The Penn State Football team begins its 2025 season in earnest this month when the team convenes at the end of July for the start of training camp. Now that it’s July, we’re starting our season preview on the BWI Live Show. Today, we’ll discuss reporter Nate Bauer’s interviews with several important figures on the Penn State staff and roster. We’ll hear what they have to say about the team’s goals this year and how they achieve them. We’ll also preview the schedule to kick off our month of preparation for the upcoming season.

Join BWI Live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to be part of the conversation. Ask our staff any questions you have during the live chat, and we’ll answer them during the show! If you can’t catch us live, watch the replay on the channel, embedded in this article or wherever you get your podcasts.

New new era of college football is here

Not only is July the start of training camp for many college and NFL teams, but it’s also the start of a new era in college football. With the NCAA’s House Settlement rules going into effect today, teams can officially start paying players directly from internal revenue.

Yet, does this day and this landmark change anything for Penn State or college football at large? We’ll discuss that idea with Bauer on today’s show.

We’ll also preview Big Ten Media Days, which happen this month.

Penn State sits down with Blue White Illustrated

Bauer recently did one-on-one interviews with both of Penn State’s coordinators – Andy Kotelnicki and Jim Knowles – plus quarterback Drew Allar. You can read Bauer’s work at Blue White Illustrated, but we’ll discuss those conversations on today’s show. We’ll be focusing on specific aspects of these conversations to discuss in detail, which will hopefully help us gain a better understanding of the team’s mindset for this fall. It’s the last ride for the Penn State Football Recruiting Class of 2022, which includes team stars like Drew Allar, Nick Singleton, Kaytron Allen, Dani Dennis-Sutton, and Zane Durant. What did they come back for, and what are their goals?

Of course, we’ll discuss Allar and his goals for this upcoming season and how that relates to the passing game.

Season preview month begins

Finally, we’ll end the show by starting our season preview of 2025. What are we most curious about learning as we begin our own preparations for the season? What’s the biggest wildcard on Penn State’s schedule?

We’ll discuss those topics, what the toughest stretch of games looks like, and anything else that comes to mind! Didn’t see a topic you want us to cover? Join the show and bring it up in the comments section!
