Show Notes
As we get deeper into the buyout season, Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne joins Bruce, Stew, and Ralph to pull back the curtain on college football's economics. Byrne addresses whether schools, as Stew wrote in a recent column, are “wildly irresponsible spenders,” or facing genuine financial constraints. He also explains what it's like sitting across the table from powerful agents.
In mailbag, the crew debates whether Arch Manning deserves the criticism after a rough start to his Texas career, and Bruce and Stew disagree on what makes a coach "great" versus just "good." Plus, breakout players to watch this weekend.
