The show opens with Extra Points founder Matt Brown explaining the administrative mechanics behind the College Sports Commission looking into player dealings and UNC football general manager Michael Lombardi. Sticking with off field college football dealings, he also gets into the differences between what Stanford is doing with potential player unionization versus was Northwestern attempted a decade ago.

Moving to the NFL, WFNZ’s Walker Mehl joins the broadcast to highlight the positive developments coming out of Charlotte. While Dave Canales' approach to resting starters in the preseason has been heavily debated, Walker explains why getting rookie offensive lineman Monroe Freeling and returning running back Jonathon Brooks game-speed reps in August is essential for Week 1 success.

Then back to college football with On3 national college football insider Andy Staples, who jumps on the show to address the wave of national schadenfreude coming from both NFL and college circles over the Lombardi news. While critics are eager to proclaim the Belichick experiment in Chapel Hill a failure, Andy agrees with Ovies that writing off the Tar Heels' long-term future is incredibly short-sighted. Thanks to UNC's massive brand appeal and desirable position in future SEC and Big Ten realignment, Chapel Hill remains positioned to weather whatever happens next. Sticking with national college football, the guys shift to Big Ten Media Days, where the conference continues to push for a expanded 24-team College Football Playoff format. What will it actually take for Greg Sankey and the SEC to budge from their hardline stance of capping the field at 16?

Finally, the show wraps up with another fun edition of "Hey Joe"
