Matt Brown's 'Extra Points' newsletter reflects on 'The Price of College Football' conversation
Ohio State alum Matt Brown, creator of the Extra Points newsletter, comment on his recent experience as part of "The Price of College Football" conversation held March 21:
Last Friday, I had the privilege of participating in a discussion with The Ohio State University Sports and Society Initiative on “The Price of College Football.” This wide-raging conversation, featuring Armen Keteyian (an award winning reporter who co-wrote The Price: What it Takes to Win in College Football's Era of Chaos"), Andy Schwarz (the college sports economist who helped launch NIL in California) and Mark Pantoni (Ohio State football GM and longtime industry-leading player personnel figure), covered everything from conference realignment to how roster management has changed over the various stages of the NIL era, to the House Settlement, and more.
Ohio State produced a video of the entire event, which you can watch here if you’d like.
While our conversation touched on just about all of the main questions in the “where is college sports going?” type conversations, I came away from the event thinking even more than one of the very biggest questions, at the campus level, is going to be how everybody engages with direct athlete payments in the House era.
