Summary
The trio of Ari, David, and Sam react to Tennessee and Virginia being granted a preliminary injunction against the NCAA, which prohibits the organization from enforcing its pay-for-play recruiting rules. The era of pay for play is here, but for how long? Will athletes become employees before long? Colorado has undergone some drastic changes this off-season. Will Deion Sanders' new staff and portal players lift the Buffaloes to a conference championship berth? Sam shares what he learned from anonymous high school coaches in the Houston area about which programs perform the best in the area. Plus, does moving up Early Signing Day actually help? Later, the group enters the Take Tank before having a candid discussion about how to broach NCAA Football 25 with your significant other. Oh, and we made some dumb, mock cover art.
