After his career ended, Mark searched to find something to with the rest his life. He got into the money mgt business and also continued to explore another passion, of his golf.

Another one has bitten the dust. Another H/C has been fired by a big time college. There is a very interesting twist to this story. The interim Coach story is a college legend for all the wrong reasons.
One of the P-2 Conferences is looking into Private Equity for more money. They believe there a reason for more of money grab. I explain the reasons good and bad for doing this.
The last part of the Podcast was dedicated to going into the the Dueling bills in the House and the Senate. The S.C.OR.E. Act, Safe Act and the TV Act. Why do we need that these laws or do we. Who is effected by these proposed laws. I explain it all the conflicts and differences.

I started the podcast with an update on the story of College basketball who continue to run a foul of the gambling rules. They are not betting, they are taking money from under world gamblers who offer these young money to fix their stats. So, the gamblers can take the inside info and bet on prop bets. Young men who are short sided and grab for the quick cash.
Next, the main story was supposed to be how the other conference may look at following the ACC in how they split up the conference media dollars. What is the good, the bad and very ugly of doing this and what is has lead to in the past.
The story became some what of an emergency pod. The firing of 2 head coaches after 2 games. I discuss why this happened now. Also, when it should/could have happened. Why more coaches are on the hot seat this early in the season, after a very quiet off season after last season. What are schools thinking? Who is pulling the trigger on these decisions and are there anymore coming in season and post season.

First, I do start the show off two stories, the first one involves a gambling scandal and what would cause a young person with everything to play for to throw it all away.
The second story is about CFB oversight committee is looking into and moving along changes on the transfer portal.

I thought it would be a good idea to catch with an old friend and Co-Worker, who is still Coaching in College athletics today. I wanting to get the view of a Coach of a non-revenue sport or boots on the the ground as may say. I want to hear first hand if all hell is breaking loose or the changes or just an adjustment for those who work in the today's environment of college sports. I stated today by catching up with Coach Thorton and also, an explanation of his day to day duties as an assistant track at Kansas University.
We moved on from there to discuss how the hot button topics of the day have changed him as coach having to deal with the Transfer portal, NIL and now revenue sharing. How recruiting change in these days of the Migration General of College sports.
Conversation moved to a short discussion on the U.S.O.C. (U.S. Olympic Committee) what, or if any changes will be coming for our Olympic teams.
I asked the question about the hot button topic of travel and if it's being blown out proportion. All I can say is, you may have heard his response come out someone else's mouth in the past.
We chatted about some former Gopher Athletes and their new and success and also, about two former Gopher Coaches who touched our lives.
We chatted about he is hearing directly from the athletes he deals with about college sports today. I mentioned what I'm hearing from past Gopher athletes. Their response may surprise you.
Lastly, I asked him to play college sport God for one day and you can hear his answer to what he called a loaded question. LOL

I start today's episode with the announcement about Coach Prime, Deon Sanders. Then I discussed a back to the future buzz and I'm not talking about the movie.
I read a list schools who opted in and out of the House settlement and why they did so.
An executive order came from white house to save college sports. LOL! The order itself does nothing to aid colleges in their fight to run an effective department. A lot of time wasted on this and I share why that is.
