Petitti Pushes for 24, and Iowa State’s AD Calls Out SEC and Big Ten

About this episode

The episode discusses Tony Petitti's advocacy for a 24-team playoff and Iowa State's AD's comments on the SEC and Big Ten.

Tony Petitti made an impassioned public case for the 24-team playoff, and Ralph thinks he’s operating from a position of strength. Is this inevitable? With the Big Ten and SEC threatening to leave the NCAA, Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard says, figuratively “Hey man, go for it.” Plus, mailbag on the best position groups in college football history, whether recruiters still matter in the age of NIL, and why administrators can seem to work against their own fans.
