Wilson And Cramer – Pitt, Georgia Tech Previews

July 27, 2020

Wilson and Cramer from SB Nation are our special guests on ACCNation Podcast this week. That's Mike Wilson of Cardiac Hill discussing Pitt football and basketball and Jeff Cramer of From The Rumble Seat to talk about Georgia Tech football. We take a look at some of the bigger stories in sports as well before delving into our interviews.

One of those stories involves Clemson AD Dan Radakovich testifying (remotely) before a Senate sub-committee. It felt as if shots were fired across the bow (audio) during the hearing on Integrity of College Athletics chaired by South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.

Pitt AD Heather Lyke also testified in regard to the impact of gambling upon college sports.
