Welcome to "Ahead in the Count," presented by BIP Wealth. Our Baseball Division combines their collegiate and professional baseball playing experience with financial acumen to provide expertise in life on and off the field. We aim to give ballplayers and their families a better understanding about their unique lifestyle, the opportunities that come from playing this game, and insight into the complex financial world. This is "Ahead in the Count," hosted by Nolan Alexander, from BIP Wealth. What's Covered in This Episode How NIL and revenue share have changed the "find your number" conversation for high school and college players heading into the MLB Draft Why today's draft-eligible players have more leverage than ever The case for turning pro early: faster developmental clocks, the wood-bat transition, and the jump from a college rotation to a five-man pro rotation The exceptions: elite, "uber-talented" prospects who reach the majors within a year or two of being drafted The case for choosing college baseball: education, scholarships at prestigious schools, the College World Series experience, team camaraderie, and life after baseball How NIL has raised the overall talent level and competitiveness of college baseball, including players using the transfer portal with Power Conference (ACC/SEC) rosters Why some top college players are now earning hundreds of thousands of dollars — even approaching $1 million — in NIL money, and how that complicates the pro-vs-college decision Chase Murray's and John Hester's own paths through Georgia Tech and Stanford, and how their college experiences shaped their post-playing careers Key Topics & Themes NIL, Revenue Sharing & Player Leverage Chase Murray and John Hester explain how the draft conversation has shifted from "you get what you get" to a market where high school and college players can weigh NIL income, revenue-share commitments, and draft bonus money against each other — often with a program-backed financial floor for their first year or multiple years on campus. The Pro Ball Case: Start the Developmental Clock John Hester breaks down why front offices and player development staff often push for players to turn pro immediately: more reps, a faster transition to wood bats, and exposure to a full five-man pitching rotation rather than a once-a-week college workload. He notes the exceptions — elite prospects who are major-league-ready within a year or two — but stresses that for most players, professional development reps are hard to replicate in college. The College Case: More Than Just a Paycheck Both guests push back on the "turn pro at all costs" mindset, pointing to the value of a college degree, the buffer years between high school and adulthood, team camaraderie unique to the college game, and unforgettable moments like John Hester's freshman-year run to the College World Series at Stanford. This conversation continues in Episode 2, where Chase Murray and John Hester go deeper into how to actually calculate "your number" ahead of the 2026 MLB Draft.

Has the Big Ten officially passed the SEC?

College basketball's NIL era has quickly become one of the most disruptive forces in the global basketball market.In this Slappin' Glass Deep Dive, Eric Fawcett sits down with Kevin Sweeney, college basketball and NBA Draft writer for Sports Illustrated, to unpack what NIL money really looks like inside the modern college game, how schools are building rosters, and why the American college system is now pulling players from Europe and other international markets at a level that is reshaping the sport.Sweeney breaks down the current NIL spending ranges across college basketball, from Final Four contenders operating with payrolls that can reach $20 million-plus, to mid-major programs using targeted spending to compete for league titles and NCAA Tournament bids. He also explains why international recruiting has become such a major part of roster building, how college programs are evaluating European talent, and where the process still has major blind spots.The conversation also gets into the uncertainty around NCAA eligibility rules for international players, the sustainability of NIL spending, and why roster evaluation now requires a deeper understanding of translatable skills, role fit, personality, learning style, and reliable intel.For coaches, scouts, executives, and anyone trying to understand where the basketball talent market is headed, this episode offers a clear look inside one of the most important shifts happening in the game today. What You'll Learn What NIL spending looks like across different levels of college basketball, from Final Four contenders to mid-major programs.  Why European and international players have become such a major target for NCAA programs.  How NIL has changed the global basketball market and put college basketball in direct competition with professional leagues.  Why international recruiting still has major evaluation gaps, especially around player intel, role fit, and translatable skills.  What the NCAA's recent eligibility guidance could mean for older international players entering college basketball.  Why the best roster builders are looking beyond scoring and placing more value on players who can defend, connect, cut, space, and impact winning without needing the ball.To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 70 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

The one quietly setting the ceiling for everyone else. And most leaders tolerate it longer than they should.Matt Crespino refused to. After taking over the Princeton men's swim team, he inherited what his assistant called an opt-in culture, where the committed thrived and the disengaged got to coast. Matt blew it up. He made the team write their own core values, told the roster it was all in or out, and just won his second straight Ivy League championship doing it.In this conversation, Matt and BJ get into what it actually takes to raise the standard without losing your people. Why he had to coach against his own instincts to let the team have fun. How relationship building, not X's and O's, is the real work.

