Inside the portal move
nobody saw coming.

The cleanest sourcing this season, one decision that reshapes the SEC West, and the numbers that say it was inevitable.

Full breakdown of the week's biggest story with context you won't find on the timeline. Plus the updated Heisman board, three portal names to watch, and one bold take that'll be in your group chat by Tuesday.

01The portal move that broke a conference
02Updated Heisman board (and a dark horse)
03Three names coaches are whispering about
04One bold take. Screenshot it.

What readers are saying

The Saturday email
fans actually wait for.

Sundays I read the box scores. Saturdays I read this. It's the only thing that hits my inbox at 7am that I actually open.

Marcus T.

Alabama dad, 4 kids in Tuscaloosa

Three friends asked who told me about the Texas QB situation 48 hours before ESPN ran it. This newsletter told me.

Jordan K.

Transfer portal sicko

I run NIL deals for a living and I still learn from this. The deal breakdowns alone are worth the inbox slot.

Sasha M.

NIL agency operator

I quit five sports newsletters and kept this one. Says everything.

Mike R.

Recovering ESPN subscriber

Forward it to my group chat every Saturday before they can ask what's going on. Made me look smart approximately 14 weeks running.

Devon P.

Georgia diehard since '02

I'm not even American but I read this religiously. It's just well-written.

James O.

London, Bama fan

The take on the SEC scheduling expansion was the only one I read that wasn't a hot-take refried for clicks. Real reporting.

Ashley W.

Sports media producer

Subscribed because my brother sent it. Now I send it to him every week before he opens his own.

Tasha L.

Ole Miss alum, Texas transplant

I run a Twitter account with 100K followers covering CFB. I still find quotes I haven't seen anywhere else in this letter.
