Burning Thoughts: Amina Seck and Abolish ICE Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

Our patrons voted and said they wanted to hear us talk about Kentucky State basketballer, Aminata "Amina" Seck, who was recently released from ICE's custody after spending two months imprisoned by them. Seck is a graduate student, from Senegal, and plays center on the team. She was with her team on the way to a game in New York when ICE thugs arrested her.

Seck is not the only international collegiate basketball that ICE has picked up. Mississippi Valley State's Qingfang Pang, who is from China, has been in custody since September 29.

In this Burning Thoughts, Lindsay and Jessica discuss these cases, why this is all so infuriating, asks where the universities and the NCAA are, and Jessica tells a story of soccer fans in Austin trying to do something about this in their community.

Abolish ICE!

Ep. 276: The death of sports? Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

With Ted Cruz featured on College GameDay, multiple universities sending teams abroad, and designer brands popping up on campus for football games, Jessica, Amira, and Lindsay are left asking: is this the death of sports?

Amira takes us through the history of how big money entered college sports, and the hosts also discuss the influence of private equity in pro and youth sports. They take a closer look at the so-called "Protect College Sports Act."

Meanwhile, a familiar name returns to the Burn Pile. And there's lots to celebrate from the US Open.

Thank you, again, to our Executive Producer for today’s episode, Nanita Cranford! And thank you to Erica Mauter for sponsoring today's Burn Pile!

Ep. 275: All bets are off: How sports gambling has conquered the world Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

Amira, Brenda, and Lindsay review how sports betting has seeped into politics and provided the stuff of fantasies for people in dire economic need. Women represent the final frontier for exploitative betting companies, and BIAD asks how we can save women’s sports from such scourge. The hosts consider ways to regulate the industry in order to save sports. They also have plenty to burn (looking at you, Sophie Cunningham) and honor the torchbearers giving them hope.

Patreon Preview: WNBPA VP Alysha Clark takes us behind the scenes on the new CBA Jul 28, 2026

Show notes

Hello, Flamethrowers! Here’s a preview of Lindsay's interview from WNBA All-Star Weekend with 3-time WNBA Champion and WNBPA vice president Alysha Clark. The interview was part of an event hosted by 75 Million and Inclusion Playbook called “Full Court Press: A celebration and brunch for sports media.” It was an intimate event with just about 40 people, but they were kind enough to let Lindsay record the interview so that we could share it with you!

Alysha and Lindsay spoke about her unique career journey, what her expectations were going into this CBA fight, what she’s most proud about and how this all connects to the bigger picture for women in the workplace.
