Last Call | Nick Saban Just Exposed The Biggest Problem In College Football

Nick Saban went to Capitol Hill to speak out about the future of college football, NIL, the transfer portal, and the growing concerns around the current state of college athletics. On this edition of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker react to Saban’s testimony and discuss whether college sports has moved too far toward a pay-for-play model. Has NIL lost its original purpose? Has the transfer portal become unrestricted free agency? Should college football have salary caps, transfer limits, stronger regulations, and a return to more regional rivalries? Mick and Jake break down why Saban believes college athletics needs structure before the sport changes forever. The conversation also turns to the college baseball tournament, where Alabama, Auburn, and Troy are making noise in the postseason. The guys discuss the impact of St. John’s upsetting Florida State, what it means for Alabama Baseball’s path forward, and why the future of Olympic sports could be in danger if football’s revenue model continues to shift.

"The Film Guy" Brooks Austin Reveals College Football’s Hottest Seats

“The Film Guy” Brooks Austin joins The Next Round to break down two of the biggest conversations in college football: the hottest coaching seats in the country and who has the best QB room over the next four years? Brooks gives his full perspective on which college football coaches are under the most pressure heading into the season, including a deep dive on Florida State head coach Mike Norvell. Does Norvell have ANY chance to save his job at FSU, or has the situation in Tallahassee already reached the point of no return? The guys also discuss Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian and the pressure to win now with, arguably, the most loaded roster in college football. With Texas entering the season with massive expectations, how much pressure is Sark really under to deliver a championship-level year? Plus, Brooks explains why he trusts Kalen DeBoer to get the quarterback position right at Alabama. Can the Crimson Tide continue to develop elite QB play in the post-Nick Saban era? And where does Alabama rank among the top quarterback rooms in college football over the next four years?
