In today’s episode, SI’s Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and Pat Forde react to news of a possible bill that would prevent college athletes from becoming employees of the universities for which they compete. They analyze the complex nature of the issue and debate whether it is worth it for athletes to become employees.
After the break, Wetzel shares the slate of big games for Week 1 of college football action. They share their predictions and implications for major matchups like Florida vs. Miami, Clemson vs. Georgia, and Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame. Dellenger and Forde point to the potential of the Florida-Miami game to land the losing coach on the bench at the end of the season.
They end the show by sharing their displeasure over the decision to ban legendary diner Joey Chestnut from competing in the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on the 4th of July.
