97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell welcomes Corey Holliday, Erianne Weight and Deborah Stroman to the studio for a panel on the state of college athletics and whether recent changes are causing the sports to feel different — both for the athletes and fans. All former collegiate athletes themselves, Stroman, Weight and Holliday share their perspectives on the role sports and athletics programs play in setting one up for success in professional life and the current pitfalls facing players. The group digs into under-discussed elements of what changes like the transfer portal, NIL and revenue-sharing bring to both operations and the daily lives of athletes, as well as some misconceptions around those topics and the student-athlete experience in general.
The 2025 “Forum On The Hill” is presented by the Town of Chapel Hill, UNC Health, Wegmans, Coleman Merritt Murphy & Rainsford P.C., and The Law Office of Chris Barnes. Listen to the panels live on 97.9 The Hill WCHL the week of Dec. 8-12 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., or revisit them the day after on-demand at Chapelboro.com, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts!
