Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political analysis, personal anecdotes, and listener engagement, anchored by Buck Sexton as Clay Travis remains on vacation. This hour opens with a heartfelt story about Buck’s Australian Labradoodle, highlighting the emotional intelligence of dogs and their ability to comfort during illness—a relatable and touching segment for pet lovers. The conversation quickly pivots to pressing political issues, with a deep dive into the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill.” Buck critiques the limitations of executive power, the partisan nature of judicial opposition to President Donald Trump, and the structural challenges in Congress that hinder meaningful fiscal reform. He emphasizes the urgency of addressing the national debt, warning of a looming fiscal crisis if entitlement and automatic spending remain untouched. Key political figures are featured prominently in this hour. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson voices his support for raising the debt ceiling only if it includes significant spending cuts and a return to pre-pandemic budget levels. Buck also references insights from Stephen Miller, who outlines the bill’s major components: historic welfare and tax reforms, aggressive energy exploration, and strong border security measures—all while aiming to reduce the deficit. However, Buck remains skeptical, noting that even with these reforms, the scale of the national debt ($36–37 trillion) and annual deficits over $1 trillion pose serious long-term risks. Listener calls add depth to the discussion, with one caller arguing that Trump should have pursued smaller, targeted bills to force Democrats into clear voting positions. Buck defends Trump’s strategy as pragmatic, given the current congressional makeup and procedural constraints like the Senate’s Byrd Rule, which limits what can be included in reconciliation bills. The hour also features an interview with Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, who discusses the Senate’s role in shaping the bill, his concerns about lingering Green New Deal subsidies, and his upcoming run for governor of Alabama. Tuberville stresses the need for fiscal discipline, entitlement reform, and a balanced approach to energy policy. He also touches on the challenges of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) in college sports, advocating for structured contracts and loyalty in collegiate athletics. The segment closes with more listener stories, including a powerful account of a dog detecting a woman’s breast cancer before diagnosis—reinforcing the earlier theme of animal intuition and emotional support.

Former College Basketball players who should not have entered tonight’s NBA Draft

The NBA Draft kicks off tonight, and many former college basketball players will hear their name called and receive a multi-year contract with a significant signing bonus. But in the age of NIL, the determination of whether it’s worth leaving college to enter the draft is a bit more complicated.
The NCAA to NBA pipeline has changed rapidly over the last few decades. The traditional, typical journey included playing multiple years in college before entering the NBA Draft (aside from high school phenoms like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant). But as high school basketball improved, college basketball was introduced to the “1-and-done” freshmen.
As the discussion over whether colleges were exploiting athletes intensified, “developmental leagues” such as Overtime Elite and G League Ignite were born. Both leagues were able to recruit top talent in recent years, including Jalen Green, Dyson Daniels, Ron Holland, Scoot Henderson, Alex Sarr, and Rob Dillingham (pre-Kentucky).
And then the landscape changed even more drastically: the NIL era began. College players could now profit off of their name, image, and likeness, which effectively ended the G League Ignite and diminished Overtime Elite.
The “1-and-done” culture is still prevalent for the freshmen who are guaranteed lottery picks, but we’ve started to see more and more stud freshmen opt to stay in college for another year. Auburn’s Tahaad Pettiford opted to return despite getting 1st round NBA Draft looks, while Boogie Fland opted to transfer to Florida instead of taking his chances with the draft.
Fland’s compensation was reportedly worth over $2 million, which makes it quite comparable to expected NBA draft compensation for the back of the 1st round. After Pick 24, all annual salaries are below $3 million.
All this being said, let’s take a look at a few NBA prospects who could have benefitted from another year in college. Based on the latest nbadraft.net Mock Draft, here are a few players who had remaining college eligibility:
- Drake Powell: Freshman, North Carolina (projected #27)
- Danny Wolf: Junior, Michigan (projected #31)
- RJ Luis: Junior, St. John’s (projected #47)
All three of these guys left top college programs, all of which have reloaded for this upcoming season. Per 247 Sports, St John’s and Michigan have the top 2 ranked transfer class hauls in the nation, while UNC has the 7th best overall class (HS recruits + transfers).
If Powell, Wolf, or Luis returned to their respective programs, they would arguably become the favorites to cut down the nets next March. And more importantly, all three universities would’ve had the NIL funds to compensate them handsomely.

