  • Ep. 9 - How to Spectacularly Lose in Litigation: A Story About the NCAA and NIL (Part 2)
    2025/05/31

    Join Eric, Jesse, and Justin in this second of a two-part episode as they continue to discuss how the landscape of college athletics as we know it today is shaped by the NCAA's decision to keep defending its position in courts, despite losing again, and again, and again, and again, and again. This episode covers most of the legal history and outcomes, but also dives into how Eric got his golf clubs, Jesse's theories for forum shopping, and where we think college athletics are headed next.

    **Disclaimer - As noted in the intro, Jesse and Justin's microphones were not properly connected, so their audio is faint (well Justin's is, Jesse you can still hear alright, not surprisingly). You can still hear everyone, but consider listening on high volume in a quiet place. Sorry about that, my bad. - Eric**
