Summary

The college sports world is in absolute turmoil as seemingly every day another school is announced to be moving from one conference to another.

Afterwards Mark and TJ talk sports memorabilia, movie theaters, phone cases, and more. Nicole Auerbach covers college football and college basketball for The Athletic.
