The New Rules of College Sports

In today’s episode, I sit down with coach, author, and Penn State board member Jay Paterno to talk about the pressure, politics, and possibilities shaping the future of college athletics. We break down how NIL deals, revenue sharing, and media money are forcing universities to rethink what it means to support student-athletes—especially those outside of football and basketball. Jay shares personal stories from life on and off the field, including how mental health, identity, and leadership are being reshaped in real time. We talk about the impact of Title IX, the lessons passed down from his father Joe Paterno, and why building a team matters more than ever.
