Summary

In light of the NCAA investigating allegations about Arizona State hosting recruits during the 15-month non-contact period, Andy and Ari frame just how reprehensible ASU's actions were and how it offended other football programs. What will happen next with the team? The guys then channel their inner Dr. Derek Shepherd and attempt to reprogram college football fans' brains to recognize what is/isn't cheating with NIL rules looming. How real is the concern that above-market deals will be offered to recruits in exchange for their commitment? How will NCAA and schools stonewall this uneasiness? Ari explains the latest college football renaissance. Lastly, Andy teaches Ari how to adult (who bags their grass clippings?).
