🏈 S1, EP21 | March Madness Expanding + 24 Team Playoff | Sorsby’s Fallout
College sports is changing fast — and this weekend we’re asking the big question:
Is bigger actually better?
We’ve got a loaded show as we break down the latest expansion chaos across college sports:
🏀 NCAA Tournament expansion — March Madness is moving toward 76 teams. Is this more opportunity, or is the NCAA messing with the best postseason in sports?
🏈 24-team College Football Playoff push — Coaches are reportedly backing bigger CFP access, but is this really about the sport… or job security?
🐘 Alabama vs. Ohio State is still on — Alabama drops Oklahoma State but keeps the huge home-and-home with Ohio State. What it means for Kalen DeBoer, the SEC schedule, and the SEC vs. Big Ten debate.
⚠️ Brendan Sorsby situation — The latest on the Texas Tech QB, the NCAA gambling investigation, NIL/portal fallout, and the NFL supplemental draft idea being floated.
College football, March Madness, playoff expansion, NIL, the transfer portal, gambling rules — it all connects.
