Why college football’s biggest battles are now political

On this week’s episode of Tying it Together, host Tim Boyum talks with Matt Brown from Extra Points. 

As the college football season heats up, we are talking about the politics of college athletics, from NIL and conference realignment to even video games. Will politicians intervene? 

We tackle it all with the founder and publisher of Extra Points, which tackles all things college sports off the field.
