Galen Clavio opens the show with a handful of Indiana football news items as the Hoosiers await their Rose Bowl / CFP quarterfinal opponent — including the wild scene at Memorial Stadium’s rally towel distribution, reflections on Fernando Mendoza’s Heisman win, and why keeping coordinator continuity (including Mike Shanahan’s extension and Bryant Haines on defense) matters for sustaining IU as a national power.

Then Galen is joined by former On3 reporter Andy Wittry for a wide-ranging conversation about the college football landscape: Utah’s groundbreaking private-capital partnership and what it could mean for athletic departments nationally, the Big 12’s reported pursuit of private capital, the growing financial squeeze (including high-profile student-fee debates), and how the CFP is evolving amid ongoing political pressure from major brands like Notre Dame.
