American Media Week: Charlotte and Tulsa

We are halfway through In The Circle American Media Week. Today, we discuss two programs looking to contend for the league crown in 2026.

First, we preview the Charlotte 49ers. You’ll hear from head coach Courtney Breault about what she learned in her first year at the helm. We’re also joined by 2025 American Player of the Year Jenna Lord, who discusses her journey to Charlotte and her appreciation for the sport.

Next, we travel to Tulsa, where the Golden Hurricane are prepared to make another tournament run. Tulsa head coach Crissy Strimple discusses her team’s outlook in 2026 and getting three key returners back thanks to a Heisman Trophy finalist. One of those returners is Maci Cole, who joins us to share her thoughts on earning that extra year of eligibility.
