Podcasts about Nil

In part two, I press into a word we throw around too loosely in college athletics: development. Rashard and I sort out the differences between strength and conditioning, scholar-athlete development across leadership, career, life skills and community, player development for team ROI, and capital or NIL fundraising. We also talk brass tacks on funding: start with your head coach and your development office, get everyone at the same table, and design experiences that help athletes grow while giving donors and corporate partners something meaningful to support. Rashard is clear that the NIL and portal era affects a small slice of athletes, while most still want to be led, challenged, and exposed to real world opportunities. That hunger shows up powerfully at D2, D3, and HBCU programs when you bring them access. Rashard walks through his book, Scholar Athlete Elite, a practical four-quarter guide from freshman to senior year that tackles NIL, academics, mental health, redshirting, and more. He explains his company like a career agency for athletes, identifying talent, developing it through micro-internships and curated trips, and placing athletes on winning teams in business, with a nonprofit arm to open doors for underserved schools. We finish on his vision for NIL ownership, giving athletes micro experiences in entrepreneurship, and a look back at how his own yes to opportunities set the foundation. If you lead athletes, this is a blueprint for building people first, then watching performance follow. Shoutout to Sorinex and EliteForm for making these episodes possible!

Gabe and Cody go for an hour on Eli Drinkwitz's Tuesday comments. What to make of the NIL pleas? Is it possible at Mizzou? What do Drink's comments mean for his future at Mizzou? Should you expect more out of Missouri football than you've been getting?

The conversation explores strategic shifts in recruiting across Southern powerhouses, the NIL era's influence, and whether Ohio State's aggressive late-cycle surge can cement a top-three national class. Is Columbus becoming the premier destination for elite prospects?@fbscout_florida On X @LO_ThePortal TikTok @lockedontheportalSupport us by supporting our sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

Welcome Kate Martin to Hurdle! This week on the show, the WNBA player for the Golden State Valkyries and Unrivaled competitor takes us on a deep dive into what it takes to thrive in the professional game, sharing how she's constantly evolving both on and off the court. Kate opens up about the major adjustments she’s made since leaving college—not just to the rigorous WNBA schedule, but to her own mindset. She discusses the chaotic travel and the importance of finding those small windows to optimize her body, sharing the hydration and mobility hacks that are her non-negotiable recovery tools. Martin gets honest about her struggles with negative self-talk and how the identity of being the "glue" teammate actually helps her play better. Plus, Kate talks about the mental and physical comeback from a devastating ACL tear, explaining why that difficult experience taught her how to be a cheerleader first—a skill that has shaped her entire career. IN THIS EPISODE The Post-College Grind: How she manages the WNBA travel schedule by prioritizing mobility work and drip-drop hydration (electrolyte packets) on every flight to combat dehydration and stay ready for immediate workouts. The Power of NIL: Her personal experience navigating the NIL landscape in college, and the hilarious story of how she was completely blindsided by her own draft pick while expecting to be fully focused on supporting Caitlin Clark. The Best Version of an Athlete: Why she is focused on becoming a more well-rounded player by working on attacking the rim and being consistent when shooting under fatigue. Adversity as Fuel: Why she views her major ACL injury in college as the "best thing that ever happened to me" because it taught her empathy and the importance of showing up as a great teammate. Personal Identity: Why being labeled an "underdog" doesn't bother her, and why she is okay with the balance of being a great athlete and a great person who prioritizes her family. Simple Wellness: Her simple, non-negotiable wellness routine, which includes chicken, rice, and cold tubs for physical and mental reset. QUOTABLE MOMENTS On self-talk:"I would definitely say that [negative self-talk] is still a work in progress for sure. I would sit here and tell every single one of my teammates, 'Don't be so hard on yourself, negative self-talk is terrible, it benefits nothing.'" On what she sees in the mirror:"I want people to see a good person who cares about her teammates and who is a lot more than just a basketball player." On coming back from injury:"If you have a bad day, that's okay, too. Because you're going to have bad days... and you're going to eventually start trending upwards if you continue to do the right things." On coming back after a loss:“You cannot linger in the past, you really just got to keep pushing and looking forward. You have to have that goldfish mentality."

