This week we speak to Ben Carrington about USC’s new head coach Lincoln Riley and the bloated contract the university offered him. Carrington goes into detail about the big issues in college athletics including the transfer portal and the very structure of college sports.

We also have "Choice Words" about a hedge fund investor who owns a sizable portion of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors and the comments he made about what’s happening to the Uighurs. Plus, the “Just Stand Up” and “Just Sit Down" awards, and another special playoff edition of Jake’s Takes as well. All this and more on this week’s show!
