We’re joined by one of the most knowledgeable and battle‑tested voices in the NIL era — Eddie Edwards.

Eddie’s career spans years as a corporate attorney, licensed NFLPA and NBPA contract advisor, and trusted representative for athletes competing at the highest levels. But his impact on today’s college sports landscape is even bigger. Eddie has worked hands‑on with NIL collectives across the country, advising on strategy, compliance, athlete support, and the rapidly shifting legal and financial realities reshaping college athletics.

With lawsuits, revenue‑sharing debates, collective restructuring, and pay‑for‑play confusion dominating the headlines, Eddie brings the kind of real‑world, on‑the‑ground perspective that cuts through the noise.

If you want to understand what’s actually happening in NIL — and where it’s most likely heading next — this is the episode you don’t want to miss.

New episode drops Friday. Pour a glass of your favorite bourbon and join us. 🥃🔥
