In this edition of The Gold and Blue Nation Podcast, presented by Pritt & Spano, former congressman Tom McMillen answers that question.

McMillen, a former NBA big man and NCAA All-American, is the CEO of Lead1 Association, which represents athletic directors at 131 FBS schools. He explains why Baker is a rising "star" in the industry, and also shares his thoughts on NIL, the transfer portal and more.
