Reggie Bush’s Heisman trophy, Larry Nassar settlements & a 2024 NFL Draft preview

Hello!

Content warning: Today’s episode contains mention of sexual assault and abuse.

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz round up some major mid-week headlines in a three-part deep dive. First up, El and Steph discuss football star Reggie Bush’s historic Heisman Trophy reinstatement and what it says about the transforming college sports landscape.

Then in part two, the gals discuss the multimillion dollar Department of Justice settlement reached this week for the survivors of disgraced Team USA gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, a settlement stemming from the FBI’s negligence.

And to round it out, El and Steph kick it back to the football field for an NFL Draft preview before the first names are called on Thursday night.

Thank you to Aflac for supporting today’s episode! Just like The GIST tackles the gap in women’s sports coverage, Aflac closes the gap that health insurance leaves behind. Learn more at aflac.com.
