Jason breaks down the biggest college football stories after spring football on Rise & Shine College Football Big Monday, joined by Chris Mason of Sooners 360 and Coach Ricks of Coaches Talk.
The crew starts with the developing situation surrounding Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who has stepped away from football to enter a residential treatment program for gambling addiction while the NCAA investigates alleged sports betting activity dating back to his time at Indiana. Sorsby has also retained high-profile attorney Jeffrey Kessler as he fights to preserve his college eligibility, with Texas Tech’s 2026 hopes potentially hanging in the balance.
Then Jason and the guests dive into Kirby Smart’s comments on the SEC vs Big Ten power shift, after the Big Ten’s recent run at the top of college football. Has the Big Ten officially passed the SEC? Does the SEC need to win the 2026 national championship to keep its recruiting edge, brand power, and claim as college football’s top conference?
Topics include Texas Tech football, Brendan Sorsby’s NCAA eligibility, sports gambling in college football, NIL fallout, Kirby Smart, Georgia football, SEC pressure, Big Ten dominance, recruiting battles, and the 2026 college football national championship race.
