Controversy about transgender athletes competing with biological females - we get into the "fairness" and the safety conversation.

Also it came out of NOWHERE that LIV and PGA have kissed and made up and now are joining forces together - all outstanding litigation has been ceased

Finally we talk about former USFL president, Brian Woods, launching The Spring League, which aims to recruit high school athletes and offers less restrictive NIL rules. Montell and I talk both sides of this story (pros and cons) - don't miss the discussion!!