Report: NCAA denied LSU baseball players walkup songs by Kanye West at College World Series
Two LSU baseball players ran into issues at the College World Series after requesting to play walkup songs by artist Kanye West.

Two LSU baseball players ran into issues at the College World Series after requesting to play walkup songs by artist Kanye West. According to Jacques Doucet of WAFB-TV, outfielder Derek Curiel was told he had to play the instrumental version of “God Is” from West’s album “Jesus is King” rather than the one with lyrics.
Similarly, pitcher Kade Anderson was denied the chance to play “All of the Lights” from West’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” album as his walk-out song. Curiel expressed his dismay that he was not allowed to play the song he wanted.
“I’m a little upset that the NCAA didn’t allow that song to be played,” he said. “They only played the instrumental version. They didn’t let the words play. But it’s OK. ‘God is everything that has breath. Praise the Lord.’ That’s a verse in the bible and I just wanted everyone to know. You worship Chris and that’s what I’m here to do and I want people to know me as the guy who plays baseball who loves Jesus.”
Initially, Curiel was not sure whether his song choice was denied because of the artist or because of its religious content. But Doucet later confirmed through his sources that it was due to West being the artist.
Of course, Kanye West has found himself at the center of controversy numerous times in recent years. The rapper has promoted antisemitic views both on social media and in his music and businesses. Although he grew a large fan base in the early 2000s through his music, his recent behavior has resulted in several of his former fans choosing to no longer support him.
That perhaps can explain the reasoning behind the decision from those in charge at the College World Series not to allow LSU players to play Kanye West’s music. Either way, it didn’t seem to affect them all that much on the field as they reeled off back-to-back victories against Coastal Carolina to claim the national championship.
That included a 5-3 victory on Sunday to finish things off in which Curiel tied for the team lead with two RBI. As he said, he isn’t all that worried about not getting the song he wanted for his walkup, and he’ll surely take a trophy over that any day. But it still certainly makes for an interesting story given all the attention on West of late.

NIL and transfers irk Ron DeSantis, who yearns for the glory days of college sports in Florida

Name, image and likeness (NIL) compensation and the transfer portal in major college sports continue to perturb Florida’s Governor.
During comments at the University of South Florida College of Medicine in Tampa, Gov. Ron DeSantis reminisced about the way it used to be during the golden era of college football in Florida.
“It’s tough. I mean, with NIL and transferring and all this stuff,” DeSantis lamented. “It used to just be … all the Florida schools just kind of lock and load, (during) the ’80s and ’90s, even beyond that when you had the Urban Meyer years in Florida. And then it’s like, you know, particularly in the last five or 10 years, so much is going on. There’s a lot of moving parts.”
The Governor has called attention to the increased professionalization of amateur sports in recent years, including saying in 2024 that he wanted to work with other Governors to develop a regulatory “framework” because Congress wouldn’t do it.
DeSantis has griped about student athletes having too much leverage and about Florida programs in recent months on numerous occasions.

“I think this whole NIL may need some guardrails, and the transferring has gotten out of hand. You know, transferring once? Fine, you shouldn’t have to sit out. But to just treat it like a free agency where you don’t know who’s going to come back each year, I think that’s diluted college sports,” he said during other remarks in 2024.
“You get paid for name, image and likeness and stuff, which we supported in Florida. If people are going to make money off you, like, whatever,” DeSantis said in Waukee, Iowa, during his failed presidential campaign.
“But now it’s like, they sit out the bowl games and they do all this other stuff. … We’ve got to do something about that. I don’t know if that’s the right thing.”

