A new week and a new outlook on the state of college sports.

While the Michigan Scandal and Private Equity elements of college sports can lend to a gloomy outlook, there are some great things going on in college sports.

Fall Championship season continues to deliver as the FCS playoffs and volleyball tournament are into a final four, with volleyball having a pair of upsets, including an all-time upset of the #1 team.

We also discuss ND toning it down, Mendoza winning the Heisman, and then the negative turn of the Michigan scandal and the Big 12 taking a run with private equity.

Can college athletic departments get their spending in line? A guy can dream, right?
