Grace Ybarra and Galen Clavio talk through a brutal week for Indiana men's basketball, starting with the collapse and loss to Northwestern at Assembly Hall. It's a full therapy session: effort concerns, the offensive disappearance, rebounding issues, and the late no-call that capped a night IU fans won't forget. Then the mood shifts to the “happy things” segment: Indiana football's momentum keeps rolling as 2026 football season tickets sell out, and the Hoosiers send a program-record nine players to the NFL Combine—with plenty of love for Fernando Mendoza, Aiden Fisher, and the rest of the title-team stars. Plus: Team USA's gold medal win over Canada in hockey, and (of course) a quick Max Mendoza detour to close it out.

Indiana Basketball Show W/Steve Risley: IU/Northwestern Recap

Indiana suffered a devastating 72–68 home loss to Northwestern, falling to 17–11 overall and 8–9 in Big Ten play after squandering a strong first half and enduring another prolonged offensive drought. The Hoosiers built an early lead behind hot shooting but went cold late, allowing a struggling Northwestern team to seize control and dramatically complicate Indiana's NCAA tournament outlook. Andy, Ryan, and Coach Tonsoni break down a frustrating defeat that exposed familiar issues on both ends of the floor:How Indiana's red-hot start — fueled by Lamar Wilkerson's early shooting — unraveled into a second-half scoring drought that decided the gameWhy the offense stalled into perimeter passing and late-clock jumpers during a decisive 10-minute stretch without a field goalThe puzzling rotation decisions surrounding Tayton Conerway despite his clear impact attacking the rimDefensive breakdowns and matchup choices that allowed Northwestern's Nick Martinelli to take over the second halfThe rebounding and physicality gaps that turned a struggling opponent into the more aggressive teamMissed late foul calls that loomed large — while also highlighting why Indiana never should have been in that positionWhat this loss means for Indiana's tournament chances with urgency now surrounding the final stretch of the seasonPlus, the Hall of a Moment, game balls, Hoosier Hustle Award, and a candid discussion of where Indiana stands heading into a critical matchup with Michigan State.This episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Visible Voices Podcast, I'm in conversation with Graham Walker MD — emergency physician, healthcare AI thought leader and co-founder of Off Call. Originally released as an audio episode in 2024, we are re-releasing the conversationas an audio and video episode as OffCall is on a mission is to dramatically reverse burnout by improving the wealth and wellbeing of physicians. We talk about why 71,000 physicians left medicine in 2021–2022, the corporatization of healthcare, and what Off Call is doing to restore transparency and value to physician careers. Graham is the creator of MDCalc, used by roughly two-thirds of U.S. doctors, and theNNT.com — two free tools born from his conviction that physicians deserve better instruments to practice safer, evidence-based medicine. We trace the full arc of his story: growing up in a psychiatry household in suburban Kansas City, studying social policy at Northwestern, coding websites on the side to pay the bills, and arriving at Stanford med school where inefficiency got under his skin enough to build MDCalc.  Sign up for OffCall Listen to How I Doctor podcast Wish to help the show?

Following the USA men's hockey team's overtime win over Canada in the gold medal game, it seemed like a great time to take a look back at some of the most memorable overtime games in Ohio State football history.The Buckeyes have played in 13 overtime games since the format was first introduced in 1996, and they are 11-2 in those games, with the only losses coming at Northwestern in 2004, and at Purdue in 2011. OSU hasn't played an overtime game since beating Maryland, 52-51, in 2018. Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss the five greatest overtime games in Ohio State football history, including the 2016 double-OT classic against Michigan, and the 2003 Fiesta Bowl win over the Miami Hurricanes that gave Jim Tressel a 14-0 national championship season.

