Will and James talk chances of transfer rule passing and rehash The New Mexican’s athlete of the year picks

The biggest sporting event in the world is nearly upon us, but it’s of little concern to Santa Fe New Mexican sports writers Will Webber and James Barron. Although it’s summer and prep sports are on hiatus, there’s plenty going on locally to keep them occupied. In the latest episode of “The Sports Den” podcast, the guys address some of the feedback they got for their prep athlete of the year picks and discuss the proposal before the New Mexico Activities Association that could allow a “free” one-time transfer for high school athletes. James says the change isn’t a foregone conclusion and talks about the odds of it passing. In the second segment, touch a bit on the World Cup before getting into a bit of Santa Fe Fuego talk. Will also provides an update on what’s been going on with the University of New Mexico football and men’s basketball teams.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
