Phantom IslandWhy do some WNBA rookies get cut almost immediately?In most professional leagues, rookies are prized possessions that can help teams effectively manage the salary cap, develop talent for the future, and show their superiority in scouting.

Who Killed College Football?Suspect Number 5: Coaches & AgentsFrom its earliest days, college football has had a tense relationship with players and money. But it wasn’t until the market for coaches started exploding that the gulf between what coaches earn and what players cannot really started to look outlandish. Agents, of course, helped usher the age of absurdity in, by winning contract terms that gave their clients more and more, even if they weren’t successful. As their pay skyrocketed, coaches were mostly silent about structural issues popping up in the sport, and for good reason: the status quo was entirely too good to overturn.2024-11-151h 10

Who Killed College Football?Suspect Number 4: The NFLOnce upon a time, the NFL shaped its Draft policies (and date) around not angering college football. The power and popularity of The Shield have increased dramatically over the last four or five decades, but the league spent many of those years keeping underclassmen out as a default, and it took years of pressure from players like Barry Sanders, Cris Carter, and Herschel Walker to eventually open up a pro pathway for juniors.

Who Killed College Football?Suspect Number 3: The NCAAThe NCAA spent the better part of 70 years stamping out threats to amateurism wherever they could find them. From big scandals to seemingly minor violations, the Association was there to defend the idea that college football shouldn’t be about money, at least for the players. For a while, the courts, media, and public opinion all backed them up. But as the riches in the sport grew, the NCAA became something of a comic villain, and when the time came for college football’s relationship with labor to evolve, the NCAA never seemed ready to lead the charge.Producer: Mich...2024-10-241h 09

Who Killed College Football?Suspect Number 2: ConferencesConferences didn’t used to be where all the bargaining power resided in college football, and their concerns used to be exceedingly local.

Who Killed College Football?Suspect Number 1: TelevisionCollege football’s rise as a valuable TV product is still relatively new. For decades, the sport either couldn’t be televised or was limited at a national level. But once that market opened up, networks moved fast to get more of everything – more games, more bowls, more playoffs. They’re not just broadcast partners either. These companies have found a way to acquire partial ownership of college football, becoming business partners with conferences. Thanks to television, it’s easier than ever to watch almost every game at the FBS level. It’s also a lot harder to tell what that le...2024-09-261h 05

The sport remains incredibly popular, entertaining, and, at least for certain segments, financially lucrative.But the college football you used to know?

CinementalCinemental_061 - w/Howard Chaykin - "MyMan Godfrey/Nothing Sacred"This week on Cinemental, our guest is the often imitated but never equaled or surpassed, writer, artist and legend, Howard Chaykin. He brings to our attention to discuss two classics from the 30s starring the lost entirely too soon Carole Lombard, First up, "My Man Godfrey" and amazing touchstone with the great William Powell. Secondly, we discuss "Nothing Sacred", a movie with a great story, but with a male lead that lacks the same chemistry as Powell/Lombard, who at one time were married IRL.
