Opt-outs and Bowl Season | Late Kick Live Ep. 221

Late Kick Live Ep. 221 features Josh Pate reacting to recent debate about College Football bowl game opt-outs and whether it’s an indictment on player passion and investment into the sport OR a sound business decision knowing the risk vs reward. We also look ahead to the National Championship featuring Alabama vs UGA next Monday night in Indianapolis. Will Nick Saban and Alabama duplicate the performance we saw in the SEC Championship Game or will Kirby Smart and the Dawgs clinch the program’s first title since 1980? Josh also takes some time to discuss how incredible a job Dave Aranda is doing at Baylor. After a 12-2 season and a Sugar Bowl win over Ole Miss, what are reasonable expectations for 2022 and beyond? Is Aranda at Baylor for the long haul? All that plus Josh empties the Late Kick inbox by answering several viewer questions.
