Two Friends and a Final Four
For their day jobs, two long-time friends are professors, studying and teaching the business of sport. But that’s not what this podcast is about. This is about the emotions, joy, energy and livelihood that women’s basketball fandom has opened up for us as friends and humans. Join in on our fandom as we chronicle our journey to the 2025 NCAA Women’s Final Four in Tampa, FL.
