Summary
The Cover 3 crew answers listener questions on coaching hires, the playoff, more. First, with a couple of bills in the works from senators on both sides of the aisle, what will come from the latest round of congressional action around college sports, specifically efforts to standardize NIL and athletes’ rights (2:30)? Then it’s on to the Big Ol Bag of Mail and live audience questions, starting with the series of events that could lead to the SEC having no teams in the College Football Playoff at the end of 2022 (14:30). Plus, what program has done the worst job of hiring coaches in the 21st Century (26:00), whether schools are hurt when their NFL Draft picks don’t pan out at the next level (32:40), the best fight songs (39:00), the most attractive jobs among the “academic focused” FBS programs (44:00) and how to treat a fan of a rival school when you encounter one in unfamiliar territory (48:30).
