Last Friday, the college football landscape felt the first tremors of the next big shift in how the sport will be run in the future. The SEC and the Big Ten announced they were creating a special advisory committee to help oversee the future of the sport. Many viewed this as the beginning of the end for the NCAA. Penn State football finds itself on the ship headed toward the future.

But what does that future look like? On today's BWI Live Show, we discuss how a new power structure will emerge and what factors matter on the way to it. Senior Editor Nate Bauer joins the show to lend his experienced eye to the situation.

We'll also discuss the team's defensive end situation outside of Dani Dennis-Sutton. Who will step up and play in that secondary pass-rushing role? Find out that, plus hear the BWI Mailbag that ends the show!

The future of College football

We spend the first third of today's show discussing how college football has been masquerading as something different than the NFL, its professional counterpart. Bauer lists why he thinks the changes that will take place in the sport over the next several years will finally unmask the sport for what it has been for years.

Where does Penn State fit into this? Will the Big Ten change its model of team acquisition and start shedding less viable programs? According to Bauer, it's all on the table.

Another significant change for Penn State this upcoming year is at defensive end. While Dani Dennis-Sutton will likely step into the starring role after two seasons building to this moment, the other position remains unclaimed. Defensive ends Amin Vanover and Zuriah Fisher are the veterans who have the inside track to the spot, but who else factors in? Will Abdul Carter see a meaningful change in his usage? Or Will sophomore Jameial Lyons fall in Dennis-Suttons' footsteps. We discuss those ideas and the other variables that will present themselves in spring football.

BWI Mailbag
