The Portal - Daily College Recruiting and NIL Podcast

Brian Smith

Booking Overview

A daily solo-expert college football show focused on recruiting, the transfer portal, NIL, rankings, and program analysis, with occasional appearances from team-focused analysts and recruiting commentators. PR agencies could credibly pitch college football analysts, recruiting experts, coaches, NIL and college-sports policy specialists, and program insiders; booking difficulty is low to medium because recent external contributors appear to be accessible sports professionals rather than major national celebrities.
