Episode notes

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger get together to track the Baby Gronk saga as well as a possible rendezvous between the Big 12 and Memphis.

Late last week it was reported that Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark took a meeting surrounding adding Memphis to the Big 12. Yormark denies that he was in Memphis, yet his track record this offseason shows that he wants to add more quality programs to his conference, so the podcast calculates whether it would be a good move or not.

The IRS has stated that NIL donors will be taxed & the money that goes into a NIL collective will not be tax-exempt. Many donors are hoping that this rule only applies to donations taking place in the future and not previous sums that have been put into collectives.

Youth football player Madden San Miguel, aka Baby Gronk has taken the internet by storm recently after more details surfaced surrounding how his dad operates within social media. The show discusses the pros and cons of promoting your kid with such ferocity at only 10 years old.

A recent article has come out detailing the University of Georgia football team’s issues off the field. The guys acknowledge Kirby Smart’s lack of control over his players as more problems continue to arise for the Bulldogs.
