Teel Time: Episode 36

On Episode 36 of the Teel Time podcast, David Teel, Jonathan Heeter and Norm Wood are all in the same room together (for the first time on the podcast). Teel talks about the Commission of College Basketball — led by Condoleezza Rice — and its recommendations to the NCAA just a few hours after the commission released its report on the issues facing the sport. Will any of the recommendations help, and how fast can they be implemented? The gang also chat about the NFL Draft and discuss where the Virginia Tech and Virginia prospects may end up. They talk quarterbacks with a five — Sam Darnold (USC), Josh Rosen (UCLA), Josh Allen (Wyoming), Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) and Lamar Jackson (Louisville) — potentially selected in the top half of the first round. Oh, and the guys sneak in a little NBA playoff chatter. Music: Slow Burn by Kevin MacLeod.
