College Football Controls the Future of College Sports; 3-Headed Sports Streamer Mess Gets Messier

Meadowlark Media CEO John Skipper and Nothing Personal's David Samson are back with another episode with host of Pablo Torre Finds Out ... Pablo Torre! Welcome to the Sporting Class!? Today is all about sports confusion. What is happening with the College Football Playoff? ESPN reportedly agreed to a $7.8 billion deal for the new 12-team College Football Playoff, but nothing has been signed yet. It appears that the conference just can’t agree on anything. Should the Big Ten and SEC care about the other conferences? What is the future of college football? Private investment? (31:00) Can anyone explain what the Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Fox venture is doing? Is it happening? FuboTV is not happy about this at all and filed a lawsuit. (39:50) Warner Bros. Discovery no longer is pursuing a merger or purchase of Paramount Global. What is the future of Paramount?

[@SmurfQueef]

When skipper talks, all I can think of is a cartoon moose talking to me about sports business

[@fexcab]

Staaaahp😂

[@JunnKhan]

Now I can't unhear that.

[@simontemplar9010]

He sounds a bit like Foghorn Leghorn...

[@hoopsfreak5]

He does have some Bullwinkle in his voice 😂😂😂

[@shameless721]

Samson in one week has defended surge pricing & private equity. Dude makes my skin scrawl.

[@TahiriVeila13ABY]

He's a creeper for sure.

[@chrisweidner4768]

He is owned by the machine. $$$$ is all he knows. Seems like a decent guy. Although either living his life with blinders on or corrupt as fuc. And this from a guy who enjoys his show.

[@mac-attack54]

I appreciate David's insights on various topics, although he appears to have limitations in NFL, NBA, and College Football discussions. I tend to skip those segments on his podcast. However, it's valuable to have someone like Pablo who can provide a balanced perspective and simplify things for David in a calm manner. If David acknowledged his areas of limited knowledge or ignorance with humility, it would enhance the show, allowing viewers to learn alongside him.

[@simontemplar9010]

All that's missing when Skipper talks is, "Boy, I say looky here boy"...He sounds like Foghorn Leghorn...😃🤣😭

[@BlessedAreTheCheesemakers]

It's very polite of Skipper to let Samson flail around, but it resembles a bored puma and a kitten. The kitten thinks it's quite a matchup.

[@LaCheeserie]

So these companies which are public universities, are the citizens of those states shareholders? What is their payout?

[@mileschennells]

Always such an insightful discussion. Thanks. I really look forward to these

[@charlesshonat8295]

Let’s not forget that most of the schools in the major conferences are state schools, not private entities.

[@aarondonald1611]

If David could actually see things from a different point of view, he'd understand so much more of the world than he does.

[@tyler2009123]

You can say that about almost anyone

[@tellinitMYway]

He understands the world of corporate finance. Very few people have made money being empathetic.

[@joshuagoslee]

Then buy him stilts

[@GoodGuySteveB]

This is one of the best shows out love the three of them

[@crunkburger9279]

Not Jeremy Foley getting called out by Skipper 😂😂😂

[@noledoubt3264]

I really enjoyed this. I think there may be something wrong with me.

[@abrahamgrigsby9300]

The point is that the companies are only sharing their content with each other, not that they have exclusive rights. It's price fixing, cartel behavior.

[@JCole2598]

David makes so much sense, based on economic principles

[@noledoubt3264]

22:53 upgrades to the stadium are happening right now.

[@LogicOverEverything]

They BOTH missed that FUBU joke. I seen it tho 😂

[@PorqueNoLosDos]

I want live streamed Sampson V. Skipper, bottle of Jack, shot after each point made and bare knuckles

[@bebosmetal]

No club posted despite it being mentioned.

[@Mr.KyleRichey]

6-7 is perfect to me, after 7 I’ll be honest, I don’t think after that you have teams that really are gonna be competitive in a playoff

[@cullodenrebel]

As usual Samson makes definitive statements with no foundation & no pushback, gotta love his ability to convince the world of the brilliance of his new clothes....

[@chrisweidner4768]

Not a fan, but thinking Notre Dame wouldn’t be happy with the 3,3,3,3 idea. At all. Never leverage the future for the present. Ever.

[@fexcab]

David "Everything Is A Company" Samson

[@jamesbowman92]

Can you make this show its own channel please

[@joshuasebold]

So what you're saying. Is the 5th best team in the AFC deserves to go to the playoffs more than the best team in the XFL. Shocking news to David.

[@LogicOverEverything]

The bigger question will always be why ppl think there is a PURPOSE in AFC teams competing in the same league as XFL teams 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@TahiriVeila13ABY]

9:31 So because Joe viewer doesn't want to watch some non power 5 team in the playoff, those teams shouldn't have a chance? That's an asinine, elitist thought. It sounds like something Samson would say and not Skipper.

[@Go4Yourz]

Love this podcast. I say this with every episode. Sports....Money.....Sponey H/T Chris

[@fwandg]

These guys consistently make me hate capitalism even more than I already did

[@billbixby7788]

Skipper should be running fucking Disney. Very funny how much of joke corporate bullshit is lol

[@jeffreyaddison9120]

David Samson is out of his league. He knows very little about college football yet is trying to act like he has the answers. Typical elite attitude.

[@ricardosalazar420]

I enjoy listening to him to remind myself the rich and stupid are rich and stupid

[@Horndogthehorneddog]

David has a valuable perspective and while yes his expertise is in the business of baseball and not exactly every sport but there is enough common ground to make his pov worth listening to.

[@tyler2009123]

@@ricardosalazar420calling rich people stupid makes you seem pretty dumb

[@michaelvincent7115]

He knows about business which was the only thing he was arguing about, not the actual football itself

[@LaCheeserie]

Skip was off as well. Super league not likely to happen.

[@brandon46and2]

This one fell a little flat. It's all hypotheticals. You're welcome. - Capitan Obvious

[@knealio]

BTW Skipper, the Wimbeldon "Futbol" franchise ended operations years ago.

[@nvisger]

You gotta have this podcast be something else other than arguing semantics. It’s getting old quick…

[@DJV7893]

Skipper sounds like a such a detached executive when he says that any College Football fan would rather see their team just play in a Super League than play against teams with whom they have historic matchups and rivalries. Thats the whole point of College Football, the fandom and rivalries. Thats why the Super League in Europe failed.

[@mlnbnian]

These two guest are incredibly boring, uninteresting, and honestly though to listen to

[@simontemplar9010]

David Sampson makes my ulcers act up; more than Mike Ryan and Stephen A Smith...

[@tedmich]

you may be allergic to BS!
