Power Auer: Riley Leonard to Notre Dame; Covid waiver’s impact on CFB & fixing postseason awards

This week has been filled a lot of off-the-field action; however, that's going to change this weekend! Nicole and Chris first cover Riley Leonard's commitment to Notre Dame and Tyler Van Dyke's pledge to Wisconsin. They then discuss new defensive coaches at P5 schools, proposed NCAA legislation, and more politicians trying to curry favor. Later, the duo answer two fan-submitted questions: 1) How could we make bowl games more meaningful, and, 2) How has the Covid waiver affected the game? All that, plus: The Troy job is open, fixing postseason awards, Dylan Raiola and more!
