from Crunching Tackles · host Crunching Tackles

There is no event more prestigious than the World Cup, and the 2034 edition is going to be gifted to Saudi Arabia, as they continue their expansive sportswashing project. On today's episode, we discuss: 7:00 - Jim Harbaugh has been suspended by the Big Ten following evidence that his program was illegally spying on opponents. But we aren't convinced the NCAA rules on surveillance are fair, or even achieve the objectives they are designed to. 28:30 - THE BIG STORY: FIFA have set the stage for Saudi Arabia to get the World Cup, after declaring that South America can't bid for the tournament. How blatant has the collusion with the middle east become? How can conscientious sports fans respond?
