About this episode
The episode discusses Nick Saban's call for congressional regulation in college athletics amidst changing dynamics in college football due to NIL and the transfer portal.
Nick Saban is now calling on Congress to help regulate college athletics, but many fans are asking one question: Why now? After years of SEC dominance, NIL and the transfer portal have created more parity across college football than ever before.

On today's Locked On Hoosiers crossover with Zach Seyko of Locked On Nittany Lions, Jacob Goins breaks down Nick Saban's comments supporting the Protect College Sports Act and explains why the Big Ten and SEC recently rejected congressional involvement in college athletics.
