Stewart Mandel on Why the Big 12 is Deeper Than the ACC + The Texas Tech "Rogue Actor" Drama

The Athletic’s Stewart Mandel joins the show to reflect on five wild years of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) in college football, the unexpected parity reshaping the sport, and why the Big 12 might actually be a superior football conference to the ACC right now. We dive deep into Indiana’s unbelievable rise to national champion and powerhouse status , the looming threat of a College Football Super League controlled by TV networks , Washington’s messy attempts to regulate the transfer portal , and the ongoing political tension surrounding Texas Tech as the conference's "rogue actor". #big12 #big12fb #texastech #nil #acc #superleague
