Split Zone Duo: College Football Podcast Belichick's UNC Circles The Drain
SUBSCRIBER EPISODE: Richard spent a lot of this week making calls about the North Carolina situation for a CBS Sports report on the situation. In this show, he talks with Alex about how Belichick’s tenure got this toxic this quickly:
* What he’s gotten wrong in his first foray into college football
* How the business of Bill and the business of UNC have diverged, repeatedly, and why that will make his eventual exit ugly
* Why Belichick will not go quietly into the night
This episode isn’t just about UNC. It’s also midseason news roundup full of topics that we wouldn’t always get a chance to discuss on the weekly Tasting Menu or Hurry-Up shows. After talking about the Heels, we also get into:
* Auburn moving a game against Baylor to Atlanta, which infuriated a lot of people in Auburn: Do the Tigers have the business case they say they have?
* There’s now a tipline (snitch line, some would say) for NIL rules violations. So I guess enforcement isn’t going that well, huh?
* A new transfer portal window tweak is pro-coach and anti-player.
