Former longtime Colorado State athletics beat reporter Matt Stephens joins the show for a candid, wide-ranging conversation on CSU athletics and the state of college sports. He tells stories from the infamous Jim McElwain departure and Jack Graham a decade ago, breaks down the Jim Mora hire and reported coordinator moves, and whether CSU is truly maximizing its expanded coaching salary pool. We also talk CSU men’s basketball, Tad Boyle’s recent comments, and why Ali Farokmanesh’s portal approach has paid immediate dividends. Lastly we tackle major issues facing college football, including the latest NIL chaos, transfer tampering, private equity, and a future playoff system shifting back toward the power leagues — and how college football can fix what’s becoming a broken product.
