Mike Farrell on Week 4’s Biggest Games—and a $500 Recruiting Firestorm

Texas–Tennessee, Ole Miss–Florida and LSU–Texas A&M are on the board. So is a recruiting company’s controversial new offer to prospects. Join us on Show Pony Live!

Mike Farrell joins Show Pony Live to preview three Week 4 matchups: Texas vs. Tennessee, Ole Miss vs. Florida, and LSU vs. Texas A&M. We get into what each game could tell us about the SEC and which teams have the most to prove.

Then we turn to a story that has people in recruiting circles talking. A major recruiting company announced it would charge prospects outside its top rankings $500 to be scouted and receive a profile. The rollout drew immediate criticism. Mike and I discuss the offer, the backlash, and the uncomfortable question underneath it: Are families being offered a real opportunity, or being asked to pay for the hope of one?
