Beyond Reason W/ Gage Dansby

In this episode I talk about the NHL playoffs, including the unbelievable run by the Vegas Golden Knights, who have the potential to win the Stanley Cup in their first year of existence. Additionally, I talk over what teams to look out for and my concerns about the NBA playoffs, including the ignoring of one of basketball’s most fundamental rules that threatens the entire league: traveling.

This week’s episode covers the episode of UFC fighter Conor McGregor’s rampage on the UFC 223 media presser, why he did it and how it could mark an end for his career in the UFC. I also touch on the tragedy of the bus crash involving the players of the Humbolt Broncos Jr. league hockey team, and current standings/predictions on The Master’s.

On this episode I talk about Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica scandal and explain how major tech companies invade privacy all of the time. As the Silicon Valley saying goes, if you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product. Additionally, I touch on the crisis at Howard University and it’s financial aid office, where a student worker and various faculty conned students out of more than $435,000 in financial aid.

Today I recap the NCAA tournament, including all of the upsets that no one saw coming, specifically UMBC taking down Virginia, making them the first 16 seed to ever beat a 1 seed in tournament history.

Final preparation for March Madness, arguably the best time of the year in sports and how the ongoing NCAA corruption scandal might impact viewership. The time of year for new music for the spring/summer is upon us, Xbox brings back it’s hideous “Duke” controller that debuted in 2001, and the Cleveland Browns making trades left & right, causing me to speculate that they might be doing too much in too little time.

In this episode I talk about the payment corruption scandal that is currently sweeping the college basketball world. The FBI is involved and says that the contents of the investigation could only change college basketball, but the entire NCAA and it’s student athletes. I give a breakdown of how this whole thing started, my interpretations on the investigation (including a rant on how I think the NCAA is completely corrupt), and what might the future entail for college athletics. Spoiler alert: it involves the end of the NCAA altogether.
