How will it interact with the NCAA’s efforts to get Congress to write it a bill? Are Ted Cruz and Tommy Tuberville going to fight? And how seriously should you take the whole thing? * 36:10: Negotiations over a potential 16-team playoff format * 39:46: The drip, drip, drip of news about Bill Belichick’s relationship: Will UNC ever know a moment of peace as long as he’s coaching? * 40:51: Notre Dame and Clemson make a scheduling deal * 44:06: Akron, the first academically ineligible bowl team in a decade * 46:34: Jim Tressel’s new career in Ohio * 47:56: Arkansas’ state law and a House settlement race to the bottom * 56:03: Brett Yormark’s extension as Big 12 commissioner * 59:49: Private equity in college football: Have our views changed at all since this became a big story in early 2024?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com The Rice Owls have had 36 winning seasons since 1914. They once lost 18 games in a row. They have wandered from conference to conference since the death of the SWC, and despite being in a huge city that loves football, they have precious few fans. They are the only college football program to struggle so much that when JFK used them to justify going to the moon, everyone understood the reference. For decades, this picture has barely changed. Why is football so hard at Rice? To get to the bottom of it, Alex and Richard interview two experts: Matthew Bartlett and Carter Spires of The Roost , the internet’s top destination for Rice sports news and commentary. Among other things, the group discusses: * How a Rice game day looks * The program’s many downs and occasional ups, like its record-setting 2008 team that won 10 games * JFK’s famous speech that doubled as a minor dig at the team * How Rice fits into, or sets itself apart from, the city of Houston * Why a school that figured out baseball has never cracked football * The difficulties of recruiting to a school that cares about school * The school’s decision to get a bit more serious about football latey * The best possible case for Rice football in the next 10 years * VERDICT TIME: Stay in the AAC, drop to FCS, or stop playing football? This is the second episode in an SZD series, “Why You’re Always Bad." For the first subscriber episode, on Kent State, scroll down in this podcast feed.

Richard Johnson and Alex Kirshner close out SZD’s Offseason Vibe Check series with the Mountain West. How has everything gone for this conference and its teams between the end of the regular season and now? Let’s discuss: * The state of the Mountain West’s squabbling with the Pac-12 * New Mexico’s new head coach, Jason Eck, has been an FCS lifer * Utah State’s Bronco Mendenhall hire could be one of the best moves any team made all offseason * Fresno State gets Matt Entz, formerly of NDSU, and tries to find talent in unconventional places * Boise State loses Ashton Jeanty but has so much coming back * Colorado State has an intriguing group of freshmen and an ex-Ohio State WR * San Jose State tries to build on an encouraging first year under Ken Niumatalolo but has to move forward without an all-time receiver, Nick Nash * UNLV got Dan Mullen … and then some shaky headlines about its finances * Nevada looks to a familiar face, Chubba Purdy, to turn around a 3-10 team * Air Force is a candidate to be one of the most improved teams in FBS, but it’s not clear who will play QB * Wyoming has holes to fill at positions where it’s produced elite players recently * San Diego State tries to get back to basics after an ugly first year for Sean Lewis * Hawaii has athletic director turmoil on an epic scale Get cool stuff from SZD’s partners * Use SZD20 at www.homefieldapparel.com . * Follow Nokian Tyres on Instagram @NokianTyresNA , and learn more about Nokian’s commitment to sustainability at nokiantyres.com/sustainability Producer: Anthony Vito Hosts: Alex Kirshner, Ricard Johnson This is a public episode.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com Bill Belichick’s relationship with Jordon Hudson is the stuff of sports gossip legend, but we are most interested in what it says about Belichick’s ability to run an ACC football team. Alex and Richard discuss in this subscriber episode: * How Jordon filled a vacuum in UNC football communications * Why Alex thinks UNC should look for a way out of this marriage * Why Richard thinks that could be a substantial overreaction * What Urban Meyer’s Jaguars season tells us about the situation * What UNC is losing already and why The Athletic’s report about the program losing “Hard Knocks” is one of the biggest red flags * The idea of Belichick as a coaching hire vs. the reality in his current form * Where Belichick is already, however, providing some value to UNC * Finding common ground Further listening: Our Belichick “emergency show” when he was hired in March Producer: Anthony Vito Hosts: Alex Kirshner, Richard Johnson…

