Summary

Today's word of the day is 'power' as in the Power Five or as in who has all the power. Right now in college football things are happening. A report came out that the Big Ten Presidents got together and have voted 12-2 to cancel the fall season. So what will the other conferences in the Power Five do? Is the Big 12 waiting for the Pac-12? Is the SEC going to go on without everyone else? Did anyone wake up someone from the NCAA and let them know what's going (0:06)? Now let's move onto MLB. History was made. The Cleveland Indians sent pitcher Zach Plesac home! Not because he wasn't pitching great, not because he said something controversial, not because he missed a meeting... he was sent home for breaking protocol and leaving the hotel in Chicago to go out with friends. UNBELIEVABLE (16:45)! So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me how I would have dealt with the Tyler Skaggs situation if I was president of the team. Word came out that an employee of the Angels was charged for providing drugs to Tyler Skaggs that ultimately led to his death (21:50). Review - Point of No Return (36:50). I'm so sick of the Houston Astros. But if you're Athletics Ramon Lauerano... what are you doing charging their dugout! What will baseball do now (39:20)? #waittosee --------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

0:00.0	There you go.
0:07.0	Power. Nothing personal word of the day. It's a big one. It's power. Power
0:14.7	can mean all sorts of things that can reference monarchs, despots, governments,
0:21.3	people, schools, universities, companies. The power I want to talk about today is
0:29.8	called the Power Five. Anyone ever heard of the Power Five? It's five conferences
0:35.5	in college football. It's the Big Ten, the Pack 12, the SEC, the Big 12 in the
0:43.4	ACC. If you don't know whether your school is in a Power Five, is in the Power
0:48.2	Five, I'm not going to help you. I'm not going to list the schools. But we're
0:53.0	talking the Big Frommage from Alabama to Texas to Clemson to Nebraska to
1:01.2	LSU to Florida State. Not the IVs, not the Big Sky, not even the Mac. Mac made
1:10.9	news this off season this weekend. Canceling football. Everyone's canceling
1:16.6	football except the Power Five. They spent the weekend in meetings. A couple
1:24.0	weeks ago we had Jonathan Holloway, the president of Rutgers. He talked about
1:28.5	the fact that there's going to be an on-off day. There's a day where they
1:32.7	decided as a conference, the Big Ten will make the decision whether football will
1:37.4	be on or will it be off. But of course they say it in a different way. They say
1:41.6	that they're talking about all of fall sports. That's how the announcements
1:45.1	come. The IV leagues have decided to cancel fall sports. The reality is we're
1:52.6	talking football. Not just because it's the biggest business, the biggest fan
1:56.8	base, the biggest broadcast deals, the biggest booster generating donation,
2:02.7	giving sport. It's football. So the Big 12 got together. I call out the Big 10. I
2:11.3	think there's 14 schools in the Big 10. We've spoken about it ad nauseam on the
