Recently, a group of my online buddies were talking about college athletics. Whether it’s was about the NCAA, ACC or the CFP, it was unanimous it needed to be blown up. After decades of failed conference realignment, NIL, Transfer Portal, Network Control, fans across the country are beginning to leave the sport we love. Our conversations led to fixing the problems.

Cane commit flipping?
