Tyler Hale and Stefan Van Engen produce.The following are excerpts from the show:(PAUL FINEBAUM ON THE ISSUE OF AGENTS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL):I don’t think it’s as big as we have made it, as Nick Saban and Urban Meyer have made it. It’s just one of these things that bubbles over. When you have a party like we had in South Beach with this many players, it’s hard to run away from it. I hope the NCAA reacts to this or acts very intelligently. This is a serious issue if they start wiping out programs like we saw in the first week. At the end of the day, all the conference calls with Roger Goodell are not going to solve the problem. There are certain agents who are really bad people that are going to prey on young people like coaches prey on them and like everyone preys on them. And all of this conversation is not going to solve the problem.(FINEBAUM ON BOISE STATE’S REPUTATION IN THE SEC):People down here, if you live in the south, they don’t like Boise, they don’t respect Boise.(BRUCE HOOLEY ON THE BIG TEN’S NEW DIVISIONS):I think they whiffed on Minnesota and Indiana. They pretty much split up the existing rivals. One in one division and one in another. For some reason, they kept Purdue and Indiana together, which gives us some weird cross-over games, annual games that will be played just like Ohio State – Michigan. Iowa – Purdue, is that a game everybody’s clamoring for? If you had flipped Minnesota and Indiana in the divisions, you would have done Wisconsin a lot bigger favor. Now the Badgers are secluded in a division opposite Nebraska, opposite Iowa, opposite Minnesota.
