Nebraska Football fans, we're breaking down Stewart Mandel's 10 Commandments to fix college football and what each one means for the Huskers, the Big Ten, and the future of the sport. We get into whether the SEC has actually lost its grip on college football, why the 12-team playoff needs to grow to 16, and why those first-round byes keep blowing up in everyone's faces. From there it's campus quarterfinals, killing the FCS cupcake game, the NIL Go clearinghouse mess and the Nebraska lawsuit that could blow the whole thing up, plus the five-for-five eligibility rule and what it means for guys like Cam Lenhart, Andrew Marshall, and Anthony Cavalleri. We hammer the case for a real college football commissioner, a players union, and actual contracts so the transfer portal stops being a free-for-all every January. Matt Rhule called it "professional collegiate football" on the Sharp & Benning show this week and yeah, that's exactly what it is. Treat it that way. We also hit the Trey Taylor Rivals camp QB MVP news, the dumb spoof story about Dylan Raiola bolting Oregon for Texas Tech after the Brennan Saurusbee stuff, and why the preseason AP poll needs to die or at least wait three weeks. Oh, and Nick Saban or Pat McAfee for commissioner? Hard pass on both. 00:00 Intro and Thanks for Sticking Around 02:00 Has the SEC Lost Its Luster? 04:37 12-Team Playoff or Go to 16? 10:20 Quarterfinals on Campus, Kill the Bye 18:30 Two Super Conferences Are Coming 28:30 NIL Go, the Clearinghouse, and the Nebraska Lawsuit 35:20 Five-for-Five and What It Means for Cam Lenhart 35:50 Rhule Said It: Professional Collegiate Football If you enjoyed this episode, please Like and Subscribe! #gbr #huskers #nebraska #cfb #b1g Learn more about your ad choices.

Galen Clavio reacts to Stewart Mandel's profile of Curt Cignetti and uses it as a jumping-off point for a bigger conversation about Indiana football's stunning rise, the confidence driving the program, and the challenge of sustaining success after a national championship season.This episode looks at Cignetti's process, the idea of “controlled arrogance,” the parallels to Bob Knight-era Indiana basketball, and why IU's next challenge may be even harder than the climb itself. Galen also reflects on how far CrimsonCast — and Indiana football fans — have come from the low point of 2023 to the top of the sport.
