You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
College football's tiered landscape for two thousand twenty-six is taking shape, and ESPN has laid out all one hundred thirty-eight FBS programs across twenty competitive tiers heading into the new season. The pecking order is set — at least until the first kickoff scrambles everything we think we know.
Meanwhile, the talent pipeline flowing from college to the NFL is running strong, and scouts already have their eyes locked on a dozen programs loaded with potential early-round prospects. Miami and Texas headline the list, with rosters deep enough to reshape multiple franchises come draft weekend. The combine circuit is going to be very, very busy.
And off the field, Tony Romo is navigating serious turbulence. CBS has placed the former quarterback and longtime analyst on indefinite leave following his operating while intoxicated arrest, and now his primary sponsor Skechers has gone completely silent. No statement, no public support — just quiet. That silence speaks volumes, and the road back to the broadcast booth just got significantly longer.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
