About this episode

Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the U.S. Olympic Committee's moving to revoke USA Gymnastics' status as the governing body for the sport at the Olympic level. It's a move that comes in response to an organization that has seemingly botched its own restructuring after the Larry Nassar sex abuse scandal. Also talked about is NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's concern that teams are spending too much money as they chase a championship, and players from the National Hockey League's Ottawa Senators caught on tape criticizing the team's coach during an Uber ride.
