Taylor Lyons of The Baltimore Sun joins Fear the Podcast this week to discuss his recent reporting that Ja'Kobi Gillespie is headed to mediation with Blueprint Sports, the collective handling Maryland's NIL dealings. Blueprint says his contract became void once he transferred, Gillespie says that clause does not exist in his contract.
Lyons fills us in on the details of that situation but also sheds some light on the drama with Maryland's Athletic Department in the final days of Kevin Willard and Damon Evans. Willard has been on a media tour lately trying to save face about his departure and some of those details contradict what Lyons has heard from others close to the situation.
