Summary
2025 was the year of coaches on the move, as buyouts reached almost $200 million thanks to big-name firings like Brian Kelly and James Franklin. Not to mention Lane Kiffin's big jump to LSU and Bill Belichick's dramatic struggles in his first year with North Carolina. Meanwhile, major legislative questions loom about the employment status for college athletes, as that congressional decision now pushes into 2026. FOS reporter Amanda Christovich and newsletter writer David Rumsey join Baker Machado to explain why this year was so important for the NCAA and what questions will be answered in 2026.
