Rule Changes, SEC Secession, and Big 12 Logos

This week, Ciarnan and Kev are breaking down some of the wildest stories in sports.

The boys also break down the Protect College Sports Act, as well as the NCAA's continued investigation into age based eligibility requirements, before diving into the history of Big 12 logos!
