116: A Monster Deal for the Big 12?

On today's show, we go straight in on how the Big 12 kicked off their football media days. 

We wonder if this is the start of a big push by the Big 12 to be the most relevant conference in terms of coporate deals or if this is jsut a carnaval show that will fall flat as time goes on. 

We also examine how the bending of the rules in the World Cup may have affected the US team's dismal performance in the round of 16, and the perception of the rules of the tournament in other games as well.

Finally, a discussion of fandom with an orthopedist triggered me to discuss the perception of who spends the most and who has the money in college sports. Does it make sense that a namebrand SEC team thinks an ACC team has more money to spend?
