This is an IHeart podcast.

Listen up.

Everyone's thinking it.

I'm going to say it.

If we weren't smack-dive in the middle of a very publicized and high-profile gas station recruiting world on this show,

would the Big 12, or any of the conference for that matter, even have the audacity to go out there and shot their own naming rights?

And the answer is no.

But it's happening.

Latekick is live, high atop A, jam-packed and vibrant downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

It's Thursday, June 13th, the Year of Our Lord, 2024.

That means in a mere, oh, 36 or so hours, I will be firing off the Saturday morning

cornfield tweet that we are 11 Saturdays away from kickoff, and that

doesn't count week zero, for those of you who always ask, you guys, not you, the listener or the

viewer, but you guys in the college football administrative ecosphere, you let Brett your mark

off the hook. I told you not to. I dropped Easter eggs all over the show that they were up to

something out there,

and now you found out what. So I'm going to talk about it. Yes, if you've been at work today,

if you've been living your life, you may not be aware that there's like a seismic sort of ground shift out there in the heartland.

America's conference is making moves, aka the Big 12. I've got some college football playoff

stuff with the SEC to talk about. I asked you guys earlier today, how many teams is the

SEC going to get in this thing? Three, four, five, eight, some of you think. Two, three.

We'll see.
