OA153: March Madness on Yodel Mountain

<p>Today's episode takes an in-depth look at the recent FBI investigation into NCAA basketball. First, though, the guys take another trip to Yodel Mountain, stopping at base camp to discuss Michael Rogers, Hope Hicks, Jared Kushner, Rick Gates, and everyone's favorite villain, Paul Manafort. During the main segment, Andrew and Thomas cover the recent expose by Yahoo regarding college basketball coaches allegedly paying for top talent.  What does this mean for the future of the  sport right before March Madness?   Listen and find out! After that,  we revisit the funniest lawsuit in recent memory, namely, Bob Murray of Murray Energy's defamation lawsuit against John Oliver, which we first covered back in <a href= "https://openargs.com/oa84-cnnblackmail-john-olivers-lawsuit-maajid-nawaz/"> Episode 84</a>. Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #65 about an overzealous Eli Bosnick disciple who accidentally poisoned a meat-eater.  Don't forget to follow our Twitter feed (<a href= "https://twitter.com/openargs">@Openargs</a>) and like our <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/openargs/">Facebook Page</a> so that you too can play along with #TTTBE! <span style= "text-decoration: underline;">Recent Appearances</span> None!  Have us on your show! <span style= "text-decoration: underline;">Show Notes & Links</span></p> <ol> <li>Here is the link to the <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/27/us/politics/michael-rogers-nsa-cyber-command-russia-election-meddling.html"><em>New York Times</em> story about Adm.
