I state off today's Pod with commentary on the language of Sports Media. They want us angry and hooked. Also, they way they describe athletes and mostly black athletes in inhumane terms. Whales, Weapons and Beast to name a few. The average then parrots what they hear and forget to look at the athletes as humans. Which makes it easy to mis-treat in print, online or a broadcast. The CSC(College Sports Commission) has released info on the 1st year of True NIL Tracking and the numbers are astronomical. The amount of dollars are mind blowing and only growing. Due to the lack of control by the People who were put in place to control the spending. LSU is making a major announcement this week and rumor is they will be the 1st in a big way to do something that schools and conferences have been careful about not doing. If they succeed in their efforts, this may cause other entities to join them in chase of the almighty dollar. Why are they willing to do so and what has lead them to this point. The BIG XII held it's Media day for the 2026-27 school year. As you may guess, the Brendon Sworsby was the point of interest. Find out what was said and not said, during their media days. The BIG XII did announce a conference wide sponsorship deal. This deal will change the look of college uniforms and playing surfaces. The BIG XII was also, notified of more fallout involving the gambling QB at a different member institution stay. Deon Sanders gave a health status for the 2026 season and what is the BIG XII hoping for the 26-27 year. The NFL's rush to PAY-dirt may cause problems for the colleges as they all fight for more money, more-money and more money. How on the back end this could hurt their labor pool. I end the show some quick hits on the Jamie Pollard Iowa State long-time A.D. The frame work on how the Transfer portal could get more crazy and the bury the hatchet moment of Brent Yurmark and Texas Tech executives dinner, that didn't go as planned.

A Fox News article argues that some sports media outlets are trying to decide which American fans are allowed to cheer for Team USA at the World Cup. Is there a liberal bias in sports media, or is this just another example of every cultural moment getting dragged into politics? When you see World Cup coverage, do you think the media is celebrating America, judging America, or just looking for the easiest narrative? The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that a former Rastafarian inmate cannot sue individual state prison officials for money damages after they forcibly shaved off his knee-length dreadlocks.

Stop trying to do it all. This Father's Day episode is your wake-up call—how to be the kind of dad, spouse, and leader who shows up when it matters. My special guest is Jay Bilas. You know Jay as one of ESPN's most trusted basketball voices. He joined ESPN in 1995 and has spent decades on the biggest stages in the sport, from College GameDay to the top men's college matchups every week, plus NBA Draft coverage and major studio shows. He is also the New York Times bestselling author of Toughness: Developing True Strength On and Off the Court. Jay was a four-year starter at Duke under Mike Krzyzewski from 1982 to 1986. His 1986 Duke team set the NCAA record for the most wins in a single season with 37. While Jay was an assistant coach under Krzyzewski, the Blue Devils won back-to-back National Championships in 1991 and 1992. Jay has also distinguished himself on Twitter, having been named to Sports Illustrated's “Twitter 100” for being among the 100 most essential Twitter follows in sports, and one of the 25 Most Powerful People in Sports Media by The Big Lead. Since 1992, Jay has been a licensed attorney with the law firm of Moore & Van Allen, PLLC, where he has specialized in commercial litigation. He serves on the National Board of the Coaches vs. Cancer Organization, the Board of Advisors of the Duke Brain Tumor Center, and the Board of Directors of The V Foundation for Cancer Research. This conversation isn't about basketball. It's about presence, priorities, and the quiet power of doing the right things when nobody's watching. In this episode, Jay gets real about: Why preparation is a form of toughness—and how it creates calm and confidence The trap of believing you can “have it all” (and what to do instead) The Father's Day truth that hits hard: what your family actually needs from you What kids remember most—and the simple standard that changes everything Jay's one-line job description for fathers: “Be there 100% when you're there.” This is your Father's Day wake-up call. Listen—and then make one change your family will feel this week. Follow Jay: @jbillis on X and Instagram.

We break down what this massive shift means for the global economy, how Elon Musk's core assets like Starlink and XAI fit into the picture, and whether this concentrates too much power in the hands of one person. Beyond the trading floor, we tackle the massive cultural shifts reshaping entertainment and sports.
