Arch Manning’s future at Texas, the SEC football docuseries Any Given Saturday on Netflix, and the biggest college football power moves headline tonight’s live show. We dig into whether Arch Manning will “stay in school” beyond 2025 after Archie Manning reportedly told teams to take him off 2026 draft boards (with a hat tip to Bill Parcells’ patience playbook) — and whether that’ll actually be Arch’s choice given Texas’ win-now culture. We also unpack a Wall Street Journal deep-dive on how the NCAA lost control of college football 40 years ago (Oklahoma/Georgia vs. NCAA TV rights), why conferences and the College Football Playoff now dwarf the NCAA in revenue, and what that means for NIL, antitrust, and the coming era of player power.
Then, instant reactions to Any Given Saturday Ep. 1: LSU’s Weeks brothers are must-see TV, Brian Kelly’s star turn, and Shane Beamer’s roller-coaster at South Carolina (plus the LaNorris Sellers “what if” after his ankle). Would both seasons have flipped if Sellers stayed healthy? Next, we debate a potential College Football Red Zone after Roger Goodell said ESPN owns the RedZone IP — who benefits: SEC, Big Ten, or Big 12 — and does the NFL actually want to share the spotlight on Saturdays? Finally, we clear up Tennessee’s social media “non-scandal,” why schools are sensitive about QB optics, and how the attention economy + portal/NIL amplify every clip. Like, subscribe, and drop your takes live — this is where we keep it simple, honest, and unafraid.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to the College Football Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's your boy, George Rice, former NFL player, former college
football player, college football analyst, and the man that brings
you the truth and breaks down college football simply and
honestly here on the tube. All right, So today we
gotta talk about arch Manning. So his granddaddy, Archie Manning,
(00:26):
said that the boy is staying in school for more
than just this year. So take him off of your
twenty twenty six draft boards, and I love it, and
I'll explain what this means and how this impacts Anthony Richardson,
which is playing tonight and got hurt tonight on NFL preseason.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
All Right, the Tennessee volunteers, we got a.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Social media scandal going on, and we gotta tell you
what is the truth, and we gotta dissect the whole
thing because apparently they didn't want you to see somebody
in an in a video that they posted online. Well,
maybe you shouldn't have posted a video, fam Roger Goodell
from the NFL. He hinted that the red zone property
(01:11):
could be used for college football as well. Now, who
would be the host for that? Who do you want
to be the host for that? Leave it in the
comments and make sure that you guys like subscribe, get
notifications and tell a friend about the show. And the
NC DOUBLEA made a colossal mistake and they actually have
lost control of college football. No, and I'm not talking
(01:32):
about the nil and the transfer portal. I'm not talking
about Ed O'Bannon versus the NC double A Austin versus
the NC DOUBLEA. No, this happened in the nineteen eighties, fam,
and you probably don't know about it. But this is
why you come to the Other Fraid Show because we
give you the truth. We give you the truth, and
(01:53):
we let you know things that you can take behind
the water cooler and show off to your friends with
what you know. All right, So we are going to
start off with the man, the myth, the legend. We
are going to start out with that boy, arch Manning,
so arch Manny, his granddaddy, Archie Many came out and said, listen,
take the kid off your draft board for twenty twenty six.
You're wasting your time analysts. He's not coming out. He's
(02:16):
staying in school. I love this. I love it, and
hopefully this is a testament for kids that want to
go and play well at the next level in the
NFL and don't want and understand that the development is
even more than is more powerful than getting to the
(02:38):
league as fast as you can, because getting to the
league as fast as you can does not mean that
you are going to be successful. And there's history to this,
and a lot of this goes back to the Bill
Parcells situation. We'll tap into that for a second, but
I want to talk about Archie Manning because he's the
same guy that orchestrated Eli Manning getting traded after he
(03:03):
told the San Diego Chargers not to draft him, getting
them traded to the Giants, which was obviously a very
successful move and the right move for them and their family,
and it turned out well for Philip Rivers overall as well.
So Archie is clearly running this show. It ain't Cooper,
it a Peyton, and it ain't Eli. Archie's running the show.
(03:28):
He got his first two sons to do it. And
now he understands that there's a different level of process.
And Arche is already making four or five million dollars
this year or more because he's got brand deals, he's
got endorsements, he's got all of this stuff. So money
ain't the issue. The issue is that he wants to
go to the NFL and be able to be successful
(03:50):
long term. And this is great for Texas, right because Texas,
you don't have to worry about your quarterback for next season.
You know who he's gonna be. You have to worry
about developing him. And now you're gonna have back to
back opportunities to win a national championship. Because this is
by far the most hyped quarterback, more than Trevor Lawrence
(04:13):
coming out of high school, more than justin Fields, more
than any of these other quinn ewers, more than any
of these other big name quarterbacks that have come out
in the last few years. Arch is at the top
of the line in terms of hype that we have
ever seen. So Texas, this is great for their recruiting
(04:35):
because they have stability. And also, if you are a
quarterback getting recruited by Sark.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
What does this say to you? This says, hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
If Arch can wait his turn and he might be
the first pick in the draft next year, you can
do the same thing and you can develop and stay
and make the right move for yourself instead of just
chasing temporary dreams. All right, So This goes to the
Bill Parcells school of drafting quarterbacks. He says, for that,
(05:09):
there's a seven point checklist for drafting a quarterback. And
mind you, when you do this, this is damn near foolproof.