Joe "Big House" Kenn coached strength in the NFL for nearly a decade. He sits down with Tom Barry for four decades of lessons. From a guard at Wake Forest to leading strength programs at Boise State, Utah, Arizona State, and Louisville, Joe Kenn has built one of the most decorated coaching careers in the NSCA. He created the Tier System, served as head strength and conditioning coach for the Carolina Panthers from 2011 to 2019, and is the only coach to have won both the NSCA Collegiate Strength Coach of the Year and the NFL Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year.

Following several months of negotiations, Trent Williams and the 49ers reached an agreement on a contract extension that stabilizes their biggest question mark heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. The move shows a clear commitment from both sides to maximize a championship window, while locking in a locker-room leader and addressing a premium roster position. On this episode of "49ers Talk," Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how re-signing Trent Williams impacts the organization and how it might shift San Francisco's draft strategy. Also, they discuss the start of San Francisco's offseason program, Brock Purdy's excitement at playing with an elite wide receiver in Mike Evans, and Matt's final mock draft pick for the 49ers. -- (0:00) Trent Williams contract saga ends with two-year extension (17:00) Matt's final mock draft pick: 49ers need an athletic marvel who can impact the game in pass rush (22:00) How NIL is affecting the NFL draft (29:00) John Lynch hints at how the 49ers might navigate Brandon Aiyuk's roster situation (34:00) Brock Purdy' shares how he found out the 49ers were signing Mike Evans (38:00) Why it wouldn't be shocking if the 49ers picked a WR with the No. 27 pick Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nick Caserio met the media ahead of the draft—and between him, Chris Blanco, and James Lipford, there were a lot of revealing answers.  In this episode, I go through some of the most interesting moments from the Texans' pre-draft press conference, including how they evaluate offensive linemen, how they're incorporating A.I., and what actually matters when scouting prospects. We also get into: Why the Texans value how players practice more than you might think How NIL and the transfer portal are changing scouting (for the better) What goes into big decisions like the Will Anderson trade-up How tools like AI are starting to play a role in the draft process And yes… what Caserio said (and didn't say) about how the Texans will approach this draft. If you're trying to read the tea leaves ahead of draft night, this is a good place to start. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

With the NBA regular season winding down, Ric Bucher dives into the most complicated MVP ballot he can remember — and explains why this year's race is far messier than a simple Shai Gilgeous-Alexander vs. Nikola Jokic debate. Ric makes the case for why voters are facing a legitimate five-name traffic jam, with Victor Wembanyama, Jaylen Brown, Cade Cunningham and Luka Doncic all forcing their way into the conversation. He also explains why the NBA's 65-game minimum is doing exactly what it was supposed to do.Then Ric shifts to college basketball and the speculation connecting Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan to North Carolina. Ric explains why that rumored move says more about the Bulls' future than Donovan's — and why returning to college coaching in the NIL-transfer portal era is nowhere near as attractive as it used to be.Also: Ric previews why the Lakers may be more dangerous than critics want to admit as the postseason approaches.Time Stamps: 0:00 Intro, Ric's new book The Secret to Being Coachable and where to find all United WeCast shows 2:00 New Air Club sponsorship mention 3:05 Why this year's MVP ballot is a nightmare for voters 4:13 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's case gets even stronger 5:05 Nikola Jokic's historic statistical argument 6:09 Why the 65-game minimum is working 7:28 Victor Wembanyama's MVP-worthy impact and future as the face of the league 9:46 Jaylen Brown's surprising MVP ballot case 12:37 Cade Cunningham's late push into the race 14:03 Luka Doncic and the Lakers' surge complicate everything 15:50 Why Billy Donovan to North Carolina doesn't add up 19:41 How NIL and the transfer portal changed college coaching forever 22:40 Why old-school blue blood advantages no longer guarantee success 23:24 Outro and why the Lakers may be tougher than expected in the playoffsHashtags: #OnTheBall #RicBucher #NBA #MVP #ShaiGilgeousAlexander #NikolaJokic #VictorWembanyama #LukaDoncic #JaylenBrown #CadeCunningham #Lakers #BillyDonovan #NorthCarolina #CollegeBasketball #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

