Episode 161: Academic Exploitation in College Sport

In this episode, Nathan is joined by Max Jordan Nguemeni to discuss all the ways in which college athletes are denied the academic experience they are promised as a wage in exchange for their campus athletic work. We work through the themes explored in the chapter on this topic in Nathan and Derek's new book The End of College Football: On the Human Cost of an All-American Game, drawing on Max's experiences tutoring athletes at Georgia Tech and Nathan's time teaching at Duke.  Max Jordan Nguemeni is Assistant Professor and Doctor of Internal Medicine at UCLA and author of the Substack column Adverse Reaction.
