The Roost Podcast | Ep 153 – Fixing College Football with Shehan Jeyarajah

By

In the midst of a crazy college football news cycle, we put Shehan Jeyarajah from CBS in charge of the sport and he had some pretty good ideas.

Who’s in charge anyway? After watching realignment overtake the sport once again we thought it was time to bring in someone to help us fix this increasingly unpredictable sport. To do that, we named Shehan Jeyarajah the czar of college football and asked him to clean up tv contracts, schedules, coaching hires, the transfer portal and more.
