The Hopper Podcast

As we approach the "Final Four," how does money affect college athletics? Men's basketball and football make buckets of money for schools, but the athletes don't see any of the money. New changes allow athletes to sell their "name, image, and likeness;" this only affects the very few most popular athletes. Willy wants a big change, but Dave wants some modest changes.

Then, crazy stories of dune buggies vs. go carts; watching vs. running marathons.
