| 0:00.0 | This week's podcast we will choose the winners and the losers of the college basketball scandal |
| 0:06.7 | Plus Nick Bosa walks away from Ohio State and will climate change raise beer prices? |
| 0:14.0 | Now we've got a scandal. |
| 0:16.0 | Welcome to the Yahoo Sports College Podcast. I am Dan Wetzel joined by Pete |
| 0:27.9 | Thamel, Pat 40 and here we are going to discuss again the big college basketball fraud trial in New York where I am right now. |
| 0:40.0 | We're going to get to Nick Bose and some other college football later, but we're going to start the show with the college basketball trial because what the hell why not? |
| 0:50.0 | Tuesday was the end of evidence. So this is the end of what we're getting on at least this of the first of the three trials. |
| 0:58.6 | And the big news was testimony, well was an evidentiary hearing where the defense was trying to get |

| 2:13.6 | And so, you know, it's a little tricky, but basically Code says he's asking for stuff. |
| 2:19.6 | I think he was probably talking about Zion Williams' father father but it might have been Zion Williamson. |
| 2:23.7 | I don't know, somebody is asking for something and basically he's saying Zion, to get Zion, you needed to |
| 2:31.5 | provide an occupational opportunity, cash in the pocket, and housing for the family. |
