There may be few “businesses” less understood these days than the business of college sports. Following the landmark House settlement, college sports are rapidly shifting from an amateur model to a more professionalized landscape, driven in large part by Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) rights, the transfer portal and revenue sharing between schools and athletes. Hear from leading journalists covering this fast-moving industry as they talk collectives, massive paydays, conference realignments, salary caps, tv rights deals, scholarships, Title IX, the relevance of the NCAA and all the other things business reporters need to understand if they want to cover this multi-billion dollar industry. 

This panel is in partnership with ESPN.
