Summary

Which college football coaches are heels and which are considered heroes? Ari, Stew Mandel and Seth Emerson list the villains and most influential and candid voices in the sport with the absence of Nick Saban. Speaking of Saban, he spoke openly about NIL and the state of CFB. What was he right and off about? The CFP is close to ratifying its deal with ESPN after months of negotiating; however, the organization continues to demonstrate dysfunction. Before dipping out, Seth gives us a 30,000 ft. view of Georgia in 2024, along with Missouri, who may be a top-3 team in the SEC next year. Time stamps: - Playoff model, lack of leadership + dysfunction (2:45) - Nick Saban goes to Washington in a hit-and-miss day (15:00) - NIL donor fatigue (25:15) - CFB heels and heroes (34:30) - UGA check in (1:02:30) - Missouri + Penn St. check-in (1:07:15) Subscribe to the Until Saturday newletter: https://theathletic.com/newsletters/until-saturday Call/text the Until Saturday phone and leave us a question for a future mailbag and/or Sunday Sound-Off podcast: (316) 462-9852 Subscribe to Until Saturday on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbhfrD1COvG40Mk7vvgaHIQ Learn more about your ad choices.