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 192 - Show Me The Money - The New World Order of College Sports In this episode of Church Pew Sports, hosts Bill Hobson, Pastor Paul Miller, David Collins, and Randy Gilmer dive headfirst into one of the busiest, wildest stretches in the sports calendar — and connect it all back to real life, real faith, and the pursuit of integrity in a chaotic world. The conversation opens with a fast-paced recap of the latest action across the sports landscape, including the thrilling World Series finale, the launch of the NBA and NHL seasons, and the ever-spinning chaos of the college football coaching carousel. NFL talk dominates the next segment, beginning with the Chicago Bears' surprising 7–3 record and the Detroit Lions' emotional rollercoaster season.  The group continues by comparing team-building philosophies, contrasting the Eagles' bold, trade-driven roster strategy with the Lions' more hesitant approach under Brad Holmes. This leads to a wider conversation about officiating — a familiar source of "Holy Discontent" — including the perception that controversial calls often go against Detroit. They commend the ACC's transparent replay system and then shift to the billion-dollar private-equity proposal being considered by the Big Ten. Michigan and USC are pushing back, raising concerns about valuation and binding long-term commitments, sparking a deeper conversation about how college athletics is drifting toward a fully transactional model. Bill laments how NIL has fundamentally changed college basketball and shares his longing for a simpler, relationship-driven era of college sports. David echoes that sentiment, reflecting on how sports and even politics feel increasingly exposed, with the "romantic curtain" pulled back for good. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire discussion of FIFA's controversial World Cup ticket practices, NCAA sanctions, and the ripple effects of Michigan State's punishment in the college football scandal. Finally, the crew closes with a powerful reminder about character and legacy, inspired by Maryland basketball coach Buzz Williams, who said he hopes to be remembered not for wins or money but for being a faithful husband and father. Another week, another blend of sports talk, cultural insight, humor, and faith as the Church Pew Sports crew helps listeners see the bigger picture behind the games we love.   This week's CPS Starting Host Lineup: Bill Hobson Pastor Paul Miller David Collins Randy Gilmer --------- Did you know you can now WATCH Church Pew Sports on our new YOUTUBE Channel?

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 14, 2025. 0:30 We dig into a surprising new analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco that challenges decades of economic dogma. For nearly a century, experts have insisted that tariffs raise prices and cripple economies—but a 150-year review of data from the U.S., UK, and France shows the opposite. We break down how tariffs can lower prices, strengthen domestic manufacturing, reduce foreign dependency, and expose the myths that fueled the rise of global competitors like China. And we look at how new trade deals and shifting economic power are reshaping American industry in real time. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Prosecution against President Trump from Georgia will move forward with Peter Skandalakis as the prosecutor. California Congressman Eric Swalwell, who previously was accused of having an affair with a Chinese spy, is now accused of falsifying loans. Democrat Jared Golden of Maine announced this week he won't be seeking reelection to Congress. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We break down the debate over H-1B visas, fraud in the system, and the growing rift inside the Republican Party over immigration and specialized labor. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s proposal to cap visas and crack down on abuse faces pushback after President Trump argues that certain specialized skills simply don’t exist in sufficient numbers here at home. We explore why most H-1B visas aren’t going to top-tier engineers, how major tech and outsourcing firms have become the biggest beneficiaries, and why national security concerns are now shaping the conversation about who should—or shouldn’t—be filling America’s most sensitive industrial and defense roles. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s latest film, Christie—a biopic about 1990s boxer Christy Martin—and why the movie world has turned on one of its brightest young stars. Despite keeping her politics private, Sweeney has been labeled “problematic” after reports surfaced that she’s a registered Republican. Now, after the film’s disappointing box office debut, some in the industry are blaming her for its performance.We explore the double standard in Hollywood—how major flops from firmly left-leaning stars barely make a ripple, while Sweeney’s misstep draws vitriol from actors like Ruby Rose. We also highlight Christy Martin’s heartfelt defense of Sweeney, pushing back against claims that she “ruined” the film. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:00 We break down the economic pressures shaping young voters—and how those frustrations helped propel Zoran Mamdani to victory in New York City. We examine the growing resentment around rent, wages, and soaring personal debt, including the staggering $1.2 trillion in U.S. credit card balances. 24:30 We Dig Deep into a new Gallup report showing one of the sharpest drops in religiosity anywhere in the world—and what that means for America’s future.We break down the 17-point decline in Americans who say faith is an important part of daily life, and why the Founders believed a moral and religious people were essential to preserving freedom. We look at how this vacuum of belief is being filled—not by God, but by government. From New York City’s Zoran Mamdani declaring that no problem is too big for government to solve, to the rise of political and ideological substitutes for religion, misplaced faith in bureaucracy threatens liberty itself. 31:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:00 We break down a sprawling, mob-linked sports betting ring that stretched across college campuses and pulled in student-athletes. We discuss how the explosion of legalized sports gambling, combined with the massive money flowing through today’s NIL era, has created fertile ground for corruption and chaos. From point-shaving schemes to young athletes being pressured by organized crime, we look at how institutions once built on discipline and merit have drifted into moral relativism and cash-driven incentives. And as New Jersey authorities uncover a multi-million-dollar criminal pipeline tied to college programs, the warning signs are getting harder to ignore. 35:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From TSA bonuses and collapsing bridges, to chart-topping AI-generated music, Tiktok scandals, and even Tucker Carlson's interview with Bigfoot, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:00 We take a look at the Democratic National Committee’s latest internal drama: staffers being ordered back to the office after years of remote work. Long-distance governing may have contributed to the party’s recent missteps, but they aren't too happy about returning to the office and we're saying, "Whoa." 41: And we finish off with a young man with integrity. After turning in some lost cash, he was rewarded with a job.

