A good listen if you haven't yet....but what stuck out is good lord I wish they had tailored athletes schedules like he described when I was there. Sounded like a few online classes and the entire day is centered around the ballpark. NCAA is really becoming the professional minor leagues. The days of being on campus for 12 or more hours of classes per semester as an athlete are long gone.

Summarizing what he said his typical day was:

Wake up, go up to the ball park around 10 am to get something to eat, a little work with trainers, go back home for some rest and maybe a little school work, back to the ballpark early afternoon to hit before practice, practice, eat and head back home. The days of spending mornings in classes before practice are a thing of the past. I was born in the wrong decade lmao.

This is exactly what college athletics is today. The days of "student athletes" is long gone. Basically it's professional minor league sports we're watching.

ETA: and the sips are outspending everyone in every sport to pay for their professional athletes and coaches.
