Offseason? What offseason?
College coaches are scouring the country for the spring evaluation recruiting periods, and those back on campuses are combing through the now-closed NCAA Transfer Portal to see if maybe there's that one dude overlooked by others who might be a fit.
Plus, leagues are preparing for their annual meetings and talking season -- conference media days -- are a scant two months away.
The Southeastern Conference hosts its annual meetings in Destin, Florida, at month's end, and always a big topic of those gatherings is the league's revenue distribution.
Which, in general around college athletics, is driving a lot of the conversation.
So are logistics, especially with conference expansion and renegotiated broadcast packages -- Notre Dame chief amongst them -- still out there setting the current new market (which of course will shift whenever there's the inevitably shape-shifting for the next round of conference mercenaries).
And what to make of the Iowa and Iowa State athletics programs being at the center of the state's gaming commission's probe due to student-athletes gambling?
Not to be ignored, Zach Barnett dives into the social media phenomenon that is 'Baby Gronk.'
All these topics plus a teaser for an upcoming podcast examining Deion Sanders, aka 'Coach Prime,' and the Colorado Buffaloes in 2023.
