Back to EpisodesHow streaming may change the future of CFB Saturdays + did Bob Chesney already turn UCLA around?
Description
College football Saturdays could look a lot different in the future if streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video start to get involved. The groundwork is already being laid in college basketball as Ross Dellenger shares his report of Duke men's basketball's deal to have a select few of their games stream on Amazon Prime Video. This deal was cleared by the ACC and ESPN, but one of those games is against Michigan, and the Big Ten is fighting back as they claim they own the broadcasting rights to the game this season. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation as they look at what the greater impact of this could be. How could this change how people watch college football, and will the cable networks be able to fight off the streaming services?
Then, the guys narrow the focus to a particular college football team in Westwood. UCLA appears to have turned a new leaf under new head coach Bob Chesney. They have already landed nine four-star recruits in this recruiting cycle, something they haven't done in a decade. They also have a Top-12 ranked class depending on what site you look at. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what is going on at UCLA and if this turnaround is sustainable. They also preview how they think UCLA might perform this season.
Later, the crew takes a look at backup quarterback situations around the country. Texas Tech's quarterback predicament got the guys wondering who may have the best QB room in the country and how have those rooms developed into what they are?
