This week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show features ESPN basketball analyst Debbie Antonelli to discuss women's basketball and the future of the game.

Antonelli, who also calls Indiana Fever games, talks about the impact of Caitlin Clark. She tells why she's been saying for 15 years that the NCAA women's basketball tournament should hold the entire Sweet 16 in Las Vegas. And why a go-to player emerging for Louisville women's basketball may ultimately determine its success.

The C.L. Show Brown Show

ESPN's Debbie Antonelli talks about Caitlin Clark's generational impact

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Ben Portnoy, a college sports reporter for Fox Sports.

Portnoy tells why he isn't surprised by Louisville football's loss to Wake Forest, given the track record of UofL coach Jeff Brohm after big wins. But Brohm's history is also why he's not ready to count the Cardinals out of the ACC race. Their remaining conference schedule is one of the reasons why Portnoy still picks the Cards as the team to eventually challenge Miami in the ACC championship game.

Portnoy also gives an update on what's next for the Protect College Sports Act as it has passed the U.S. Senate and now moves on to the House of Representatives.

Hear about all of that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show.

Why UofL football is still well-positioned to reach ACC title game

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features attorney Michael Elkins, founder of MLE Law Firm, to discuss the Protect College Sports Act, including its flaws and the potential impact if it's passed into law.

Elkins believes the PCSA is essentially an attempt to bail the NCAA out of a mess the organization itself created. He details how it's a one-sided piece of legislation that, if passed, will "wind the clock back" on athletes and restrict their ability to earn in a free marketplace. College athletes will be the most impacted by the bill, yet, as Elkins explains, they have had far too little input into the shaping the legislation that could potentially remake the future of college sports.

Elkins also believes if the bill is defeated — and he thinks it will die in the U.S. House of Representatives — that moving forward, schools will become much more likely to enforce their contracts with athletes.

Hear about all of that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show.

Why Protect College Sports Act would negatively affect NCAA athletes

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Louisville football linebacker Stanquan Clark to discuss the Cardinals' showdown with No. 16 SMU on Saturday.

Clark was on the sideline when the Mustangs beat the Cards 2024, then he was sidelined with an injury when they lost last season in Dallas. He explains how facing SMU's up-tempo offense forced UofL's defense to completely overhaul the way they communicated. The Cards will put that to the test against SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings, who Clark said reminds him of playing against Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss in Week 1.

Clark, a Miami native who was recruited by former UofL coach Scott Satterfield, also tells why he's remained loyal to Louisville and stayed for four years.
