The Option Podcast

College sports are at an inflection point. What’s been a stubbornly constant institution for the better part of a century is finally changing, and fast. The NCAA that many of us grew up with is already gone. In its place, we have a new version of college sports, and it doesn’t look much like the old days. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry that keeps on growing with each passing year. That money isn’t all staying put, though. It’s on the move, and it looks like it might keep moving all the way to a revolutionary shift in college sports. Find out where it’s headed, here on The Option.

    Episode 5: Majority Rule

    College sports contain multitudes. Nearly all of the coverage is devoted to what we tend to call the "revenue sports," and except for this time of year right now, what that really means is D1 football.  But what about everybody else? There are literally hundreds of thousands of college athletes across the country who we tend not to hear from. There's this giant conversation happening around them, and they barely get a word in.  So listen up. They've got something to say, here on The Option from Cross Streets Media.  Guests featured (in order): Abbey Forbes: Tennis Player, UNC Chapel Hill Grant House: Swimmer, Arizona State Amanda Christovich: Reporter, Front Office Sports Jaime Gordon: CEO, American Volleyball Coaches Association Christine Brennan: Columnist, USA Today Victoria Jackson: Professor, Arizona State University Host: Michael HendricksProducers: Joe Engelbrekt & Dean MetherellCover Art: Sam Ball

    Episode 3: Hail Charlie

    Instead of a Hail Mary, it’s a Hail Charlie. Get it? Like the football play? Its namesake is the ambitious new head of the NCAA, a guy named Charlie Baker, whose most recent experience was running the state of Massachusetts. So, in that sense, it’s a heave alright. But now that Baker’s in the chair, he’s bringing some changes to college sports. A lot of changes, actually, and he’s still hoping on a whole lot more.  We’ll tell you all about ‘em, here on The Option from Cross Streets Media.  Guests featured (in order): Amy Perko: CEO, Knight Commission Matt Stout: Reporter, Boston Globe Blake Lawrence: CEO, Opendorse Ross Dellenger: Senior College Football Reporter, Yahoo!

    Episode 1: Amateur Hour

    The NCAA has four letters, three divisions, a thousand schools, and half a million student-athletes. It’s a lot. Too much, some say.    For as long as most of us have been alive, the organization’s been running the world of college sports. But that world is going through some changes right now.    More than ever, the ground is shifting beneath this pillar of bureaucracy. And, to their credit, the NCAA is starting to shift with it.    It’s a funny time to be covering college sports. “May you live in interesting times,” right? Well. Here we are.    This is The Option, from Cross Streets Media. For the next six episodes, we’ll try and explain these times, and what might be coming next. So sit down, stay a while.    Guests featured (in order): Jay Bilas: College Basketball Analyst, ESPN Jeffrey Kessler: Lead Attorney, NCAA v.
