Options For Elite Teenage Ballers Growing Lucrative (Podcast)

NBA agent Happy Walters joins Eben Novy-Williams, Michael Barr and Mike Lynch to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the growing trend of elite high school players eschewing the NCAA for more lucrative pro offers. RJ Hampton, one of Walters's clients, chose to play in New Zealand last year and made over $1 million in salary and sponsorships. Co-founder and CEO of Catalyst Sports & Media, Walters also talks about the financial impacts of this suspended NBA season. That includes a reduced salary cap, and discussions about possibly spreading out that damage over multiple seasons.Hosts: Eben Novy-Williams and Michael BarrSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
