Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss where all this money is going and what else has led to a de-emphasis on recruiting budgets.

The world of college football remains unpredictable, but one of the craziest events during the 2025 season was Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss, in the middle of a playoff run, to go to LSU. Now, there may be a rule being put into the SCORE Act to prevent that from happening in the future. It is aptly called the "Lane Kiffin Rule." Ross Dellenger explains all the details behind this rule. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join in to discuss their thoughts. They also talk about the topic of how important head coaches are in the NIL era of college football?

Then, you may have thought the drama had ended with Trinidad Chambliss, but that is not the case. Chambliss was a finalist to be on the cover of EA Sports College Football 27, but he was informed that it would be too risky to put him on the cover. He is now blaming the NCAA's opposition to his eligibility as the reason he will not be on the cover and is seeking damages. Andy, Ross and Godfrey chat about this whole situation and also discuss who they think may end up on the cover.

Later, the guys create a very different type of bracket. We are now in the thick of March Madness, so naturally the guys have to create some type of bracket. This bracket is focused on tampering. The concept is what a bracket of coaches would look like if coaches were allowed to fight each other over tampering. The guys discuss who may be a surprising top seed and who else could make the field.
