Sun Belt quarterbacks like Colton Joseph (headed to Wisconsin), Alonza Barnett III (UCF), AJ Swann (Mississippi State), J.C. French (Cincinnati), and Jaylen Raynor (Iowa State) seek not just bigger stages but the best NIL deals—will their new homes provide the right fit or spark career leaps?

Dave Schultz breaks down each QB's path, raising questions about starting opportunities, roster competition, and what "success" truly means in the transfer portal era.

Discussion shifts to the portal’s chaos—are players or programs benefiting most, and should G5 schools be compensated for developing stars who move up? Insights on NIL contract uncertainty, the impact of coaching changes, and the future of college athletics highlight the episode.

Plus, key updates preview Sun Belt basketball clashes like Troy vs. Arkansas State and JMU vs. Marshall.

Can these transfers and teams hit their stride, or will new obstacles derail their ambitions?
