Sophia and V are once again schooled by Davin on the court...the
actual court, though, and not physically on it, and really it's other people
that got schooled...but you get it! They talk about how a certain UConn
athlete (!!!) accidentally revealed the truth of how student athletes were
compensated (or not), and how things have changed since then. The
connection between this kind of exploitation and past exploitations is
shown clearly for the audience, and everyone is left wondering how we
fix something so monumentally broken.

Finally, Davin gets to tell a story! He fills the other co-hosts in on the
story of the exploitation of NCAA athletes, prior to the push for
some of them unionizing. He describes the conditions that led up to
that movement, showing how the league continuously profited off
of them, while denying them any chance at making money from
their work.
Also, two announcements:
Tragically, Andrew has left the podcast, and so Davin and Sophia
must search for a new third. In this episode, they try out a new co
host, V., in this episode.
AND the Patreon now has new tiers, which feature some actual
merch! Stickers and shirts! Please subscribe and rate the show if
you like where it's going!
