Open For Business: College Football w/ John Kurtz

by John Kurtz

College sports for fans who like to dig a little deeper.Welcome to Open For Business, a show covering college sports from every angle, on and off the field.I spent more than a decade traveling the country as a radio and TV broadcaster covering college football and basketball full time. Now I break down the games, the playoff race, coaching decisions and program-building that define Saturdays, along with the transfer portal, NIL, realignment, media money and the bigger forces reshaping college sports behind the scenes.The goal is to understand the entire landscape, not just the biggest brands and loudest storylines. If something matters to where the sport is going, it matters here.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss a show.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really enjoy this podcast. It provides great coverage of the Big 12 Conference and often touches on other conferences as well. John does an excellent job offering insights and weekly recaps in both football and basketball. His expertise runs deep from his background with the Big 12, and it shows—he’s knowledgeable, balanced, and has a great on-air demeanor. The presentation is professional, informative, and always up to date on the latest across the Big 12. Thanks from ScottKSUinFL.
