On this week’s episode of the Hustler Sports 30, Simon Gibbs, Betsy Goodfriend, Justin Hershey and Bryce Smith break down a historic week on West End, as Vanderbilt athletics announced the formation of its $300 million “Vandy United” fund.

In addition, with the recent news that Roy Williams, UNC’s head basketball coach, has retired, the hosts address recent rumors that Vanderbilt head coach Jerry Stackhouse could be a candidate.
