Yormark’s Big 12 Power Play, Jared Curtis to Georgia & Rich Rod Rebuild | GSMC College Football
Update: 2025-05-07
Description
Segment 1: On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we break down Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark’s three-year contract extension through 2030 and why it cements him as one of the most influential figures in college athletics. From securing a $2.28 billion media rights deal to orchestrating the Big 12’s aggressive expansion and luring Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Arizona State away from the collapsing Pac-12, Yormark has kept the conference not only alive — but thriving.
We explore the long-term impact of his leadership, how he beat the Pac-12 to the negotiating table, and what this extension means as the next round of conference realignment looms. Plus: how the Big 12 is redefining branding, media exposure, and innovation in college football.
Segment 2: We dive into five-star quarterback Jared Curtis’ dramatic commitment to Georgia — again. The No. 1 QB in the 2026 class and No. 5 overall recruit in the ESPN 300 chose the Bulldogs over Oregon in a decision that went down to the wire. We break down why Curtis returned to UGA, what this means for Kirby Smart’s 2026 recruiting class, and how the Bulldogs stack up in the race for elite quarterback development. But is Georgia the right fit for a QB chasing NFL dreams?
We analyze UGA’s mixed track record at the position, past NFL outcomes, and how Oregon and Ole Miss will pivot to targets like Ryder Lyons and Landon Duckworth. From recruiting drama to long-term draft outlooks, this episode hits every angle.
Segment 3: The GSMC College Football Podcast breaks down the headline-making 12-game series agreement between Clemson and Notre Dame running from 2027 through 2038. As college football enters a new era of playoff expansion, mega-scheduling, and TV-driven matchups, we explore what this deal really means for both powerhouses. Will this elevate Clemson’s ratings in the new ACC revenue model? Does Notre Dame’s bold slate — potentially including Alabama, Texas, and USC — strengthen its playoff case or create too much risk?
We analyze the ACC’s strategy, Clemson’s long-term flexibility with SEC scheduling shifts, and Notre Dame’s ongoing independence in a consolidating landscape. We also revisit the epic "Bring Your Own Guts" game and 2020 field-storming classic.
Segment 4: We kick off our Big 12 coaching rankings with a deep dive into spots 16 through 10. From Scott Satterfield’s rocky road at Cincinnati to Deion Sanders’ rise at Colorado, we analyze which coaches are trending up, who’s on the hot seat, and who might surprise the conference in 2025. Can Scott Frost rekindle the glory days at UCF?
Is Brent Brennan already in trouble at Arizona? And is Rich Rodriguez primed for a Power Four comeback at West Virginia? Hosted by passionate and informed college football insiders, the GSMC College Football Podcast delivers bold opinions, expert insight, and weekly breakdowns that go beyond the headlines.
Segment 5: We dive deep into Rich Rod Round 2—the dramatic overhaul of the West Virginia football roster under returning head coach Rich Rodriguez. With 63 new players, including 52 transfers, WVU is resetting its identity at a breakneck pace. We break down standout additions like Cam Vaughn, Michael Coats, and Jordan Scruggs while examining what this complete roster transformation means for the program’s future in the Big 12.
Is Rodriguez replicating the magic from his early 2000s run in Morgantown? Can this aggressive rebuild turn West Virginia into a conference contender again? Join us as we unpack the coaching strategy, player impact, and what this bold new era says about the modern college football landscape.
