It is six months until October, but the NCAA already has us talking about ghosts. They have introduced the latest rule change in college athletics and it is regarding 'ghost transfers.' The new rule impacts transfers who go to another school outside of the transfer portal window. If they then play for the new school, that school will be subject to a six-game suspension of their head coach and a fine of 20% of their budget. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the NCAA's latest rule and what type of impact it will have on the college football landscape. How long will it be until this rule is challenged in court?

Then, we move from the field to the court as Ross reports on the potential expansion of the NCAA tournament. The guys discuss not only how this would affect one of the best, if not the best, tournaments in all of sports, but how this could carry-over to impact the College Football Playoff as well. Will we start to see non-Power 4 teams eliminated from these postseason tournaments? Could a combination of rights deals between these tournaments be the future? The guys discuss all of this and more.

Later, one of the biggest players in both the men's and women's NCAA tournaments is struggling off of the court. Although UConn is having immense success in basketball, the continuance of remaining an independent in football is creating issues financially. They do not have the same pull as their independent counterpart, Notre Dame, and therefore only receive a very tiny piece of the revenue pie. The guys discuss the decision that UConn faces and the simplest solution of just joining a conference.

March Madness is nearing its end, and it lived up to the name on Sunday. One similarity between the final four teams in the NCAA tournament and the final four teams in the College Football Playoff is that half of the field is from the Big Ten Conference. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss why the Big Ten is having so much success in the postseason. They also discuss why the SEC, which has no teams left in the NCAA tournament, is struggling in the postseason. Is the Big Ten the more dominant power conference? Is money the only factor that has leveled the playing field, or is there more to the change in power?

Then, the conversation shifts to a team that is in the SEC. Lane Kiffin spoke to the media recently and asked the LSU faithful to have patience while he rebuilds LSU into the team that they all desire. The guys discuss how realistic patience is from the Tigers' fan base. In an era of yearly roster reconstruction via the transfer portal, should immediate success be expected? Will Kiffin be able to succeed quickly in Baton Rouge?

Later, the guys talk about the College Football Playoff selection committee getting some new, and familiar, faces. With a few members' terms up, former Cal and Fresno State head coach Jeff Tedford and former Auburn and UCF head coach Gus Malzahn will be a couple of the new members joining the committee. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss the impact of adding two more head coaches to the committee. They also dive into the rules of when committee members need to recuse themselves during the discussions and voting. Will these fresh faces provide some positive change to the committee?

They also dive into what kind of success they think Hoover can have under Curt Cignetti at Indiana.

Then, Ross discusses his latest story on Duke athletics.

Andy and Godfrey join in as they continue the discussion of how Duke, and schools it, has to operate to maintain success. They also talk about if this is feasible in the long run and how these schools may be setting themselves up for the next phase of realignment.
