Hour 1: Wisconsin’s New AD and Knueppel Scoop Miss

With Kyle Wallace out, Ben Brust is joined by Jesse Nelson for a show that starts with the two roasting each other while introducing Jesse to new producer C-Katt. The guys react to Wisconsin reportedly hiring Sean Eichorst as athletic director, debating whether his Texas experience matters more than his past at Nebraska and how much the job ultimately comes down to fixing football. Mark Tauscher joins to explain why football revenue has to drive the department and how Wisconsin needs to develop talent more like the Brewers than simply try to outspend everyone. Ben also shares his missed chance to break Kager Knueppel’s Duke commitment after playing against him in men’s league. The hour closes by setting up another edition of Are You Smarter Than Ben Brust, with Ben worried that the Knueppel family may already view him as a doofus.
