In this episode, we discuss how discredited ideas about college sport amateurism shaped the April 8, 2025 U.S. House Committee on the Education and the Workforce Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions hearing entitled The NLRB, Student-Athletes, and the Future of College Sports. We explore the implications of continuing to perpetuate the underlying assumptions and mythologies that have formed the basis for an exploitative system that harms college athletes economically, educationally, physically, and psychologically. Along the way, we get into the problematic way in which Title IX is used to preserve the status quo instead of challenging the power structure that suppresses the value of all college athletes.
Host: Dr. Ellen Staurowsky
Guest: Dr. Richard Southall, Professor in the Department of Sport and Entertainment Management and Director of the College Sport Research Institute at the University of South Carolina
