It's time for another potentially excellent episode of the Greatest Pod in The South starring Neal McCready of RebelGrove.com and Jay G. Tate from AuburnSports.com. .

Topics covered:

• Jay struck gold (proverbially) during his 50th Birthday weekend in Louisville.

• What other kinds of good things happened during Jay's drunken trip?

• It looks like reporters will be welcomed, or perhaps encouraged, to cover games in person this fall. That forces a curious choice for folks like Jay and Neal, who have spent the past two or three years doing shows off campus.

• Will the SEC actually change its scheduling paradigm as it relates to football? With the upcoming addition of Oklahoma and Texas, something has to change. Still, Neal thinks even more teams will be part of the SEC before too long. That adds even more complexity to the task.

• Is Miami positioning itself to jump away from the ACC?

• Is Auburn's Jabari Smith the best NBA prospect in the 2022 Draft class?

• Ole Miss' approach toward recruiting high-school players is very interesting — and may put the Rebels uniquely ahead of the curve.

• Coaches make more money than ever now. That will affect how long they coach. Villanova coach Jay Wright is living proof.
