#172: Miami NIL Haters - You're Not As Smart As Your Dad

We open with congratulations to American Heritage for winning the 4A state baseball title this week. Everyone also loves the new Orange Bowl Babies that debuted on social media this week, even though they got Scoop in trouble with his wife. 

As we get down to Greentree, everyone has thoughts about David Pollack saying he wouldn't spend $2 million on an Offensive Lineman, which Roman feels is a "homer" take because Georgia missed out on Jackson Cantwell. That spins us down the rabbit hole of how to get the most out of an NIL deal and how you can prevent these guys from taking the money and moving on after a year. Plus more talk about how Mario has developed the recruitment game in the NIL era and why he has excelled at bringing in top Offensive lineman and, in turn, top quarterback transfers.

A user on X also asked ChatGTP to predict the 2025 Miami Hurricanes, and while all the outcomes are all positives the possibilities are borderline ridiculous... and all of us would 100% take that season. And an interesting quote from Manny Diaz (having nothing to do with Miami) about how kids today aren't as invested in your school's history as the fans are. Of course we also come around to the NHL Playoffs as we dance on the graves of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

This week's Wheel of Topics starts with the wild New Orleans prison break story, the Department of Homeland Security's proposal for a game show where immigrants can compete to fast track their citizenship, and the DoorDash driver who got so lost he ended up on the tarmac of O'Hare Airport in Chicago. And as always we close out with a round of Five Questions, which this week includes the worst thing we've ever been told by a teacher, a song that takes us back in time to a good moment in our lives, the most recognizable brand name, the worst cities we've ever visited, and a word or phrase we find cringy. 

And we get a surprise visit from Toast's nephew Dylan Dubovik, part of the American Heritage state championship team and a young man who's committed to the U!!
