In today's episode, we have our now totally famous Top 5/Bottom 5 on the 4th as a holiday. We will also cover a variety of stories in college sports on a certified Hodgepodge Friday.

The new Academic Year approaches in College Athletics, and one of the key sticking points for the House Settlement going through was how Rosters will look for different sports going forward. There is an entire new set of rules for how many spots are available, how you can replace them, and what you can do for athletes that had roster spots before the change. We dive into that and what the repercussions could be, as well as talking college basketball expansion and which programs shined in the Learfield Cup Standings for 24-25.

There is no doubt that athletic departments across the country are focused on raising as much money as they can in anticipation of the new revenue share era. Can schools find the money? Can they do it in a way that does not leave the fans completely isolated in a world of the cash grab? There's money to raise, money to spend, and it's all about success of the teams....or at least it should be.

CFP! We know the format for 2025, no one can decide what to do after that. It's down to two formats and I weigh in. Further, I breakdown how teams are selected, pointing out the rampant hypocrisy of the past, and why we need to do better in the 12+ team format and beyond.

We are racing toward July 1. The 2024-25 collegiate sports season has officially ended with the conclusion of the College World Series. We recap the Tigers winning in a game that had a wild first inning. Then it is time to dive into a story that broke late last Friday, a school suing another school over losing a football player. I will point out that this is a matter for NCAA enforcement and not the courts (for once), and what this could mean going forward. As mentioned in the show, here is the link to Xavier Lucas' lawyer's interview with Finebaum.

It's a Hodgepodge Friday! You don't think that is a thing? It is totally a thing that has been in the works for a very long time. On today's show, we go over a set of random happenings in college sports. Even this late in June, college sports is still going on! So pull up a chair an join the very prestigious tradition of Hodgepodge Friday.

The House Settlement has been approved...finally. The NCAA has released a 36-page Q&A document about how D1 schools can expect to implement the coming changes. Very nice of them! Considering all of this goes into effect in two weeks. We dive into the document, highlighting some of the more notable "answers" and of course, we will discuss philosophically where this landmark case puts college sports.
