Show notes
00:00 – 30:14 – John opens the show by previewing the Big Ten Tournament, which begins in a few days, and what we might see from both IU and Purdue. He also gives his thoughts on the NFL Draft, and if the Combine changed his opinion on what QB the Colts should be trying to get. Colts GM Chris Ballard was on the show last week; John talks about if he got any indication from Ballard that the team would break with his usual philosophy and actually trade up to go get that QB.
30:15 – 41:59 – John talks about the Ja Morant situation, with Morant being suspended for at least 2 games due to an Instagram video of him brandishing a handgun in a club, along with numerous other incidents in recent weeks involving Morant.

47:33 – 1:13:39 – John speaks to Jake Query of Kevin & Query about the NFL Combine, which just wrapped up over the weekend.
