Episode: Part 1 of a 3 Part Series on Sports and Money: NIL and Money in Women’s Sports
Description: The Pesci brothers begin with a conversation about the progression of Name, Image, and Likeness in college sports. Sponsors pay athletes and count on them to stay healthy while endorsing their brands. At least one of the big deals has been impacted by an athlete that has been hurt and another by sub-standard play. At the same time, women have fewer deals and too many of the female athletes are being objectified in the ads. Finally, the brothers talk about the disparity in pay between male and female professional athletes. The men make way more, way more!
