Big-Time College Sports: The Reckoning

Art Thiel, author of 3 books, operator of a digital sports community website Sportspress Northwest, longtime sports columnist at the late Seattle PI, and well-known radio sports commentator, will offer his take on the implications for the US Supreme Court decision granting college athletes the right to receive compensation for use of their names, images, and likenesses from third parties, independent of school budgets. 

Some states created rules to help their big programs: many did not.  Some athletes may earn six-figure incomes;  many will not.  The century-long scam of amateurism in big-time athletics is over.  Hear Art interpret what these changes mean both for the athletes and the big business of major college sports.
