At a time when Justices Thomas & Sotomayor probably couldn’t agree on the color of the ocean or if birds could fly, the Supreme Court agreed one one thing unanimously: the NCAA’s rules limiting certain kinds of compensation violate antitrust laws. As Justice Kavanaugh put it, “The NCAA is not above the law.”

After discussing Brook Forde’s ascension to the US Olympic swimming team & a game of Where in America is Producer Sully, Pat, Pete & Dan analyze the judicial flood gates opened up by this major SCOTUS ruling.

Later in the show, they discuss NCAA president Mark Emmert’s name, image and likeness memo on the eve of a July 1st legal train-wreck & outgoing Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott’s comments about the 12-team playoff expansion.

The guys close out, as they often do, in the animal world, reporting on the latest from the mouse plague in southeastern Australia.
