Episode Notes

The Protect College Sports Act could have major implications for the future of conference realignment, including the possibility of the Big 12 eventually expanding to 20 teams. Which programs should Brett Yormark and the Big 12 have on their radar?

Heartland College Sports' Pete Mundo breaks down his latest college football Winners and Losers, including two potential Big 12 expansion targets, Jerome Tang’s settlement with Kansas State, and Isaac Wilson getting his opportunity to start at Colorado.

Plus, why a potential 24-team College Football Playoff would be bad for the sport, college football television ratings are down through September, and Houston isn’t happy about another 11 a.m. kickoff.