Can you get away without it? Yes, But most of
the time, No. Number one be a three year starter.
Number two be a senior in college. Number three graduate
from college. Number four start at least thirty games. Number
(05:31):
five win at least twenty three games. Number six post
a two to one touchdown to interception ratio, which that
should be in this day and age. That's easy work
and complete greater than sixty percent of your passes, which
in the lateral pass game in this day and age,
that should be moved up to about sixty five percent
if we really be being real, and arch is going
(05:54):
to eclipse all of those things if he stays in
school like his grand that the art said, Archie said,
that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So this makes all the sense in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Now, how does this relate to Anthony Richardson who got
hurt today in the preseason game. Now, I'm gonna put
it on and you guys can see it. How he
got hurt because this is a case of inexperience and
this was his entire fault. This was literally Anthony Richardson's
(06:28):
entire fault that he got hurt. So let's see the play.
So you see here, this is a full slide to
the left. This is day one protection. So you have
these three guys on the bottom of the screen. Here
on the bottom of the screen here, the back is
(06:49):
free releasing. So Anthony richards sho should be looking.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
To the right.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Because he knows that he's protected on the left and
if anybody is it could come from the right, and
he's not, and he's hot off there, but you know what,
his inexperience says, nope, and then he gets hit in
the face. He gets hit in the face. And Anthony
Richardson is the guy. He is the poster child for
(07:16):
exactly why you need to stay your button school, the
exact reason why you need to stay your button school.
And instead of trying to chase that money that quick
he's the exact reason because there's nothing about him that
was ready and so quickly on. Anthony Richardson, if I
were the coats, oh man, I didn't have the damn
(07:39):
thing up upright. But anyways, Anthony Richardson, he is the guy.
He is the guy that if that he barely had
any starts in college, you knew he wasn't ready, I
would have sent him to the Spring League this year.
(08:00):
If I were the Indianapolis Colts, I would have made
an agreement with him. You will be our starter week one.
We will pick up your fifth year extension. But you
gotta go play in the UFL because we need you
to get reps. Whole nother thing. I mean, just look
at the history of quarterbacks, right you have everybody was
talking about, Oh my god, vote next started, So he's
(08:22):
so old well able to have early success in the NFL.
Jayde and Daniels, same thing, a lot of starts. What
did the Patriots do with Drake May sat him down?
We're talking he's on the lower end with like twenty
seven games played, Michael Pennix junior forty nine games played
in college, and you got Anthony Richardson under twenty games
(08:47):
started in college. Come on, man, there's no there's exactly
why this makes sense. Trey Lance, same thing, barely any starts.
We have a higher success chance with a quarterback if
you follow Bill Parcelles rules. All right, next thing up,
(09:08):
we have a social media of firestorm going on. We
have a social media firestorm going on in terms of
the University of Tennessee. So let me see if I
can get the screen share right this time. So the
University of Tennessee, they put up this oh wrong US
(09:33):
screen Okay, hold on, give me just the second. I
will get this thing right for you guys. Okay, So
the University of Tennessee. What they did is they decided
that they were going to put some things up on
their social media right that they were going to that
(09:55):
they were going to share stuff from what's going on
in camp?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
All right, finally I got it.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So they said they were gonna show stuff, you know,
like everybody does. They post highlights from camp and everything else. Well,
here is what people noticed from that. They noticed that
the University of Tennessee, instead of just posting a normal video, what.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
They decided to do was this.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
They blurred out that circle and everybody was like, holdo,
is that the quarterback that through this interception? And they
were trying to protect who through the interception? Well, according
to JD. Picel from on three, he says that he
has it on good knowledge that that was actually not
the quarterback who threw the interception, who through the interception
(10:47):
that was blurred out, but that was an actual player
who was hurt, who was in a red jersey. Now
I'm trying to I'm looking back here. I'm trying to
see is there a quarterback back there? Because there's another
player over there next to him in a jersey and
we don't see no other players.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So here's the question.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Are we looking at a situation where the University of
Tennessee is full of ish and they actually are trying
to protect who threw that interception because they don't want
him to face any backlash if that could be their
starter or whatever else. Because that, honestly don't make a
whole lot of sense to me. Dun't why you blurn
(11:30):
somebody out. If you gotta blur a player out, you
probably should not have posted the video to begin with.
Do you know how much time it takes to blur
somebody out in a video as opposed to just say
we're not gonna post that clip.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Hell, you could have cropped the clip.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
There's plenty of other options besides blurring it out. Now
they say all all press is good press, but I
would say that, yes, we're talking about the University of Tennessee,
we're not talking about it in a positive way right now.
