Most Polarizing Teams in CFB | Late Kick Live Ep. 154 Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 154 features Josh Pate discussing the evolving landscape of recruiting in the state of Texas. What challenges is Steve Sarkisian facing in Austin that may be relatively new? Are Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M Aggies caught up in the same potential dilemma? In the SEC LSU vs Florida is a game circled every season. Could this year carry added significance with the long-term future perception of both programs and staffs heavily dependent on the outcome in 2021? Also Josh discusses how NIL entering the College Football equation could end up changing the way the sport is covered and how fans view criticism against college players. With money being made by College Football players will there be a more "open season" approach to criticism the way we see pro sports covered and viewed?
