## Resource

Ken and Anthony dig into the bizarre case of Cole Hudson, a player who spent time in Browns and Cowboys rookie camps and got a court-ordered path back to play for Texas, using it to blast the current state of college eligibility rules. Both hosts argue the NCAA's chaos around NIL, transfer rules, and eligibility has effectively made fans and universities crave real regulation, floating ideas like binding multi-year agreements between players and schools and mandatory progress toward a degree. They debate whether college football is now just a professional minor league in disguise, pointing to stars like Jeremiah Smith as evidence some players are effectively one-man free agents.
