Summary
This hour, Newell is joined by David Meltzer, former CEO of Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment, to reveal the biggest NIL mistakes student-athletes and parents are making, why follower count isn't everything, and what you must know before signing on the dotted line. Then, New Orleans Inspector General Ed Michel joins the show to discuss a new report on oversight failures in the city’s youth sports programs, including team finances, volunteer coach background checks, and playground safety.
