Summary

Alex Kirshner, Richard Johnson, and Steven Godfrey discuss the stories they are most interested to watch unfold between now and September. In this show:

* Podcast update: Godfrey is becoming host emeritus and will take a lighter load as he works on other things, but you’ll still hear him on SZD regularly.

* Richard is tracking a series of potential changes to the postseason and end-of-season schedule, not just (more) playoff expansion but also all the SEC/Big Ten saber-rattling that will accompany it. Plus potential changes to the transfer portal schedule and a resolution of the ACC’s drama.

* Godfrey will follow the SEC’s attempts to keep internal order now that it’s ballooned to a huge size, some teams have missed the first 12-team playoff narrowly, and the “eight vs. nine conference games” debate remains open.

* Alex has his eye on the House settlement, which most people in college sports believe will get final approval and go into effect this year. For the first time ever, after years of toothless hearings, the federal government will have no choice but to get actively involved in college sports reforms.

* Arch Madness prepares to take full hold at Texas

* Penn State, preseason No. 1?

* USC’s crucial summer of getting its house in order
