The 2014 time capsule, David Hale talks sinking Sankey & Miami's ACC to lose

About this episode

The episode discusses the 2014 College Football Playoff and features an interview with David Hale about SEC Spring Meetings and the ACC's future.

Let's go back in time. A simpler time, in fact. Back when the first year of the College Football Playoff was all the rage and hope was everywhere. Connor traveled back in time to 2014 to tell/warn a person from 2014 what awaits in 2026. ESPN's David Hale joined the show to discuss all things SEC Spring Meetings and why Greg Sankey's power position has shifted, as well as the Miami-or-bust notion for the ACC. Connor closed with a recap of his eventful weekend in Indianapolis in Lad of the Week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
