Welcome to another episode of the AddDrop Podcast where we dive deep into the world of college athletics. Today, we are joined by Elle Campbell, the head women's flag football coach at the University of St. Mary, to discuss her transition from player to coach at her alma mater. Join us for an inspiring conversation about building a program from the ground up in one of the fastest-growing sports in the country. In this interview, Coach Campbell opens up about the challenges and triumphs of her first season, including the electric feeling of her first home victory. She explains her unique approach to recruiting, prioritizing attitude and effort over raw skill to find true Spire material. We also explore the massive growth of flag football on a national level as it prepares for the Olympic stage and how she has built a resilient culture with an impressive player retention rate. Beyond the field, Coach Campbell shares her leadership philosophy rooted in positivity and small details. We also get a glimpse into her life outside of coaching, from her dedicated Green Bay Packers fandom to the 24-hour taco spots she misses most from her hometown of Las Vegas. Whether you are a fan of flag football or interested in the mechanics of building a successful sports program, this episode offers valuable insights into the rising world of women's athletics.

The discussion moves into the political arena with a deep dive into the Protect College Sports Act. Tony provides a masterclass on the legislative process, explaining why conference commissioners like Greg Sankey have been slow-walking the bill and what the actual text says about athlete employee status and antitrust exemptions. ️

We also explore the new retention budgets, the Lane Kiffin rule regarding coaching changes, and why the proposed boycotts from the Congressional Black Caucus failed to gain traction among players looking to secure their families' financial futures.
