PSA: Ownership of the matcha mini app was transferred to the official @matchaxyz account, so you will no longer see my username as the author. This is totally normal, it’s the same mini app. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, ignore the above, but check out below 🙂 https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/Ow9w157pag34/matcha

First heard of his podcast from his recent teardown of Bill Ackman's pro debut. Great takes, and clearly matured from his playing days. I'll be tuning in more.

Best thing to come out of Lewis’s move to Ferrari is that photoshoot in front of Enzo’s house.

Respectfully disagree, that generalization is reality. You really think 50% of athletes think they have a legitimate chance of making it as a pro athlete? We’re not talking about a kid’s dream here. By the time you’re finishing high school it’s pretty clear who remotely has the potential to make it at the highest level, especially in sports where the financial incentives are highest.

Effort isn’t a measure of deserving. Athletes in every sport work hard yet the benefits have always been around the money. Athletes make those sacrifices to be at the top of their craft, not for some future financial benefit, otherwise there would be nobody playing the less popular sports. Universities are meant for education, and many succeed without top sports programs.

Agree the problem isnwith universities ultimstely, but seems like the position is it’s fine what they have been doing and will continue to do (in worse fashion now that floodgates have been opened) because now a small percentage of athletes can also benefit from it. Which will only continue to exacerbate the problem. imo not agreeing with student athletes getting paid-to-play is not an anti-student athlete stance.

The reason there isn’t a successful minor league for football is because of college football. Over 50% of the money is going to mens football and basketball, and the median across all sports is less than 500$ for d1 athletes. The actually valuable names in these sports are in fact athletes that will go on to the pros. These other athletes with a social media presence frankly aren’t getting deals based off of their athletic prowess, yet their popularity is boosted by the notoriety of the schools they attend. Meanwhile tuition goes up higher, and normal students take on more and more burden to pursue higher education.

Strong disagree. Hundreds of thousands in free tuition, lodging, books, private tutors, food, clothes, transportation. I can go on. “On their backs” is wild turn of phrase. They’re amateur athletes, at least were. This is why minor leagues exist. Universities just don’t want to give up the money, but it doesn’t make it right.

NIL is pay-to-play. Has been since day one. Meanwhile normal students take on tens of thousands in debt to go to the same school, to actually get a degree. I refuse to watch college football.
