The Gathering of Old Men Podcast — College Football Chaos, TSU’s New Leadership & More
What happens when college football players currently in NFL training camps suddenly become eligible to return to college?
With several courts granting college basketball and football players an additional year of eligibility, the college sports landscape could be on the verge of another major shake-up. Could players competing in NFL preseason camps actually make their way back to college football this season? And what would that mean for FBS, FCS and HBCU football?
We’re talking about how we got here, what these eligibility rulings could mean for roster management, and whether college coaches should be watching NFL preseason film for potential returning talent. Is your coach using every available tool to improve the roster—or are they missing an opportunity?
Then, Texas Southern University has confirmed Ashley Robinson as its new athletic director and Corey Lowery as its men’s basketball coach. But after Lowery referred to Texas Southern as TCU, questions are already being raised: Does he understand the program and the institution he’s taking over?
Is the Ashley Robinson hire simply a basketball move, or are there larger implications for Texas Southern athletics? And could Robinson’s arrival have consequences for Coach Cris Dishman and the football program?
