Hour 1 begins with Dan, Jessica, and Mike give their initial thoughts on Ethan Strauss' latest piece for The Free Press titled "The NCAA has a 'Hot Girl' Problem." They discuss the premise of the article, current NIL structure, and the consistent failures in moving the conversation forward on women's sports. Then, it's time for Meadowlarkers 82 as Kate Fagan, Amin Elhassan, and Howard Bryant dive much deeper into the story. They touch on where the article fell short and where it added perspective, 'lazy journalism' around women's sports, the greater problems in sports marketing as it stands today, using a 'lottery ticket' for NIL vs. Clicks, how editors play into sports journalism, and much more.
