This parody account has turned into a fun mix of humor + real sports business insight.

New Agent Confidential episode dropped today on NIL and roster economics.

Would love your thoughts.

I’ve spent the last few weeks working on something a little different.

If you enjoy college football, good conversation, and a good pour, I think you’re going to like it.

Big news coming soon around a new event concept: Bourbon & College Football.

Details soon.

The Brendan Sorsby situation wasn’t the story.

The governance questions were.

Conferences. Congress. Courts. The NCAA.

Who actually gets a seat at the table when the biggest decisions in college sports are being made?

Who Gets A Seat At The Table?

The NCAA's biggest problem has nothing to do with the NCAA.

The economics of college sports are moving faster than the governance structure can keep up.

It's like asking an offensive tackle to cover a slot receiver in space.

That's why everything feels so chaotic right now.

Paul Finebaum:
"The NCAA can't control anything."

I think he's right.

The bigger story isn't that the NCAA lost control. They have.

The bigger story is that the economics of college sports have become bigger than the governance structure trying to manage them.

That's why the sport is changing so quickly.

Yesterday on WJOX, @TheLegend120139 Legend reminded everyone that he probably ought to be in Hollywood. He should!

Then he decided I needed a radio handle.

His suggestion?

Agent Confidential.

As Legend said, “there is a lot in the name.”

Not gonna lie, that was pretty cool.

Thanks to @Legend and @Kip on @WJOX945 for a great conversation about college sports, governance and where the game may be headed next.

Over the last few months, Agent Confidential has evolved from a book title into something much bigger.

A podcast.

Radio appearances.

Shorts.

Conversations with fans who simply want to understand what’s really happening in college sports.

So I updated the banner to reflect where this journey is headed.

Thank you for following along. More to come.

A few years ago, Faux Jimmy Sexton was just a parody account.

As @colecubelic pointed out earlier this week, that’s fair.

A few minutes later, Cube was reading one of my tweets about the business of college sports on the air.

Funny how things work.

My late son Michael Chaudron coached football at Paetow High School and Stockdick Junior High in Katy ISD. When Joey McGuire was hired, Michael told me he immediately had credibility with Texas high school coaches because he’d come up through those ranks.

In Texas, that’s a big deal.

Here we go! Breakdown No 1 of 138 (Not a ranking. Just alphabetical order), the Air Force Falcons.

Here is a thread to preview the Huskies' upcoming season.

Long thread 🧵 incoming.

Everyone remembers the Ferrari.

What Nick Saban was really talking about was incentives.

Years before revenue sharing, lawsuits, private equity, and congressional hearings, he saw where college sports was headed.

Nick Saban saw this coming.

One of the best explanations I’ve heard of the new college sports model.

X + Y = Z.

Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua explains why many leaders don’t view this as a true salary cap.

[T'N'T College Football Podcast @TNTCollegeFoot1]

Preview/Breakdown series is almost here 🥳

It all begins tomorrow, Monday, June 8th. I will preview all 138 FBS teams leading up to the season. All the breakdowns will be written here on Twitter/X, along with a written article on @_redshirtsports, and a short 10-15 minute podcast for each team as well.

It is a labor of love and I love to bring it to you. I will be going in alphabetical order this year. So first up, Air Force and Akron.

Who would have thought that Gee summing it up in 18 seconds was probably one of the most profound things said this week in DC?

[FauxJimmySexton (Parody Account) | Mike Chaudron @fauxjimmysexton]

Everybody is debating NIL.
Everybody is debating conference realignment.
Everybody is debating playoff expansion.

Gordon Gee may have identified the deeper issue.
College sports isn't having a money crisis.

It may be having an identity crisis.

New Agent Confidential episode:
Who is really shaping the future of college sports?

The June 3 hearing wasn't just about what Nick Saban, Ted Cruz, Gordon Gee, or the Notre Dame AD said.

It revealed a much bigger story:
Congress, conferences, university presidents, athletic directors, coaches, and media stakeholders are now all trying to shape the same governance framework.

Twelve months ago these conversations were happening in separate rooms.

Today they're happening in the same conversation.
🎥👇

[FauxJimmySexton (Parody Account) | Mike Chaudron @fauxjimmysexton]

I think a lot of people are missing the biggest thing that happened on Capitol Hill today.

It wasn't what Nick Saban said.
It wasn't what Ted Cruz said.

It was realizing that Congress, conferences, university leaders, and coaches are now trying to shape the same governance framework.

That's a signal college sports is entering a new phase.

If you enjoy this type of analysis, I'd appreciate you subscribing to the Agent Confidential YouTube channel as I continue building it.

Big thanks to @ChildersRadio for a great start to Show Pony University tonight! Stay tuned!

What’s remarkable here is how many different power centers are now colliding around college athletics at the same time:

Congress.
Conferences.
University leadership.
Media companies.
Legal pressure.
Coaches.
Players.
Institutional capital.

Ten years ago, most of these conversations happened separately.

Now they’re all happening at the same table.

[FauxJimmySexton (Parody Account) | Mike Chaudron @fauxjimmysexton]

For years, the biggest forces in college athletics were discussed separately.

NIL.
Conference realignment.
Media rights.
Coaching salaries.
Transfer portal chaos.
Private equity.
Federal legislation.
Governance failures.

Now they’re all colliding at the same time.

Thread. 🧵
