A different perspective on college sports

Matt and Bryan do an awesome job diving deep into all aspects of college sports. They are also incredibly curious, which leads to great stories and interviews.

Great behind the scenes look at college sports

This is a great companion to the Extra Points newsletter, but also stands independently as a great “how the sausage gets made” podcast for the college sports industry. Matt and Bryan are very good at pulling back the curtain and really digging into the nuances of how the college sports world functions.

Godzilla vs. Mothra, or pretty close on the Nick vs. Jimbo press conferences

My second listen after hearing you on the Auburn Observer podcast. Great stuff! Entertaining, educational. I always learn something new when listening. Keep up the great work revealing how some of these college sports processes work.
