What should Louisville basketball, football fans expect from programs?

[ASFN Admin]

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show, taped on location in Indianapolis at the Final Four, features newly inducted U.S. Basketball Writers Association Hall of Famer Luke DeCock.

DeCock, whose work can now be read at HoopsHQ, explains why "work-study" should replace the framing of players as "employees" to help bring some structure to college sports through collective bargaining. He discusses why Louisville shouldn't expect to be a top-25 football team every year, but should absolutely expect to in basketball. He also tells why he is reserving judgment for another season on if Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope can handle the spotlight in Lexington.

A new episode of this podcast, hosted by Courier Journal sports columnist C.L. Brown, posts each Wednesday. You can listen to The C.L. Brown Show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast, Audible, CastBox and iHeartRadio, among others.
