About this episode

The episode discusses the uncertain future of ASU quarterback Sam Leavitt and its implications for the football program.

(38 Minutes) Ironically, just days after ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham stated that he was encouraged by the school's increased financial commitment to its football program, breaking news from On3 indicated that Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt is actively shopping for a new destination, presumably seeking a higher NIL deal. My discussion with Cole Topham goes in depth on this recent development and its potential impact on the Sun Devils. We also examine ASU’s performance in the West Virginia win and whether this is an Arizona State team that is capable of winning out its remaining regular season games.
