Rearranging The Deck Chairs

After revealing Week 4's card, Eben and the Commissioner dive into: What schools should the Pac-12 dip into next, and does adding any school that isn't a "national brand" matter to the Pac-12's aims of returning to "Power" relevanceWhy Stanford and Cal won't dip into their endowment to scrounge for couch change to pay ACC exit feesAdam Silver reminds Eben (directly!) of his desire for a federal sports betting framework on the day that legislators drop a federal sports betting frameworkWhy a famous former Michigan football player suing the NCAA for $50 million is trying to get his case made part of the current class action settlement – and extend the window for athlete payments to several years earlierWould a rejected mechanism in the House settlement (that would've attempted to root out fraudulent NIL deals) have resulted in the unfair suppression of player wages?The FBI's investigation of more college basketball corruption – this time re: an Atlantic 10 team Summer Bahamas junket gone wrong.

A Single Red Flash

Before things go off the rails completely, Steve the Imaginary Producer gives kudos to Week 2 winner Downtown Tyler Brown, Eben chronicles what's next in the House v. NCAA settlement debacle, and we debate the most recent Big 12 and Mountain West realignment shenanigans. Then, everything we talk about somehow keeps coming back to the MAC, the Commish tells some disturbing stories, and Eben develops an unhealthy and unexplained obsession with the Saint Francis (Pa.) Red Flash.

The discussion hits on how feasible it is for schools to potentially tap endowment earnings to cover growing athletics deficits in the 'House' era, how B-list programs looking to keep up with the Joneses in the college athletics cash race are unwittingly creating a buyer's (or lender's) market, and if Private Equity takes a stake in a college program, who their buyers are 5-10 years down the line.
