There is a significant possibility that Nebraska strikes out AGAIN for transfers from the state of Nebraska...maybe it’s time we stop putting so much effort into that narrative.  Frankie Fidler still hasn’t decided, and you know there is a committable offer out there – with a significant NIL deal PLUS he called off his decision following a weekend visit to Michigan State William Kyle has a similar situation to Frankie, but Nick believes Kyle is much more valuable... Did Fred not know Chucky was entering and that is why he signed Rollie Worster?  You could say the same thing regarding Gavin Griffiths and Frankie Fidler.

Student athletes are now allowed to transfer to as many schools as they’d like without having to sit out a year, if they are in good academic standing with their previous school. The Division 1 Council also announced changes to the NIL Structure in collegiate athletics – schools are now allowed to assist in NIL operations. Under the new rules, schools would be able to increase NIL-related support for student athletes, including identifying NIL opportunities and facilitating deals between student-athletes and third parties.

-The news yesterday morning during our show was that John Calipari was heading to Arkansas to be their next head coach. That’s still happening, and we will see what Kentucky does to replace him

-However, a local Lexington, KY news station spotted Calipari out walking his dog with a stroller. Do people do that? Would Sip push Bullet in a stroller?

-A big topic of debate each championship season is if schools not in the title games should root for or against a school that is in it….in this instance, Purdue in last night’s men’s title game or Iowa in Sunday’s women’s basketball title game

-This also hits in football season…were Nebraska fans rooting for Michigan or for Washington in the college title game? Is there validity to both sides of the debate?

-Also, did Jake or Sip pay attention to the eclipse yesterday?

-The storylines were all over the place heading into the title game—could Purdue do what Virginia did a few years ago and bounce back from a loss to a 16 seed by winning the title? Also, could Purdue win the first national title for the B1G since Michigan State in 2000?

-And for UConn---did the dominance continue? Remember, in the last 2 NCAA Tournaments, the Huskies hadn’t won a game by less than double-digits…did Zach Edey make it tough on them?

-Also, do Jake and Sip enjoy One Shining Moment? Do listeners still enjoy it or is it losing luster?

-The response to the hire of Sapp---who will be a “senior quality control analyst”—is varied, with at least one person (Mike Farrell) saying “I cannot think of any valid reason why a college football head coach would hire a person with Sapp’s criminal credentials and no coaching record to speak of”

-Other than that…what an interesting story this could be. Would Sapp be in Lincoln for the game in September?

-Daniel Kaelin speaks about the current quarterback battle taking place

-Kaelin and Dylan Raiola are very mature for their age; Sip feels as if they are mature enough to be in this position

-Isn't it crazy that Heinrich Haarberg won five games last year and he is not even being talked about?

-The way that Haarberg ran the ball last year took a toll on his body and caught up with him; if Haarberg were to start, Sip thinks that the offense would look different than last year

-Sip never worries about Raiola's work ethic or competitiveness; the weight is an interesting topic of discussion
