The End of Sports Illustrated
Episode description
This week's podcast episode kicks off with a discussion of Sports Illustrated's sudden shutdown as Emory Marketing Professor Mike Lewis explores what factors have contributed to the once esteemed brand's downfall.
While on the topic of downfalls, Professor Lewis discusses the Alabama Crimson Tide transfer portal fire sale that took place this week and how programs like Texas and Ohio State are taking advantage of the NCAA's loose NIL policies to capitalize.
We conclude the podcast with discussion of topics ranging from Jason Kelce's Buffalo fandom moment to the now infamous Caitlin Clark court storming.
