Whats the big deal about intramurals? Having played a few different intramural sports, I began ask: Why does everyone compete so hard? Why is this so important?

We had a lengthy conversation about the world of Collegiate Recreation and the importance of providing recreational opportunities for college students on (and off) campus.

I wonder what Babe Ruth and Stan Musial would think of the MLB today... Do we think they would be proud of where the league is right now?

Season 1 Recap - A Years Worth of Stories

Thank you for listening to a FULL YEAR of SportStories The Podcast. The journey has been challenging over this last year. We transitioned from audio-only to providing video and also underwent a branding change. The podcast initially began as "Rebuilding the Ivory Tower: Perspectives on Sport in Society", whew. Realizing now, this name was WAY too long. Also, nobody knows what the "ivory Tower" is and what am I "rebuilding"? Given these concerns, I changed the platform to SportStories The Podcast, with the goal of sharing unique stories that we have with Sports. I hope you enjoy the recap of this years' episodes! Stay tuned for some great episodes in Season 2. [Disclaimer: The opinions in this episode are of my own accord and DO NOT reflect the opinions of any respective organization or institution.]
