What happens when tradition collides with big money in college football? Is loyalty dead in pro sports?

On the next Fourteen Twenty Sports Bar Podcast, I sit down with Aaron Riley for a brutally honest look at how NIL deals, the transfer portal, and coaching changes are unraveling the games we thought we knew. We dig into why fans are tuning out, how contracts are shaping players’ choices, and what it all means for the future of sports.

Curious where all this leads? Tune in as we sort through the chaos, debate solutions, and consider what loyalty means in the age of million-dollar athletes.