On episode 222 I am thrilled to speak with Donie Maib Head Coach for Athletic Performance for Olympic Sports and Assistant Athletics Director for Athletic Performance at the University of Texas at Austin. Donnie and I met in Austin in November thanks to J. P. Nerbun A native of Gallatin, Tennessee, Donnie's own athletic journey began at the University of Georgia, where he played football. A knee injury redirected his path from the NFL to strength and conditioning. After starting his career as an assistant strength coach at University of Colorado Boulder, Donnie joined the University of Texas in 1998. Over his long tenure with the Longhorns, he has coached and developed programs in multiple sports—most notably women's volleyball, men's tennis, soccer, track & field, and golf—and has played a key role in championship-calibre teams and individual athlete breakthroughs. In 2008, Maib earned the Master Strength and Conditioning Coach (MSCC) certification from the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association—the highest professional honour in the field. He was also inducted into his High School Athletics hall of Fame for his success as a student and work at Texas. He has spent more than 25 years shaping athletes, teams, and coaching culture across collegiate sport.Beyond his on-field role, Donnie is a mentor, speaker, and author who draws on his extensive experience to inspire coaches, parents, and athletes alike. He has written two books on leadership and regularly delivers keynote talks and workshops on leadership, athlete development, and building resilient performance cultures. We discuss his role at the University, How NIL has changed college sports, his pivot from playing football and dreaming of the NFL to becoming a strength coach, leadership, coaching, and so much more.

⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! VISIT TheBuckeyeCast.com https://thebuckeyecast.com/ Ohio State fans are watching the transfer portal chaos unfold and asking the same question: why aren't the Buckeyes just buying everyone? In today's episode of The Blitz, we break down what Ohio State refuses to do in the transfer portal — and why that restraint is actually a competitive advantage. From refusing to overpay for projection players, to protecting roster development, to managing NIL without letting it poison the locker room, Ryan Day and the Buckeyes are operating with a clear philosophy. We explain: Why Ohio State won't overpay for "potential" How portal additions impact locker room culture Why the Buckeyes won't block young talent for short-term fixes How NIL discipline separates Ohio State from chaotic programs Why patience now matters more than headlines in January This is a reality check for fans frustrated by portal losses — and a reminder why Ohio State remains built for long-term playoff success.

Most parents want the roadmap — the blueprint that turns a young athlete into a confident, motivated, successful player. But very few people have lived all sides of the journey. In this episode of The Most Valuable Agent, Matt sits down with someone who has: Kevin Griffin — • Head Softball Coach at Belhaven University • Associate Athletic Director • Former college & semipro baseball player • And father of MLB's top minor league prospect, Connor Griffin Kevin brings a rare perspective: parent, coach, recruiter, evaluator, and someone who has navigated the pressure, opportunity, and noise of both youth baseball and youth softball. He breaks down the myths families fall for, the traps parents accidentally set, how to handle multi-sport decisions, and how he intentionally slowed down Connor's journey instead of chasing exposure. You'll learn why early recruiting hurt more than it helped, why parents should stop forcing sports onto kids, why the college sports landscape has changed for the worse, and how to protect your child's love for the game in an era that pushes them to specialize earlier and chase more. Kevin also shares the real story behind Connor's reclass, his injuries, draft process, the home visits, and how failure shaped who he is. This episode is packed with insights for both softball and baseball families navigating development, recruiting, and the emotional side of youth sports. Subscribe for weekly college recruiting strategy, baseball development insight, and leadership lessons for parents. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why parents must stop forcing sports — and how to spot true passion • The biggest myth about Division III softball (and why scholarships aren't what you think) • How early specialization hurts athleticism, confidence, and longevity • Why playing too many games and not enough practice is destroying development • The difference between good exposure and harmful overexposure • Why parents must treat each child differently — and why "fair" is not "equal" • What college softball recruiting really looks like behind the scenes • How NIL has changed college sports — and not for the better • Why attitude matters more than talent in the recruiting process • The real story of Connor Griffin's reclass, injury, draft pressure, and development • How home visits work — and why families must set boundaries • The #1 parenting mistake that damages the parent–athlete relationship • Why kids play to please their parents — and how that affects behavior, confidence & burnout ABOUT KEVIN GRIFFIN Kevin Griffin is the Head Softball Coach and Associate Athletic Director at Belhaven University.

