Episode notes
NIL Era Made NCAA Rules Largely Toothless
- Dabo Swinney's public tampering rant exposes the reality that NIL-era recruiting has eroded NCAA enforcement and rules' authority.
- Middlekauff argues coaches will either complain or join the free-for-all because enforcement is weak and legal consequences drive behavior.

- Don't assume flag-football accuracy means NFL readiness; evaluate arm strength, pocket mobility, and ability to absorb hits.

Host Shares Personal Peptide And B12 Experience
- Middlekauff shares personal use of peptides and B12 shots and reports increased energy from peptides.
- He mentions obtaining peptides at a wellness center next to where he got allergy tests.
