The college football calendar needs change. But don't expect coaches to fix it.

  • Summary

  • This week in Charlotte, college football coaches got together at their annual convention and offered a proposal to move the window for players to enter the transfer portal. It was a nice start to the conversation that needs to happen in this sport. It also missed the larger point.

    Connor and Mitch tell you in this episode why the need for change in college football must be viewed from a wider angle than to simply address one topic on the minds of most people in January. Mitch’s co-worker at The Athletic, friend of the pod Scott Dochterman, offered a 10-point proposal to fix the college football calendar. Check it out here.

    We like many of Scott’s ideas, such as shifting of offseason practice sessions to June from the spring. We take issue with other aspects. Regardless, leaders in college football can take a page from Scott’s work and move to enact the real calendar reform that’s needed. Join us as we tackle this topic.
