What does it mean for college sports when an athlete can go pro and then come back? On this episode, we're having a crucial debate about the eligibility of a G League player to return to the NCAA. We discuss the potential ripple effects and whether this decision changes everything for student-athletes. We also cover the hot topic of sponsor patches on college football jerseys.

In this episode, we sit down with Jeff Hiser, owner of Polaris Athlete, to talk about NIL from a different perspective. How it helps athletes prepare for life after sports and their future careers. The money is great, but there’s much more to NIL than flashy deals.

We discuss how NIL can be a tool for learning real-world skills like responsibility, financial literacy, and personal branding. Jeff shares how Polaris combines academic advising, recruiting guidance, and NIL education to give student-athletes a foundation that lasts well beyond their playing days.

This conversation shows how NIL, when approached the right way, can set athletes up not just for short-term opportunities, but for long-term success in school, business, and life.

This week, we’re switching things up. Instead of diving into the legal side of sports, we’re keeping it light and fun. Just pure football talk.

John and I break down the upcoming NFL season, share our opinions on what to expect, and go division by division to predict who comes out on top. Of course, we couldn’t resist making our Super Bowl picks too.

No case law, no contracts, just sports, hot takes, and a little friendly debate.

If you’re ready for football season, you’ll want to hear this one.
