The conversation was flowing up until the NIL segment. This country is a capitalist society. Everything co$t. Players at the college level have long been payed to play. Doing it under the guise now of NIL is owed. In a backpay sort of effort. Thousands of players that wasn’t the number one options put in massive amounts of sweat equity. Using actual blood, sweat and tears. Also their time, effort and taxing mental stability. The NCAA has exploited many college players and didn’t get paid to win. They got paid to look competent and compete. College athletes make (hand over fist) money for the billion dollar NCAA. College programs get sponsored by big shoe, clothing and energy drink companies. And it’s finally got trickled down to the college student athletes/labor. Great pod, guest and conversation. Hoping to see you chop it up with Ed Cota and Joe Forte in the near future. Checking in from the Westbank of New Orleans.

I love listening to the show. Being 14, I love learning about the different ways to get to my dreams. You should get Vance Honeycutt on the show, a former UNC baseball player and a future MLB player

These pods are getting better each time.

Funny, insightful. My go-to. I’m always recommending this to anyone remotely interested in basketball. Regardless, stay for Theo’s nonsense… he’s hilarious.

Theo polar bear pinson Come to the spurs brah

The sports podcast I didn’t know I needed, and it’s even better that it’s hosted by one of my former fav Tar Heels.

Theo is hilarious, a hooper and NC Alum. Gotta love Theo! It’s a cool look inside the little stuff that happens that we’d never know about. MFFL

Absolutely love it! Theo was born to hoop and make people laugh, what a way for him to do both.

Really love Theo’s interviews, he has great chemistry with his guests and is able to get them to tell intriguing stories about their journeys. Every episode you get a greater appreciation for what it takes to make it to the league and the mentality these players have

Love listening to the stories you two share. Keep up the good work.

Great job Theo! Love the realness of this podcast. Keep up the good work!

Excited to listen in! Keep going fellas