West Virginia traveled more than two thousand miles to face Arizona State, but Saturday's outcome came down to inches.The Mountaineers' struggles in critical fourth-and-short moments proved costly, opening the door for the Sun Devils to escape with the win.In this episode, the “Guys” unpack the disappointment in the desert and shine a well-deserved spotlight on the WVU women's basketball team after its unprecedented—and emphatic—victory over No. 15 Duke.Listener questions and comments round out the show on Textual Healing. 

This is the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, 2025 – Episode 18 with Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka, and even though Nebraska had a bye week, there's no shortage of things to talk about. Even without a Nebraska game, Husker football is never off the table. Travis and Rob revisit TJ Lateef's performance against UCLA, why the timing of this bye week might actually be perfect for a true freshman quarterback, and whether fans are about to put unfair expectations on him heading into a night game at Penn State. They also talk about Nebraska–Penn State history, from classic Osborne–Paterno battles to the emotional post-Sandusky trip to Happy Valley. Then it gets big-picture: Do bowl games even matter anymore? Is it time to ditch most bowls and move to a 16, 20, or even 24-team playoff? How has NIL money created more parity and changed who can realistically compete for national titles? That leads directly into the Big Ten private equity conversation. Travis and Dr. Rob break down the proposed multi-billion-dollar deal, why some schools see it as a glorified payday loan, why Michigan and USC reportedly aren't thrilled, and what it could mean for future TV deals, revenue sharing, and the balance of power inside the conference. And yes, Iowa sneaks into the conversation. The guys compare Iowa's recent close losses to ranked teams with Nebraska's own frustrations, and Rob answers a simple question with a complicated history: under a 12-team playoff, how far away is Nebraska from getting in — and does Iowa make it under Kirk Ferentz? Along the way, you'll hear from sponsors like GDEFY shoes, Orr Law Group, and Husker Hounds.

The latest Five Heart Podcast opens with playful banter between Greg and Minnie about titles, equality, and co-hosting duties. Chat participation quickly heats up, leading to jokes and light teasing. The tone stays humorous and conversational throughout. Minnie discusses her recent trip to the UCLA game, describing the Rose Bowl atmosphere and the overwhelming presence of Husker fans.

The discussion turns to injuries, offensive line development, youth on the roster, and how Nebraska's success might impact player futures—particularly Emmett Johnson's NFL prospects and the quarterback situation with Dylan Raiola and Lateef. The hosts touch on UCLA's football situation, Big Ten Media Days, NIL influence, and Matt Rhule's growing media presence. They close with predictions, jokes, gratitude toward supporters, and the show's signature sign-off: “Five Heart is all the heart you need. Go Big Red.”

The second College Football Playoff ranking releases tonight. How dramatic will a shift in the rankings be? There is sure to be some near the bottom of the Top 10 after #8 Texas Tech's dominant win over #7 BYU, but how about the top? After #3 Texas A&M's convincing win at #22 Missouri and #2 Indiana's struggle at Penn State, will the committee jump the Aggies over the Hoosiers? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss how they think the rankings will play out going forward. Plus, what impact could #16 Vanderbilt have on the rankings this season? What has to fall their way in order to make it into this year's CFP, and how can they make sure they can keep their coach after such success this season?Then, the guys take a look at a new tactic for the coaching carousel: Don't get involved. This is the tactic Wisconsin is taking as they announced that head coach Luke Fickell will remain at the helm next season. The immediate result was an upset of #23 Washington. The guys discuss this decision for Wisconsin and their vow to put more funds into the football program. Will this be enough to boost the future of the team and turn the program towards a winning path? What took them so long to get to this point? The guys also talk about why some schools were able to adapt quickly and other schools struggled to respond to NIL. Hint: Some were prepared, some weren't prepared and some were already well versed in the art of paying players. Later, the drama in the Big Ten continues to heat up amongst discussions about private equity. Board members of various schools are speaking out about their lack of involvement with this decision and their opposition to it being voted through. The American Council of Trustees & Alumni, ACTA, is also now involved. A vote seems to still be upcoming, with the current expectation being that only Michigan and USC's presidents are against the decision. How will this all play out?All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer(2:51) - CFP ranking expectations: Will #3 Texas A&M jump #2 Indiana?(12:18) - What are #16 Vanderbilt's CFP chances?(25:36) - How Wisconsin and other schools can increase their NIL funding(50:48) - Big Ten private equity drama continues to get worse Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:
