Does Dusty May's move to the NBA signal another new era in college sports?

Author: The Athletic June 25, 2026 Duration: 47:48
Dusty May just won an NCAA title at Michigan and has been in the Final Four in two of the last four seasons. He was on a trajectory to be one of the all-time coaches at the college level. And then, deep into June and on the eve the NBA Draft, he left Michigan to become the new head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. Is this a sign of things to come in not only college basketball, but also college football? Ralph Russo and Justin Williams discuss that—plus Brendan Sorsby and the mailbag—on this episode of The Audible.
