| 6/20/26 |  The NBA Finals | Depending on who you are, this was the greatest NBA Finals in recent memory, which seems like most of the country and every celebrity out there...or if you are from San Antonio, then not so much. This could easily have been the Spurs year except for one thing: The Knicks, who just seemed to want it more, and the City of New York who really seemed to need it. In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani take a look at the 2026 NBA Finals, taking advantage of Jon's unique perspective as a courtside producer. They discuss what this means for both teams now and in the future and who might be there next year.For information about the podcast and links to further details on the issues we discuss, go to matterofsports.com and send us your feedback at matterofsports@gmail.com.

| 5/23/26 |  Who Wore it Best | Think of a number. Any number. What does it mean to you? Is it the age of your youngest child? Is it the number of chicken wings you ate last night? Or, is it the number worn by your favorite athlete when he, or she, made their way into your personal Hall of Fame? In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani take a look at the numbers 1 through 10 and decide which athletes were the greatest of all time wearing each of those numbers.For information about the podcast and links to further details on the issues we discuss, go to matterofsports.com and send us your feedback at matterofsports@gmail.com.

| 4/25/26 |  Quick Fixes | Do you remember the fable about the Tortoise and the Hare? The ultimate lesson of that fable was that slow and steady wins the race. The the world of college sports, that may be a thing of the past. Coaches used to have 5 years at least to turn a program around but now its all about RIGHT NOW! With NIL and the transfer portal, coaches are expected to get it done in just a couple of years...and some of them are (cough, cough, Hoosiers, cough, cough). Is this the way it should be done? In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani discuss the Quick Fixes that have become the reality of collegiate sports and if its a sustainable model.For information about the podcast and links to further details on the issues we discuss, go to matterofsports.com and send us your feedback at matterofsports@gmail.com.

| 11/15/25 |  The Process | Once again we have come to that time of the year when all thoughts turn to one thing...okay maybe a few things...but a big one is the College Football Playoff. Its a time when everyone has an opinion about which teams should be there and and which teams shouldn't be, but the question is...how do they get there? What is The Process?

| 11/1/25 |  College Gambling | Gambling has been around as long as sports has been around. In many ways, gambling is as much a part of sports as the athlete is, but there have been long standing rules about who could place a bet on a sporting event and for most of known history, the athletes were not allowed. That will most likely be changing. In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani discuss whether or not college athletes should be allowed to bet on pro sports or even on collegiate sports. Should they be allowed to be a part of the sports gambling industry.

| 10/18/25 |  Buyout or Bailout | Seven head college football coaches have been fired since the start of the season. That's right...seven. Could there be more? Is this the right thing to be doing. In the episode, Jon Madani takes a look at this trend (?) through the lens of one particular coach firing that may not have been the best idea ever. Is Jon right or do these universities know something we don't?
