## Resource

Rich and the guys react to Baker Mayfield’s latest comments about his lack of a long-term contract extension from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Texas Head Coach Steve Sarkisian and Rich discuss his expectations for starting QB Arch Manning this season, how the proliferation of NIL money is making college football more and more like the NFL, and how expanding the CFP field would impact the sport’s regular season. Rich explains why he’s 100% opposed to the College Football Playoff expanding from 12 to 24 teams. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
