🚨 Major shake-up in college sports! Cougar Collective’s Tim Brandle returns to break down the massive House v. NCAA $2.8B settlement and what it means for Washington State University and college athletics as a whole.

In this exclusive interview, we cover:

What the House settlement actually means for NIL and athlete compensation 💰

How WSU plans to work with the Cougar Collective, not replace it

The role of the new NIL clearinghouse and how contracts will be evaluated

Why WSU is unlikely to go down the private equity path (like other schools 👀)

What this means for Olympic sports, international athletes, and Title IX

And why beer and community still matter in Pullman 🍻

Whether you're a diehard Coug, a college sports fan, or just trying to understand where this new NIL era is headed, this conversation is a must-watch. 🎥
