In this show, Alex and Richard take a bunch of subscriber questions in the run-up to the season, with an early focus on realignment matters:
* The Athletic reported that despite a desperate financial offer, Memphis has not gotten traction in its effort to join the Big 12. Why not?
* Why was Louisiana Tech, which isn’t very good, a good backfilling candidate for the Sun Belt after Texas State joined the Pac-12?
* What do we make of conferences (the American and Big 12 so far) doing away with preseason media polls?
* What do we make of Tulane’s addition of former BYU QB Jake Retzlaff?
* Do we have any Week 1 game travel plans? (Richard does.)
* Should Maryland fans be worried about the prospect of their school getting left out in future realignment? (This question could apply to lots of Big Ten and SEC schools.)
* Why did a story about Catapult video footage access go so quiet?
* Which is the deepest P4 conference for QB depth in 2025?
* How are our video game dynasty builds going?
