UNLOCKED — Episode 482: Uncharted Waters (feat. Alex Kirshner)

While we take Memorial Day weekend off, we’ve unlocked a couple of recent premium podcasts for everyone — one on Sunday and one on Monday. You can get all future subscriber pods, as soon as they drop, by clicking the button below or going to this link.

Alex Kirshner of Split Zone Duo joins Justin and Dan for his annual offseason episode. The guys pick Alex’s brain about the soon-to-be-implemented revenue-sharing model in college athletics and how close it is to coming together. They talk about the changes coming to NIL, the power the NCAA is trying to claw back and the possibility of transfers turning into the professional soccer format.

Then they take a wide-ranging look at a different type of SEC in 2025, headlined by questions at Alabama and Georgia and more confidence at places like Texas and… South Carolina? Alex gives his thoughts on Jackson Arnold’s transfer to Auburn and how it could work out for the Tigers this fall. They also talk hot seats across the conference and why paying players might have affected the coaching carousel.

Towards the end of the episode, the guys talk about the story of the week in college football: The strange and somewhat sad saga of Bill Belichick at North Carolina continuing with a book tour and a CBS feud. They conclude with Alex’s plans to come to Jordan-Hare Stadium for the very first time this season.
