Texas Tech against Cincinnati will depend on if Brendan Sorsby is eligible to play or not, but two other big games that the guys discuss are Miami and Darian Mensah visiting Duke and Lane Kiffin and LSU visiting Ole Miss. Later, the guys look at another piece of drama going on in college football. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has been taking aim at various schools in the media lately, and the most recent instance came at the expense of Texas Tech. Andy and Godfrey discuss Sark's WWE-like antics and why this is actually a good thing for Texas Tech. Plus they discuss if Sark will comment on anyone else during the SEC spring meetings this week. Speaking of SEC spring meetings, the guys preview those as well. Andy and Ross will be at the meetings this week, but Andy and Godfrey discuss what to expect. What key topics will most likely be discussed and will any decisions come out of these meetings? Could we see a decision regarding CFP expansion?

Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti spoke at the Big Ten spring meetings this week and had some pretty strong thoughts on the future of the sport. To no one's surprise, he doubled down on wanting to expand the playoff to 24 teams. He noted that 16 is not an option and he is fine with remaining at 12 or expanding to 24. He also spoke about the idea of a 10-game conference schedule, rather than the current 9-game schedule, if the playoff were to expand to 24 teams. One other topic of note that he discussed was the College Sports Commission. He said that changes need to be made to the CSC. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger discuss all of his comments and analyze what each means for the sport. They also preview the SEC spring meetings and discuss what similar conversations will happen there. Later, Andy and Ross check-in on Baton Rouge as a familiar face has returned. Coach Ed Orgeron has returned to LSU to join Lane Kiffin's staff. Coach O is at least the third coach that has come back to LSU after being previously fired within the last decade. The other two are basketball coaches Johnny Jones and Will Wade. The guys discuss how this came to be and what impact it will have on Kiffin's program.

Brendan Sorsby seems to be trying to force a decision from the NCAA sooner rather than later so that he can figure out his future. On Friday, Sorsby requested an expedited decision from the NCAA on his sports gambling case. On Monday, he requested an injunction in a lawsuit against the NCAA to be eligible to play the 2026 season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this evolving situation. They explain everything surrounding it and discuss how likely it is that Sorsby will get an injunction to be able to play. Then, the conversation shifts to Washington D.C. where the much discussed SCORE Act seems to have been defeated. In its place is a new bill that is being worked on in the Senate and is reported to be a bi-partisan bill. Ross explains more information about this bill and the difference between it and the SCORE Act. The guys discuss if it will ever see the light of day. Later, the College Sports Commission has been a heavily discussed topic since its inception. Now the sports' two biggest brands are clashing with the CSC. Over $100 million in NIL contracts for the Big Ten and the SEC remain uncleared and the tensions are growing by the day. Could this be a boiling point for the Big Ten and the SEC to split from the NCAA? Plus, Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard made headlines when he said, "Let ‘em break away. I would turn it around and say we should break away from them." Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss Pollard's comments, if the Big Ten and SEC breaking away is realistic and what kind of chaos that would create.

Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey discuss his reasoning behind wanting such a drastic expansion and how much impact this stance has on playoff expansion moving forward. The guys also share their thoughts on if they think the playoff should expand and what impact expansion would have. Andy and Godfrey also discuss Commissioner Phillips' idea of a universal tiebreaker system across all conferences. Then, Andy and Godfrey look to the upcoming season. Some kickoff times for various games in the 2026 season were announced this week. The guys discuss what they think of the matchups and which they are most looking forward to. College Gameday's locations have been announced for the first two weeks of the season. Although Week 3 has not been announced, it is widely assumed that Lane Kiffin and LSU's trip to Ole Miss will be the location of Week 3's College Gameday. Andy and Godfrey talk about what may happen in Oxford that weekend. They also look at what has been released for Thanksgiving weekend's slate of games.  Later, neutral site games are the topic of choice. Florida State and Georgia have announced they will play a neutral site game in 2028 after they previously cancelled their home-and-home series. Andy and Godfrey talk about what they think of the switch to a neutral site game and they share their thoughts on neutral site games in general.  All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Commissioner Jim Phillips & ACC support 24-team playoff 12:26 - SEC remains lone conference to not support 24 teams 21:47 - Commissioner Phillips' universal tiebreaker 29:12 - Kickoff times released 29:59 - LSU at Ole Miss 32:12 - Clemson at LSU 32:21 - Ohio State at Texas 32:42 - Oklahoma at Michigan 33:33 - Colorado at Georgia Tech 33:44 - Miami at Stanford 34:51 - Baylor vs. Auburn 36:14 - Louisville at Ole Miss 36:29 - SMU at Florida State 41:56 - Florida at Florida State 42:18 - Texas at Texas A&M 42:39 - Ole Miss at Mississippi State 43:50 - Michigan at Ohio State 44:08 - TCU vs. North Carolina 44:13 - Virginia vs. NC State 44:26 - Other notable games 45:56 - Florida State vs. Georgia neutral site game announcement 53:13 - Thoughts on neutral site games Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

The ruling is in and it's a big one for the College Sports Commission. 18 Nebraska athletes lost their battle against the CSC. The athletes had challenged the CSC's ruling of rejected NIL deals. However, there is a catch. Ross Dellenger shares that Bryan Seely, the College Sports Commission's CEO, explained that these athletes can still get their NIL deals approved by submitting their deals a different way. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation and the group discusses the impact of this ruling and what it means for the future of the CSC. Then, Ross' Congressional Minute returns as he gives the latest update on the SCORE Act. The guys dive into some of the changes that have been made to the SCORE Act. Most notably, they look at the Lane Kiffin rule and rules surrounding coaching salaries and buyouts? The Lane Kiffin rule prevents coaches from talking to other schools about a job while in season. The crew discusses if any of the rules could actually be implemented and alternative solutions to these issues.  Later, one of the biggest stories in college football is the recent Lane Kiffin article in Vanity Fair. The guys discuss the reasoning behind why Kiffin would do an article like this and they talk about his comments regarding Ole Miss and racism issues on that campus. They also discuss if Greg Sankey is losing his grip on the SEC.

The future of college football is changing. This is nothing new, but what is new is the support coming from coaches about future changes to the sport. The American Football Coaches Association voted to support some seismic rule changes including a 24-team playoff, ending conference championship games, finishing the college football season by the second week in January and more. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the impact all of this would have and if it is good for the sport. They also revisit how we got to this point, what has to happen for this all to get approved and what the next steps in the process are. Then, Ross' Congressional Minute returns with an update on everything going on with legislation regarding college sports. A bi-partisan bill appears to have a chance to come from the Senate, but any legislation that has a chance of passing must start there. Ross explains how close that is to being a reality and the impact that would come from it. Plus, Godfrey tells about a recent article in which the horse racing industry warns against government oversight in college sports.  Later, as the guys continue to look at the potential of a 24-team playoff, they reflect on how the past two seasons could have been different if we were already at a 24-team model. Would Notre Dame have won last year's title? What if the hectic end of Michigan's season last year had been during a playoff run? What would the future of USC and Vanderbilt look like had they been playoff teams last season? Would Lane Kiffin have left for LSU if he had made the playoff in back-to-back seasons at Ole Miss? Plus, what future impact could a 24-team format have on the sport?

College football Saturdays could look a lot different in the future if streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video start to get involved. The groundwork is already being laid in college basketball as Ross Dellenger shares his report of Duke men's basketball's deal to have a select few of their games stream on Amazon Prime Video. This deal was cleared by the ACC and ESPN, but one of those games is against Michigan, and the Big Ten is fighting back as they claim they own the broadcasting rights to the game this season. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation as they look at what the greater impact of this could be. How could this change how people watch college football, and will the cable networks be able to fight off the streaming services? Then, the guys narrow the focus to a particular college football team in Westwood. UCLA appears to have turned a new leaf under new head coach Bob Chesney. They have already landed nine four-star recruits in this recruiting cycle, something they haven't done in a decade. They also have a Top-12 ranked class depending on what site you look at. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what is going on at UCLA and if this turnaround is sustainable. They also preview how they think UCLA might perform this season. Later, the crew takes a look at backup quarterback situations around the country. Texas Tech's quarterback predicament got the guys wondering who may have the best QB room in the country and how have those rooms developed into what they are?

