Summary
Stew and Bruce start the show by discussing the news that Baylor is extending Dave Aranda until 2029 and Luke Fickell now is making 5 million a year in Cincinnati. Which program has the brighter future in the Big 12? Could either win a national title before 2030? The Bryan Harsin drama ended with him staying at Auburn. Plus, David Ubben joins the show to discuss his latest story in The Athletic about Spyre Sports, a Tennessee-centric college sports collective that is investing millions of dollars into the Vols football program by paying recruits. The sport we knew 10 years ago is officially gone.
