About this episode
The college softball season is right around the corner! Two-time Olympic gold medalist and longtime ESPN softball analyst Michele Smith joined Sarah to discuss her big predictions heading into the 2026 NCAA season, the lessons from last year that inspired major transfer portal moves in the offseason, and how the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics are bringing more resources to the college game. Plus, a little NCAA softball 101 that will help you understand the road to the Women’s College World Series and we share some stirring words out of Minnesota.
