Episode Seven: Going Deep with Joe Nocera and the Rebellion Against the NCAA

The Billion Dollar industry of College Football and Basketball often collide with the mission of higher education. Joe Nocera takes us on a journey through the history of the NCAA and describes the moment the NCAA went from “impotent to powerful.” Listen to why the Power Five “Conference Commissioners are the Five most powerful guys in sports.” He explains why baseball and hockey teams operate by a different set of rules than football and basketball when it comes to turning pro and making money. And he tells us why Walter Byers invented the term “student-athlete” and why Myles Brand invented the “Collegiate Model.” Fascinating listen.
