First and 16 Podcast - Big 12 College Football and College Basketball · Jul 3, 2026 · 1m

NIL has officially been around for five years which feels like just yesterday, while also feeling like an eternity ago. The NCAA and College Sports have changed forever and every team and player in the Big 12 Conference has been affected. This episode goes into what led to NIL, where it went wrong, and how it is doing well. I also shoutout BYU for a great visit.
