Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul — Season 1, Episode 45: Is Men’s College Basketball Back? Lakers Buying In, and JSN Gets the Bag.

Episode synopsis

Max and Rich are back from their train ride to watch March Madness in San Diego, and we get their thoughts on if NIL is bringing men’s college basketball back (6:10). Does it have a ripple effect on the NBA’s product and future expansion? The Lakers are rolling; would we have seen this months ago if the entire squad was healthy throughout the year (34:14)? Also, Jaxon Smith-Njigba becomes the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history (52:48)! How does the market reset as the years go by? Rich gives his take on how those negotiations go from the representation side. All this, plus another round of viewer emails!
