Welcome back to the latest edition of the Audible presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Bruce Feldman, joined, as always by my colleague Stuart Mandel.

We are taping Monday morning.

It's been a crazy week in college football.

It's been a crazy week all around.

We're going to be joined, Stu, by our our man on all things Iowa Scott Docterman,

who's had some really interesting reporting as he has followed a very big story that has developed

around Kirk Ference's program there. We will get into the details in a little bit, but it's not

just Iowa that is,

that has really been in the focus of what we feel like is a cultural shift that is, that is

taking place right now in the country. And it's, uh, impacted in football as well. It's at some other,

some other programs also are in the spotlight.

One of them is Utah.

Right.

I mean, like you said, a tremendous cultural shift going on right now in our whole country. And I think it is empowered, certainly former college football players to speak out about

instances where they encountered racism

while they were playing college football.

And you know, you don't hear that from current players because they fear the repercussions.

Former players obviously feel a little bit freer to speak out.

Utah, I mean, that's a really troubling situation.

star player there, long-time DC now, who actually was a Royals finalist last year.
