WELCOME TO GAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY, The hilariously dark, true-crime story of "Shinehead," the college student who inadvertently became a sports bookie who franchised his business model to numerous major universities and made millions before graduating, all while staying one step ahead of the university and the police… but not the mob.

It was the late 1980s when Shinehead was a freshman at a major state university in the south. He was a clean-cut kid from a straight-laced family who was dropped into the heart of SEC country, where sports are king and nothing else matters. His background in sports and his scholarship in applied mathematics and statistics were quickly put to work by his fraternity brothers running the house's sports book. And that's when things got out of control....

If GOODFELLAS, CASINO and ROUNDERS had a baby with THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, and that baby joined the Delta Chi fraternity in ANIMAL HOUSE, you would have COLLEGE GAMBLING DAY. Created by comedy writer Kevin Schini, this podcast is a fascinating and hilarious look into this true-life cautionary tale about how Shinehead went from taking a few bets with friends around campus to building an empire of gambling winnings from multiple colleges, to his eventual and unfortunate demise.
