A three-course sports feast: NCAA women’s hoops, NWSL free agency, & NFL updates
Happy Thanksgiving eve eve!
With American Thanksgiving just around the corner, today’s episode of The GIST of It is serving up a three-course feast of sports news. Co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz start off with the latest from a chaotic first two weeks of the NCAA women’s basketball season.
Then for part two, the gals kick it to the pitch to roundup the latest women’s soccer news, USWNT roster drop and NWSL free agency included.
And finally, head into the NFL’s Thanksgiving Day slate with everything you need to know about what’s truly been a topsy-turvy football season so far. Thankful, next.
Happy Tiny Friday!
In honor of the NWSL recently striking a new four-year, $240 million media rights deal a few days ahead of this past weekend’s championship action, co-hosts Ellen and Steph dig into the importance of that deal, and also zoom out to discuss the sports media landscape at large.

NIL, NCAA unionization, & the labor of college sports…oh my!
Happy Tuesday!
Grab your backpack and your business suit, because today’s episode of The GIST of It is all about the business of college sports. Co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz start with a quick explainer of pro sports’ labor practices before going back to school to dig through the history and current landscape of labor in NCAA sports.
Then after the break, El and Steph parse through name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals and how they’re influencing college athletes’ decisions to go pro, all before chatting through what’s next in the wild, wild West of today’s NCAA. Sharpen those pencils.
