February 21, 2022 Gettign to Know Penn State's Drew Hildebrand
A back-to-back special today as I'm first joined by Cenzo and Real Woods for a half hour of Coffee Talk, getting to know and catching up with the 141lb NCAA Championship contender Real who just captured his 2nd Southern Scuffle title a few weeks ago. At the 28:30 mark, Drew Hildebrandt joins me for the second half of the show to talk about his move & transfer to Penn State and his recent debut as a Nittany Lion. Drew and I also talk about what's next, the relationship and dynamic with his sister, Olympic Bronze Medalist/World Silver Medalist Sarah Hildebrandt, who's helped him the most in the room, and more.

September 8, 2021 Duke's Jacob Kasper Just Made His WWE/NXT In-Ring Debut And It Was Awesome
One month before Covid wreaked havoc on the world, on February 18th, 2x NCAA All-American Jacob Kasper joined me on Episode 36 of BASCHAMANIA. We had planned on recording for an hour, as is typical, but ended up going an hour and 45 minutes. Why'd we go so long? A shared passion for the WWE. We talked at length about some of our favorite childhood memories, why he wanted to be a WWE superstar, and other random pro-wrestling related topics.

July 9, 2021 Agencies, Commercials, & Local Biz; NIL Continues!
Right on cue, the Name, Image and Likeness activity is picking up, as we're exactly one week since NIL went into effect and it's getting better by the day. As I had said both in a previous article, and on the BASCHAMANIA Podcast, deals take time to execute. When you have negotiating taking places, attorneys reviewing contracts, compliance departments reviewing deals and content being created, among other sponsorship activities, things just take time!

June 28, 2021 Ready or Not, NIL Is Happening Next Week
It’s happening. On July 1, many college wrestlers are going to be able to leverage their name, image, and likeness. But, until it rolls out (and probably even after), there are a lot of questions and speculations around the rollout. I’ve seen some of the guidelines for a few schools and there are components here that seem pretty universal, so I wanted to dive in and discuss at least those elements.
