The Triple Option

Inside the College Sports Exec Order, Big Ten vs SEC Debate, and Who Owns Friday Nights?

The Triple Option

Show Notes

Clear hearts, can't lose...does it work in college too?

Coach Urban Meyer and Rob Stone discuss the Executive Order for college athletics, the first one expected to come from the White House. Urban takes us inside the reasoning for the five seasons in five years, the transfer rule, and the focus not just being on football and basketball.

Ohio State's newest transfer from Alabama made a statement that the Big Ten is fast while the SEC is slow? *checks notes* Yup, that's right, Urban takes us back to his first year at Ohio State and the transition to get the Big Ten on the same level as the SEC.

The guys wrap discussing Friday nights in Texas, where Texas Tech is upset they have a Friday night game. Who does Friday night belong to?
