31 mins

Episode Description

A local pizza-shop photo op with a coach's kid just rewrote the rules of college sports sponsorship.

Cullen Honohan of All Hail BBall joins Tyler to break down how he became the first content creator with his own logo on a Division I jersey — without paying a single dollar upfront. From the wild backstory to the six-figure value he says social reach can deliver instead of cash, this is a first-hand look at a deal that could change how creators and college programs do business.