So the question is do you believe that that was
the quarterback and they were trying to protect the quarterback
(12:08):
or were they trying to say there was an injured
position player in a non contact jersey. Which do you
believe the blur out was. What should you believe is
Tennessee full of it or they keeping it real and
keeping it abuck. That's what's up there. The next thing
that we got on tap is of the Wall Street Journal.
(12:34):
The Wall Street Journal, they published an article and.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I thought it was excellent.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I thought it was excellent because it taught, it gives
history on the ncuble. A and I have talked at
nauseum on here on George Reister's College Football show, the
Unafraid Show, about NIL, about the transfer portal, about the
House Settlement, about the Score Act that's coming up, about
(13:02):
Donald Trump's executive order what all of that means, on
the previous live shows.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So make sure you go check those out.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
But they detailed something that people, a lot of people
don't really know because we also have talked about Austin
versus the nc DOUBLEA, which was a court case which
was settled a couple of years ago, which said that
they could not cap the value of scholarships at the
(13:30):
cost of attendance. So that means that schools could then
buy telescopes, laptops, computers, anything that you could possibly need
for school for the kids.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
So that was one thing.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Then there was ed Obannon versus the nc DOUBLEA, where
it involved name, image and likeness, the video game, all
of that stuff. So this one, though, this fight was
forty well over forty years ago with college football.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
So in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
The leaders of the NCUBA, which was led by Walter Byers,
who is known as an iron fisted executive, he decided
that he believed that people would not buy tickets to
watch games in person if college football games were broadcast
(14:25):
on national television, that people would just stop going because
they would watch it on television.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well, could could.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
He not have been more wrong? God damn dinosaur. So
he limited broadcast to one national game per week, one
national game per week in all the college football This
is how blue bloods became blue bloods because Michigan, Ohio State,
Alabama Clemson, all of these schools Oklahoma who had.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Been penned state, who have been good forever.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
They were getting those national televised games and you know
who wasn't. Teams that weren't. This is why they have
so much cashe now was because of decisions like this
over forty years ago. So there was a few schools
who were pissed off about this, and one of them
was Oklahoma and Georgia.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
And because they thought, like God, Lee, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Why is Texas and all these other schools getting all
this airtime but buyers. He would not budge upon this,
and he wouldn't even negotiate a compromise with the schools.
And he said that the NC DOUBLEA alone should be
able to control the TV rights. Well, hell if that
(15:41):
wasn't true, because it may have been true, but then
those schools they ended up suing the NC DOUBLEA.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
So for all of this, oh.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Keep politics and sports out of the saying, it's been
this way sports and these lawsuits.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
The coaches have even sued the NC DOUBLEA about their wages.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
This is why coaches salaries have ballooned so much, because
there used to be a cap on them and So
those schools they sued the NC DOUBLEA.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
They won.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And this is probably one of the biggest victories in
college sports history because in nineteen eighty four, the US
Supreme Court it sided with the schools that were suing
the NC Double A, saying that it violated federal antitrust law.
So for everybody that thinks that these nil legislation that
(16:35):
got pushed through, the transfer portal legislation that got pushed through,
all the lawsuits against the NC DOUBLEA, this has been
going on for years, for over forty years, you just
hadn't heard about these cases. Now now you look at
the power for conferences, the ACC, SEC, Big ten, and
Big twelve, they now generate more revenue than the NCUBLEA itself.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Think about that.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
March Madness is the cash cow for the NC Double
A at over a billion dollars a year. The College
Football Playoff alone generates one point three billion dollars. So
we got you know, the College Football Playoff is but
(17:25):
thirteen games total versus the and that just alone, that's
not even counting all the billions of dollars that are
generated in the regular season. So the NC Double A
has lost so many battles. But before we get to
blame and the players tark you all players are greedy.
(17:47):
They need to change. The coaches have suited the NC
double A and one, The schools have sued the NC
Double A and one. The players have suited the NC
Double A and one. So what does that tell you?
The NC double A is a corrupt organization that is
heavy handed, and now it can't even it has no power.
(18:09):
It has no power at this point in time. It
doesn't even govern the championship for college football. So the
question is why do we keep trying to pretend that
this is the way to go about it, that the
NC double A is who needs to be in charge?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And this is exactly why there needs to be collective
bargaining and there needs to be one individual entity that
the players Union, the College Football Players Union, negotiates with.
It ain't the conferences, it's not the NC double A.
You got to create something new, somebody who can actually
have power when it comes to delegating punishments, delegating anything else.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Come on, man, I'm over here preaching.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Somebody say a man, right now, all right, to make
sure that you guys like subscribe get notifications, tell a
friend about the show, and most importantly share. Go hit
that share button, share with a friend who needs to
hear what's going on here? All right, Another thing that
I was excited about. I was excited about the SEC's
(19:20):
any Given Saturday. I was very excited about that until
I watched it. And when I watched it, honestly, I
was a little bit disappointed. And I don't believe that
I'm the only one that was disappointed by Any Given Saturday.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It was it was okay, I will give it. It
was okay.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And in the first episode, honestly, it threw me for
a loop. It did because I thought it was going
to be better because the trailer. The trailer intrigued me.
