College athletes are being exploited while those around them get rich and U.S. Senator Chris Murphy is on the case! He joins the podcast this week to talk about his new report, Madness, Inc.: How Everyone Is Getting Rich Off College Sports — Except The Players, a detailed accounting of how much money is flowing through college sports and where it’s going (hint: not to the folks in the uniforms).
🚨 THREAD: It’s time for the #NCAA to find a way to compensate student-athletes. College football & basketball have become a multi-billion dollar industry and everyone is cashing in except the players who are doing the work.

We also discuss the origins of the senator’s UConn fandom, getting endorsed by Jim Calhoun, walking across Connecticut and much much more.
Runtime is around 34 minutes and features Russ but absolutely no profanity.
