In this episode, we speak with Maggie and Conor Bell, two siblings who founded the non-profit CACE (College Athlete Compliance Enquiries) and they serve as a confidential resource for athletes who have compliance-related questions, especially those who are considering transferring and looking for advice and guidance through the process, so that athletes can get the help they need without risking their relationship with a coach or school official. And they are currently working on ways to help athletes make informed decisions about schools during recruiting in hopes that it will help more athletes avoid the transfer process altogether.