The trailer got me. So I'm gonna put it up
so you guys can see. Yeah, it was the trailer
(20:08):
for the SEC that that that got me.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
How could we hate this? How could we hate this?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
But I did believe initially that the propaganda listen, all right,
(20:36):
So I when when I saw this, I was like,
oh my god, this is.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Terrible for the Big Ten. Terrible for the Big Ten.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Why on earth would you allow the s the SEC
to have this advantage? Over you because you decide, because
they were the first ones to the table. Because we
have seen Drive to Survive, We've seen about f one,
we've seen full Swing for golf, We've seen the tennis
(21:05):
one as well on Netflix. So this SEC one, this
had the the potential to continue the SEC propaganda push.
This had the opportunity to to be the thing that
continues the SEC talking points, We're the best conference and
(21:27):
all of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
It had that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
But episode one should have been episode number number two
because it featured LSU. And now what first thing is
the Weeks brothers. They're absolutely stars and like I would
watch a hunting and hunting and lifestyle show about them,
and you can tell that Brian Kelly there, they're head coach.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
He thinks that he's a star. Oh He's like, yeah,
I'm start of this show. Baby, I'm the star.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And it came off to me as a little bit
disingenuous with Brian Kelly. And but then I don't know
the man like that, so I was like, you know,
and he is by like it feels like he knew
(22:28):
that the cameras were were there and he was trying
to put on a show for the cameras. That's what
it felt like with LSU. And you guys can drop
in the comments, drop dropping the chat. What did you
think about LSU in the situation? Because I was like,
I don't I don't know. I just wasn't feeling Brian
(22:49):
Brian Kelly on that on that level. And y'all can
tell me what y'all thought about it, all right, So
you got Shane Beemer, you guys may make sure you
drop your stuff in the comments.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Get to it in the comments as well.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
So then you got Shane Bieber over at South Carolina
Ups and Downs, and you really like Leonora Sellers in there.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Oh, I liked him.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And then when you get to the Florida situation with
Billy Napier, that was actually compelling because you got a
chance to get inside of the sausage factory with DJ Lagway,
and you got a chance to get into the sausage
factory with Graham Merch, who was the actual starter. And
you actually really end up liking Billy Napier, DJ Lagway
(23:33):
and Graham Merch throughout the whole entire episode. So I'm
gonna finish the whole thing this week. Episode one. Man,
I didn't love it. Episode two. I'm in on episode two,
even the kids, because when I turned it on with
my wife, my wife was like, bright, this is a snoozer.
This is a snoozer. And then it just continued to
(23:55):
get better and better and better. All Right, the next
thing up and the last thing up, uh, Roger Goodell,
commissioner of the NFL. So he got on the tube
and you know, talking about ESPN purchasing the rights to
the NFL network red zone and all of this stuff.
(24:18):
And then you actually had Roger Goodell on on Sports
Center and here is what he had to say about
about the future of things. But also he said something
very interesting about college football. So no changes for the
(25:14):
NFL fans, but there could be a college.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Football red zone.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
So I'll less you, guys, if there is a college
football red zone, who would you want to be the host?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Now? Mind you, I don't. I don't think that.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's the proper job for me, because number one, your
boys a little too opinionated. I don't think I can
sit up there and just go from play to play
to play, pretend to be excited and have no commentary
on it. That's just not my jam because that's just
not what I do, even though.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
You know your boy hosting is good on its own.
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Roger Goodell and said that ESPN now owns the Red
Zone IP and electro property and can use it however
they want. So you know, he said the NFL is
not in competitive that they are not competitors with the
NBA or MLB. They are Google and Apple, That's who.
(26:17):
That's who he compared it to. So the question is
how would this work? Right, So ESPN which owns the
broadcast rights to the SEC and ACC, so if they
got Red Zone, how would that then impact the Big
(26:38):
ten and Big twelve? Because ESPN is already accused of
SEC biased and SEC propaganda, which I will rubber stamp that.
There is definitely that they need more people on the
network that are going to be unbiased and talk about
what's really going on in college football, not from just
(26:58):
a slant that their partners are with. And I understand it.
I understand how business works. Yes, you are gonna have
way more SEC people on there, but you know we
need some of them Big ten, Big twelve ACC people,
especially people like your boy who are going to be
unbiased and tell the truth. But this is a platform
(27:20):
here on The Unafraid Show where we get to do that,
and this is why I need you guys to share
so we can continue to do it.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
But here's the truth.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Roger Goodell does not care and is not interested in
college football at all, not even a little bit. The
only thing he cares about in terms of college football
because if he had it his way and the owners
had it their way, they would play football on Saturdays
and Sundays throughout the whole entire season.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
They would.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
You see how they stepped on the NBA with Christmas.
