Summer Conference is in the rearview mirror, but many of the conversations shaping Maryland policy are just getting started.In the latest round of News or Noise, Kevin Kinnally and Michael Sanderson are joined by Sarah Sample for a look at the headlines, policy debates, and emerging issues that could follow county leaders from #MACoCon into the 2027 legislative session.The conversation starts with a look back at MACo's Summer Conference before turning to the Blueprint for Maryland's Future and whether an upcoming evaluation could lead lawmakers to reconsider pieces of the sweeping education reform plan amid mounting fiscal pressure. The group also digs into Maryland's growing school construction needs, the funding gap facing counties, and the increasingly difficult prospect of local governments forward-funding major projects while waiting for the State to catch up.Then, the conversation turns to technology and privacy, where Sarah breaks down Maryland's existing approach to automatic license plate readers as AI-powered surveillance tools draw growing scrutiny. Are Maryland's existing safeguards enough, or will rapidly evolving technology force policymakers to revisit the rules? Finally, in true News or Noise fashion, the episode closes outside the policy arena with college football, NIL, revenue sharing, and a bigger question: are college sports still amateur sports at all?From education funding and government surveillance to the changing economics of college athletics, the team sorts through what's news, what's noise, and what Maryland's counties should keep watching. Follow us on Socials!MACo on TwitterMACo on Facebook

The game of football means a great deal to the High Country and its economy. For decades, championship success on the field has fueled business growth and activity throughout the surrounding High Country region. How the business of college athletics moves forward has a direct impact on the economic performance of a key time of year for our community.On this week's Mind Your Business, we bring you our annual conversation with App State Director of Athletics Doug Gillin. Heading into his 12th season in the AD's chair, we'll talk about the current trends in the business of college football and athletics in general, and how the evolving landscape of college sports will impact gamedays. We'll also discuss how App State athletics is brining entertainment other than sports to the High Country and -- perhaps refreshingly --  we'll hear about possible connection points for student-athletes in the community as they look to make a positive impact on the area during their time in Boone.Mind Your Business is written and produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce.

College athletics shifted from cash-filled duffel bags to multi-million dollar deals almost overnight, but the infrastructure to support these young athletes never caught up. When dynamic, highly paid recruits sign contract deals without basic financial guidance, the resulting confusion damages both the program and the player. Host Josh Saffron sits down with Chad Campbell, founder of Pinnacle Sports Ventures, to break down what actually happens behind closed doors in collegiate name, image, and likeness negotiations.We break down how the current system leaves student-athletes vulnerable to predatory contracts and poor financial decisions. Chad Campbell walks through the mechanics of managing two-sport athletes, setting up LLCs for teenagers, navigating transfer portal deadlines, and correcting the leadership failures within local collectives. He reveals how a lack of basic tax knowledge and vehicle registration guidance exposes the lack of institutional preparation for high-earning college kids.The messy part of athlete wealth management comes down to basic execution over flash. Teenagers receive five-figure checks without knowing how to account for taxes or shield their income, while traditional football operations struggle to negotiate business deals cleanly. Viewers gain a clear look at the business structures required to turn temporary athletic hype into lasting financial equity.If you care about sports business, NIL deals, and financial management for young athletes, you will get a lot from this episode. Subscribe and share to keep up with every conversation. What is the single biggest financial mistake you see young athletes make when they first get paid?
