Even though Ryan and Dave are the foremost authorities on all things B1G, they are bringing special guest Bill Bender from the Sporting News to spread more Legends and Leaders knowledge as we head into Big Ten media days next week. Bill will discuss some of the major storylines from the off-season including rule changes, the coaching carousel, roster turnover, high profile matchups on the schedule and the overall integration of the Pac-4 into the Big Ten culture.

  • UCLA required to pay $10 million a year in Calimony to the Golden Bears

    UCLA required to pay $10 million a year in Calimony to the Golden Bears
    May 16 2024
    In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio talking about the latest development in the conference realignment craziness, with UCLA forced to pay rival Cal $10 million a year for three years in "Calimony," taking a chunk out of the Bruins Big Ten media rights windfall. On Tuesday the UC Board of Regents adopted the Calimony proposal to help the Golden Bears' athletic department after the Bruins left the Pac-12 for greener pastures. UC system president Michael Drake originally recommended the $10 million per year amount last week and intended to extend those payments through 2030. Following the vote they (thankfully for UCLA) scaled back the payments to just three years with the possibility to revisit the decision at that time. The guys also have made a decision about the future of the podcast with the Conference of Champions holding on through its final weeks of existence.

  • Talking USC and UCLA spring football with hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods

    Talking USC and UCLA spring football with hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods
    May 7 2024
    In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio finishing up their deep-dive into all of the former Pac-12 football programs, talking about how the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins finished up their respective spring football sessions. On the USC side, head coach Lincoln Riley had to figure out a way to replace Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams and fix a defense that was one of the worst in the Power Five the past two seasons. Ryan talks about how Miller Moss looked and if the defensive staff changes, including former UCLA defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn, will be enough to make that defense respectable again. For UCLA new head coach DeShaun Foster got his first chance to coach up his guys in Westwood, bringing some excitement to a fanbase that was starved for attention by the former regime. Dave talks about what this new-look Bruin team accomplished this spring and how active Foster was in the transfer portal.

    Talking Washington and the B1G move with Chris Fetters from Dawgman.com
    Apr 23 2024
    In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio and joined remotely by the Washington Huskies football expert Chris Fetters from Dawgman.com, talking about UW's spring football with Jedd Fisch at the helm, the move to the Big Ten, the battle to replace Michael Penix and how the Huskies are navigating the open transfer portal window. Coming off a run to the national championship game, Washington is in rebuilding mode after losing its head coach, athletic director and a Heisman Trophy finalist quarterback. Fetters talks about how that transition from Kalen DeBoer to Fisch has been and why there is optimism in Seattle that UW can have a strong first season in the B1G. The guys also discuss the new NCAA ruling that allows programs to help broker NIL deals for players (though schools are still not directly paying players) and officially declares the new two member Pac-12 in this two-year grace period as no longer an autonomous five conference. Plus there are five more Pac-12 spring games this weekend with Colorado, Arizona St., Oregon, UCLA, Washington St. and Arizona concluding spring their spring practices on the Pac-12 Network.
