Summary
Dartmouth MBB voted to unionize on Tuesday, but what does it mean for collegiate athletics? Nicole and Chris share in a long conversation about the next steps in athlete employment.

Later, the two exchange thoughts on Arch Manning opting out of NCAA FB 25; the new Early Signing Day; and more. Plus, our Seth Emerson wrote a story about donor fatigue in the sport, and why hasn't the ACC jumped to ratify the 14-team model?
