January 31, 2024

Our last show of year 4 is a BIG one! The Covington women begin the show to speak about their upcoming event in conjunction with the National Girls & Women in Sports Day. Arlene shares her journey beginning about 50 years ago when women had limited opportunities to enjoy sports, and her daughters, Anya and Aaliyah, share insight into their careers, which included noteworthy careers at Edwardsville HS and at Wisconsin (Anya) and SLU (Aaliyah) for hoops. Next up, Kyle Anderson is in the studio to talk about one of the hottest topics in collegiate sports today--NIL. Anderson has founded a group which he believes will raise integral capital for the SIUE Men's Basketball program beginning next season. Anderson explains how his organization could be a key piece in helping the Cougars become competitive with the best teams in the country.
