## Resource

Bomani Jones is joined by Spencer Hall to break down why a 24-team College Football Playoff sounds inevitable — and terrible. They discuss how the Big Ten won college football’s money game, why the SEC may have picked the wrong horse, and whether expanding the playoff will ruin what made the sport weird and regional in the first place. Then Bomani and Spencer get into the new world of college sports: transfer portal free agency, Will Wade’s LSU roster strategy, Texas A&M oil money, Miami’s questionable money, and why LSU might be entering a full-blown black hat era with Lane Kiffin, Will Wade, and Kim Mulkey. Plus: Kim Mulkey’s shocking middle name, boosterism as tricking, Brittany Griner, and jokes that probably should have been left in the writers’ room. Learn more about your ad choices.
