Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In the wake of a string of scandals involving players, pro and collegiate sports are in the spotlight for their handling of bad—and even criminal—behavior. They’re finding it ever more difficult to sidestep thorny ethical and legal issues. And like university campuses, major sports leagues are navigating when and how their own disciplinary procedures intersect with the criminal justice system. We explore how high profile cases and public pressure could make players and franchises more accountable.

- Gabriel Feldman Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Sports Law Program, Tulane University Law School
