College football is in full chaos: Texas Longhorns/Texas football scheduling drama, NIL and the transfer portal madness, Jaden Rashada and Florida Gators fallout, and CFP (College Football Playoff) eligibility battles all hit in one live Unafraid Show with George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden. The show opens on the NCAA’s “rule of restitution” threat—vacating wins after players won court orders to play—dragging Memphis football, San Diego State football, and even Indiana football into the conversation and raising the obvious question: what does “punishment” even mean when everybody watched the games?

From there, George breaks down why we still don’t have clear eligibility rules after decades of legal fights, including the Oregon State/Lonnie Shelton example that shows how long this tug-of-war has been going on. The guys also hit the junior college eligibility angle and why the sport keeps ending up in court instead of having clean, enforceable standards.

Then it pivots to NIL reality and why the market got distorted fast: the Jaden Rashada story, the Florida Gators side of it, how collectives operate, and why Billy Napier’s name keeps getting pulled into these conversations—especially when lawsuits and “discovery” become part of the recruiting ecosystem. After that, George goes in on schedules and résumé-manufacturing, including Texas backing out of a home-and-home with Arizona State and why schedule uniformity matters if the CFP is going to be judged fairly year to year.

The episode also touches the late-show grab bag: Georgia football legal headlines, the weird ways serious news turns into internet comedy, and yes—George closes with random life talk like Reese’s and the kind of off-the-rails side conversations only a live college football show delivers.

NCAA to Vacate CFB WIns, Texas Cancels ASU, Jaden Rashada Settlement, College Football Chaos

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/5453d638-454f-45fc-87df-b3f7004cb777/transcript

College football realignment, NIL, transfer portal chaos, and conference expansion are moving fast—and George Wrighster breaks down the biggest stories shaking the sport: North Dakota State football joining the Mountain West, the “super conferences” future, MrBeast potentially sponsoring a team, the Drake May vs North Carolina drama under Bill Belichick, and a brutal Bill Moose book revealing what really happened with Scott Frost at Nebraska.

George starts with North Dakota State to the Mountain West Conference as a football-only member and explains why this is a “last shot” move for top FCS programs trying to avoid getting left behind when college football eventually consolidates. From there, George reacts to the idea of MrBeast funding a roster (East Carolina gets name-dropped) and why a creator with massive money + content distribution could disrupt the entire Power 4 ecosystem—because attention is currency and NIL can follow it.

Then it gets spicy: UNC pushed Drake Maye hard leading up to the Super Bowl… but Drake shouted out his high school instead of North Carolina, and George explains how the Belichick/Patriots/UNC weirdness helped create this moment. After that, George goes in on Bill Moose’s memoir and why it paints Scott Frost as the classic “hire out of fear” mistake—plus the wild detail that Moose explored Nebraska returning to the Big 12.

Finally, George breaks down Pete Nakos’ reporting on NIL recruiting demands—signing bonuses, travel stipends, jersey numbers, perks—and explains why the sport needs collective bargaining and enforceable contracts to protect players and schools. Because right now, it’s free agency with no guardrails.

Chapters:

00:00 – Health update + why the show was off for two weeks

03:45 – North Dakota State joins the Mountain West (realignment + super conference fears)

08:09 – MrBeast sponsoring a team? NIL money + “buy a championship” conversation

15:00 – Bill Moose memoir: Scott Frost interview + Nebraska hiring mistakes

23:40 – Drake May vs UNC + Bill Belichick/Patriots drama

27:53 – Pete Nakos NIL recruiting “nuclear bomb” + why CFB needs collective bargaining

Will MrBeast Buy a CFB Team? Scott Frost EXPOSED, “Super Conference” Panic

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/7d5257fb-ce89-4ebf-9bb5-b3ee000d011f/transcript

College football, the transfer portal, NIL, and tampering are colliding in real time—and George Wrighster breaks down the biggest stories shaping the CFB right now: Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney vs Ole Miss football, Deion Sanders and Colorado football player fines, Duke football vs Darian Mensah and the Miami Hurricanes football, plus the fallout from Indiana football winning the College Football Playoff National Championship.

First up: Dabo Swinney goes public accusing Ole Miss of blatant tampering after Clemson’s Luke Farrelly allegedly got contacted while enrolled—then Dabo says he warned Ole Miss and ultimately turned them in. George explains why this isn’t “snitching,” it’s the first real attempt at guardrails in a sport where everyone complains about rules… but almost nobody risks anything to enforce them.

Then George reacts to Deion Sanders rolling out an NFL-style fine schedule at Colorado. The question isn’t just “is it tough?”—it’s the legal gray area. If players are being fined like employees, do they deserve employee protections? George connects this directly to the NIL contract chaos that keeps landing in court.

That leads to Duke vs Darian Mensah. After Duke tried to block Mensah from leaving for Miami, the sides reached a resolution that gets him enrolled for spring ball. George explains what’s next: buyouts in NIL deals like coaches have, or collective bargaining—because the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, and Big 12 can’t keep living in lawsuit season.

George also breaks down why Indiana’s national title is BOTH amazing and dangerous: it gives hope to every fan base, but it also kills excuses and fuels unrealistic expectations (“why not us, why not now?”). Finally, George drops his way-too-early Top 25 and explains why the Big Ten looks like the real gauntlet, why the SEC can’t live on reputation, and which teams (Notre Dame, Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Washington, USC, Arizona) could shake up the next season.

Chapters:

00:00 – Show setup: Dabo vs Ole Miss, Deion fines, Duke vs Darian Mensah, Indiana title, Top 25

02:21 – Dabo Swinney vs Ole Miss tampering: Luke Farrelly situation explained

11:20 – Deion Sanders fines at Colorado: legality, NIL money, and “employee” questions

23:36 – Duke vs Darian Mensah settlement + Miami transfer portal implications

28:51 – Indiana national championship: why hope can turn into fan delusion

35:29 – Way-too-early Top 25: Big Ten/SEC/ACC/Big 12 + Notre Dame talk
