Episode Description
James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana discuss the new era that has emerged in college sports with players getting paid, particularly in sports like men’s basketball where marginal professionals are already now flooding in seeking to reestablish eligibility. The guys also consider what brought about the fall of amateurism and the old order in the revenue sports like football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball, and how this change affects the nature of the competition in college sports and participants on a personal level.
