Some folks are up in arms over college athletes getting paid, which I could understand better if those same folks had a problem with how much coaches are getting paid.

I had a nice back-and-forth this week with a reader about the money being committed to pay UVA Football and UVA Basketball student-athletes, and whether it’s Carla Williams’ job to try to save college sports from within.

Let’s discuss on the podcast.
