This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com Leave us a voicemail telling us why you love college football. Details are at www.splitzoneduo.com. In this show, Alex and Richard take a bunch of subscriber questions in the run-up to the season, with an early focus on realignment matters: * The Athletic reported that despite a desperate financial offer, Memphis has not gotten traction in its effort to join the Big 12. Why not? * Why was Louisiana Tech, which isn’t very good, a good backfilling candidate for the Sun Belt after Texas State joined the Pac-12? * What do we make of conferences (the American and Big 12 so far) doing away with preseason media polls? * What do we make of Tulane’s addition of former BYU QB Jake Retzlaff? * Do we have any Week 1 game travel plans? (Richard does.) * Should Maryland fans be worried about the prospect of their school getting left out in future realignment? (This question could apply to lots of Big Ten and SEC schools.) * Why did a story about Catapult video footage access go so quiet? * Which is the deepest P4 conference for QB depth in 2025? * How are our video game dynasty builds going?
