    • FRIDAY SPORTS TALK | Navigating the Chaos of NIL in College Football
      Feb 20 2026

      In this episode of the 2nd installment of "Friday Sports Talk", Cartwright and Bo dive deep into the evolving landscape of college football, particularly focusing on the impact of the transfer portal and NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals. They discuss how the transfer portal has changed the dynamics of college sports, with over 10,000 players entering it, and highlights the challenges many face in finding new opportunities. They reflect on the implications of this shift, noting a sense of disillusionment and entitlement among young athletes, and how the influx of money from NIL deals complicates the situation further. They emphasize the need for a balance between financial opportunities and the development of character and discipline in young athletes.
