Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 158 - Armen Keteyian On College Football's Era of Chaos

We welcome in NY Times Best-selling author, Emmy Award winner, and legendary investigative reporter Armen Keteyian to talk about his new book, THE PRICE: What It Takes To Win In College Football's Era of Chaos.

Armen discusses the current state of college football, particularly focusing on the issue of player compensation and transfers... the recent case of the UNLV quarterback and the offer made by a Michigan fan to a top 10 quarterback. Armen also shared his insights on the NCAA, describing it as a cartel violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. He also mentioned the legal history of the NCAA, including the O'Bannon, Austin, and House cases. We also discuss the reality that the NCAA has been delaying and denying player compensation for decades, spending millions of dollars defending its indefensible practices.

Order: THE PRICE

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 151 - Waving Goodbye to NCAA Amateurism

As summer plows ahead, so does the march to end the pretense of amateurism in college sports. What does it mean when the NCAA approves the paying of "student" athletes? Where is it all headed? We've got an extra intense discussion about the demise of amateur college sports and you'll want to hear all of it.

We open by welcoming a Celtics fan to the show for the sole purpose of gloating about the 'chip, but he ends up making a really strong case for them being a (gasp!) likable team.
