Rock Chalk Podcast: HEARINGS, Basketball Preview and Texas Tech Prep

It was a full week of the Rock Chalk Podcast, with Mike Vernon, Jesse Newell and Albie Shore all joining the show.

By Andy Mitts

I’m going to admit, I slacked off a bit in terms of getting the episodes posted here on RCT, but after recharging during the bye week, we have a full slate of show running the whole gamut of topics, from realignment tidbits to stadium hearings to basketball season previews to hearing another fanbase lament about their football team (and subsequently reminding us why there actually might be hope tomorrow).

Topics Include:

  • Kevin Warren at Big Ten Basketball Media Days
  • Conference Realignment and the Alliance
  • SEC Pods and the realignment timeline
  • Memorial Stadium Upgrade HEARINGS
  • Urgency of stadium upgrades
  • Further fundraising efforts
  • Olympic Sports update and how that affects realignment
  • The state of the football program
