EXPOSED: LSU Just Walked Away From a 20-Year Deal With ASU — and ASU Let Them

Arizona State Sun Devils face a scheduling standoff as LSU, Texas, and Florida all pull out of high-profile, long-awaited home-and-home matchups. Are SEC teams dodging real competition, or does the evolving College Football Playoff structure make premier non-conference games a risky bet? The conversation focused on what these cancellations mean for ASU’s reputation, the impact on playoff pathways, and whether strength of schedule is becoming less relevant in college football’s new era. A key theme that emerged was Kenny Dillingham’s Golden Ticket recruiting program—does it empower or alienate top in-state talent? The discussion explored feedback from Arizona’s top recruits, including concerns about late offers and missed opportunities, while also highlighting the continued success of Saga Tuateli’s offensive line Polynesian pipeline. Can ASU’s family-first approach on the O-line set the stage for long-term success, even amid recruiting and scheduling challenges? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