The Big 12 has officially become the first conference to agree to a private equity deal in college football. Ross Dellenger explains the new deal with RedBird Capital and what this will mean for the teams in the conference. Teams can get over $30 million, but whether they will choose to is the question. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation to discuss if this decision makes sense and what the greater impact is. Plus, Ross shares a report on the College Sports Commission (CSC) Participation Agreement. It still has not been signed, but multiple conferences are inching closer to signing the contract. The guys break down what this would mean for college athletics. Then, the guys move the discussion to the performance of one specific team. In the recent 2026 NFL Draft, Clemson had nine draft picks. In the 2025-2026 season, Clemson only had seven wins. What does this massive underachievement say about the state of the program? Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss if this season could be Dabo Swinney's last as the Tigers' head coach. This discussion leads to a fascinating conversation about NIL. So many NIL contract numbers for college athletes are tossed out in the media without actual confirmation. In contrast, everyone knows what every NFL player is making and the length of his contract. These sports handle this information differently, but would it benefit college to adopt that NFL model? The guys discuss. Later, Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss a recent coaches photo. The NFL gets a coaches photo every year and it is the topic of conversation for at least a day. Coincidentally, college football got a similar version of that this year. The Southern Company Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament was recently held and there were 26 current and former head college football coaches there. The guys break down this group photo and discuss whom they would want to golf with the most.

Shocking news dropped Monday when it was announced that Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team and entering rehab for a gambling addiction. Additionally, he is being investigated by the NCAA for gambling. Sorsby was one of the top quarterbacks in the transfer portal this offseason, and he transferred from Cincinnati to Texas Tech just months ago. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the events that unfolded and where both Sorsby and Texas Tech go from here. What is Tech's answer at quarterback? Will Sorsby play college football again? Does this jeopardize his chance at the NFL? Then, the NCAA continues to pursue some rule changes that could go into effect as early as next year. Ross Dellenger gives an update on the status of the new five-for-five rule that would eliminate redshirts. He also shares details about an additional rule regarding tampering that is trying to be buried into the proposal. This one is a bit more controversial. Andy and Godfrey join Ross to discuss both of these proposed rules. Later, the NFL draft is officially over, but what did it reveal about college football? The guys discuss how the draft can be used as a test for which conference is actually the strongest in college football. Plus, they also talk about the complaints that NIL is ruining the draft and other notable takeaways from the weekend.

No more redshirts? Goodbye medical waivers? That is what the NCAA is proposing. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey dive in and discuss the proposed five year eligibility rule. This would eliminate both redshirts and medical waivers, allowing athletes to compete for up to five years starting at their high school graduation or 19th birthday. The guys discuss whether this proposal is a good solution for college athletics or if it will create more issues moving forward?  Then, Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at what else from the President's executive order could actually go into effect in the NCAA. The eligibility rules may have a chance, but could something like a one-time transfer rule or shifting of the transfer portal be put into place in the future? The guys discuss. Later, the crew narrows the focus from the broad NCAA to one school. Miami recently received a verbal commitment from Rivals' third ranked quarterback of the 2027 class. The Hurricanes have been a school, of late, who has focused on bringing in transfer quarterbacks each year. Could this recent commitment show a change in Miami's future QB model? May teams start to shift away from transfer portal quarterbacks? The guys discuss this and debate whether a team can win a national championship today with a homegrown quarterback.