They stepped on the you know, the NBA was like, okay,
we'll play on Thanksgiving, and the NFL was like, so what it.
Then let's see how this works out for you. So
it doesn't matter. The only thing that the NFL owners
and that they care about when it comes to college
(28:11):
football is one thing, one thing, and one thing only,
and that is the pipeline the NFL draft the players.
That is all they care about is players who are
coming out and going to the NFL. They don't give
a damn about nobody else in between. And that's the truth.
(28:31):
And you can just book it, but you guys thought
that's the end of Unafraid Show, George Reiser's college football podcast.
Make sure that you like, subscribe, get notifications, tell a
friend about the show.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Peace out. We will catch you guys on Tuesday.
Welcome to the College Football Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's your boy, George Rice, former NFL player, former college
football player, college football analyst, and the man that brings
you the truth and breaks down college football simply and
honestly here on the tube. All right, So today we
gotta talk about arch Manning. So his granddaddy, Archie Manning,
(00:26):
said that the boy is staying in school for more
than just this year. So take him off of your
twenty twenty six draft boards, and I love it, and
I'll explain what this means and how this impacts Anthony Richardson,
which is playing tonight and got hurt tonight on NFL preseason.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
All Right, the Tennessee volunteers, we got a.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Social media scandal going on, and we gotta tell you
what is the truth, and we gotta dissect the whole
thing because apparently they didn't want you to see somebody
in an in a video that they posted online. Well,
maybe you shouldn't have posted a video, fam Roger Goodell
from the NFL. He hinted that the red zone property
(01:11):
could be used for college football as well. Now, who
would be the host for that? Who do you want
to be the host for that? Leave it in the
comments and make sure that you guys like subscribe, get
notifications and tell a friend about the show. And the
NC DOUBLEA made a colossal mistake and they actually have
lost control of college football. No, and I'm not talking
(01:32):
about the nil and the transfer portal. I'm not talking
about Ed O'Bannon versus the NC double A Austin versus
the NC DOUBLEA. No, this happened in the nineteen eighties, fam,
and you probably don't know about it. But this is
why you come to the Other Fraid Show because we
give you the truth. We give you the truth, and
(01:53):
we let you know things that you can take behind
the water cooler and show off to your friends with
what you know. All right, So we are going to
start off with the man, the myth, the legend. We
are going to start out with that boy, arch Manning,
so arch Manny, his granddaddy, Archie Many came out and said, listen,
take the kid off your draft board for twenty twenty six.
You're wasting your time analysts. He's not coming out. He's
(02:16):
staying in school. I love this. I love it, and
hopefully this is a testament for kids that want to
go and play well at the next level in the
NFL and don't want and understand that the development is
even more than is more powerful than getting to the
(02:38):
league as fast as you can, because getting to the
league as fast as you can does not mean that
you are going to be successful. And there's history to this,
and a lot of this goes back to the Bill
Parcells situation. We'll tap into that for a second, but
I want to talk about Archie Manning because he's the
same guy that orchestrated Eli Manning getting traded after he
(03:03):
told the San Diego Chargers not to draft him, getting
them traded to the Giants, which was obviously a very
successful move and the right move for them and their family,
and it turned out well for Philip Rivers overall as well.
So Archie is clearly running this show. It ain't Cooper,
it a Peyton, and it ain't Eli. Archie's running the show.
(03:28):
He got his first two sons to do it. And
now he understands that there's a different level of process.
And Arche is already making four or five million dollars
this year or more because he's got brand deals, he's
got endorsements, he's got all of this stuff. So money
ain't the issue. The issue is that he wants to
go to the NFL and be able to be successful
(03:50):
long term. And this is great for Texas, right because Texas,
you don't have to worry about your quarterback for next season.
You know who he's gonna be. You have to worry
about developing him. And now you're gonna have back to
back opportunities to win a national championship. Because this is
by far the most hyped quarterback, more than Trevor Lawrence
(04:13):
coming out of high school, more than justin Fields, more
than any of these other quinn ewers, more than any
of these other big name quarterbacks that have come out
in the last few years. Arch is at the top
of the line in terms of hype that we have
ever seen. So Texas, this is great for their recruiting
(04:35):
because they have stability. And also, if you are a
quarterback getting recruited by Sark.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
What does this say to you? This says, hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
If Arch can wait his turn and he might be
the first pick in the draft next year, you can
do the same thing and you can develop and stay
and make the right move for yourself instead of just
chasing temporary dreams. All right, So This goes to the
Bill Parcells school of drafting quarterbacks. He says, for that,
(05:09):
there's a seven point checklist for drafting a quarterback. And
mind you, when you do this, this is damn near foolproof.
Can you get away without it? Yes, But most of
the time, No. Number one be a three year starter.
