Summary

Chase Parham is joined by Blue Delta Jeans operating partner Tyler Sutliff for a wide-ranging conversation on artificial intelligence, business strategy and the future of college sports. Sutliff explains how a simple attempt to navigate European train schedules led him into an obsession with AI and why he believes the technology represents the biggest business shift since the early internet era. The discussion covers practical uses for tools like ChatGPT and Claude, concerns about overreliance on AI, how businesses are already using it to save money and improve efficiency, and why most college athletic departments are still far behind where they could be. Chase and Tyler also dive into the future of AI in scouting, analytics and player evaluation, including how baseball programs could use predictive modeling for pitch sequencing and game strategy. Plus, they discuss the balance between automation and authenticity, fears about job displacement, and why people who learn AI now will have a major advantage moving forward.

Blue Delta again, 2018, 2019. I remember when you first got involved, you and I went to dinner at snack bar with Nick Weaver, and that's the first time that I met you. You probably do not remember that dinner. But I absolutely remember it. Do you? Okay. I did remember it. Yeah. It's been a bit of a go. We've had a pandemic and things like that. And we've also had AI in that instance as well. But you've got a neat story because you
