Frequent contributor Matthew McLaughlin and I dig into this prescient documentary as college athletics, NIL, and sports gambling become more and more integrated. Will the past be an ever-present part of the future of college athletics or will the lessons learned by these athletes help future students avoid the same mistakes?

Oh, and the documentary is amazing and follows the Goodfellas characters in real life as the Lufthansa Heist intersected with one of the biggest point-shaving scandals in sports history.
