ They believe they're putting you in the best position4️⃣ They get territorial5️⃣ They can stunt your professional growth6️⃣ You won't be a priority on the schedule7️⃣ They won't take time to see how you impact the program8️⃣ They don't understand the value you bring as a professionalIf you're in this field, knowing these truths will help you navigate tough situations and still create impact. If you're a coach, this might change the way you lead your program.

In this episode, Edward dives deep into the why behind strategy in player development.Many programs rely on good people doing good things — but without strategy, the work lacks staying power. He shares four critical reasons why strategy is the key to sustainable and scalable impact:Player development is often misunderstoodStrategy allows for intentional impactStrategy supports data and follow-upStrategy creates opportunity for resources and support

On Episode 130 of the Athletor Podcast, we're joined by Nick Brascetta, Associate Head Coach at the University of Maryland.

If you're looking for insights into what it really takes to elevate a Big Ten wrestling program, this one's a must-listen.

What does true player development look like? In this episode, I share the 3 core pillars that shaped the Beyond the Field program during my time at the University of Houston, Kansas, and Baylor.From financial wellness to community outreach to real career placement—we cover it all.

For the first time ever, Beyond the Field hit the road to spend intentional time with a college football program — and our first stop was Duke University.In this reflection episode, I highlight the four biggest takeaways from my visit:1️⃣ John Battle – His journey from player to pro to Director of Player Development2️⃣ Coach Manny Diaz – A head coach who truly gets the power of off-the-field growth3️⃣ Duke Student-Athletes – Locked in, respectful, elite minds who showed up for Leadership Week4️⃣ The City of Durham – Great food, amazing people, and a true college town vibeThis was a milestone moment for Beyond the Field — the first time we've followed a program from the inside. And it won't be the last.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comThe American Athletic Conference was by far the best non-power conference of the early College Football Playoff era. Its best teams were nationally relevant. Many programs were on the rise, and so were the league's coaches, who went on to Power Five jobs and then got replaced by coaches who often did the same.Lately, things have not gone as well. The American lost its best teams to the Big 12, and the programs that backfilled those spots have yet to show anything. The hiring train of AAC coaches has slowed down, and the conference has moved backward while several non-power programs outside the league have ascended. The best program in the league, Memphis, is trying hard to get out.The league literally renamed itself last week, going away from “AAC” and opting to just be called “the American.” As the league literally redefines itself, Godfrey joins Alex and Richard for a discussion of how the American got here and where it might be going over the next few years.Producer: Anthony Vito

The Story That Sparked It AllIn this episode of The Player Development Pod, I take you back to the moment that changed everything for me. A 1990s Houston Cougar football legend—once celebrated, now broken—returned to campus for an alumni event. Homeless. Overweight. Forgotten.Watching him cry while his teammates looked on in sadness wrecked me.How could this happen to someone whose name is still in our record books?That moment ignited something inside me. It became my why.I left the coaching path and stepped into player development to ensure athletes are supported holistically for life—not just during their playing days.This is the moment that changed my career—and I hope it changes how you see player development too.-BOOK - Get YOUR copy of the Beyond The Field Player Development Guide: https://amzn.to/3TtnaA8SIGNED BOOK - Get a SIGNED copy here: https://www.btfprogram.com/btf-program-resources/p/the-player-development-guide Player Development Newsletter: https://beyondthefield.substack.com/ Player Development Plan Course: https://btfplayerdevelopmentcourses.thinkific.com/courses/player-development-plan-beginnersAbout Ed Jones IIFounder | Educator | Culture Builder | Voice of the Player Development MovementEd Jones II is a globally respected authority in player development—known not just for what he does, but for how he builds people.

In this episode, we explore how young coaches—especially those close in age to their athletes—can be powerful assets in any program.From connecting over shared life experiences like academics, mental health, and social media to leading by example through maturity, young coaches have the ability to care, communicate, and empower like few others can.Whether you're coaching your former teammates or stepping into a staff role for the first time, this episode reminds you that you don't have to wait years to make a difference—you just have to show up with intention.

Why don't coaches get player development? And is that… our fault?In this episode, I take a raw and honest look at one of the biggest disconnects in athletics: the gap between player development and coaching. While other departments speak clearly about their contributions—coaches talk wins, academics talk GPAs, nutrition talks health—player development is often left in the shadows.I dive into:Why the value of player development isn't obvious (and why that's a problem)The three steps we must take to clearly communicate our impactHow to translate our work into metrics, stories, and language coaches understandAnd why our silence is costing us influence and respectThis episode is adapted from my latest LinkedIn newsletter and is a must-listen for any current or aspiring player development professional ready to elevate their voice and claim their seat at the table.Get Your Copy of the BOOK - The Player Development Guide: https://amzn.to/4ju6ov3Player Development Newsletter: https://beyondthefield.substack.com/ Player Development Plan Course: https://btfplayerdevelopmentcourses.thinkific.com/courses/player-development-plan-beginnersAbout Ed Jones IIFounder | Educator | Culture Builder | Voice of the Player Development MovementEd Jones II is a nationally respected authority in player development—known not just for what he does, but for how he builds people.
