Insider on Caitlin Clark’s New Shoe: Most Hyped Since LeBron’s

College football’s first full weekend saw a slew of upsets, but the real story was five of the 10 highest-paid coaches losing outright. FOS college sports reporter Amanda Christovich joins Baker Machado and editor-in-chief Dan Roberts to discuss the first-week flops, including Bill Belichick, Kalen DeBoer, and Deion Sanders.

Plus, Caitlin Clark’s first signature shoe is set to be released in 2026 as she becomes just the fifth active WNBA player with her own shoe deal. Sneaker insider Nick DePaula gives us a peek behind the curtain of this extensive process and explains what is at stake for Nike to get this right as they prepare for their biggest brand addition since LeBron James.

Also, we get a breakdown of what football positions get the most NIL dollars among power conferences, the ACC cracks down on Florida State after their big win over Alabama, and Alexander Isak sets a Premier League transfer fee record.
