On Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 715 Josh Pate reacts to the SEC and Big Ten teaming up to try preventing various moves including the pooling of College Football media rights. It may sound boring, but it isn’t. Next Josh discusses the biggest Transfer Portal spenders in the space. How did Lane Kiffin and LSU surge to the top? What do we make of Indiana and Miami making big moves? Allegations have surfaced that Josh may hate the Big12. This is, of course, completely false.
