The winds of change are blowing in college sports. The $2.8B lawsuit settlement House v.

Mr. Barkley goes to Washington. But before he visited the White House yesterday to celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles 2025 Super Bowl win, superstar running back Saquon Barkley spent some one-on-one time with President Donald Trump, raising the eyebrows of many football fans — especially after his Super Bowl MVP teammate Jalen Hurts didn’t make the trip at all. On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz share their reactions to Barkley’s surprising afternoon with the polarizing president and add crucial context to the recent history of championship teams visiting 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Football is always top of mind. Show notes: She’s Not Next, She’s Now capsule collection More on The GIST: ☎️ Leave us a voicemail!
