For all of you who share that disillusionment and dissatisfaction, we've got some good news, some bad news, and some decidedly worse news.\nThe good news is that there's still time to prevent college football's out-of-control locomotive from irrevocably jumping the tracks.\nThe bad news? That time is rapidly dwindling, with no further hope on the horizon if it runs out before changes happen.\nBut worst of all, the entity who holds all our hopes, dreams, and aspirations for a return to sanity in the palms of their hands?\nThe United States Congress.\nSo, yeah... with the midnight hour close at hand, as darkness falls across the land, our crew takes a look at the Protect College Sports Act and, irrespective of its eventual fate, delves into whether the bill itself represents a cause worth championing for anyone who loathes the current trajectory of intercollegiate sports.\nHOSTED BY: Brandon Noble, Kevin Horne, Chris Buchignani\nThe Obligatory PSU Podcast will be brought to you once again this season by Gold Hen, a Penn State alumni-owned company, makers of the truly one-of-a-kind Gold Hen Bloody Mary Mix.
