Why Money Doesn’t Fix College Football, NFL QB/NBA Star Player Comps, & Texas Tech Coach Joey McGuire

Ryen opens with the Big Ten’s reported deal with private equity and why it’s insane that college football programs think money will fix their problems. Then, he chats with Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire about being ranked No. 5 in the latest CFB Playoff rankings, how Tech was built into a real contender, and more. Next, he and Ceruti give their annual NFL QB/NBA star player comps. And finally, the guys close it out with some listener-submitted Life Advice, including a bummer of a roommate and how to argue with your father-in-law about baseball.   (2:27) MONEY DOESN’T FIX COLLEGE FOOTBALL (20:34) JOEY McGUIRE, TEXAS TECH HC  (20:45) Reaction to the No. 5 ranking  (34:07) How they’ve built a contender in Lubbock  (42:13) Jacob Rodriguez for Heisman  (49:59) NFL QB/NBA STAR PLAYER COMPS  (1:20:29) ALLIANCE PARLAY  (1:23:39) LIFE ADVICE _ _ _ GAMBLING PROBLEM?
