Ralph makes a case for Pac-12 schools to lie about how successful they'll be with NIL in the wake of Florida head coach Billy Napier saying NIL will be a 'slam dunk' in Gainesville. ASU Athletic Director Ray Anderson is involved in a Title VII/Title IX lawsuit filed by former associate AD David Cohen, and Pete Thamel reports that the way has been paved for the lawsuit to move into the discovery phase.

Pac-12 Apostles - Conference Update, Pac-12 divisions, Recruiting inducements, Scholarship Limit, Transfer Portal, Pac-12 Recruiting

On this episode of the Pac-12 Apostles Podcast, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden discuss the decision to go from division champions meeting at the end of the season, to the two best teams. Also, with Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher publicly feuding about the role and uses of NIL to build recruiting classes, is the Pac-12 positioned to make a leap forward under the new system or not? George and Ralph agree that many of the recent rule changes will likely help USC succeed, but Lincoln Riley has been accused of recruiting players on other rosters by representatives of Oklahoma, Pitt, Arizona State, Colorado and more- can the Trojans stay above the fray long enough to reap the benefits of the NIL era? Also, ASU adds a QB, but with 5 scholarship passers already on the roster, how will that affect the team? #fsrweekendsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PAC-12 Apostles - Salt Lake/Tucson/Westwood Visits, Jimmy Lake, Pac-12 Work From Home, Lincoln Riley Recruiting, Oregon ’22 Class, JT Daniels WV, ASU QB Situation

On this Episode of the Pac-12 Apostles, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden are back! George took his son on unofficial visits to University of Arizona, University of Utah, and UCLA - he details his up-close impressions of each football program. An investigation into the decision by Washington to fire Jimmy Lake didn't turn up anything scandalous, which backs up George's reporting last year that they just decided to move on based on how they felt the program was regressing. Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff finally acted to get the conference out of their insanely expensive San Francisco lease, so why isn't Ralph happy? Oregon bolstered their 2022 class by adding 5-star OL Josh Conerly, and convincing highly touted WR Kyler Kasper to commit and reclassify- the guys analyze those additions and talk about Oregon's recruiting. Lincoln Riley weighs in on what he'd like to see done to curb the influence of NIL collectives- George sees it as whining, while Ralph disagrees. Last up, in QB news, JT Daniels spurns Oregon State and lands at West Virginia, while Arizona State openly suggests they're still looking for next year's QB. #fsrweekendsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
