This week we speak to one of the leading critics of revenue-producing college sports, journalist Patrick Hruby. Hruby goes into detail about the Big 10’s decision to proceed with the college football season after deciding not to.

We also have Choice Words about the incredible marriage of WNBA legend Maya Moore and Jonathan Irons. In addition, we have Just Stand Up and Just Sit Down awards to the Seattle Seahawks/Atlantic Falcons for their symbolic statement during kickoff and the video producers at NFL Films. All this and more on this week’s show!
