As the Pac-12 plots its next realignment move to rebuild the league, do they have any real monetary value as they seek a new league and a new media deal?
Retired Fox Sports President Bob Thompson joins the show to discuss their options.
On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, I am also joined by Locked On recruiting insider Brian Smith.
We discuss the impact of 5-star TE Linkon Cure choosing Kansas State, and the impact of Kyle Whittingham announcing his DC his his replacement-in-waiting.
The Big 12 preseason media poll was released with Utah and Kansas State occupying the top 2 spots. Why is Colorado 11th?
Spencer also gives a “hot take” that might not be so hot.
