Late posting but the show goes on. We recap the Round 1 games from the College Football Playoff. This leads into a broader discussion about the Group of 5(soon to be 6)'s involvement in the future of the playoff, and how some are driving the narrative based on selfishness, not facts.

Plus, Texas A&M wins the volleyball national title to complete an all-time tourney run, the FCS title game is set, and in our FRI, the Leathernecks are in trouble.

We have a very special episode today as we are joined by Brynn Richter. Not only a former boss of mine, but a veteran of the college athletics administration game. She also happens to be married to a D1 Basketball coach.

We discuss the current state of college athletics, success and failures of the current college athletic framework, the stresses of moving around due to her husband's profession and much much more.

It was so great to catch-up with her and I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Thursday show is up, and a new national champion has been crowned in college sports, in a thrilling OT finale.

We'll look ahead to the sports weekend, that starts tonight with volleyball semis and runs Fri-Sun with Round 1 of the CFP. We'll take a look at each game.

Our FRI is that the Show-Cause Order has been defeated in court, we'll explain what happened and what it means for the future of NCAA enforcement (and our show title)

Plus, more discussion of the flawed CFP Committee's process, the fallacy of thinking computer rankings can be the sole determination for playoff rankings, and how a member of this year's committee explains that the process in the room was as bad as we thought.

A new week and a new outlook on the state of college sports.

While the Michigan Scandal and Private Equity elements of college sports can lend to a gloomy outlook, there are some great things going on in college sports.

Fall Championship season continues to deliver as the FCS playoffs and volleyball tournament are into a final four, with volleyball having a pair of upsets, including an all-time upset of the #1 team.

We also discuss ND toning it down, Mendoza winning the Heisman, and then the negative turn of the Michigan scandal and the Big 12 taking a run with private equity.

Can college athletic departments get their spending in line? A guy can dream, right?

After a quiet episode about the College Football Playoff, so much has happened.

We have not only playoff bluster, but playoff antagonism against the CFP and the ACC from Notre Dame. Do they deserve special treatment? (No, but they are pining for it anyway).

The Notre Dame (non) controversy has led many to question where the CFP should go from here. We explore that along with the bowls losing their meaning and how conference championship weekend could be altered to mean more.

The Rubicon of Private Equity has been crossed, how will it fair in Utah?

We briefly touch on the Michigan situation and a Fall Championship update.

The Playoff Bracket is out for College Football and people are mad, people are happy, but mostly, people are wondering why the process played out like it did.

We recap conference championship Saturday and what the final rankings were and discuss the great debate of the three last teams for the last two at-large bids.

How was the committee's process like the time I was given a beer in 8th grade? Listen to find out!

The College Football Playoff Committee is making it up as they go, and that is not the design of their own protocols, which you can view here.

The latest rankings continue to perplex, with the key element being the ignoring of a head to head match-up. We look at the rankings, what could happen, and preview conference championship Friday/Saturday.

College Basketball has given us with a good number of early season match-ups, some teams are standing out, while the Big East is quiet.

Also, Score Act update, it's actually worked its way to Congress.

Plus, a Fall sports championship update!

A lack of chaos on the field this past holiday weekend has led to a magnification of the problems of bloated conferences and consistency in choosing playoff teams. Just as I feared when I did my big playoff episode in the summer, we have a rudderless and nonsensical selection process and just a few weeks left to see how it plays out.

The ACC is in a state of chaos that it made itself, another in a long line of missteps and blunders by the conference. It could leave them (unfairly) out of the playoffs. If only they could have looked at their tiebreaker scenarios and change them like other conferences did.
