This is a great conversation.
I spoke with an administrator recently who raised the same point around the long-term mental health implications of the current system.

Keith lived it and continues to be a major part of the game - listen to him! #GoDawgs
I'll be putting out content on the business of college sports, the opportunity for private capital, and the broader insights I've gathered over the last few years as an entrepreneur.
