#56 - Are NILs Making March Madness Crazy?
In this episode, the hosts dive headfirst into the madness of March—covering NIL deals, the transfer portal, and the wild world of college sports. With the NCAA’s recent changes, college athletes are now making millions, and loyalty is taking a backseat. But is this system fair?
The trio breaks down how NIL deals are shaping the future of sports, why female athletes face a different playing field, and how schools are adapting to these major shifts. Plus, they discuss March Madness selections, controversial rankings, and the impact of big names like Caitlin Clark and Bronny James.
They also highlight our Got Grit Award winner, UNC coach Hubert Davis, for setting an example in leadership and sportsmanship. And don’t miss the song of the week—Need to Breathe featuring Carrie Underwood.
Listen in for raw, unscripted conversation, plenty of laughs, and some serious sports talk. Let’s get gritty!
