Episode Notes

In the newest episode of the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Podcast, hosts Chris Dortch—editor and publisher of Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook—and Kevin Ingram—the radio voice of Vanderbilt men’s basketball—discuss a variety of college basketball (and other) topics:

• The NCAA has decided against expanding the NCAA Tournament field—for now. Good news, but expansion appears inevitable.

• Shoe deals, raising season-ticket prices, and booting media out of primo seating locations as schools hustle to increase revenue in the NIL era.

• Kevin, who broadcast the first-ever event on the SEC Network, talks about the differences between calling soccer and basketball.

• Blue Ribbon’s “soft opening” is up and running. Pre-order the 45th edition of the college basketball “bible” at blueribbonyearbook.com.
