On the latest episode of Deals & Deadlines, hosted by Matt Chernoff and super agent Hadley Engelhard, the biggest stories in sports business take center stage — from the future of the College Football Playoff and the NCAA’s ongoing legal battles to massive moves across the NFL, MLB and college athletics.

Matt and Hadley discuss SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey’s vision for an expanded College Football Playoff, including the possibility of requiring teams to play 10 Power Four opponents to qualify. They also dive into the escalating eligibility battle involving LSU, former NFL players and the NCAA, and why the chaos could ultimately force federal legislation and new guardrails for college sports.

The Lane Kiffin era at LSU is already creating a major buzz, while Tennessee’s $120 million jersey-patch deal with First Horizon Bank shows just how much money schools are finding through new sponsorship opportunities.

The episode also covers the surprising situation surrounding former North Carolina GM Michael Lombardi, Stan Kroenke’s reported purchase of the Los Angeles Angels and the potential real estate play behind the deal.

Plus, Matt and Hadley break down NFL roster manipulation heading into Week 1, Netflix expanding access to NFL games for bars and restaurants, MLB’s rising attendance numbers amid looming labor concerns, high school athletes becoming content creators, Tony Romo’s uncertain future with CBS, and the bizarre case of a man accused of posing as an NFL player while allegedly scamming women out of millions.
