  • Dead air?

    I would have given a 3.5 star rating if possible, cause i almost always enjoy the content, but i very often get hit with random “dead air” lasting anywhere between 1-10 minutes at a time during any given podcast episode I have listened to from this show. Why??

Q: Is NIL really changing the landscape for mid-major and top programs alike?

The Numbers Can’t Be Sexist, Dawn Staley Complains Despite Spending $6 Million
Q: So what's the fundamental reason some programs spend so much on women's basketball, and is it sustainable?
The panel argues it's driven by potential long-term gains in brand value, sponsorships, and fan engagement, but they acknowledge deficits in many programs and emphasize weighing the benefits against the financial risk, especially when football and men's basketball bring in the bulk of revenue.
