Private equity is moving deeper into college sports, and universities are being offered an irresistible deal: take a lot of money now and give up part of tomorrow’s revenue.On this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ looks at the rapidly changing economics of college athletics, including multimillion-dollar coaches, direct athlete compensation, private-equity investment, expensive credit lines, television revenue, sports betting, and what happens when universities start operating more like financial companies than schools.Also in the episode: the controversy surrounding John Galliano and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the difference between legitimate criticism and actual antisemitism, J.D. Vance, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes, New York City’s restrictions on student use of AI, Massachusetts Democrats sticking with older incumbents, and new concerns surrounding long-term melatonin use.Subscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for political commentary, news analysis, media criticism, technology, culture, and current events without the usual talking points.#FilteredWithTJWalker #TJWalker #CollegeSports #PrivateEquity #CollegeFootball #NCAA #HigherEducation #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #JohnGalliano #Antisemitism #JDVance #TuckerCarlson #NickFuentes #EdMarkey #Melatonin #Politics #NewsFiltered with TJ Walker, TJ Walker, private equity college sports, college sports private equity, college football, NCAA, college athletics, university athletics, college athlete pay, NIL, college football money, sports betting, higher education, private equity, Wall Street, John Galliano, Metropolitan Museum of Art, antisemitism, JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, NYC AI ban, AI in schools, artificial intelligence education, Ed Markey, Massachusetts primary, melatonin, insomnia, political commentary, news analysis
