Joe and Eric go over the latest happenings from SEC Spring Meetings in Destin, Fla. The future of the College Football Playoff, the structure of NIL and the House settlement, and other aspects involved with Texas football like conference schedule were hot topics in Destin. A major thing Texas will have to contend with as it tries to remain competitive in the future is to figure out ways to get corporate sponsorships for “real” NIL to help players get paid above the revenue sharing number.

They then go over the nine-game schedule topic, which Texas wants to see. The future structure of the College Football Playoff will determine whether the league goes to nine games as it does not want to see extra competitive losses cost playoff spots like many in the league believe happened to Alabama in 2024.

They conclude with some of Sarkisian’s comments on linebacker made at Spring Meetings.
