NCAA stirs controversy by denying joint spring practices for Colorado and Syracuse—yet hints at major college football calendar changes on the horizon. Could fans finally see a streamlined schedule and a return to two bye weeks? Jay Smith explores how a secretive NCAA subcommittee featuring coaches and ADs might reshape the sport’s future, with debates about playoff timing and college football’s struggle to avoid NFL competition.

 

The episode breaks down Joey Aguilar’s failed eligibility appeal at Tennessee and contrasts it with waiver approvals for quarterbacks like Walter Eget (Duke). Jay Smith also spotlights Curt Cignetti’s raise at Indiana and reveals how locking in loyal coordinators could become a blueprint for program stability. With heated discussions on NCAA’s rule inconsistencies, player transfers, and coaching longevity, this fast-paced show asks: Is tangible reform finally coming to college football, or is chaos here to stay?
