We're in a brave new world of college sports. One of the biggest revolutions in college sports came when the NCAA allowed college student athletes to get paid. Where previously some athletes might have received scholarships to play, now they can also get branding deals worth millions. Some UW students have reportedly signed contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. But how does it all work? What does it mean for the students, the teams and the university? How is it changing UW sports? Here to answer these questions and more is Jim Polzin, sports columnist at the Wisconsin State Journal. Producer Dylan Brogan caught up with him in November.
