Michigan Scandal Fallout, Frost's UCF Return & Portal Wins | GSMC College Football Podcast
Update: 2025-05-06
Description
Segment 1: In this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we break down Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore’s looming two-game suspension for allegedly deleting texts linked to the NCAA’s sign-stealing investigation. With Connor Stalions at the center of the controversy and Moore now facing Level II charges, what does this mean for the Wolverines’ 2025 season and national title defense?
We dive into the legal, ethical, and football implications of Michigan’s ongoing scandal, including the NCAA’s broader investigation into Jim Harbaugh, Jesse Minter, and Steve Clinkscale. From Stalions’ bizarre covert operations to Moore’s emotional explanation, we cover every angle of the fallout. Plus: What’s next for Michigan’s postseason hopes, NIL strategy, and recruiting future?
Segment 2: We recap a wild weekend of commitments and transfer portal wins that are reshaping the 2025 and 2026 seasons. LSU lands a game-changing safety in AJ Haulcy, the top DB in the spring portal rankings. BYU adds the Bachmeier brothers from Stanford to boost its future on offense. Notre Dame wins a huge head-to-head battle against Michigan for elite 2026 RB Javian Osborne.
And USC stays scorching hot on the trail, securing five-star CB Elbert Hill just days after OT Keenyi Pepe’s pledge, putting the Trojans atop the ESPN 300 rankings. We break down what these moves mean for each program’s immediate and long-term outlook — and who’s building toward true national contention.
Segment 3: In this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we break down and react to USA TODAY’s Top 25 college football coaches rankings — and yes, we have some strong takes. Is Kirby Smart still the clear No. 1? Should Dan Lanning and Marcus Freeman be higher? Is Kalen DeBoer already elite at Alabama? We dig into why Lane Kiffin, Brian Kelly, and Steve Sarkisian are rising — and who might be overrated or left out altogether.
Plus, we sound off on the biggest snubs: Jeff Monken being left off the list is criminal. We also reevaluate the Top 10 and reveal our own rankings based on performance, recruiting, and trajectory.
Segment 4: We dive deep into Scott Frost’s return to UCF and why this second stint could be different. After leading the Knights to an undefeated 2017 season and national attention, Frost left for Nebraska — where his tenure was marked by disappointment and a 16-31 record. Now, with UCF elevated into the Big 12 and new NIL and transfer portal dynamics at play, Frost steps back into a very different program.
Can he recapture the magic, or has the game passed him by? We examine the current state of UCF football, how the College Football Playoff expansion reshapes expectations, and why AD Terry Mohajir believes Frost is the perfect fit. Whether you're a Knight fan or just love a good comeback story, this episode breaks it all down.
Segment 5: We dive into the financial warning signs at Iowa State as the reality of revenue sharing begins to hit athletic departments nationwide. Cyclones AD Jamie Pollard revealed the school doesn’t have the $20 million needed annually to meet new athlete compensation standards, warning reserves could dry up within two years.
We break down what this means for Iowa State’s future in the Big 12, why fans are facing increased ticket and donation costs, and whether other schools might be next. With athletic spending ballooning and revenue-sharing looming post-House v. NCAA, is college football headed toward a financial reckoning? Tune in for expert analysis, bold predictions, and the deeper implications for both Power 4 and Group of 5 programs.
