Recapping Super Bowl LVIII & college women’s basketball’s original record-holders
Happy Galentine’s Day!
With Super Bowl LVIII officially in the rearview, today’s episode of The GIST of It begins with everything that happened at the NFL’s biggest party. Co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz dig through the gridiron action, the unforgettable halftime show, and the business side of the big game.
Then after the break, the gals Euro step to the college hardwood, where No. 4 Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark is just eight points away from breaking the NCAA women’s career scoring record. But two original trailblazers in the women’s game, Lynette Woodard and Pearl Moore, actually own the Division I and all-time records, respectively — and today, El and Steph give them their well-deserved flowers.

But first, the gals unpack this week’s bombshell ruling impacting the NCAA. On Monday, a National Labor Relations Board director ruled that Dartmouth’s men’s basketball team are school employees, essentially demolishing the NCAA’s amateurism model and opening the door to even more challenges across the country. El and Steph dig through how it all went down, what it means, and what it could spell for the future of college athletics.