As the evolution of college football continues to move forward, another voice has been heard from. This one is from the South. Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne has called for the end of the SEC championship game. "I think the ship has sailed," were some of the Alabama AD's words. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey discuss Byrne's comments and how he is saying what many others have either said or thought. If the end of the conference championship games is in fact near, how would this impact the College Football Playoff? The guys discuss the potential impact and what could be substituted in for conference championship games that the fans would enjoy even more! Then, we keep it in the South as Andy and Godfrey discuss if there should be concern about the Southeastern Conference. March Madness has officially concluded. Two Big Ten teams won the men's and women's tournaments: Michigan and UCLA respectively. That means it was a clean sweep by the Big Ten with national titles for football, men's basketball and women's basketball. It is the first time in nine years the SEC hasn't won at least one of those titles and the first time in 25 years that they have gone three straight years without a football national championship. Although that may not seem like a huge deal, the weight of this drought feels heavier for a conference that was seen by some as the pinnacle for many years. The guys chat about if the SEC is actually collapsing and how this era should be viewed. There's no way we make it through an episode without some legislative talk, even with Ross out for the day. On Friday, President Trump issued an executive order addressing various issues in college athletics. Andy and Godfrey discuss how important this order is and if it will lead to any real impact or change in college athletics. Hint: if you have been listening to this show then you probably already know the answer.  Stay up-to-date on all things college football with College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Alabama AD calls for end of SEC title game 18:18 - Replacing conference champ games w/ CFP play-ins 26:17 - SEC collapse? 33:00 - NIL impact on the SEC 52:44 - Impact of Trump's executive order Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

It is six months until October, but the NCAA already has us talking about ghosts. They have introduced the latest rule change in college athletics and it is regarding 'ghost transfers.' The new rule impacts transfers who go to another school outside of the transfer portal window. If they then play for the new school, that school will be subject to a six-game suspension of their head coach and a fine of 20% of their budget. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the NCAA's latest rule and what type of impact it will have on the college football landscape. How long will it be until this rule is challenged in court? Then, we move from the field to the court as Ross reports on the potential expansion of the NCAA tournament. The guys discuss not only how this would affect one of the best, if not the best, tournaments in all of sports, but how this could carry-over to impact the College Football Playoff as well. Will we start to see non-Power 4 teams eliminated from these postseason tournaments? Could a combination of rights deals between these tournaments be the future? The guys discuss all of this and more. Later, one of the biggest players in both the men's and women's NCAA tournaments is struggling off of the court. Although UConn is having immense success in basketball, the continuance of remaining an independent in football is creating issues financially. They do not have the same pull as their independent counterpart, Notre Dame, and therefore only receive a very tiny piece of the revenue pie. The guys discuss the decision that UConn faces and the simplest solution of just joining a conference.  Get caught up on your college sports news on today's College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Explaining the new 'ghost transfer' rule 8:30 - What is the fallout from this new rule? 26:18 - Potential expansion of the NCAA tournament 32:07 - How does expansion impact college football? 42:02 - Does UConn football need to join a conference?

March Madness is nearing its end, and it lived up to the name on Sunday. One similarity between the final four teams in the NCAA tournament and the final four teams in the College Football Playoff is that half of the field is from the Big Ten Conference. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss why the Big Ten is having so much success in the postseason. They also discuss why the SEC, which has no teams left in the NCAA tournament, is struggling in the postseason. Is the Big Ten the more dominant power conference? Is money the only factor that has leveled the playing field, or is there more to the change in power? Then, the conversation shifts to a team that is in the SEC. Lane Kiffin spoke to the media recently and asked the LSU faithful to have patience while he rebuilds LSU into the team that they all desire. The guys discuss how realistic patience is from the Tigers' fan base. In an era of yearly roster reconstruction via the transfer portal, should immediate success be expected? Will Kiffin be able to succeed quickly in Baton Rouge? Later, the guys talk about the College Football Playoff selection committee getting some new, and familiar, faces. With a few members' terms up, former Cal and Fresno State head coach Jeff Tedford and former Auburn and UCF head coach Gus Malzahn will be a couple of the new members joining the committee. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss the impact of adding two more head coaches to the committee. They also dive into the rules of when committee members need to recuse themselves during the discussions and voting. Will these fresh faces provide some positive change to the committee?

