Lane Kiffin's Insincerity and 24-Team Playoff Game Theory
Alex and Richard use Richard’s trip to ACC meetings as a window into the big college sports fight of the hour: how many teams will be in the College Football Playoff going forward. Then they sort through the Big Ten/SEC split over 24 teams, Ole Miss’ strange week as a national punching bag in the middle of May, and Nebraska’s first run-in with the new NIL enforcement system, which might be less the end of creative player payments than the start of better paperwork. In this episode: * 3:22: What Richard learned at ACC meetings, including the coming ACC tiebreaker puzzle * 7:24: Why 16 vs. 24 teams is the next Playoff fight, and how conference title games, ESPN, and FOX fit into it * 17:47: Why the Big Ten and SEC are on opposite sides of the 24-team debate * 37:25: Ole Miss catches strays from Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian * 47:22: Nebraska’s rejected NIL deals, the College Sports Commission’s first big test, and the future of athletic department creativity Producer: Anthony Vito If you like this episode, you’ll love a paid subscription at www.splitzoneduo.com/subscribe For $10 a month (or you can get a free month with an annual subscription), subscribers get about twice as many Split Zone Duo podcasts, as well as our coach carousel reporting, deep dives on college football history, Q&A opportunities, and many more goodies as we think of them.
