Definitely a childhood team for me, but that's faded as an adult (mostly from covering baseball, but also just not being as into the sport as a casual fan)
Insanely massive business. I agree it can be hard to remember that when just enjoying the sports or thinking about it on a more granular level, and it's my whole job to think about it!
Great - I want more!
Also, Go Phils!
Really enjoyed this, Jesse! Hoping to see some JD coverage of the NCAA's new policy change re: transathletes!
Thanks, Lilah! You're the best. And yes, definitely brainstorming ways to cover that more. Very important story.
Just don't start open openly rooting for the Phillies.

You forget how much money the NCAA represents. These suits are a sober reminder.

Surprised to not see you mention the ongoing Pingatore v NCAA suit for retired NCAA intramural flag football participants
Crazy world we live in!
Will feature that in The Lawsuits Pt. 1,239, if I'm still writing then. It's on the schedule!
