## Resource

College sports cards used to be an afterthought. Now one of the most successful tech investors in sports has acquired a company built around college athletes—and that could signal a major shift in where sports fandom and collecting begin. In this episode, we break down what the acquisition means for NIL, athlete branding, college fandom, and the future of sports cards.
