College Football Post-Realignment Era Begins

Week 0 of college football is here. Ben Stevens of SportsGrid joins the show to explore the major narratives of the first season with a conference map reshaped by realignment. We also look at how the 12-team College Football Playoff format could shift how teams operate and check in on the news of Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz receiving a one-game suspension.

Plus, Front Office Sports reporter Margaret Fleming breaks down the NWSL’s new CBA, which improves player pay, partially ties the salary cap to league revenue, and eliminates the entry and expansion drafts.
