Spring has sprung when it comes to the world of college football. Spring ball is here! A time when fans' excitement and anticipation grows to see what their team will look like for the upcoming season. It is also the time when the heaters begin to turn on under some coaches' seats. One name atop the hot seat list is Alabama's Kalen DeBoer. Although he has had a successful start to his Alabama tenure, it is not successful enough for some of the Crimson Tide fanbase. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this situation in Tuscaloosa. They also go down the list of some of the other notable coaches on the hot seat entering the season. That list includes names like Lincoln Riley, Mike Norvell and Dabo Swinney.

Then, the guys discuss the 18 Nebraska players who are going to arbitration with the College Sports Commission over NIL deals that were voided. How impactful will the result of this be for not only the Nebraska athletes, but all other athletes whose deals have been voided or may be voided in the future. Plus, the crew breaks down Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti asking NCAA President Charlie Baker to stop punishing schools for tampering.

Later, Ross shares all the latest college sports news coming from Capitol Hill in Ross' Congressional Minute. Then, he dives into the scene that took place on Capitol Hill between Senator Chris Murphy and Senator Tommy Tuberville as they debated college athlete employment. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what was talked about in that conversation.
