The NCAA's Use of Title IX as a Shield for Bad Business Practices

In today’s episode, we talk about how the NCAA has engaged in bad faith efforts to use Title IX to shield it from being held accountable for business practices that exploit and discriminate against college athletes. Prior to pursuing a doctoral degree in sport management, Sam worked as a sports agent, consultant, and immigration attorney so he brings a wealth of experience and insight to this topic as a lawyer and scholar.

Cryptids: Supernatural

For our ninth episode in our Cryptids season, we’re going to talk about supernatural cryptids! Supernatural cryptids are described as having anomalous and unexplained abilities, and are often linked with Spirits and Demons. Pretty much any cryptid that can be attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature. (Hint: Did that shadow in the corner of my room just move?) This is the finale of the main part of the season, so we’re going to take a few weeks off, but maybe we’ll be back when it gets a little spookier out… To quote Gavin, “Who’s to say?” If you like all things dark, creepy, and strange, check out The Dark Archive, a new podcast featuring TSW’s Gavin Berger, available wherever you get your podcasts! https://linktr.ee/thedarkarchivepodcast Don’t forget to follow on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! https://www.facebook.com/thisstrangeworldpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/thisstrangeworldpodcast/ https://twitter.com/thisstrangepod/ And check out more This Strange World links here: https://linktr.ee/thisstrangeworldpodcast A High Tops Media Podcast You can follow for more High Tops Media content on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter: @hightopsmedia Check out more podcasts on our website https://hightops.media Sources https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cryptid https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Supernatural https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Wendigo https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Shadow_People https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Baba_Yaga

The Role College Athletics Plays in Enrollment at Small Private Institutions and Gender Equity Implications

For those familiar with the history of college sport and higher education, athletics has played a key role in admission and enrollment efforts in colleges and universities since the late 1800s to the present. In the very early days when land grant institutions like LSU and private colleges like Stanford or Notre Dame were getting established, men’s sports programs became vehicles to attract new applicants and to create name brand recognition. In describing the relationship of athletics to a college campus, Scott Barnes, then athletic director at Utah State University in 2009 offered the metaphor that “Athletics are the front porch of the university. It’s not the most important room in the house, but it is the most visible”. For small private institutions in the 21st century, athletics has increasingly become a critical consideration in enrollment planning. From a strategic perspective, some schools have added men’s sports to respond to declining interest from male applicants. Other schools have added both men’s and women’s teams as part of what is a sports enrollment strategy to build enrollment. And still others gambled on sports enrollment as a survival strategy and lost. To help us gain a better understanding of how “sports enrollment” fits within a larger enrollment strategy for small private colleges, we are joined today by Dr. Steve Dittmore. Steve is dean of the College of Education and Human Services with the University of North Florida. Dr. Dittmore is a seasoned administrator who is a nationally recognized thought leader on issues related to intercollegiate athletic administration. His primary academic research areas include the role of athletics within higher education, Olympic and college sport policy and governance, government regulation of sport broadcasting and baseball history. He has been the assistant editor and content creator for AthleticDirectorU college athletics news platform and holds prior sport industry practitioner experience with a variety of high-profile organizations. He has authored numerous books and research articles on the industry, including a forthcoming biography Jim Gilliam: The Forgotten Dodger and his substack newsletter, Glory Days.

Movies in the Buff - Serendipity

In this action packed, drama filled, romance induced episode, the guys discuss the fantasy vs reality of the 2001 film, Serendipity. They discuss how they feel about "cheating", and how that impacts the love story. They also touch on the nostalgia of a pre 9/11 NYC vs post 9/11 and the loss of a false innocence of a city that may never truly be able to regain the "Serendipity" that the film portrays.