NASSAU, The Bahamas – An amazing destination resort greets a standout collection of women’s basketball teams when Baha Mar plays host to the 2025 Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship, Monday, Nov. 24 and Wednesday, Nov. 26 at the Baha Mar Convention, Arts & Entertainment Center. Veteran sports promoter bdG Sports announced seven teams scheduled to participate in the eight-team field Wednesday.
Confirmed teams set to compete include Alabama, Belmont, Harvard, Minnesota, Ohio State, South Florida and West Virginia. All seven of the squads announced Wednesday advanced to postseason play a year ago, including five that appeared in the NCAA Tournament.
Once the final team is added, the event will feature two separate, four-team divisions resulting in two champions being crowned. Matchups and game times will be announced later. All games will be streamed.
“We are excited and proud to showcase a top-tier brand of hoops in the Bahamas once again as we continue to grow and expand women’s basketball and our events,” college basketball analyst and event contributor Debbie Antonelli said. “I’m known for saying, ‘The Product is the Narrative’ because we create opportunities to compete and the players and coaches deliver. Teams are returning because they trust bdG Sports to deliver another first-class event in an incredible destination location, and rest assured, it will be entertaining given the quality of competition!”
Alabama (24-9 in 2024-25) made its third consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament under head coach Kristy Curry a year ago. The Crimson Tide’s historic season included multiple program milestones, among them, a listing in the Associated Press poll in all but two weeks of the season (with its highest ranking of No. 18).
Belmont head coach Bart Brooks helped guide the Bruins (26-13) to a runner-up finish in the Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament (WBIT) en route to program’s 10th consecutive 20-plus win season in 2024-25. Enjoying its deepest national postseason run in school history last season, Belmont has won seven national postseason games over the last five years.
Under head coach Carrie Moore, Harvard (24-5) notched arguably its best season in program history in 2024-25, earning its most wins in school history, claiming its first Ivy League Tournament title and appearing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 18 years.
Head coach Dawn Plitzuweit’s Minnesota (25-11) squad capped the 2024-25 campaign, winning the Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament.
Ohio State (26-7) made its fourth consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2024-25, hosting games as a top-16 seed for the third consecutive season. Kevin McGuff’s Buckeyes finished the season ranked No. 19 nationally and have won at least 25 games in each season since the pandemic.
USF (23-11) capped the 2024-25 season with its 10th NCAA Tournament appearance under head coach Jose Fernandez, in his 25th season. The Bulls went 13-4 in conference play and secured their fourth league title by winning the 2025 American Athletic Conference Tournament, defeating Tulane, North Texas, and Rice on three consecutive days. The campaign marked Coach Fernandez’s 14th straight 19-win season and 12th 20-win season.
West Virginia (25-8) made its third straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament last season. WVU advanced to the tournament’s second round for the second straight season a year ago and has posted back-to-back 25-win seasons under head coach Mark Kellogg. The Mountaineers ended the season ranked No. 21 in the nation.
Alabama (2022), Ohio State (2023) and USF (2021) are making return trips to Baha Mar after previously competing in the Pink Flamingo Championship when it featured a non-bracketed format.
Eventual national champion UConn and regional finalist LSU each won its separate four-team divisions of the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship last season.

SCHSL adjusts NIL policy to comply with state budget – The Island News – Beaufort, SC

