Happy Tuesday! Let's have some fun on "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral".

The college football season is just 32 days away from kicking off and one of this year's contenders appears to be in hot water.

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is facing a four-game suspension for lying to the NCAA over recruiting violations.

How does Harbaugh get off so lightly when he's accused of the same crimes that landed current Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl on a three-year show cause penalty?

How can fans of college athletics trust the NCAA enforce violations of name, image and likeness rules when the organization is wildly inconsistent in enforcing the rules that are already in place?

The program turned its attention to the NFL Top 100 list that already features three former Alabama players.

Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide will use this list in recruiting to show that while Georgia has won the national title in consecutive seasons, Alabama is still the place for top level recruits to be developed and cash big paychecks in the NFL.

Alabama basketball named its opponent for this year's C.M. Newton Classic, setting the stage for a showcase in Birmingham. Will the Crimson Tide be able to win the showcase for the first time this coming year?

Finally, we finish with Saquon Barkley. The New York Giants running back signed a contract on Tuesday morning just days after all the league's tailbacks met about the landscape of the current market.

How will Barkley's contract affect Josh Jacobs, who's now the only tailback in the league who's holding out, after leading the NFL in rushing yards in 2022.