Number two be a senior in college. Number three graduate
from college. Number four start at least thirty games. Number
(05:31):
five win at least twenty three games. Number six post
a two to one touchdown to interception ratio, which that
should be in this day and age. That's easy work
and complete greater than sixty percent of your passes, which
in the lateral pass game in this day and age,
that should be moved up to about sixty five percent
if we really be being real, and arch is going
(05:54):
to eclipse all of those things if he stays in
school like his grand that the art said, Archie said,
that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So this makes all the sense in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Now, how does this relate to Anthony Richardson who got
hurt today in the preseason game. Now, I'm gonna put
it on and you guys can see it. How he
got hurt because this is a case of inexperience and
this was his entire fault. This was literally Anthony Richardson's
(06:28):
entire fault that he got hurt. So let's see the play.
So you see here, this is a full slide to
the left. This is day one protection. So you have
these three guys on the bottom of the screen. Here
on the bottom of the screen here, the back is
(06:49):
free releasing. So Anthony richards sho should be looking.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
To the right.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Because he knows that he's protected on the left and
if anybody is it could come from the right, and
he's not, and he's hot off there, but you know what,
his inexperience says, nope, and then he gets hit in
the face. He gets hit in the face. And Anthony
Richardson is the guy. He is the poster child for
(07:16):
exactly why you need to stay your button school, the
exact reason why you need to stay your button school.
And instead of trying to chase that money that quick
he's the exact reason because there's nothing about him that
was ready and so quickly on. Anthony Richardson, if I
were the coats, oh man, I didn't have the damn
(07:39):
thing up upright. But anyways, Anthony Richardson, he is the guy.
He is the guy that if that he barely had
any starts in college, you knew he wasn't ready, I
would have sent him to the Spring League this year.
(08:00):
If I were the Indianapolis Colts, I would have made
an agreement with him. You will be our starter week one.
We will pick up your fifth year extension. But you
gotta go play in the UFL because we need you
to get reps. Whole nother thing. I mean, just look
at the history of quarterbacks, right you have everybody was
talking about, Oh my god, vote next started, So he's
(08:22):
so old well able to have early success in the NFL.
Jayde and Daniels, same thing, a lot of starts. What
did the Patriots do with Drake May sat him down?
We're talking he's on the lower end with like twenty
seven games played, Michael Pennix junior forty nine games played
in college, and you got Anthony Richardson under twenty games
(08:47):
started in college. Come on, man, there's no there's exactly
why this makes sense. Trey Lance, same thing, barely any starts.
We have a higher success chance with a quarterback if
you follow Bill Parcelles rules. All right, next thing up,
(09:08):
we have a social media of firestorm going on. We
have a social media firestorm going on in terms of
the University of Tennessee. So let me see if I
can get the screen share right this time. So the
University of Tennessee, they put up this oh wrong US
(09:33):
screen Okay, hold on, give me just the second. I
will get this thing right for you guys. Okay, So
the University of Tennessee. What they did is they decided
that they were going to put some things up on
their social media right that they were going to that
(09:55):
they were going to share stuff from what's going on
in camp?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
All right, finally I got it.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So they said they were gonna show stuff, you know,
like everybody does. They post highlights from camp and everything else. Well,
here is what people noticed from that. They noticed that
the University of Tennessee, instead of just posting a normal video, what.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
They decided to do was this.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
They blurred out that circle and everybody was like, holdo,
is that the quarterback that through this interception? And they
were trying to protect who through the interception? Well, according
to JD. Picel from on three, he says that he
has it on good knowledge that that was actually not
the quarterback who threw the interception, who through the interception
(10:47):
that was blurred out, but that was an actual player
who was hurt, who was in a red jersey. Now
I'm trying to I'm looking back here. I'm trying to
see is there a quarterback back there? Because there's another
player over there next to him in a jersey and
we don't see no other players.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So here's the question.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Are we looking at a situation where the University of
Tennessee is full of ish and they actually are trying
to protect who threw that interception because they don't want
him to face any backlash if that could be their
starter or whatever else. Because that, honestly don't make a
whole lot of sense to me. Dun't why you blurn
(11:30):
somebody out. If you gotta blur a player out, you
probably should not have posted the video to begin with.
Do you know how much time it takes to blur
somebody out in a video as opposed to just say
we're not gonna post that clip.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Hell, you could have cropped the clip.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
There's plenty of other options besides blurring it out. Now
they say all all press is good press, but I
would say that, yes, we're talking about the University of Tennessee,
we're not talking about it in a positive way right now.
So the question is do you believe that that was
the quarterback and they were trying to protect the quarterback
(12:08):
or were they trying to say there was an injured
position player in a non contact jersey. Which do you
believe the blur out was. What should you believe is
Tennessee full of it or they keeping it real and
keeping it abuck. That's what's up there. The next thing
that we got on tap is of the Wall Street Journal.
