This is Sarah Stewart Holland.

And this is Beth Silverers.

You're listening to Pantsuit Politics.

And today we're joining the Madness.

March Madness is in full swing,

and we're coming to a topic that we've wanted to discuss for a while, and that is the Wild West

that the Supreme Court created by deciding that the NCAA had violated antitrust law.

When the Supreme Court issued that decision, it flipped the tables on a massive scale for student athletes and colleges and universities, businesses in college towns, agents, and fans.

Now we have this whole new world of the transfer portal and NIL deals, and we're going to get into all of that today.

Since we're living through our real table flipping period, taking a look at what has transpired since that

Supreme Court decision has offered me some real perspective on our capacity to adapt to uncertainty

when the status quo is suddenly changed without any real planning for what happens next.

It seems relevant.

Outside of politics, we're going to go on a bit of a journey as well.

That journey begins with some conversation about the Vomit Squad at Universal Studios

theme park, but I think it's going to get more interesting from there, so I hope that you will hang with us.

Now, we are still following the fallout from the signal controversy affecting the Trump administration.

We are also very concerned about the taking of Ramisa Ozturk

and the administration's continued aggression towards students here on visas.

We're talking about all that on our bonus episode on Substack,

so you can go check that out.
