Episode Synopsis

Has something gone awfully wrong with the USD football program?  That could be a knee-jerk conclusion after the Coyotes lost five All-Conference players since the spring transfer portal window opened last Wednesday. How much does it have to do with new head coach Travis Johansen, or offensive coordinator Josh Davis leaving for Fresno State? Nobody really knows but John Gaskins has information from trusted sources to conclude it has nothing to do with coaching and everything to do with money. Meanwhile, are the Minnesota Timberwolves now the favorite to win their playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers after Saturday's throwdown? Vegas says no. John says yes. It's NFL Draft week, but the Minnesota Vikings are flying below that event's radar, mostly due to over $300 million of offseason acquisitions in free agency. Then, there's the whopper deal they didn't make. Well, not yet. The one with Aaron Rodgers.  Players reported for their offseason program on Monday, meaning head coach Kevin O'Connell and select players held press conferences with media. What did KOC and running back Aaron Jones say that could be translated to a crack still be left in the door for Rodgers in the next few months? Then, a deeper dive into the FCS portal pillaging with HERO Sports national FCS senior analyst Sam Herder. How the recent House settlement that creates a "clearinghouse" led to even more of a "gold rush" for football players? How much will the settlement reign things in to keep FCS players at their school?  Which of the three Dakotas title contenders — NDSU, SDSU and USD — has the most stocked NIL collective right now? Why is this "one-and-done" situation for All-Conference players not as dire as it seems? And who are the early top two contenders for the 2025 national title? Herder has answers.