One of the hottest topics in college athletics turns out to be about nonprofits. This episode unpacks how nonprofit colleges and third-party NIL collectives support individual student athletes, the governance and tax questions that follow, and what the recent NCAA settlement means for oversight and compliance. We also look ahead to emerging federal regulation and how nonprofits might engage in shaping what comes next.   Attorneys for this Episode ·      Tim Mooney ·      Victor Rivera   Why NIL Is a Nonprofit Issue  ·       Define NIL: athlete rights to monetize their brand (name, image, likeness). ·       Distinguish third-party deals vs. institution-linked compensation ·       Why nonprofits are in the mix: NIL collectives, booster organizations, independent sponsorscirculating capital in the ecosystem. College athletics live inside nonprofit institutions — universities and colleges are almost all 501(c)(3)s. Enter third-party NIL collectives — many of which are also nonprofits, often organized as 501(c)(3)s or seeking that status. When nonprofits move money, governance and tax law always follow — NIL is no exception. In October 2025, a settlement in House v. NCAA settlement centralized review mechanisms (the College Sports Commission – or CSC) now oversee deal approvals & compliance. Ongoing federal intervention: the proposed SCORE Act is NCAA-backed and would stop athletes from being considered employees and shield the NCAA from the kinds of class action lawsuits that got us to the current NIL landscape   How Nonprofits End Up Supporting Individual College Athletes Nonprofits can and do financially benefit specific individuals (scholarships, disaster relief, housing aid, fellowships). NIL collectives operate on a similar theory: Supporting athletes through appearances, community engagement, or promotional activity Often tied (explicitly or implicitly) to institutional athletic programs The tension: Supporting individuals is allowed But private benefit, inurement, and mission drift are still red lines Issue with compensating individuals using their "fair market value" Key question for nonprofits: Are we advancing a charitable purpose (legal) or just subsidizing compensation (questionable)? Governance Questions Nonprofits Can't Ignore Board-level responsibilities Mission alignment How does athlete support further the stated charitable purpose? Is this education, community engagement, economic equity or something else? "Amateur athletics" does a lot of heavy lifting here, but sometimes the collectives compensate the athletes for promoting charitable events/causes. Board oversight Who approves NIL strategy? How are conflicts of interest handled (especially boosters, alumni, donors)? Controls and accountability Criteria for selecting athletes Documentation of services provided Fair market value analysis Transparency What are donors told? What is disclosed publicly vs. internally? Regulation on the Horizon After the NCAA Settlement The NCAA settlement signals: More centralized oversight More formal review of NIL arrangements Less tolerance for "wink-and-nod" structures Likely regulatory pressure points: Standardized deal review Clearer definitions of permissible activity Increased scrutiny of nonprofit status and operations Should Nonprofits Weigh In on What Comes Next? The NCAA settlement last fall quieted things down by creating reporting structures, arguably with some teeth. But as things evolve, there's more space for nonprofits in particular to notice. Will the College Sports Commission (CSC) continue to have conference support so it can enforce the NIL rules? The agreement hasn't been fully adopted yet, but the CSC is already knocking down some NIL deals. Federal legislation (SCORE Act or SAFE Act) Recent controversies surrounding eligibility of former pro-basketball players (Amari Bailey, Charles Bediako) may force Congress to act NCAA-adjacent rulemaking State-level NIL frameworks particularly regarding their institutions Other structures could allow potential pathways for unionization for student-athletes 501(c)(5)s like AFL-CIO have come out against SCORE Act Previous attempts have failed by student-athletes in Northwestern and in other universities and the SCORE Act has a provision that bans college athletes from being considered employees Resources NIL Compliance Tightens: What the NCAA's New Rules Mean for Institutions and Sponsors – Steptoe and Johnson College Sports Watchdog Will Enforce Rules Without Legal Backing – Front Office Sports NIL regulations for college athletes face hurdles in Congress – Spectrum News Letter Opposing Legislation That Would Be A Bad Deal for College Athletes – AFL-CIO

