Before Biff's interview, Andy breaks down a busy news day in college football. The state of Iowa gambling investigation ensnared four Iowa State players and three current or former Iowa players. They were all charged with tampering with records for attempting to conceal their identities while placing bets. The headliner is Iowa State tailback Jirehl Brock -- who led the Cyclones in rushing in 2022 -- but the true head-scratcher is Iowa State defensive tackle Isaiah Lee, who placed a money line bet on Texas in the 2021 Texas-Iowa State game. (Which Iowa State won 30-7.) (0:00-7:42)

Elsewhere, five-star plus edge rusher Colin Simmons from Duncanville, Texas, committed to Texas. (7:43-10:00)

Meanwhile, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick bemoaned the fate of Cal and Stanford, which still remain without a conference home. Andy sent a tweet that turned into a column that proposed a new Notre Dame-led conference. Hey, it's the No Bad Ideas phase of realignment. (10:01-17:07)

Then, Poggi joins to smoke a cigar and explain why he gives an anti-recruiting pitch to players considering Charlotte. He also addresses his sign-off at American Athletic Conference Media Days after only getting three questions. (17:08-38:52)

Later, Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com joins to discuss the Netflix Johnny Manziel documentary that dropped this week. Billy was a main character in the doc, and he takes us behind some of the stories that made it compelling television. (38:53-1:05:04)

Finally, the Extra Point is about NFL Preseason from the eyes of a college football fan. The NFL fans may be new to some of these names, but the true college football fans always remember them before they hit it big time. (1:05:05-1:07:32)
