Ep. 209: Name, Image, Likeness Jamboree

In this episode, Jessica Luther, Amira Rose Davis and Brenda Elsey break-down what is happening in the wake of college athletes finally being able to use their own name, image and likeness (NIL). They discuss what the new NIL rules have meant on the ground, what guidance (or lack thereof) academic institutions and the NCAA have provided and how racism, sexism and capitalism are already impacting who gets what. They also share their favorite NIL partnerships and who Burn It All Down would like to sponsor. Then, they preview Amira's interview with Dr. Courtney Cox about recent events impacting Black women in media, academia and sport. Next, they torch all that needs to be burned from this week. After the flames, the torchbearers rise, including Torchbearer of the Week Zaila Avant-garde, the 2021 Scripps Spelling Bee champion and Guinness World Records holder for various basketball tricks. They wrap up the show with what's good in their lives and what they are watching in sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.
