Summary

Brad was on the show just 4 months ago in early August, and returns for an update on the SWARM Collective. With the Hawks recent pick up of Cade McNamara in the transfer portal, people are starting to realize the effect that the collective can have. Brad dives into details about Cade, how much the Swarm had made, how far they have to go to be competitive, and where they rank in the Big 10. He also discusses some of the bigger struggles they have run into like hang ups within the Athletic Department, behind the scenes logistics, and more. We also talk in general about the landscape of NIL, what the rules are if any at all, who is enforcing those rules, and what the current crazy 'free agency' landscape of the transfer portal could do to college sports.
