Seeing as we were joined by prolific sports and political journalist Patrick Hruby, we decided to dive into several significant topics. After spending about the first half hour forecasting what 2021 might look like for NCAA athletics — including what a conservative 6-3 edge Supreme Court implies could happen in the "amateurism" cases — we move to discussing Hruby's research on negative outcomes for black coaches in the NFL. We recorded this conversation weeks before the EA Sports relaunch announcement in early February. Interestingly, however, we steer the conversation toward the Ed O'Bannon case and the video game company's decision to settle with the players for $40 million almost a decade ago. Look for that part of the conversation around 33:00. Want to help us grow Suits and Sidelines? Please share our podcast with three of your most interesting friends or connections. Already done that?
