This week we speak to Professor Kenneth Shropshire about a host of issues pervading sports and how today’s students are taking them in.

We have Choice Words’ with Chuck Modiano on whether there is an ethical team to root for in this week’s Super Bowl. We also have Just Stand Up and Just Sit Down awards to Maya Moore and her incredible work on criminal justice and cross country skiing of all things. All that and more on Edge of Sports!
