Yeah, so what's going to happen, Deb, is that starting as early as July, schools will pay their athletes around $20 million annually as part of what's being framed as a revenue-sharing deal. This is not salaries, which would kick in all sorts of other implications, right? So I guess the question here is who's going to get the money? Football and basketball, they're the biggest revenue generators.

She's definitely got a shot. She's won a Grand Slam before. In fact, she beat Sabalenka the one time that they met in a Grand Slam final. But a lot of experts around tennis are putting their money on Sabalenka. You know, I spoke to a coach this week who coached the last American woman to reach a French final, Sloane Stevens. His name is Kamau Murray, and he told me that Sabalenka has the hot hand.
