In this week's episode, we talk all about the AUDL and MLU: which teams are on top, how the playoffs might shake out, how the leagues are doing financially, and where they might go from here. Could we see a merger sometime in the next two years?

With more questions than answers, we open some conversational threads that we hope to address more fully on later episodes with interviews and in-depth reporting.

This is part one of a two part Deep Look this week. Later this week we will talk college, with the D-III and D-I National Championships right around the corner.
