Summary
What will college football look like in the future? Are we headed for a collective bargaining agreement that would make the players employees? That is one of the topics of discussion on today's show as Ben Koo of Awful Announcing drops by to join Dave Biddle. Also on the agenda:
* Ohio State has a brutal regular-season schedule, but the Buckeyes are still the favorites to win the national championship. Other than the schedule, any concerns about this team? Or are they loaded up for a great season?
* We get Ben's hot takes on Texas Tech, Cody Campbell and Brendan Sorsby. Also, what round will Sorsby be taken in the NFL Supplemental Draft? Which teams might be interested?
That and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
