For decades, the NCAA did not allow its student athletes to earn money, despite the millions of dollars it rakes in annually. That’s all changing following a ruling by the U.S Supreme Court in June that opened the door for student athletes to earn money on their name, image and likeness (NIL). Locally, the verdict is even impacting high school athletics, as Southlake Carroll quarterback Quinn Ewers — widely regarded as the top prep football prospect in the country – has announced he will forgo his senior season to enroll early at Ohio State in order to capitalize on NIL opportunities. Dallas native Stephen Howard, a former NBA player and broadcaster for ESPN, and former Dallas Mavericks star Cedric Ceballos join the show to share their perspectives on how college sports may never be the same again.
