Summary

Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for a wide-ranging conversation on some of the biggest and most controversial topics in sports. The discussion starts with the NCAA investigation into Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who is accused of placing nearly 10,000 online sports wagers — including bets involving his previous team while redshirting. Jake and Mick debate whether college sports gambling rules are protecting the integrity of the game or becoming too restrictive in the modern era. The guys also react to the NAACP’s call for Black athletes to avoid playing at southern schools over political redistricting battles in states like Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. Could a boycott actually impact SEC recruiting? Jake explains why he believes NIL money, NFL development and playing opportunities still drive most recruiting decisions. Plus, Mick shares his thoughts on Pete Rose, baseball ethics and whether Rose’s lifetime ban should have been lifted before his death. The conversation also takes a hilarious turn with personal stories involving horse racing, a bachelor party hot streak, and a mistaken identity involving Hootie & the Blowfish. Topics include: 🏈 Jake Coker on college football gambling rules 🏈 Brendan Sorsby NCAA investigation 🏈 Texas Tech football controversy 🏈 NAACP boycott and SEC recruiting 🏈 NIL, recruiting and the NFL path 🏈 Pete Rose, baseball gambling and Hall of Fame debate 🏈 Mick Gillispie’s wild horse racing story 🏈 Hootie & the Blowfish mistaken identity story Like the video and subscribe to The Next Round for more college football, SEC football, Alabama football, sports media debates and unfiltered conversations with former players and insiders. #JakeCoker #AlabamaFootball #TexasTechFootball #BrendanSorsby #CollegeFootball #NCAAFootball #SportsGambling #NCAA #SECfootball #CollegeRecruiting #NIL #PeteRose #thenextround SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com Learn more about your ad choices.
