Jay Bilas joins Greg Olsen for a timely conversation about the rapidly changing landscape of college athletics.Following the Senate’s passage of the Protect College Sports Act, Bilas explains what the legislation could mean for athletes, schools and the NCAA, and why he believes college sports doesn’t need to be “saved.”Greg and Jay debate athlete compensation, the transfer portal, multi-year contracts, coaching buyouts, collective bargaining and whether the so-called “Wild West” of college sports is really as chaotic as it looks.They also look beyond football and basketball to the changing experience for athletes in Olympic and non-revenue sports, the challenge of developing players in a transfer-heavy environment, and why playing sports should be about far more than reaching the next level.
