Bryce Underwood's impact on college football, Darian Mensah's journey to Duke & a Week 2 preview

#15 Michigan travels to Norman, Oklahoma to visit #18 Oklahoma for the only top 25 matchup of the weekend. Michigan's quarterback, Bryce Underwood, made headlines in the offseason when he signed a massive NIL deal to flip his commitment from LSU to Michigan. The multi-year deal was reported to be between $10 - 12 million and left a large impact on the college football landscape. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey explain the impact this deal had on college football and what effects we are seeing because of it. They also discuss how this deal came to be and compare Michigan to Oklahoma ahead of their matchup. Plus, they chat about the Big 12 taking a different stance than the Big Ten and announcing that they are welcoming Dave Portnoy with open arms to their stadiums and campuses. Later, a different take on NIL is discussed. Since its inception, NIL has been a huge talking point across collegiate athletics. The media has offered up pros and cons, but much of the conversation has been about the negative impacts of NIL. Ross Dellenger wrote a story exploring the other side of that. He talks about his story on Duke quarterback Darian Mensah. The transfer from Tulane, who grew up with little money in a single-parent household, has changed his family's life after signing an NIL deal this offseason for a reported four million dollars per year. The guys discuss Ross' story and dive into the positive impact NIL can have for student-athletes and their families. Mensah and Duke prepare to host #11 Illinois this weekend. Finally, the guys preview what games they are looking forward to this weekend. After going 0-for-3 with their picks last week, the guys hope to do better as they make their picks for the weekend. Arkansas St., Kansas and Fresno St. are the focus of the pick 'em segment. Then Andy, Ross and Steven look at some other Week 2 matchups that have caught their eyes.
