Dear Formerly Credentialed: Conspiracy Theories, Our Favorite Brands, Corporate ADs, and Cats That Fetch

This week on the podcast. We’ve made it to episode 20 and we kick off the podcast with a new segment called "Dear Formerly Credentialed" where we read listener submissions from the sports industry community (3:00). We shout out Middle Tennessee State for their common-sense approach to football uniforms and have a get-off-of-my-lawn-old-man conversation about the absurdity of ruining brands, sometimes well-established brands, all in the name of recruiting and frivolous spending (10:53). We then go on-and-on about two of our favorite brands, Chick-fil-A (22:35) and Buc-ee’s (38:31), and Barca is Up To His Ears about whether current athletic directors are equipped to handle today’s world of college athletics (29:16).And just when you think you’ve heard it all, we hear about Boggs’ cat’s very doglike skillset (47:22).This episode was produced and written by Brandon Barca and Andy Boggs.Find us on all of the socials at NLCPod.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NLCPodX: https://x.com/nlcpodLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/nlcpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nlcpodTikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@nlcpod
