What's in it for me? The discussion is becoming much more mainstream in regards to student athletes thanks to several lawsuits and events that have happened in the past few years.

This episode discusses whether student athletes should be paid, is there a way for them to be compensated for their NIL rights and why you're not getting any sympathy from me.
