WARNING: Congress Under Fire As SEC, Big Ten FIGHT To Take Over College Football POWER

from Locked On ACC - Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast · host Locked On Podcast Network

Congress can’t halt the next era of NCAA conference realignment, as the SEC and Big Ten push back against restrictions in the Protect College Sports Act. Can any legislation curb the power of these college football giants, or will their lobbying reshape the landscape for years to come? Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs dissect the hypocrisy around salary caps for players versus unchecked expansion and debate whether capping conference growth or NIL payouts is truly un-American. Shifting to recruiting, Texas A&M, Miami, Notre Dame, Oregon, and Texas Tech wage a high-stakes arms race, reportedly spending $10 million+ for top classes. Is building a powerhouse worth the escalating cost? The show also spotlights Miami’s Malachi Tony and Clemson’s Sammy Brown earning preseason All-America honors, plus a breakdown of ACC stars on the watch lists for major national awards.
