Episode 167: UTSA puts their money where their mouth is

Another week, another massive step forward for the #16 UTSA Roadrunners. Jeff Traylor is now the highest-paid coach in the Group of 5, and there's no questioning UTSA's commitment to winning big and winning often. The Roadrunners must now convert this huge momentum into a win over a surprisingly-strong UTEP Miners team in a primetime battle for the C-USA West title on ESPN2. Women's soccer also secures their biggest win in program history, and the basketball teams prepare to tip off their seasons.

Edit: In the podcast we mentioned that Traylor's buyout doesn't kick in until January 1st. Thanks to @MaxScouts for pointing out that the wording in the contract shows that the buyout increase kicks in immediately. Sorry TCU!
