On today’s episode, SI’s Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and Pat Forde react to news of a potential bill that will prevent college athletes from becoming employees of the universities they compete for. They dissect the complex nature of the issue and debate whether it’s worth athletes becoming employees in the first place.
After the break, Wetzel shares the list of big games for Week 1 of college football action. They share their predictions and the implications for top matchups like Florida vs. Miami, Clemson vs. Georgia and Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame. Dellenger and Forde raise the possibility that the Florida-Miami game could result in the losing coach taking first place by the end of the season.
They close the show by sharing their dismay over the decision to ban legendary food eater Joey Chestnut from participating in the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on the 4th of July.
