Tennessee levels up with Iamaleava | Late Kick Live Ep. 247
Late Kick Live Ep. 247 features Josh Pate opening up the Late Kick inbox and taking viewer questions spanning the entire world of College Football. With Tennessee landing a verbal commitment from 5* QB Nico Iamaleava and a significant NIL price tag attached to him, what does this mean for Volunteer Football and the NIL market overall? Are giant stadiums a thing of the past in College Football with the in-come viewing experience continuing to improve and ticket prices not falling anytime soon? What would the ideal selection criteria for the CFB Playoff be if you ran a committee of one? What about Texas in 2022? Is it more likely the Horns make a big move or Sark starts feeling pressure? Should the national title game be moved to Saturday despite all the alleged reasons why Monday makes more sense? Where will technology play the next big role in the evolution of our sport? All that plus some storm chasing talk, a hat tip to Michigan State, and a surprising new Late Kick conspiracy theory emerges.

With fantasy football being a huge hit in pro circles, why hasn’t it ever caught on nationally with College Football fans? How about the SEC on CBS theme music? When the SEC contract moves to ESPN in a few years, will the music be gone for good? If so, will we get an adequate replacement?
