The Washington Post recently uncovered emails from Big Ten presidents and chancellors last summer that showed that they were trying to find ways to get around open records laws. They sent emails openly discussing how they would evade their obligations to turn over documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) which were then, somewhat amusingly, turned over during a FOIA request.

This all centered around the decision-making process last summer when Big Ten schools were figuring out whether it was safe to play football or have students return to campus at all.

Matt Brown of the Extra Points Newsletter has done great reporting on this topic and why it's a big deal. He joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and more.
