Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger kick off the podcast breaking down more NIL madness featuring top rated quarterback Jaden Rashada as the Florida Gators collective falls through. Rashada, who is now looking for a new home, left Florida as their $13 million collective was unable to fulfill their promise to get enough money. The gang draws comparisons to the early USFL days & notes that the worst part of this NIL situation is if Jaden Rashada doesn’t even get to play this year.On the flip side of the recruiting spectrum, in back-to-back years Deion Sanders has landed the #1 cornerback prospect out of high school. This year Coach Prime was able to get Cormani McClain to commit to the University of Colorado.Elsewhere in college football, Ed Reed has been vocal about his situation at Bethune-Cookman, which leads the guys to a discussion about how hard it truly is to change the trajectory of a college football program.In professional football, the Cincinnati Bengals were able to beat the Buffalo Bills to keep the AFC Championship game in Kansas City. The option for a neutral site playoff game is off the table and the NFL will have to wait before trying to turn a playoff game into a bowl game.Finally, the People’s Court gives their rulings on a robbery with a stapler and the great Fireball debacle of 2023.1:00 Jaden Rashada was granted his release from the Florida Gators29:40 Colorado lands top rated cornerback Cormani McClain35:20 Ed Reed and Bethune-Cookman University are butting heads41:36 The NFL tried to sneak a bowl game into the playoffs48:23 The People’s CourtStay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB.Follow Dan @DanWetzelFollow Pat @ByPatFordeFollow Ross @RossDellengerCheck out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Athlete revenue sharing bill in California, how do Olympic sports affect colleges & who is the 2023 transfer portal king?

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger are back and kick off the podcast going through the details of a new bill proposal that would give college athletes in California a 50/50 split of athletic revenue — a potential huge shakeup to college athletics as we know it. Ross details how the bill could get approved & the newly found optimism surrounding it. There would be more benefits to the athletes, but how would it affect regular students? Could tuition fees be raised? Which sports would be eligible (and are deserving) of this proposed pay structure?Dan raises the idea that the Olympic sports at universities should not dictate tuition being raised for any student. The premise of the federal government funding these sports is also on the table if more bills like these are passed and sports are deemed cuttable by their universities.In college football news, Lane Kiffin was able to secure LSU transfer quarterback Walker Howard and a college football player entered the transfer portal advertising a school that he never attended.Finally, the podcast ends with some fishing advice in the event that you land a big tuna.1:00 A new revenue sharing bill for student athletes has been proposed in California14:15 Would schools risk recruiting advantages by cutting some football funding?19:00 Are the Olympic Sports worth keeping at universities if general students have to pay for them?31:40 Should the Olympic sports be funded by the federal government?43:32 Walker Howard is transferring from LSU to Ole Miss46:15 A college football transferred from Savannah State while never being on the team50:47 A fisherman was pulled from his boat after hooking a tuna in HawaiiStay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB.Follow Dan @DanWetzelFollow Pat @ByPatFordeFollow Ross @RossDellengerCheck out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv
