Does watching NCAA basketball and rooting for the underdogs sound familiar? Have you ever been told that picking underdog stocks is the way to achieve financial success, only to end up feeling the pain of disappointment? If you've ever experienced the thrill of rooting for the unexpected in sports, only to be let down, you might be feeling the same frustration in your investment decisions. But what if there's a better way to make well-researched choices that lead to long-term success?

• Understand the significant impact of NIL money on college sports and how it's reshaping the landscape of collegiate athletics.
• Explore the intriguing dynamics of college basketball's one-and-done strategy and its implications on the sport's future.
• Consider diversifying your portfolio with fixed-income assets, especially if you have a lower risk tolerance or need stability for short-term financial goals.
• Find out how the hosts' NCAA brackets are doing and their outlook on the Philadelphia Phillies' season.

The one-and-done strategy in college basketball, relying on recruits with plans to enter the NBA after a single year, presents challenges for team dynamics and performance. Jon, Cody, and Sean draw parallels between this strategy and stock-picking a portfolio for short-term success. Just as teams with older, experienced players often have an advantage in high-stakes games like the NCAA tournament, so do balanced and diversified portfolios.
