Show Notes
Alex and Richard take a bunch of questions from Split Zone Duo subscribers, recorded at lunch on April 15. The topics covered here include:
* Is this the most wide-open track to the national title that CFB has seen in a long time? And what does it even mean for Ohio State to be “down”?
* The Group of 5 schools with the biggest NIL war chests
* Could Notre Dame be better than last year? (We’re skeptical.)
* How does Cal replace an entire portaled running back room?
* Would Texas reset the market for Dan Lanning?
* UAB has a new wordmark
* Is Mike Norvell’s hire of Gus Malzahn a last stand?
* Why is institutional malpractice in the MAC not a bigger story?
* Thoughts on Colorado retiring Shedeur Sanders’ number?
* City schools’ difficulty getting people to care about CFB
* Story time: Richard’s trip to Augusta National Golf Club
* Alex’s running gear recommendation
