NCAA Football podcast with Michelle: ACC officials fail to put one second on clock in UNC loss; Will bill pass to pay college athletes?; Wazzu win their third straight 31-24

Wake Forest won 24-18.

#1 The ACC said replay should have put one second on the clock for failing to review a play ACC league supervisor Dennis Hennigan said that UNC running back Michael Carter’s forward progress had been stopped by the Wake Forrest defense on Friday night a review would have spotted the ball on the Wake Forrest 43-yard line with a second left. The game was over and Wake Forrest defeated UNC 24-18.

#2 A California bill in 2023 (if passed) would have college athletes in California getting paid for endorsements, having their images used getting paid in practices and for appearances. The bill, which passed the senate, now sits on California Govenor Gavin Newsom’s desk for his signature. Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow on ESPN says he doesn’t like the proposal saying it won’t be about the university, the team, or the spirit of the team and it’ll just be about the individual player and college players negotiating for pay.

#3 Michelle, your alumnus, the Washington State Cougars, improved with a win over Houston Friday night 31-24 to go 3-0. Cougars quarterback Andrew Gordon threw for 440 yards and three touchdowns. The Cougars had to come back from behind to win, Wazzu head coach Mike Leach went up against Houston head coach Dana Holgorsen. 30 years ago, Holgorsen played for Iowa Welsyan and Leach was an assistant coach.
