The Crumbling E15 - Labor V2 The NCAA - P1 - Ball is Life and God is Money
Finally, Davin gets to tell a story! He fills the other co-hosts in on the
story of the exploitation of NCAA athletes, prior to the push for
some of them unionizing. He describes the conditions that led up to
that movement, showing how the league continuously profited off
of them, while denying them any chance at making money from
their work.
Also, two announcements:
Tragically, Andrew has left the podcast, and so Davin and Sophia
must search for a new third. In this episode, they try out a new co
host, V., in this episode.
AND the Patreon now has new tiers, which feature some actual
merch! Stickers and shirts! Please subscribe and rate the show if
you like where it's going!
