In this episode, we break down how college programs can incorporate UTR Sports into their program to create new revenue opportunities, engage their community, and provide more opportunities for their players.

Fascinating conversation here with Sam in regards to the recent ruling about student-athletes who enrolled in 2022. What does this ruling mean? What does the future hold?
