HR 2- College Recruiting $$, Lane Kiffin’s Comments, Ward vs. Mendoza

Hour 2 opens with Alex Donno breaking down how NIL money continues to reshape college sports, as more players across both basketball and football choose to stay in school rather than go pro due to increased earning potential. The conversation highlights the programs and conferences pouring the most resources into recruiting, with SEC schools leading the way while ACC programs try to keep pace, including Miami’s efforts to stay competitive with the national powerhouses. The guys also get into college football talk surrounding Lane Kiffin’s recent comments about recruiting at Ole Miss, with Hollywood and Donno pushing back on his remarks and questioning his approach after leaving the program, while debating the broader pressures coaches face in the NIL era. The hour wraps with discussion on quarterback prospects Cam Ward and Fernando Mendoza and a look at the growing sports card market.
