2022 Episode 12: Mark Emmert Leaves A Mess Behind

Dr. Rob is clean-shaven, for now! During the month of May, he will be growing a mustache to raise money for Mustaches for Kids! It may sound a bit absurd but this charity has raised over $4.7 million for various charities that benefit kids since 2009. This year the money raised is going to Kids Can and Child Saving Institute. You can help Dr. Rob get to the top of the leaderboard by donating to his campaign, just click HERE. We will be giving growth updates periodically on Twitter.

Lots to cover and lots to drink in the latest edition of the Doc Talk Podcast. We know a lot of you are sick and tired of us talking about NIL which is now really just pay for play. The NCAA is now considering action against teams that a blatantly breaking the rules and setting standards for NIL moving forward. But is now the time to do it? NCAA President Mark Emmert announced he was stepping down. Under the leadership of Emmert, the NCAA in our opinion and that of many others has been a complete joke! Should the NCAA wait for a new President to take action or should it reign in what is currently out of control? 

Nebraska gets slapped on the hand by the NCAA. Really? We have players getting million-dollar deals and fancy cars and it seems more concerned with giving Scott Frost a one-year show cause because an analyst did some “coaching”? The absurdity is frustrating and comical at the same time.

Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice also talk about the recent transfer portal addition for the Huskers. There is a lot of hype, but can the players live up to it?  Really, only time will tell.

We drink a couple of different beers in this edition. Some from South Dakota and some from Wisconsin. Thanks to our loyal listeners for sending us these fine brews. If you think we are missing out on something good to drink, let us know!
