Player pay, transfers put college sports in new territory

Season 2026 Episode 1 | 6m 38s

New Year’s Day has long been synonymous with college football bowl games, but it’s also a key week for the future of those teams. Starting Friday, the window opens for players to transfer, part of what some have called a “wild west” in college sports. Lisa Desjardins discussed the reshaping of college sports and what it means for athletes with Stewart Mandel.