(12:34):
The Wall Street Journal, they published an article and.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I thought it was excellent.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I thought it was excellent because it taught, it gives
history on the ncuble. A and I have talked at
nauseum on here on George Reister's College Football show, the
Unafraid Show, about NIL, about the transfer portal, about the
House Settlement, about the Score Act that's coming up, about
(13:02):
Donald Trump's executive order what all of that means, on
the previous live shows.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So make sure you go check those out.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
But they detailed something that people, a lot of people
don't really know because we also have talked about Austin
versus the nc DOUBLEA, which was a court case which
was settled a couple of years ago, which said that
they could not cap the value of scholarships at the
(13:30):
cost of attendance. So that means that schools could then
buy telescopes, laptops, computers, anything that you could possibly need
for school for the kids.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
So that was one thing.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Then there was ed Obannon versus the nc DOUBLEA, where
it involved name, image and likeness, the video game, all
of that stuff. So this one, though, this fight was
forty well over forty years ago with college football.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
So in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
The leaders of the NCUBA, which was led by Walter Byers,
who is known as an iron fisted executive, he decided
that he believed that people would not buy tickets to
watch games in person if college football games were broadcast
(14:25):
on national television, that people would just stop going because
they would watch it on television.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well, could could.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
He not have been more wrong? God damn dinosaur. So
he limited broadcast to one national game per week, one
national game per week in all the college football This
is how blue bloods became blue bloods because Michigan, Ohio State,
Alabama Clemson, all of these schools Oklahoma who had.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Been penned state, who have been good forever.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
They were getting those national televised games and you know
who wasn't. Teams that weren't. This is why they have
so much cashe now was because of decisions like this
over forty years ago. So there was a few schools
who were pissed off about this, and one of them
was Oklahoma and Georgia.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
And because they thought, like God, Lee, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Why is Texas and all these other schools getting all
this airtime but buyers. He would not budge upon this,
and he wouldn't even negotiate a compromise with the schools.
And he said that the NC DOUBLEA alone should be
able to control the TV rights. Well, hell if that
(15:41):
wasn't true, because it may have been true, but then
those schools they ended up suing the NC DOUBLEA.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
So for all of this, oh.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Keep politics and sports out of the saying, it's been
this way sports and these lawsuits.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
The coaches have even sued the NC DOUBLEA about their wages.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
This is why coaches salaries have ballooned so much, because
there used to be a cap on them and So
those schools they sued the NC DOUBLEA.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
They won.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And this is probably one of the biggest victories in
college sports history because in nineteen eighty four, the US
Supreme Court it sided with the schools that were suing
the NC Double A, saying that it violated federal antitrust law.
So for everybody that thinks that these nil legislation that
(16:35):
got pushed through, the transfer portal legislation that got pushed through,
all the lawsuits against the NC DOUBLEA, this has been
going on for years, for over forty years, you just
hadn't heard about these cases. Now now you look at
the power for conferences, the ACC, SEC, Big ten, and
Big twelve, they now generate more revenue than the NCUBLEA itself.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Think about that.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
March Madness is the cash cow for the NC Double
A at over a billion dollars a year. The College
Football Playoff alone generates one point three billion dollars. So
we got you know, the College Football Playoff is but
(17:25):
thirteen games total versus the and that just alone, that's
not even counting all the billions of dollars that are
generated in the regular season. So the NC Double A
has lost so many battles. But before we get to
blame and the players tark you all players are greedy.
(17:47):
They need to change. The coaches have suited the NC
double A and one, The schools have sued the NC
Double A and one. The players have suited the NC
Double A and one. So what does that tell you?
The NC double A is a corrupt organization that is
heavy handed, and now it can't even it has no power.
(18:09):
It has no power at this point in time. It
doesn't even govern the championship for college football. So the
question is why do we keep trying to pretend that
this is the way to go about it, that the
NC double A is who needs to be in charge?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And this is exactly why there needs to be collective
bargaining and there needs to be one individual entity that
the players Union, the College Football Players Union, negotiates with.
It ain't the conferences, it's not the NC double A.
You got to create something new, somebody who can actually
have power when it comes to delegating punishments, delegating anything else.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Come on, man, I'm over here preaching.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Somebody say a man, right now, all right, to make
sure that you guys like subscribe get notifications, tell a
friend about the show, and most importantly share. Go hit
that share button, share with a friend who needs to
hear what's going on here? All right, Another thing that
I was excited about. I was excited about the SEC's
(19:20):
any Given Saturday. I was very excited about that until
I watched it. And when I watched it, honestly, I
was a little bit disappointed. And I don't believe that
I'm the only one that was disappointed by Any Given Saturday.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It was it was okay, I will give it. It
was okay.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And in the first episode, honestly, it threw me for
a loop. It did because I thought it was going
to be better because the trailer. The trailer intrigued me.
The trailer got me. So I'm gonna put it up
so you guys can see. Yeah, it was the trailer
(20:08):
for the SEC that that that got me.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
How could we hate this? How could we hate this?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
But I did believe initially that the propaganda listen, all right,
(20:36):
So I when when I saw this, I was like,
oh my god, this is.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Terrible for the Big Ten. Terrible for the Big Ten.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Why on earth would you allow the s the SEC
to have this advantage? Over you because you decide, because
they were the first ones to the table. Because we
have seen Drive to Survive, We've seen about f one,
we've seen full Swing for golf, We've seen the tennis
(21:05):
one as well on Netflix. So this SEC one, this
had the the potential to continue the SEC propaganda push.
