Hi, I'm Monica Nicholsberg.

And I'm Joshua McNichols.

We host KUOW's Economy Podcast, Booming.

On the latest episode, you might have noticed college athletes are doing a lot more commercials on Instagram lately.

And for doing this work, some athletes are raking in big bucks.

So who should profit from college sports?

Listen to Booming on the KUOW app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, good morning.

I'm Patricia Murphy.

It's Wednesday.

This is Seattle now. There's a food fight heating up at Seattle Public Schools. More of a lunch fight, really. High school students are upset about a new district policy that will split lunch into two periods.

With a new lunch schedule, a lot of the teachers that we want to talk to during lunch aren't going to be available because they'll be teaching another class while we have lunch. So, yeah, that's annoying.

In a minute, we'll hear from students and talk with Seattle Times Education reporter Claire Bryant.

But first, let's get you caught up.

If you're headed to Bellevue from Seattle or Mercer Island this month, prepare for delays.

Washdot says eastbound I-90 will be down to three lanes and 45 miles an hour starting Thursday night.

It'll jam things up until Sunday, October 5th, as crews work to replace the expansion joint on the floating bridge.

Heads up, Seattle Parks and Recreation is warning. Watch out for dive bombing owls. The notice

came after a reported owl attack at Lincoln Park. Apparently the shortening days of fall

make these attacks more common. Seattle Parks recommends staying alert in the early morning and at

night, keep your head covered and move along if you hear hooting and wave your arms if an owl

does swoop. And you've got five days left to get to the Washington State Fair in Puehallup.
