Summary

Is college football "better" than what it was, say, five years ago? Ari and David try to answer that question on today's show. Before then, the guys discuss the FSU situation and determine if this fracas will amount to anything (1:30). Is there parity in the sport? Is Signing Day inconsequential because of the portal, and is the sport in a healthy spot (8:30)? Plus buying and selling program stock after NSD and a bulk of the portal window (37:30) and bowl bets (59:30).
