Links to the podcast have been in other threads but I think it deserves its own. Lightfoot and Teahan are fun. It's great. I thought McCullar was a bit too... well trained? Like, talking like they're taught to talk to media, not really saying anything. Maybe it's because he never played with those guys. But everyone else has been awesome.
One of the takeaways I've had - they ask everyone about NIL, and it has been all guys who played at least some before NIL. Sounds like they really weren't getting paid previously. I mention that because it seems like the prevailing thought is "they were always getting paid, but now it's legal". After listening to these podcasts, I no longer think that

I don’t think a lot of dudes were paid but some were. That’s why the NCAA got all pissed at us.

My guess is that no one is going to fess up to breaking the rules on record. If we have learned one thing it is that the NCAA is petty AF and will take that statement and come after you and the team you played for at the time.
