Episode 43: Nicole Auerbach On Conference Realignment, The Future Of The NCAA, And The Barbie Movie

The college sports world is in absolute turmoil as seemingly every day another school is announced to be moving from one conference to another. Just this week we found out Colorado will be jumping to the Big 12, rumors are swirling of the potential for Clemson and Florida State to leave the ACC, and the Pac 12 is falling apart before our very eyes. Nicole Auerbach from The Athletic joins Mark in the Chicago office to break down all the changes taking place in front of us, forecast what the future of the NCAA might look like, plus talk her upbringing as a college sports fan, the Barbie movie, Michigan vs Ohio State, and more. Afterwards Mark and TJ talk sports memorabilia, movie theaters, phone cases, and more. 

Nicole Auerbach covers college football and college basketball for The Athletic. She also serves as a studio analyst for the Big Ten Network and a radio host for SiriusXM. Before joining The Athletic, she covered college football and college basketball for USA Today.
