| 5/29/26 |  Geoff Collins' College Football Odyssey: From Walk-On to Head Coach | Geoff Collins walked on at Western Carolina, earned a scholarship, became a three-year defensive starter — and turned that into a college coaching career spanning three decades that took him from DIII to the FCS to the head coach of multiple Power 4 programs. Seth Saunders sits down with the former Temple and Georgia Tech head coach for the second episode of The Preferred Walk-On Show's summer interview series.Collins traces his full path — from what jersey numbers 92 and 5 meant to a walk-on earning his place, to what he learned from Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, and Jim McElwain, to building his own programs from the lessons he earned along his coaching journey. He talks about why the lower levels of football made him the coach he became, what authenticity actually looks like in a locker room, and what he'd tell the next generation of walk-ons and young coaches.KEY TOPICS:→ Walk-on to scholarship to three-year starter at Western Carolina→ The stories behind jersey numbers 92 and 5 as a Catamount→ How Saban, Carroll, and McElwain shaped his coaching philosophy→ Why coaching at the lower levels is a lab, not a stepping stone→ Building culture through relationships and authentic leadership→ Handling adversity and external noise as the head coach→ Advice for young athletes, walk-ons, and aspiring coachesTIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Geoff Collins — walk-on, starter, head coach02:00 — Jersey numbers 92 and 5: what they meant at Western Carolina06:00 — How walk-on grit wires your work ethic for life09:00 — The mentorship moments that set the course13:00 — Saban, Carroll, McElwain — learning to lead by watching and observing the best17:00 — Why the lower levels of football are where you really learn to coach21:00 — Building programs on relationships, not just schemes25:00 — Navigating adversity and blocking out the noise29:00 — Trust, authenticity, and staying grounded33:00 — Who you surround yourself with matters more than you think37:00 — What Collins would tell the next generation of coaches and walk-onsThe Preferred Walk-On is the people's college football show.

| 5/26/26 | Show Me the Money, Pt. 2: NIL, Rev Share & the House Settlement Era | If LSU's roster really costs an $40 million and the House settlement only allows $20.5 million in direct revenue sharing - where is all of the extra money coming from?In Part 2 of our Show Me the Money series, Seth breaks down the third bucket of college football compensation: everything happening above the rev share cap. That means multimedia rights partners (Learfield, Playfly, JMI Sports), the new generation of school-aligned collectives, and the high-stakes Nebraska arbitration case that just blew a hole in how schools were planning to pay players in 2026.We get into:– Why NIL Go and Deloitte are now the gatekeepers on every deal over $600– How "warehousing" became the workaround — and why the arbiter just shut it down– The "associated entity" ruling against Playfly and what it means for every MMR deal in the country– What collectives now look like in a post-House settlement landscape– Matador Club, Texas Tech, and the new professionalization of roster management– The unanswered questions still hanging over all of it: employee status, Title IX, and whether NIL Go actually has any teeth"An estimated 70% of NIL deals from 2021 to 2025 would not have passed the smell test.""It's an upfront payday with a sponsorship costume on.""What if Nebraska just says, y'all can kick rocks, we're still gonna pay these kids?
