I loved the banter. I thought it was human.

It felt real.

A lot of these coaches now because of how much money is at stake

and what they have to represent.

We get robotic approach to gamesmanship.

Hello, Ed, welcome in. It's always college football. I'm your host Greg McElroy. It is Monday, March 2nd. And if you listen closely, you can hear it. The sounds of some whistles, the smell of fresh cut grass and kind of the collective anxiety from these coaching staffs all over the country,

because spring practice is officially here.

And while most of the world is still waiting to start, we have teams like Nebraska and Colorado,

Pitt that hit the grass today.

We've got SC, Florida, and NC State that hit it tomorrow.

And while the players are kind of stretching out and getting ready for what might be an incredible competition of the specific position group, the NCAA decided to spend their weekend stretching the limits of their authority.

So we will break down the proposal that hit the wires, everything from six game suspensions to eight figure fines for tampering.

Is this going to be a deterrent?

Or is this just the new cost of doing business here in the portal era?

And I cannot, I mean, we cannot, I suppose, ignore what transpired in Gainesville, Florida last week

when Kirby Smart and Mario Cristobal shared the stage for the Spurrier Award, and it turned

into kind of the red wedding, if you will, of coaching Rosts. It was really good.

So we've got some receipts.

We got some quotes.

Then we got the analysis of why Georgia and Miami is the game that the committee has to give us here in 2026.

So we have a massive show.

We're going to dive deep on some big questions for every team that's starting camp this week.
