Nothing is calm, or feels normal, around college football. Coaching changes are wild, player movement is rampant, conference realignment is ongoing, and often it seems the sport’s future is being decided in a courtroom as much as on a field. Ralph Russo has been the Associated Press’ national college football writer for 20 years. He drops by the latest episode of Mind Games to lend his insight on the chaos, and discuss the ripple effects at OU and OSU.
