The guys opine on this decision of hiding information like the naming rights deal and the AD search firm under DSOs and the frustrations of it from a public institution. It's malfeasance!

He states the possible candidates, the pros and cons (mostly pros) of each one, the speculation on the timing of Harlan’s departure, the department’s prior knowledge and why this is a win for both parties. We ask Collin our questions as we are hearing this for the first time and also take your #AskTDS questions on this matter and elaborate on what we believe the future of the athletics department will be. Since it’s been a couple weeks, we also dive into the most recent topics around USF Athletics like the Bulls opening game loss in the DeLand Regional to Oklahoma State, the non-bid to host, the state of the department as a whole, and Jamie goes on a Women’s Basketball conference scheduling rant and we’re here for this! We also go off the rails a bit and discuss the great idea that is Conference USA basketball scheduling, Scottish Soccer Scheduling and the American Athletic Conference moving their offices to beautiful Dallas, TX. #RIPClamBake To conclude, Nate, Jamie and Collin honor the greatest SID in program history, Mike Radomski, discussing their favorite stories and the announcement of USF Athletics’ Michael J. Radomski Memorial Scholarship. His kindness and passion for USF Athletics is missed everyday and this scholarship is a great way to commemorate him and help others like him.

The #POW6R Edition Jul 16, 2017

LIVE FROM NEWPORT, RI: Full of shellfish and stories, we're joined by Richard Johnson of SB Nation, Hali Oughton of the American Conference, and Josh Appel of Sports USA Media (that feels so weird to type) to wrap AAC Media Days. We discuss the conference's path forward, the glory that is The Clambake (it really is that amazing), and all our favorite things from AAC Media Days 2017. We did this with one microphone that Richard borrowed, so make sure you turn it all the way up as the sound quality isn't fantastic. Neither was I of course, but Richard & Hali & Josh are way better at this than I am. Enjoy!
