In today’s episode, SI’s Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and Pat Forde discuss the uncertain prospects for college football’s future TV coverage. Wetzel opens by pointing out that the 2024 college football season could be the most dramatic yet due to conference realignment and other massive offseason changes.
They’re shifting the conversation to how the College Football Playoff will compete directly with the NFL for viewers. They point out that the recent scheduling change for the Egg Bowl between Mississippi State and Ole Miss will no longer be played on Thanksgiving evening.
Dellenger points out how sharing revenue with college football players could create competition with the NFL for top talent. They discuss how many elite college players with questionable NFL prospects will choose to stay in college for greater financial security.
After the break, they respond to the latest rumor about college football programs potentially having corporate sponsors on their fields and uniforms.
They close the show with the story of a serial thief in England who admitted to stealing a ridiculous amount of Pringles.
