Description
Andy welcomes Yahoo Sports columnist, Dan Wetzel, to the podcast to conjointly state, "WE WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG! WE. TOLD. YOU. LOL"! Joking aside, the guys engage in a boastful, yet nuanced discussion about everything that's transpired these last two weeks. From SCOTUS ruling against the NCAA in a dispute about athlete compensation rights, to how this decision could impact schools like Boise State when facing the Alabamas of the recruiting world, to Dan's metaphor for all of this, "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered". Could a 12-team College Football Playoff be implemented as late as 2026? Andy wagers it won't. He and Dan explain why, plus, Notre Dame's Jack Swarbrick is a genius; bowl games just jumped in value, and though NIL won't be official until July 1st, there are already people profiting off of it, none of which are student-athletes.