Part 1 of this week’s episode is the continuation of SZD’s “Offseason Vibe Checks” series, checking in on the Pac-12 and the FBS independents. You may be thinking, “Nice, but that’s probably going to be a really short episode, because there are just two Pac-12 teams and three independents at the moment.” Fear not! Part 2 is an interview with author Victoria Zeller, who joins Alex to discuss her new book One of the Boys and the deep research she did into the state of modern special teams development. #CollegeKickers are getting better despite lacking training at most high schools. How? Well, there’s a story there. * In the Pac-12, Washington State had the kind of offseason that Oregon State had last year, and now the Cougars have to pick up the pieces * Among the FBS independents: UConn’s doing well, UMass is at least trying something sensible as it prepares to move to the MAC this summer, and Notre Dame has lots of backfilling and an intriguing QB battle on the agenda * Victoria Zeller talks about “One of the Boys,” the privatization of special teams development, and much more. The book comes out May 13 and is available for preorder here: https://victoria.monster/#bookdrive Liked this show?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com Steven Godfrey, Richard Johnson, and Alex Kirshner check in on how things are going three-plus years after a blockbuster few days in the coach carousel. Over a few days in late 2021, USC, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, LSU, Oregon, and Miami played a high-stakes game of musical chairs. Nowadays, only a few of these teams probably feel content, and they aren’t the ones we expected. What can we learn, and what does all of this have to do with Southern Miss and Marshall? Producer: Anthony Vito…
Alex and Richard break down offseason happenings in the Mid-American Conference, which saw lots of coach carousel turnover. * Ohio: Tim Albin to Charlotte, OC Brian Smith replacing him * Ball State: An off-the-beaten-path coach hire, bringing on a guy who most recently coached non-scholarship football in the Pioneer League * Miami: It’s a Return to the MAC for QB Dequan Finn * Buffalo: Pete Lembo tries to follow up a surprisingly good opening act * Bowling Green: Has an offseason loss of a coach ever looked better than the Falcons winding up with Eddie George? * Western Michigan: Major staff turnover as Lance Taylor tries to fix it * Toledo: Jason Candle has a good roster (as usual) and spicy spring game commentary * NIU: Losing basically everything from last year’s team that beat Notre Dame, and also preparing for a conference switch * Akron: A portal exodus * EMU: Ditto, but Chris Creighton is a hard man to count out * Central Michigan: Trying something different with Army’s Matt Drinkall as head coach. We applaud the spirit of the hire * Kent State: Well, it’s really, really bad The MAC also has some realignment coming for this season, with UMass joining back up. They’re not officially Midwesterners again until July, though, so we’ll discuss the Minutemen when we check in with the independents. (Ed. note! We recorded most of this episode shortly before the spring transfer portal window opened, but we made a few updates before publication on 4/23, mostly to cover the late-spring firing of Kent State’s head coach.) Elsewhere in Offseason Vibe Checks * Big Ten * SEC * ACC * Big 12 * Sun Belt * Conference USA * AAC Subscriber exclusives all offseason long Two of them just this week! * What on Earth is going on at Cal? * The NFL Draft QB Tiers Special, with Ben Solak and Derrik Klassen And much more from SZD Paid subscribers help us make these episodes and get lots more of them.

(We’re skeptical.) * How does Cal replace an entire portaled running back room? * Would Texas reset the market for Dan Lanning? * UAB has a new wordmark * Is Mike Norvell’s hire of Gus Malzahn a last stand? * Why is institutional malpractice in the MAC not a bigger story? * Thoughts on Colorado retiring Shedeur Sanders’ number? * City schools’ difficulty getting people to care about CFB * Story time: Richard’s trip to Augusta National Golf Club * Alex’s running gear recommendation Producer: Anthony Vito Also this week for SZD subscribers Our subscriber episode on Nico Iamaleava leaving Tennessee:…
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com Alex and Richard react to Nico Iamaleava’s split from Tennessee. We’re less interested in where he plays next (UNC? UCLA? Elsewhere?) and more interested in talking through his last few months as a Volunteer: * The job done by Tennessee’s football staff * The way Iamaleava is doing business * How the state of Tennessee helped bring about this moment * Freedom to move around and live with the consequences * The idea of Iamaleava’s representatives driving the boat * How much you can blame “the NCAA” for the state of things * Do star quarterbacks really have so much power? * Why we think Tennessee is likely to come out ahead of its old QB Hosts: Alex Kirshner, Richard Johnson Production: Anthony Vito…
Rodger Sherman returns for our offseason check in with the American Athletic Conference, along with Alex and Richard.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com Matt Brown, publisher of the Extra Points college sports business newsletter, joins Alex to discuss a handful of big business stories that are all coming to a head around the same time. In this show: * The status of the not-quite-finished House settlement * Do we believe in the NCAA’s attempt to make sure that future “NIL” deals are really about the use of a player’s name, image, or likeness? * How power conference schools might divide up the $20 million per year that they will share directly with their athletes * Why Group of 5 and FCS payments will not be what they seem * Is the settlement going to provide a big leg up for basketball schools? * Nebraska’s AD will have the most interesting job in college sports * How might tariffs and a bad stock market affect athletic departments? * What about federal attacks on higher education? * Sacramento State is trying to move to FBS.

Alex interviews Dowell Loggains, the recently hired Appalachian State head coach who was most recently at South Carolina after a long run as an NFL assistant and coordinator.
