The NAACP launched a campaign urging Black athletes and consumers to boycott public universities in states accused of limiting Black voting representation, but Joy Taylor believes the conversation is more complicated than people want to admit.
In this solo episode, Joy breaks down the economic reality behind college athletics, NIL money, generational wealth, and why asking young athletes to sacrifice life-changing opportunities comes with real consequences.
