It may be summer, but there's still plenty to talk about when it comes to Purdue sports. This week, Purdue Boilermakers on SI writer and publisher Dustin Schutte discusses several different topics on the latest episode of the Boiler Banter Podcast.

On the basketball front, guard Omer Mayer remains in Europe, playing with Israel for the FIBA U20 EuroBasket. Five-star forward Cameron Williams has rescheduled his official visit to Purdue, Boilermaker great Carsen Edwards is on the move, and the date for the Alumni Game has been set.

As for football, Schutte poses the question about Purdue's scheduling model. Should Purdue continue scheduling tough nonconference opponents? Or should the Boilers follow Indiana's model, and try to secure wins against three lower-level opponents each year?
