How Texas Tech’s Million-Dollar Transfer Changes NIL Landscape | Will Compton on Barstool Exit and New Show

Behind the pitching of its $1 million transfer NiJaree Canady, Texas Tech softball ended the powerhouse Oklahoma Sooners’ season Monday night. FOS reporter Amanda Christovich joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington on FOS Today to explain the NIL arms race and how the House v. NCAA settlement could throw a wrench in it.

Plus, Bussin’ With the Boys co-creator and host Will Compton explains his decision to leave Barstool for FanDuel, why it makes sense for some NFL players to retire early, and how his new podcast For the Dads came to life.

 

FOST also examines the importance of baseball managers and roasts the Orlando Magic’s new logo.
