How The House Settlement Shakes Up College Football - Best College Football Podcast
Dan’s soaking up the California sun, so Ty’s flying solo with Extra Points’ Matt Brown to unpack the wild business side of college football. From the House settlement’s $20M payouts to EA Sports’ CFB 25 windfall and Matt's adventure sponsoring the Extra Points Bowl, they dive into the cash, chaos, and novelty jackets (hopefully) shaping the sport. Plus, what's the next big asteroid headed towards college sports?
Key Topics Discussed:
- House settlement unleashed: Schools can now shell out $20 million to athletes—Matt breaks down how it’s not quite revenue sharing and what it means for rosters.
- Rise of the College GM: From NFL vets to Excel wizards, schools scramble to master roster chaos, while some, like Kirby Smart, aren't sold on the idea.
- EA Sports’ windfall: College Football 25 crushed sales, boosted smaller schools, and sparked sequel hype.
- Extra Points Bowl: Matt’s D3 bowl saga—blue jackets, teary dads, and a trophy too small but full of heart.
- Asteroids ahead: Employee status and higher ed funding cuts—Ted Cruz and Congress could rewrite the rules.
