On this episode of CFE Andy Staples, Steven Godfrey, and Ross Dellenger react to the Big Ten adopting new conference rules that align with the Protect College Sports Act. Ross explains how the framework effectively spikes the athlete compensation cap from $21.6M to $49M, creates strict penalties for school-affiliated third-party NIL, and why attorney Jeff Kessler is already threatening legal action over potential House settlement violations.
From there, the crew turns to the field for a packed Week 9 preview. Who gets the start at quarterback for Ohio State as the Buckeyes travel to the Coliseum to face USC, and what does a loss mean for Lincoln Riley's future? Plus, a breakdown of a classic Big Ten clash between Wisconsin and Iowa.
To round out the show, the guys make their picks in "I Got A Feeling" and Godfrey delivers the latest edition of his "Hipster Minute."
