DEVELOPING: College Football IMPROVED if NCAA Can Enforce "5 in 5" Eligibility--Marcus Freeman Buzz? Jun 26, 2026

Show notes

The new eligibility standard in college sports would give athletes 5 years to play 5 seasons, without redshirts or extensions of their playing window. The move would be a great one for college football.

Spencer and Tyler wrap today's show discussing the 5 toughest places to play in all of college football. Which major programs have to be left off that list?

REPORT: NCAA Could DRAMATICALLY Change College Football as "5 in 5" Eligibility Rule Could be GREAT Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

The NCAA D1 cabinet moved forward the "5 in 5" eligibility rule that would standardize things for college athletes. The move has far more upside than drawbacks.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses Brendan Sorsby not being eligible for the NFL Draft until 2027. What lessons should be taken away from this entire saga?

Colorado flipped another Ole Miss recruit in the class of 2027, doing so with a 4-star DL prospect that had shut down his recruitment. The Buffs are making moves on the NIL front.
