In this episode, I'm joined by Gary Veron, Associate Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Experience at BYU.
BYU has been very proactive in its approach to name, image and likeness, so I invited Gary on to discuss what's going on in Provo. We dive into:
- How Gary's position morphed from compliance to an NIL focus
- Why BYU took a more proactive approach toward NIL right off the bat
- The overwhelming response from Provo and alum to NIL
- Why BYU has seen so many team-wide and group NIL deals
- How the story of the BYU athlete is different
- The course the athletic department created around NIL
- The Shark Tank-style competition they hosted for student athletes
- What student athletes have said they want more education on
- The role public speaking has played in NIL
- How collectives are impacting NIL and recruiting
- The letter of inquiry they received from the NCAA'

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
