Welcome back to the latest edition of the Audible presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Bruce Feldman, joined as always, presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Bruce Feldman, joined, as always, by my colleague, Stuart Mandel.

Stu, in a little bit, we're going to be joined by an old colleague of ours, Mike McCann,

who's really one of the foremost authorities on legal analysis, especially as it relates to the sports world.

And there's a lot of stuff for us to get to with him in the wake of last week's 9-0 court ruling against the NCAA.

place. It was just good to be. This is my first business trip since before the pandemic. It was

there and then a president from each of the conferences.

Kevin Warren's been the Big Ten commissioner for a year and a half.

This is the first time I've met him.

Not a lot went on newswise.

Kind of anticlimactic, to be honest.
