College Football Playoff Expansion Talk, Draymond Green Re-Signs with Warriors, and Raiders Plan to Start Cousins at QB

Joy Taylor recaps last season’s 12-team College Football Playoff, including Miami’s run to the title game and Indiana winning the championship, then discusses looming playoff expansion led by Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti as early as 2027, including the possibility of dropping conference championship games—an idea she dislikes despite supporting more meaningful late-season games and acknowledging money will drive changes. She shifts to the NBA, noting the Warriors re-signed Draymond Green to a one-year, $27.7 million deal after he opted out to give Golden State flexibility to pursue LeBron James, who instead is headed to Philadelphia, and she wonders if it’s the final Steph-Dray run. Finally, she covers the Raiders’ plan to start Kirk Cousins in training camp ahead of No. 1 pick and Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza, expecting a season-long storyline if Cousins struggles. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
