Episode Details

The Penn State football team is now in its summer work phase, following its return from break in late May. While important things are happening on campus with both the team and recruiting, we’re taking today to look at the bigger picture. Last week, the United States Senate held a hearing on the future of college football as part of its proposed legislation to govern the sport.

Reporter Nate Bauer watched that hearing and has been writing about it over the last several days. Today, we’ll discuss the situation facing the sport and what needs to be done in order to save it. We’ll also discuss the current Penn State Nittany Lions’ chances of putting together a strong season by looking at their veteran depth. 

We’ll also take your questions throughout the show in the BWI Mailbag! Join us live during the hour-long converation to ask your questions. If you want to know anything about the latest recruiting news, you can ask us in the live chat.
