Today’s episode starts with a serious discussion of the Black 14, a group of African American players at the University of Wyoming that were kicked off the football team for protesting racial injustice. This year is the 50th Anniversary of the events and the university honored their sacrifice this past weekend. Tim and Cullen discuss the incident and the general role athletes can play in social justice.
Then the guys dive into the topic of parity, or lack thereof, in college football. It’s only week four but it already looks like the playoff contenders are down to 6-7 teams, is that bad for the sport? The episode ends with a breakdown of this week’s monster games including Wisconsin-Michigan, Auburn-Texas A&M, and Notre Dame-Georgia.
