    Texas A&M let go of head coach Jimbo Fisher, who is still owed around $76 million. That’s a record buyout for any college coach, and represents the Aggies’ incredible willingness to spend on their program. Also, Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz will not be retained after this season, ending one of the most unique contracts in college sports.

    Plus, we hear from Covers.com sports betting journalist Geoff Zochodne on what the launch of ESPN Bet will mean for the sports wagering industry, which is increasingly centered around a small number of major players.
