Episode 3: Hail Charlie

The Option Podcast

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.
