Jason & Kirk discuss WNBA star Breanna Stewart and her wife, retired basketball player Marta Casademont, going to the NYPD to report an anonymous sender threatening the couple by sending homophobic emails wishing death on them. This is one of many complaints from WNBA players about an increase in threats that contained racist & homophobic slurs. We wrap this week with a discussion on the NCAA approving the elimination of the national letter of intent program. Michael Haddix, Jr., CEO & Co-Founder of Scout joins the show. Mike discusses his work, which combines financial education, wealth management, and tax preparation, specifically designed for college athletes. Helping athletes began for Mike when he saw his father, former NFL running back Michael Haddix, Sr.'s career end before he wanted it to. Following an 8-year career, Mike Sr. didn't know how to manage his money properly. Following an awe-inspiring college basketball career, Michael worked as an investment banker for Goldman Sachs. He then moved to Octagon and managed money for many well-known athletes including, Chris Paul, Steph Curry & Michael Phelps, among many others. Scout currently works with 12 athletic departments including UCLA, Iowa & Auburn. The athletes receive financial training sessions on campus year-round learning how to design a budget, set up recurring bank deposits, make investments, and put money aside for tax purposes. Scout also provides services to teach family members of the athletes as well.

Jason and Kirk begin with a discussion on Terrelle Pryor's lawsuit against Ohio State University, the NCAA & The BIG 10 for the using his name, image, and likeness while playing at OSU. Like Reggie Bush, former NCAA players are going to try & recoup some of the money they feel is owed to them. Bush & Pryor are the star names, but many college players are or will most likely file lawsuits. Kirk feels guys aren't suing for the money but because it is the right thing to do. The NCAA will have to address this. Discussion turns to the new lucrative deal signed by USC women's basketball star JuJu Watkins. The Nike deal gives her one of the richest shoe endorsement deals in women's basketball. The guys react to the news of Jets head coach Robert Saleh being fired after five games of the NFL season. The show ends with prayers to the folks impacted by Hurricane Milton and remembering Dikembe Mutombo who passed away last week.

Jason & Kirk discuss the WNBPA's statement against USA Today columnist Christine Brennan for her questioning of Connecticut Sun's star DiJonai Carrington following a nonfoul call involving Carrington & Caitlin Clark. The guys feel this isn't a question about Brennan's line of questioning, but it is just a continuation of the atmosphere surrounding the WNBA all season long. You can understand where both sides are coming from, but there can be different sensitivity and approaches to the situation. The discussion turns to an exchange between a reporter and Draymond Green at Warriors Media Day. The reporter could have asked his question differently and gotten an answer from Draymond that wouldn't have been so defensive. The subject of the question was a fair one to ask Dray. The show wraps with a discussion about a new book on the NBA Social Justice Coalition. The book is a series of essays from members of the NBA community. The coalition, formed in 2020, is composed of five active players, five team governors, Commissioner Silver, and Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum. The focus is on advocacy and public support for legislation to reform criminal justice, voting rights, policing, and community safety.
