In this episode, Nathan speaks with Jay M. Smith and Ted Tatos about the various academic/athletic scandals that have beset the University of North Carolina and what they reveal about the NCAA system more broadly. Jay M. Smith is Professor of History at the University of North Carolina. He is the author of four books, including most recently, with Mary Willingham, Cheated: The UNC Scandal, the Education of Athletes, and the Future of Big-Time College Sports. Ted Tatos is a testifying expert and consultant with EconONE Research specializing in quantitative economic analysis and antitrust and former Director of Empirical Analytics in the Department of Economics at the University of Utah, where he continues to teach as an adjunct professor. He is also Associate Economics Editor of The Antitrust Bulletin.
You can find Ted's co-authored scholarly study on ADHD/LD diagnoses of UNC athletes here and The Athletic's reporting on the subject here. A recent column of Ted's on harm to college athletes at The American Prospect is here. The letter Jay, Nathan, and Derek signed calling for further disclosure by NCAA institutions of ADHD/LD data in response to Ted's work is here.