Sonny Dykes did not mince words when calling out former quarterback Josh Hoover. Dykes spoke about Hoover on a recent episode of his show, "State of the Frogs with Sonny Dykes," and called out Hoover's issues with turning the ball over while he was the quarterback for the Horned Frogs. Hoover transferred to Indiana at the end of the 2025 season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss coach's comments and how he could end up looking really bad at the end of the 2026 season. They also dive into what kind of success they think Hoover can have under Curt Cignetti at Indiana. Then, Ross discusses his latest story on Duke athletics. He gets into how a small, private school that is known for basketball is able to balance its resources with very high levels of success across the board. Andy and Godfrey join in as they continue the discussion of how Duke, and schools like it, has to operate to maintain success. They also talk about if this is feasible in the long run and how these schools may be setting themselves up for the next phase of realignment. Later, the crew gets into the latest viral video in college athletics. Adam Breneman is currently on a campus tour trip where he is showing facilities from various teams across the country. In a recent video, a Texas Tech player stated that they took out every dumbbell under 40 lbs. This sparked outrage across social media and the guys discuss just how ridiculous this whole situation became. Plus, they also discuss one of the latest CSC cases in which two Georgia women athletes are fighting back after their low value NIL deals were turned down.

In December of 2025, Kyle Whittingham and Utah football parted ways. Just two weeks later he was announced as the new head coach of Michigan. Now more details have come out about the truth of what happened in Salt Lake City that led to this separation. On Friday, Ross Dellenger released an article about this which included the release of documents from Utah regarding the separation. He explains exactly what went down behind the scenes. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the discussion about how the legendary Utah coach became the new head man at Michigan. Plus, they discuss why naming a head coach-in-waiting is always a bad idea. Then, the guys dive into a story coming out of the SEC. Multiple SEC teams have reduced how much they are spending on recruiting by the millions. Is this strictly because teams are more focused on paying players now, or is there more to the story? Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss where all this money is going and what else has led to a de-emphasis on recruiting budgets. Later, the crew discusses if college football is hurting March Madness. The first weekend of March Madness is in the books, and it is another year with no Cinderellas making it past the opening weekend. Andy, Ross and Godfrey chat about college football's role in this and how conference realignment, NIL and the transfer portal are affecting a lot more than just college football. 0:00:00 - Truth behind the Utah & Kyle Whittingham split 14:19 - Why a head coach-in-waiting is a bad idea 29:56 - Why are SEC teams reducing recruiting budgets by millions? 46:54 - Is college football killing March Madness?

The world of college football remains unpredictable, but one of the craziest events during the 2025 season was Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss, in the middle of a playoff run, to go to LSU. Now, there may be a rule being put into the SCORE Act to prevent that from happening in the future. It is aptly called the "Lane Kiffin Rule." Ross Dellenger explains all the details behind this rule. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join in to discuss their thoughts. They also talk about the topic of how important head coaches are in the NIL era of college football? Then, you may have thought the drama had ended with Trinidad Chambliss, but that is not the case. Chambliss was a finalist to be on the cover of EA Sports College Football 27, but he was informed that it would be too risky to put him on the cover. He is now blaming the NCAA's opposition to his eligibility as the reason he will not be on the cover and is seeking damages. Andy, Ross and Godfrey chat about this whole situation and also discuss who they think may end up on the cover. Later, the guys create a very different type of bracket. We are now in the thick of March Madness, so naturally the guys have to create some type of bracket. This bracket is focused on tampering. The concept is what a bracket of coaches would look like if coaches were allowed to fight each other over tampering. The guys discuss who may be a surprising top seed and who else could make the field.
