Johnny Manziel on Missing NIL Era, Conference Realignment, Drake Friendship

The NCAA issued the University of Michigan a $20 million fine and other recruiting penalties over its sign-stealing scandal, but notably did not include any postseason ban. FOS reporter Amanda Christovich explains what this means for the Wolverines and the next steps in the appeals process.

Plus, Johnny Manziel joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington to talk about missing the NIL (name, image, and likeness) era, where things stand with Texas A&M, and how his relationship with Drake has opened new doors.

Also, we get a pulse check with FOS newsletter writer Eric Fisher on some of the biggest proposals in sports (CFP and MLB expansion, plus a possible U.K. Super Bowl), and how realistic they are to happen.