In this episode of Earned, CreatorIQ CMO Brit Starr sits down with Frank Dudley—marketing leader, Northwestern professor, and author of an upcoming Wiley book on Creator Marketing and Commerce Media—to unpack why the industry's shift from influencer marketing to creator marketing is more than semantics. Frank argues that creators aren't a channel; they're the connective tissue across the customer choice journey, orchestrating demand from awareness through conversion in a dynamic, signal-driven system. Brit and Frank explore how this reframing helps brands move beyond siloed campaigns and start designing creator programs around jobs to be done: removing real consumer friction like confusion, skepticism, inertia, and perceived risk. Frank shares concrete examples—Dyson using explainer creators to demystify product claims, Sephora leaning on creators for mid-funnel confidence like shade matching, and Instacart creators driving lower-funnel utility through speed, substitutions, and savings. The conversation also dives into measurement, including why the market is shifting toward incrementality over engagement, and how integrating creators with commerce and paid amplification enables closed-loop learning and attributable impact. Finally, Frank breaks down the unglamorous—but essential—operational infrastructure required to scale: creative supply chains, decisioning layers, and data/legal ops. The takeaway: creator marketing isn't a tactic—it's a full-funnel operating system CMOs can roadmap. In this episode, you'll learn: How creators are now the engine behind modern targeting and demand creation The shift from disconnected creator efforts to coordinated marketing systems How creator programs contribute to measurable revenue outcomes Connect with the Guest: Frank's LinkedIn - @fdudley   Connect with Brit Starr & CreatorIQ: Brit's LinkedIn - @britmccorquodale CreatorIQ LinkedIn - @creatoriq Follow us on social: CreatorIQ YouTube - @CreatorIQOfficial CreatorIQ Instagram - @creatoriq CreatorIQ TikTok - @creator.iq CreatorIQ Twitter - @CreatorIQ

Tony and Andrew had a lot to talk about, from recapping Michigan's two double-digit wins over Northwestern and UCLA, to previewing the games against Purdue and Duke.

No Brian, no Sam today. Reminder to get your Dusty shirt for the Maize-Out. Things Discussed: Hoops vs Northwestern: Fell behind from a combination of dumbass play (Cadeau turnovers were brutal), missing bunnies, Northwestern shooting out of their minds. Why didn't Chris Collins stick with Arrinten Page? Third coaching staff that guy's played for that clearly hates him, played 26 minutes and was killing us (especially when he hit a three). Did the Nebraska thing to get Jayden Reid switched onto Mara, but they couldn't hit a shot in the 2nd half the way Nebraska could. Still not fixed? Or did they know Page and Martinelli are 15% shooters on contested threes and let them jack, eating bad luck in the beginning? LJ Cason game! Thought he had some howler possessions early but got his game in order and when he calmed down we got the best game of his young career. Trading threes with Martinelli was the turning point. Trey McKenney: Becoming a star. He's Nimari plus: great defensive anticipation, ice in his veins at the moment. Officials allowed numerous hook and holds, only called one because Dusty challenged it, and then they undid it by giving Mara a flagrant. Fourth time this season that they've gotten Verne Harris (PSU, Nebraska, Washington), and fourth time we've had to say the uneven officiating was a major reason Michigan struggled. Gayle: Underappreciated moment: turnover when he had the ball down low vs Reid, then they recreated it to get him a dunk. UCLA: Cronin built the softest team and then screams at them like they're most pugilistic sonsabitches in the conference. You recruited them man! Worry us because they're going to try to play five out—their three point shooting is a random number generator. Michigan has to crush them at the rim and convert if he brings help to Mara—not a Gayle game. WBB: Speaking of UCLA, Michigan was some made bunnies away. Third time this year they've had an opportunity to knock off a national title contender at home with their last possession. UCLA then obliterated MSU. Michigan is going to be a favorite next year, but they need to convert the easy things (free throws and shots at the rim) to take that step.

The Wolverines rallied from a 16-point deficit to secure a crucial road win and extend their program-best start on Wednesday night. Brian and Terry react to the 87-75 victory before Brian heads to the Michigan locker room around the nine-minute mark for three great interviews with Head Coach Dusty May, L.J. Cason, and Yaxel Lendeborg. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With Valentine's Day around the corner, we take a look at the 2025 storylines we secretly loved. Whether scrappy teams held things together with gum and chicken wire, coaches who turned programs around overnight, or the moments that didn't make national headlines, we talk through the things that got our hearts pumping. Think Wisconsin winning games with their punter as the leading passer, Houston quietly going 10-3, Arch Manning actually getting better when pundits left him for dead, and much more. In this episode, we share our own picks before opening it up to the Verballerhood, whose submissions cover everything from Kenny Dillingham staying at Arizona State to the absurdity of Lane Kiffin's move to LSU, Arkansas fans learning to love heartbreak, Indiana fans debating whether to protect their hearts or go all in on Curt Cignetti, and much more.
