  1. March Madness: NIL, Transfer Portals, and the Commercialization of College Sports Sarah & Beth 51:17

Last year, the Supreme Court changed college sports. Sarah and Beth are taking in the field (no pun intended) to see how the ruling has changed the amateur athletic landscape and how it continues to shift. They discuss NIL (name, image, likeness), transfer portals, and the continued commercialization of the amateur space.

Pantsuit Politics is a podcast for real conversations that help us understand politics, democracy, and the news - while still treating each other like thoughtful human beings. We take a different approach to the news; our political analysis blends hard facts with important social and cultural undercurrents so you don’t miss the big picture. Over years of discussing everything from abortion to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we established basic rules of engagement, which we describe in our books, Now What? How to Move Forward When We’re Divided (About Basically Everything) (2022) and I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening): A Guide to Grace-Filled Political Conversation (2019). Listeners describe us as “America’s political therapists” and “our trusted, smarter friends who can help us make sense of the world.”
