Summary

Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander are back from Las Vegas, and they start by addressing why LaVar Ball commands so much media attention -- and why what he did in Las Vegas warranted coverage. Beyond that, the two recap their Vegas experience, including anecdotes from coaches, on what made 2017 different. From there, they get into the mess at Western Kentucky, and detail an arrest with a Dayton player, who got drunk and arrested -- and subsequently beat up in his jail cell.