More than 40 states allow “name, image and likeness” deals in high school athletics
By Shaun Chornorbroff
SCDailyGazette.com
COLUMBIA — South Carolina’s governing body for high school sports altered its bylaws this week to ensure it can keep functioning amid legislators’ efforts to ban “name, image and likeness” deals for pre-college student athletes.
The approved new wording in the South Carolina High School League’s bylaws says students “may not earn compensation” for their sport.
The bylaws previously said students “may earn compensation” as long as it’s not tied to their athletic performance and does not involve school or league logos, to include an incentive to enroll at a certain school.
It wasn’t meant to be a policy for or against NIL, and the slight shift in wording doesn’t change that, said league Commissioner Jerome Singleton.
Rather, the phrase is part of the rule that students must maintain amateur status, meaning they can’t be paid for playing a sport. The previous wording reflects the league’s inability to control anything beyond sports, he said.
It still can’t. But the league wanted to make clear it was not condoning NIL deals after the Legislature inserted a clause in the state budget banning public school districts from joining any athletic association that permitted, allowed or authorized such compensation.
State Sen. Sean Bennett, who authored the budget clause, said it was absolutely directed at the High School League, an independent, dues-paying organization that sets and oversees the competition rules for participating middle and high schools.
“I hope everybody involved with high school athletics realizes they are extracurricular activities, and they are no place for the ugliness or business activities ruining college athletics,” Bennett, R-Summerville, told the S.C. Daily Gazette.
The league’s executive committee unanimously approved the wording Tuesday, two weeks from the ban taking effect with the July 1 start of the fiscal year. The overwhelming majority of the league’s more than 400 members are public schools that potentially faced not being able to participate in league-organized athletics in the coming school year.
Singleton said the altered wording changes nothing in terms of the rule’s intent.
If a student uses school or league logos or clothing as part of an endorsement deal, or receives money for their participation, they are still violating the league’s amateur policy, he said.
Punishment on a first offense is a warning. The second time it’s a one-year suspension from High School League competition. Each additional violation would result in at least another one-year suspension, with the exact period of ineligibility “based on the nature of the violations.”
“From the very beginning … the league does not support NIL for athletic purposes. That’s the only authority we have the right to reject,” Singleton said. “You can change the wording, but you can’t change the intent.”
In total, more than 40 states allow NIL deals for high schoolers, according to Opendorse, an athlete marketing firm.
NIL is only one example of how changes in college sports, where it’s become routine for players to transfer to another school and receive large paydays, have seeped into high school athletics.
In March, the league changed its longstanding transfer policy to allow student-athletes one penalty-free transfer.
When the NCAA first permitted personal branding and sponsorship deals in 2021, it provided few guidelines, leaving lawmakers around the country grappling with how to handle them.
South Carolina legislators initially responded by simply suspending state law prohibiting the deals. Then last year, the head coaches of Clemson and South Carolina’s football programs asked legislators for clarity with a bill allowing them to represent student athletes. After getting briefly held up by a gun debate, the bill became law in May 2024.
It was approved as a way to help students navigate contracts and not get swindled. But legislators still didn’t like the idea of NIL deals. Senators who complain the transfers and million-dollar payouts have ruined college sports include Bennett.
The avid Gamecocks fan vowed to keep it out of high school sports.
The league’s prior wording wasn’t strong enough: Giving NIL “a wink or a nod certainly invites it,” he said.
Recent examples of high-dollar influence in college include an $8 million offer for South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers to leave the Gamecocks, according to an article published Monday by the Athletic. The offer depended on him playing for two more years for the unnamed school, his father told the publication. Sellers, however, declined. He’s staying in Columbia.
Scott Earley, president of the South Carolina Coaches Association, said he’s against high school athletes getting paid, though he says it is happening.
The league is doing all it can to control the influence of money in high school sports in South Carolina, he said.
Singleton said the league can’t legally do anything more.
During an interview with the S.C. Daily Gazette, he used the example of a musical prodigy who happened to be a high school softball player.
If somebody wants to offer that athlete a contract to play the violin, the High School League has no right to stop it, he said.
“If you aren’t using the intellectual property of the school, which is the name, the mascot or the logo, why can’t you be an accomplished violinist who is playing on a team?” Singleton asked rhetorically.
Bill Carter, the head of Student-Athlete Insights, an NIL consulting firm that has worked with many high schools, colleges and high school athletic associations, called the proviso “pretty extreme.”
“The other states don’t get into very aggressive language of what they are going to fund,” he said.
Carter said it could also lead to a legal challenge.
Should that happen, recent examples signal courts will side with the youth.
“It’s the playbook that’s been run from the NCAA on down,” Carter said. “What we’ve learned is that the courts are never going to accept there’s an impediment to a young person’s ability … to earn income by way of their name, image and likeness.”
In 2021, the Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that said the NCAA’s restrictions on providing non-monetary compensation for academics, like free laptops or paid post-grad internships, violated antitrust laws. That decision paved the way for NIL.
Earlier this month a judge approved a settlement that ended three separate antitrust lawsuits against the NCAA, allowing schools to spread $20.5 million, a figure that will grow annually, to its athletes.
And last year in North Carolina, a judge sided with a star quarterback when his mother sued the state Board of Education on his behalf, making it so high schoolers in the Tar Heel State could profit from NIL.
“The court says, ‘You are overreaching your authorization or jurisdiction that would allow their young person’s right to earn income,’” Carter said.
Rep. Jackie “Coach” Hayes, a member of the House budget-writing committee, led his teams to seven state championships during his nearly 30 years as the Dillon Wildcats’ football coach.
Prior to coaching, he played high school football, as well as baseball and running track. He’s among the contingent against NIL in high school sports.
“If you pay them in high school, they are going to worry about how many times they run the ball, how many catches they get or how many touchdown passes,” Hayes told the S.C. Daily Gazette. “We got enough ‘me’ in this world. We need to get everybody working together for a common cause.”
As for the league’s wording change, Bennett said Friday he hasn’t had a chance to review it yet.
However, “as long as the High School League is acknowledging we shouldn’t be participating in this mess,” he’s satisfied that it’s meeting the intention of the budget clause he proposed.
And the possibility of a lawsuit doesn’t surprise him: “Anything done from a regulatory standpoint invites a legal challenge.”
But he said that can’t deter lawmakers from making policy in the best interest of the state and children. “Sometimes you just have to take a stand,” he said.