This had the opportunity to to be the thing that
continues the SEC talking points, We're the best conference and
(21:27):
all of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
It had that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
But episode one should have been episode number number two
because it featured LSU. And now what first thing is
the Weeks brothers. They're absolutely stars and like I would
watch a hunting and hunting and lifestyle show about them,
and you can tell that Brian Kelly there, they're head coach.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
He thinks that he's a star. Oh He's like, yeah,
I'm start of this show. Baby, I'm the star.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And it came off to me as a little bit
disingenuous with Brian Kelly. And but then I don't know
the man like that, so I was like, you know,
and he is by like it feels like he knew
(22:28):
that the cameras were were there and he was trying
to put on a show for the cameras. That's what
it felt like with LSU. And you guys can drop
in the comments, drop dropping the chat. What did you
think about LSU in the situation? Because I was like,
I don't I don't know. I just wasn't feeling Brian
(22:49):
Brian Kelly on that on that level. And y'all can
tell me what y'all thought about it, all right, So
you got Shane Beemer, you guys may make sure you
drop your stuff in the comments.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Get to it in the comments as well.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
So then you got Shane Bieber over at South Carolina
Ups and Downs, and you really like Leonora Sellers in there.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Oh, I liked him.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And then when you get to the Florida situation with
Billy Napier, that was actually compelling because you got a
chance to get inside of the sausage factory with DJ Lagway,
and you got a chance to get into the sausage
factory with Graham Merch, who was the actual starter. And
you actually really end up liking Billy Napier, DJ Lagway
(23:33):
and Graham Merch throughout the whole entire episode. So I'm
gonna finish the whole thing this week. Episode one. Man,
I didn't love it. Episode two. I'm in on episode two,
even the kids, because when I turned it on with
my wife, my wife was like, bright, this is a snoozer.
This is a snoozer. And then it just continued to
(23:55):
get better and better and better. All Right, the next
thing up and the last thing up, uh, Roger Goodell,
commissioner of the NFL. So he got on the tube
and you know, talking about ESPN purchasing the rights to
the NFL network red zone and all of this stuff.
(24:18):
And then you actually had Roger Goodell on on Sports
Center and here is what he had to say about
about the future of things. But also he said something
very interesting about college football. So no changes for the
(25:14):
NFL fans, but there could be a college.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Football red zone.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
So I'll less you, guys, if there is a college
football red zone, who would you want to be the host?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Now? Mind you, I don't. I don't think that.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's the proper job for me, because number one, your
boys a little too opinionated. I don't think I can
sit up there and just go from play to play
to play, pretend to be excited and have no commentary
on it. That's just not my jam because that's just
not what I do, even though.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
You know your boy hosting is good on its own.
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Roger Goodell and said that ESPN now owns the Red
Zone IP and electro property and can use it however
they want. So you know, he said the NFL is
not in competitive that they are not competitors with the
NBA or MLB. They are Google and Apple, That's who.
(26:17):
That's who he compared it to. So the question is
how would this work? Right, So ESPN which owns the
broadcast rights to the SEC and ACC, so if they
got Red Zone, how would that then impact the Big
(26:38):
ten and Big twelve? Because ESPN is already accused of
SEC biased and SEC propaganda, which I will rubber stamp that.
There is definitely that they need more people on the
network that are going to be unbiased and talk about
what's really going on in college football, not from just
(26:58):
a slant that their partners are with. And I understand it.
I understand how business works. Yes, you are gonna have
way more SEC people on there, but you know we
need some of them Big ten, Big twelve ACC people,
especially people like your boy who are going to be
unbiased and tell the truth. But this is a platform
(27:20):
here on The Unafraid Show where we get to do that,
and this is why I need you guys to share
so we can continue to do it.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
But here's the truth.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Roger Goodell does not care and is not interested in
college football at all, not even a little bit. The
only thing he cares about in terms of college football
because if he had it his way and the owners
had it their way, they would play football on Saturdays
and Sundays throughout the whole entire season.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
They would.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
You see how they stepped on the NBA with Christmas.
They stepped on the you know, the NBA was like, okay,
we'll play on Thanksgiving, and the NFL was like, so what it.
Then let's see how this works out for you. So
it doesn't matter. The only thing that the NFL owners
and that they care about when it comes to college
(28:11):
football is one thing, one thing, and one thing only,
and that is the pipeline the NFL draft the players.
That is all they care about is players who are
coming out and going to the NFL. They don't give
a damn about nobody else in between. And that's the truth.
(28:31):
And you can just book it, but you guys thought
that's the end of Unafraid Show, George Reiser's college football podcast.
Make sure that you like, subscribe, get notifications, tell a
friend about the show.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Peace out. We will catch you guys on Tuesday.
