Cohost emeritus Steven Godfrey joins Richard and Alex on this episode for a discussion what the player pay market has done to coach expectations.

5:07: The price of the brick (or of Jesse Legree or Kamario Taylor) goes up: What does a mid- or low-budget program do when a superstar emerges?

13:47: How much longer can coaches use NIL as an excuse?

22:01: Why different people in the same program will give you a different number for their roster spend

32:36: If coach pay isn’t going down, what does that say about what we can reasonably expect from coaches without a ton of roster cash?

43:23: Dissecting the season’s three big-budget disasters so far: Oregon, Michigan, and Texas A&M.
