b'Brad Wolverton covers college sports for the Chronicle of Higher Education, seeing it from the view of academia reporting, and analyzing several of the issues that affect a campus as a whole. Wolverton discusses the Missouri protests which removed both the university president and chancellor, started by Mizzo football player who went on a hunger strike and showed the true power that student-athletes have now with social media. Wolverton then talks about student fees, and the amount of income that pushes forward various departments, and whether students fully understand the fees that they are paying. The conversation results into a discussion of higher education as a whole, and athletics place within it. Twitter: @BradWolverton'
