Chaos in college sports? Who'd a thunk it? Wasn't the NCAA v. House settlement supposed to fix all this? But with lawsuits, commissions, and boosters still splashing cash it seems like things are still a big unpredictable mess. In April, we recorded a bonus show for Patreon subscribers with Matt Brown of Extra Points, one of the country's best sports business reporters who has been all over this story. We wanted to release that interview on the free feed because a lot of what we talked about is as relevant as ever, especially about tough decisions coming on Olympic sports.
