  • Episode 59: The NCAA's Latest Loss in Court and What it Means for the Future of College Sports, with Altius' Casey Schwab
    Feb 27 2024

    On February 23, 2024, Judge Clifton Corker of the Eastern District of Tennessee issued a preliminary injunction that prevents the NCAA from enforcing its prohibition on the use of NIL as a recruiting inducement by collectives and third parties. It's another loss in court for the NCAA, but what does it mean for the future of college sports? To help break it all down, I'm joined by Casey Schwab, CEO and Founding Partner of Altius Sports Partners.

    Prior to founding Altius Sports Partners, Casey was the vice president of business & legal affairs at the NFL Players Association, helping lead the NIL program for all NFL players. He began his career in sports media at NFL Media and FOX Sports and has taught at both USC and Howard law schools.

  • Episode 58: Are College Athlete Unions and Collective Bargaining the Future of College Sports?
    Feb 16 2024

    On February 5th, 2024, the Regional Director for the National Labor Relations Board in Boston ruled that the Dartmouth men's basketball players are employees and have a right to unionize and collectively bargain over their compensation and other terms and conditions of employment. This could not only lead to the creation of the first union in the history of college sports, but could also lead to widespread unionization for college athletes across all sports, levels, and divisions. What are the next steps? What does this mean for the future of college athletics? To help break it all down, I'm joined by Mark Pearce, the former Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board.

  • Episode 55: Mike McCann and Andrew Brandt discuss the "Day it All Changed" for college sports.
    Dec 5 2023

    On December 5th, 2023, NCAA President Charlie Baker proposed major changes to the college sports model. Under proposal, all DI schools would be allowed to do NIL deals directly with their athletes and could offer athletes "any level of enhanced educational benefits they deem appropriate."

    The proposal would also create a new subdivision of DI schools that could create a "trust fund" for each athlete of at least $30,000 per year and would allow the schools to create more permissive rules for recruiting, NIL, transfers, roster size, and pay-for-play.

    What does it all mean and where do we go from here? Michael McCann and Andrew Brandt join the pod to discuss.
