Column: Pat Fitzgerald is the hungriest coach in college football. He pairs up well with a hungry Michigan State program. bit.ly/4fGmOAy
Column: Newly outgoing Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti is on a winning streak in the field, and he might add a CFP expansion victory to his collection soon. bit.ly/44Z9dzA
News: Notre Dame announces a nine-figure deal with SoFi for an all-sports jersey patch that industry experts say is the most lucrative in college sports. It's not a sign of the apocalypse; it's a sign of the times in college sports. It's OK. bit.ly/4fqSQln
🚨🏈New pod: Unionization. Another UNC embarrassment. And a lot of Big Ten talk ahead of the league's media days. youtu.be/dbksUTF1iQU
Links from a full week at SEC media days, starting with this overview: After three straight Big Ten titles, the Just Means More League has had to change its bragging points. Some reasons why the SEC has been knocked off its perch. bit.ly/4fdGsVJ
Column: “What he got put through probably would have melted or destroyed 99% of people in his shoes.” Arch Manning is better prepared and has better weapons for year two as the Texas starter. He’s also hoping to have fun again. bit.ly/4yEecmI
Column: Lane Kiffin unveiled Personal Growth Act III Thursday at SEC media days. But he still can't outrun his track record. bit.ly/4yyAB57
Column: Southern bro Pete Golding met the SEC media Wednesday. Notable quotes ensued, including a tacit defense of tampering. This guy is going to keep it interesting. bit.ly/4fpaa9a
Column: Southern bro Pete Golding meets SEC media. Quoted ensued. The new Ole Miss coach has the proper swagger for the job. bit.ly/4fpaa9a
Column: Auburn and Florida have crashed, which has coincided with the SEC's recent postseason downturn. Can two championship programs rebuild under new coaches from the American? bit.ly/4pRos7v
Column: When you're no longer winning titles, shift the subject to attendance. The SEC is coping with a recent downturn rooted in unsuccessful (and expensive) coaching hires and so-so quarterbacking. Will this season reverse the trend? bit.ly/4fdGsVJ
🚨🏈 New pod: Warde Watch continues in Ann Arbor. Where the Michigan AD job ranks. The SI all-time top 50 CFB players list. ACC talk ahead of its media days. What are (and would be) would be the scariest real mascots. @ksweeneycbb.bsky.social @bryandfischer.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCLW...
As @sportsillustrated.bsky.social staff, we undertook the most ridiculous task possible: ranking the top 50 college football players in the history of a 130-plus-year-old sport. It's impossible. We took a shot. Feel free to be outraged: www.si.com/college-foot...
🏈🚨New pod: To get July started and kick off a long holiday weekend, a detailed look at the most intriguing teams, coaches, players and games in every P4 conference. Plus, a wedding meatball foul that turned violent. @bryandfischer.bsky.social @CBB_Central youtu.be/InB3gg3qzzk

Column: Brendan Sorsby and his circle keep trying to find a way to play football in 2026, and keep getting rejected. It might be the best thing to stop fighting, accept the consequences and sit this upcoming season out. bit.ly/3SXpNwQ
It was a two-column Monday. The first: Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered. A portion of Congress has its knives out for the Big Ten and SEC, in potential payback for their power trip over the last five years. What happens next? bit.ly/4fZtLyL
Second column of the day: On Mike Boynton, who endured a bad ruling, bad timing and bad luck at Oklahoma State. He might get a second chance as a head coach in a better place. bit.ly/3SW524B
