College Football's Future!? Will Conference Realignment Ruin The Sport? Will Mid Major Programs Disappear? What's The Impact of Players Making Money On Themselves? Mark Snyder Joins To Discuss!

The Best Paragraph I've Read: It sucks that college sports over the past decade-plus has chosen to give up what makes it special. I’m not talking about amateurism — the fact that players can now make money is long overdue. I’m talking about the regional flair, the communities, the charm and the history. There’s a connection with alumni and your opponent. The vast majority of us care more about our rivals and goofy trophies than we do who wins the national title. It’s not pro sports. It’s supposed to mean something more. There aren’t 30 “teams” we care about. There are a hundred unique communities. But pettiness and greed have won the decade, and this move by Texas, Oklahoma and the SEC could cement this path toward ending that forever. This paragraph comes from an essay in The Athletic titled: "Conference realignment sucks and it's taking away what we love about college football."  The essay is written by Chris Vannini.  You can read the article here: https://theathletic.com/2729122/2021/07/26/conference-realignment-sucks-and-its-taking-away-what-we-love-about-college-football-vannini/ Former Detroit Free Press college football beat reporter, Mark Synder, joins Zac and Don to discuss the article and the future of college football.  They talk about whether whether college football will be ruined due to conference realignment.  They talk about how and why these decisions are being made.  They also talk about potential impacts on players being able to make money from their name, image, and likeness.
