#63 The NIL Arms Race

September 14, 2026·37 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Antitrust birthed the arms race of name, image, and likeness money pouring into Division 1 athletics. Now college football has spiraled into a widening gap between haves and have nots, where NIL offers (supposedly distinct from pay-for-play) are driving athletes who have played professionally to try to return to college to play sports for a fifth year. Professor Michael McCann, professor at Harvard Law School and columnist for Sportico and Sports Illustrated, joins host Anant Raut and guest co-host Courtney Armour to discuss the flow of money into college athletics and what it means for amateurism in college sports. With special guest: Michael McCann, Professor, Franklin Pierce School of Law Hosted by: Anant Raut and Courtney Armour
