Could the Big 12 SELL its name? | More EA Sports College Football 25 Intel
Should the Big 12 sell its name? Or should it sell a piece of itself? Or both? Those are the questions Andy and On3’s Pete Nakos discuss after news that the league is considering selling its naming rights to Allstate and that the league is considering selling a piece of itself to a foreign private equity firm in exchange for a cash infusion.Pete also discusses the congressional bill that will attempt to declare college athletes aren’t employees. The bill passed through a House committee on Thursday and will reach the floor during this session. Does it have any chance of passing? Or will it languish like all the other bills drafted on this subject? Next, Andy digs into the EA Sports gameplay deep dive video to share more information from his visit to EA Sports last month to play the new college football video game. The deep dive revealed a little more of what game designers discussed in the abstract during Andy’s trip.Subscribe to On3! ⬇️ youtube.com/on3sports/?sub_confirmati...Welcome to On3 | The best of college football and recruiting https://www.on3.com/Follow Andy Staples on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Andy_StaplesFollow Andy Staples on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andy_staples Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/on3sportsFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/on3/Like/Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/On3Sports/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Of course, Jesse Simonton and Andy will have opinions about which teams might make the field. But what we know for sure is that some power-conference fanbase is going to be righteously furious when its team gets bumped for the highest ranked Group of 5 champ — or possibly a lower ranked power conference champ.Jesse also unveils his All-Transfer Portal team. He’s also been examining win totals in every conference, and he and Andy discuss which ones feel too high and which ones feel too low.Later, Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy joins to discuss some of the best transfer players that he’s studied. The Senior Bowl staff had to evaluate new Miami QB Cam Ward, new Ohio State QB Will Howard and new Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel in case they decided to leave for the NFL after last season. So Jim explains from a scout’s point of view what the new teams can expect from their new QBs.Want to watch the show instead?
