Guest: Andy Schwarz, Sports Economist

/r/CFB Talk 54: Andy Schwarz isn't just any economist, he is arguably one of the most responsible for organizing college athlete publicity rights into its current state of existence, having masterminded California's first-in-the-nation NIL bill that set the dominoes in motion as a co-sponsor with State Sen. Nancy Skinner. His views on the current state of affairs in that realm are refreshingly honest. We're going to use this talk as an opportunity to talk about how NIL developed, what the intentions were by those who crafted it, where we are now in that space, and what the future might (or ought to) hold for student athletes. He also created the board game "Envelopes of Cash," which we also discuss! First broadcast on 08/03/2022 on @RedditCFB, the official account for /r/CFB, the home of college football on Reddit!
