Sports
In the opening take, Grant gives his initial thoughts on the recent Supreme Court ruling that found in favor of student/athletes against the NCAA. Then after Lee joins the show, Grant wants to clarify some of his comments from our last episode. He also has a philosophical question for Lee about why we have a podcast about OU football (5:45)? Sliding into the recent SCOTUS decision. Lee tries to explain what this is all about and what it means (14:00). Grant is afraid this SCOTUS decision could harm college sports, but Lee isn't all that concerned (17:45). The NCAA recently voted to suspend "amateurism rules" because in multiple states Name/Image/Likeness legislation is about to go into effect. How does this NIL stuff factor into the recent SCOTUS ruling (26:55)? Grant says the NCAA's business model is going down and he's worried that non-revenue sports are doomed. Lee doesn't believe non-revenue sports are in danger (32:30). When it comes to NIL going into effect, Lee is curious to see how players making money impacts the locker room (38:05)? A listener wants to talk about LSU transfer running back Tre Bradford (40:30). We haven't had a chance to talk about the details of the proposed 12-team Playoff. Sure, we like expansion but of course there are issues with the proposed model. At the end we have to criticize Bob Bowlsby for a couple of recent quotes that fired us up (46:30). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