The transfer portal does not open until January 2nd, but you would not have known that by looking at the news coming from the college football world on Monday. Athletes continue to announce their intentions to enter the transfer portal, and some top quarterbacks will be on the move in a couple of weeks. Florida's DJ Lagway, Nebraska's Dylan Raiola and Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby all announced they will be playing for a different school next season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss who the top available quarterback is and where some of these guys might land. They also discuss NIL's impact on all of this. A common thought is that players are transferring for more money, but are some quarterbacks transferring because they are being forced out of their current NIL contracts?Then, the guys chat about a judge granting Jeremy Pruitt a preliminary injunction against the NCAA. This blocks the six-year show-cause order against Pruitt and moves him one step closer to returning to the sidelines. Jesse Minter also has a show-cause from his time at Michigan, and Pruitt's ruling makes the crew wonder if his show-cause order could get overturned should Michigan look to hire him as their next head coach. In the latest news from the Michigan coaching search, Kalen DeBoer has now said multiple times that he is not leaving Alabama. Although part of the crew is not convinced, the guys discuss who else the Wolverines may look to.Later, Godfrey finally makes his case to save the bowls. The bowl season is a time that used to be cherished by many, but the creation of the College Football Playoff, among other issues, has caused a decline in anticipation and excitement for bowl games. Steven Godfrey turns the bowl season on its head and makes his pitch for how the bowls could be revitalized.Stay caught up on all things college football with College Football Enquirer.0:00 - Top QBs entering transfer portal11:36 - How NIL could be forcing transfers25:24 - Jeremy Pruitt wins big court ruling33:45 - Michigan's coaching search42:56 - Steven Godfrey saves the bowls  Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

From discovering her love for the outdoors to navigating identity, burnout, and depression, Emily's story is a powerful example of how difficult it can be to “move on” and why getting a job after sport isn't the whole answer.She opens up about retiring twice from volleyball, what it felt like to free-fall without a parachute, and the personal pain that led her to create Home Team, an organization dedicated to helping injured and retired athletes find community, direction, and healing after sport.This episode explores the hidden costs of life beyond competition and why support for athletes must go beyond job placements and highlight reels.What You'll Hear:- Why Emily retired from sport twice, and what brought her back- What athletes lose when they leave the game (and why a job doesn't fix it)- The “cliff effect” and how it impacts identity, eating habits, and mental health- How NIL and social media bring fame too early, and the crash that follows- What it's really like to go from being “Superman” to not recognizing your body- Why working at a desk feels unbearable for so many former athletes- The patterns of disordered eating and control that emerge post-retirement- Why Emily believes athletic departments have failed retired athletes- The emotional weight of being labeled “irrelevant” after sport-  How Home Team is creating a new kind of support network for athletes- The power of awe, nature, and adventure in post-sport healingGolden Nugget:“Most people think if an athlete gets a job after sport, they're fine. But that job can feel more disorienting than retirement itself.”Want to Go Deeper? If you've ever felt like your post-sport life is harder than you expected, or like you're the only one who's lost, you're not alone.

In this solo episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, I'm sharing two stories that hit close to home—one from the sideline and one from the broader world of college sports. How I Learned (Again) That I Belong I relive one of my final club basketball games coaching in California—when my undersized team went toe-to-toe with a junior college squad and found a way to win. It's a raw look at belief, resilience, and learning how to win again after a stretch of setbacks. If you've ever questioned whether you belong—at work, in sport, or in life—this one's for you. The NIL Era: Opportunity & Uncertainty I break down the current state of Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) in college sports: How NIL is reshaping recruiting and roster retention Why powerhouse programs (think Ohio State) and mid-majors (like Boise State) face different realities The rise of donor fatigue and what it means for long-term sustainability Why NIL can be a double-edged sword—creating new opportunities for JUCO and DII athletes while adding pressure elsewhere Practical ideas for athletes (yes, even JUCO players) to build a brand—like starting a podcast and owning your story What you'll take away: How to rebuild confidence after a string of losses Why culture and standards help you "flip the switch" back to winning Actionable ways athletes and coaches can adapt in the NIL era If you're a coach, parent, athlete, or sports fan who believes games teach life, you'll feel right at home here. After nine years of conversations with athletes and coaches from 183 countries and all 50 states, I'm more convinced than ever: when you put in the work, you belong.
