Indiana football vs Miami Hurricanes Football in the CFP National Championship puts Curt Cignetti and Mario Cristobal front and center of CFB. College Football Transfer Portal chaos is peaking with over 4,400 players in the portal, NIL money exploding, and Power 4 rosters getting reshaped in real time—Ohio State football, Oregon football, and Iowa State football included. George Wrighster breaks down why tampering season is basically year-round now, why overpaying is inevitable, and why this “free agency” era is testing every program in the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, and Big 12.

George reacts to the portal numbers hitting major brands (Ohio State with 29, Oregon with 25, Iowa State with 41+), plus notable names entering like Colorado football tackle Jordan Seaton and UC Davis QB Caden Pinnick. He also explains why living in the portal isn’t automatically a cheat code—Florida State football is the example of how portal-heavy team building can backfire if it’s not paired with real development and fit.

Then the conversation turns to blame. Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said “I blame the adults,” and George asks the real question: who are “the adults”—the NCAA, conference commissioners, athletic directors, agents, coaches, fans, or TV networks? And even if we could point fingers perfectly, does blame help… or do we need an actual vision for what college football is supposed to be next?

This live show also hits the biggest storylines around the sport: Lane Kiffin flying to Knoxville as LSU football targets Sam Leavitt, the SEC football’s “benefit of the doubt” debate, Connor Stalions joking about ticket prices like the Michigan scandal never happened, and why people suddenly love to hate Fernando Mendoza and Indiana football. If you want a real talk, no-BS look at where college football is headed—this is the episode.
