Summary

Jay Bilas won a National Championship when he played for Duke back in the 80s, and today he's one of the most outspoken critics of the NCAA - because they do not pay college athletes - while coaches make millions, and the industry makes billions.

In this episode, Ric and Jay talk about life outside of basketball - including his unique approach to parenting and the best advice he ever got from Coach K.
