Three years ago I got laid off from ESPN. Now I'm running a YouTube channel: profitable, 175K views a video, closing in on 60K subs. Goal: 100K by end of summer. If you believe sports journalism can be more — with no gambling ads — I'd love to take this journey together. ⬇️

Should sports be a college major? Superb question posed, and thanks to the Sports Collective gathering yesterday at Nike NYC HQ, we have a great, growing foundation of really good answers and blueprints for “yes,” “here’s why” and “here’s how.” And yes, I had to represent on NBA Draft Day 😉🏀

I think this might be my biggest pet peeve in college sports. The tendency for administrators and coaches to call college athletes "kids" rather than young men and women.

As always, I am so grateful for @mattbrown.bsky.social giving me the opportunity to write about this problem and talk about how the Original Position applies to college sports!

New from me: More than 100 women's basketball players have been quietly forming a players advocacy group. Last month, they went public. I caught up with Oklahoma's Raegan Beers, the group's SEC President, about what's next as the House settlement looms: www.sbnation.com/womens-ncaa-...

With the House settlement looming, Oklahoma’s Raegan Beers explains why she helped form an advocacy group for women’s basketball players, and why they want to meet with Greg Sankey and Tony Petitti.

in 2016, Charlie Baker and the NCAA took pro-trans stances. In 2025, they instantly gave in to transphobia to stay on the good side of Trump and Congress. In doing so, they've helped give cover to all the other anti-trans garbage these bigots will try to pull. open.substack.com/pub/rodgersh...

The spineless cowardice of the NCAA's anti-trans swerve
A decade ago, the NCAA stood up on trans issues. Now that trans people are under attack, they've given in to bigots.

Money isn't real
The financial foundation of college sports may be changing, but that doesn't mean spending is slowing down

Donor fatigue is real, but the worry that NIL would lead to declining donations to FBS athletic departments has largely not come to pass. My SBJ analysis of data from 2019-23 found 74.5% of public FBS schools had their best fundraising years under NIL. www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/202...

In the NIL landscape, exhausted donors keep on giving
With NIL funding approaching a billion dollars, data shows donations directly to public colleges also have leaped by 40%.

Gonna echo something here that I’ve said for years now: I hope someday there’s real movement by black athletes, coaches and parents to boycott these schools. If they don’t want black people on campus, don’t go. Imagine trying to find work at these places when they no longer covet the athleticism.

I really think schools should offer legitimate majors for athletes in “football” or “basketball” and so on. It’s easy to imagine academic courses in sports (history, strategy/theory, analytics, etc) and colleges certainly offer less practical majors (which are also good!)

I wrote the latest cover story for The Atlantic. It's about the far-ranging implications of one simple statistic: Americans have never spent so much time alone, and surging solitude is warping our society. I'm really proud of it, and I hope you read it. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Good read by @daniellibit.bsky.social. This was always the correct answer when college athletic departments stressed they can’t pay players. Don’t pay coaches so much. Coach and player compensations are directly linked. www.sportico.com/leagues/foot...
