The Final Four goes down this weekend. The North Carolina, Villanova, Syracuse and Oklahoma players may not know it, but they would have the best opportunity to send a message to the NCAA about the inequality of not paying players as the association is in the midst of a 14-year $10.8 BILLION dollar deal with CBS and Turner. They could withhold their services and send the NCAA into a tailspin. It’ll never happen, but it would be easy for 60 individuals to become heroes for the plight of the slave labor “student-athlete”.
Today’s Five Things Are
• Could There Ever Be a Final Four Boycott?
• The Warriors Will Break the 72-Wins Record
• The D’Angelo Russell-Swaggy P Drama
• USWNT Players Sue for Equal Pay
• Crazy Ass NASCAR Story

The Andy Carlson Show is a 5-day a week podcast that talks Sport…. And Other Stuff. The brainchild of the loser behind the Purple FTW! Podcast (dedicated to the pain AND pleasure that is the Minnesota Vikings), the Dad Mode Podcast (common sense parenting in a politically correct world), as well as fondly remembered shows like Andy Must Di, Football Convos with Andy Carlson and the Claire vs Carlson Show. Andy’s an avid fan of TV, movies, pop culture and just laughing and making fun of things in general. He unfortunately supports the Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, Gophers and is slowly starting to get into hockey and the Wild. Andy’s also a clean foods advocate and flirting with the idea of veganism. Which makes him…. UNBEARABLE to be around in social settings. Whatever happens in the future, know that he’ll probably be behind a microphone and being a jackass about it. Thanks for stopping in and giving the show a listen.
