You can now report NIL violations — anonymously. Yep, college sports just got its own whistleblower hotline. The College Sports Commission rolled out a national tip line for shady deals, rogue boosters, and fake ‘marketing contracts.’ In this Fast Break, Lee is breaking down how the system works, why it’s happening now, and what athletes need to do to protect themselves. Because in the new NIL era, a clean deal isn’t just smart — it’s survival.

Michael breaks down the proposed SAFE Act — the federal NIL bill that could end 50 different rulebooks and finally bring order to college sports. But is this about protecting athletes or protecting TV money?

Boosters have fueled college athletics for decades — but NIL has changed the game. Lee breaks down how “helping your team” can now lead to violations, investigations, or worse. Where’s the line between passion and pay-for-play?

A five-star QB, a $13.85 million NIL promise, and a lawsuit that could rewrite college recruiting law. Lee breaks down the Rashada v. Florida case, the legal traps behind collectives, and what every athlete and agent should learn from it.

Fast Break time. NIL Go—the clearinghouse meant to keep deals clean—is jammed, and some collectives are jumping the line.

Options on the table: faster reviews, provisional approvals…or more rogue behavior. Protect your status, know the risks, and don’t let a shortcut cost you your season.

College sports just rewired the money. In this episode, Mike and Lee break down how school-to-athlete revenue sharing changes recruiting, roster math, and the market for individual NIL deals.

What you’ll learn:

• How revenue sharing works alongside NIL (and where it doesn’t)
• Which sports gain most—and why
• Roster + portal impacts: offers, renewals, and tough cuts
• A simple decision framework to protect leverage this cycle
