Q

In this week's edition of the q sports panel, Shad checks in with Toronto Star's Morgan Campbell and Megan Greenwell, senior editor of ESPN Magazine. . 

At issue today: 

  • This week an NCAA basketball team was accused of allegedly luring athletes to their roster — but not with money; they're accused of using strippers and prostitutes.
  • Free skier Gus Kenworthy made headlines as the first openly gay athlete in extreme sports. Does that announcement carry the same weight as it might have a year ago?
