And credit to Pam Witten, the president of IU. 133 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: She said, you know, a lot of controversies around here 134 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: in the last few years, but she was part of 135 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: that core group of people that I use leadership that said, 136 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 2: you know, what things have changed. College football has changed 137 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: with NIL and the transfer portal, and we're going to 138 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: make a run at being a real college football program. 139 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 2: And whole boy, they did it quicker than I think 140 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: anybody ever thought they could. 141 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 4: So she put out a statement and said, what a 142 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 4: night would a team want to win? For IU tonight? 143 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 4: Who's yours everywhere are smiling a little bigger. I'm so 144 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 4: proud of coach Signetti and this entire team for bringing 145 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 4: home in university's first national championship on football. But we 146 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 4: have to talk a little bit about some of the implications. 147 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: What does this mean? 148 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 4: For one, when you when you think about the media narrative, 149 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 4: you know, it's it's kind of messy for those sports 150 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 4: writers because now they're going to have to work just 151 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 4: a little bit harder. They can't just say the same 152 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 4: old narrative, Oh I use a basketball school, Well. 153 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: Not anymore, No, And what's so so much you know, 154 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: and there's so many great storylines about this IU football team, 155 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: But it's not just to Cinderella story. This IU winning 156 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: is really a middle finger to the blue bloods and 157 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: the establishment of college football, a middle finger to the 158 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: SEC and to the Ohio States of the World and 159 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: USC's and the Oregons and the Texas, all these blue 160 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 2: blood teams that have been around forever. For them to 161 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: come in and say, hey, we know we're the worst 162 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: program in college football history, but we've got a real 163 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: coach now, and we brought our players in and IU 164 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: is a you know, it's just unbelievable to say that 165 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: I use the national champion. 166 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 4: It really does force the sports media to confront something 167 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 4: maybe a little uncomfortable for them, and that is that 168 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 4: they're not shaping the narrative anymore. They're reacting to it 169 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 4: because there's been so much brand bias. I mean, think 170 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 4: about this, all of the haters saying, wow, you really 171 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 4: hasn't played anybody, right? That was Obio State down, Alabama down, 172 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 4: Oregon down, Miami down. 173 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: That was kind of Oh, they haven't played anything. How 174 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: about now that now? 175 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: There was a lot of joking on social media last night, 176 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: and there was a lot of you know, people saying, hey, 177 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: every SEC fan right now, I you really never played 178 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: anybody this year? 179 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 3: Not a real chap, right, what are they going to 180 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: say now? Exactly? 181 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: So, Yeah, it has been so great to see them 182 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: completely upend the system. And look, college football is changing, 183 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: and it's changing really quickly. And how incredibly smart of 184 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 2: I use leadership and signetti and those players to take 185 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 2: advantage of that. They had this opportunity as the sport 186 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: changed with NI in the transfer portal, and how things 187 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 2: are different. They have completely upended the college football world 188 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: and everything is up for grabs and. 189 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: Now Indiana becomes a value brand. Right. 190 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: They've got the national exposure, the development and real nil 191 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 4: opportunities that will continue going forward. 192 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: And you know, every now and then, and we see this, 193 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: if you're a big college football fan, you get a 194 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 2: team that surprises you, that makes it, you know, deep 195 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 2: into the playoffs or to the national championship. TCU a 196 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 2: couple of years ago played Georgia in the National Championship 197 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 2: and you were surprised that TCU got there and Georgia 198 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 2: ended up throttling them in the title game. So that's 199 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: kind of always been the case. It doesn't feel like 200 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 2: it with this IU team. It feels like this is 201 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: not just some one hit wonder Cinderella season. It feels 202 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: like they've built something there that can be sustainable long 203 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 2: term and you know, potentially win even more of these 204 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 2: going on well. 205 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 4: And it's also a little bit more glamour for not 206 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 4: the big markets. This is in LA this isn't Miami, 207 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 4: it's not Dallas. 208 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: So it's little Bloomington, India, correct exactly and having this 209 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: team and what a great There was a lot of 210 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 2: video last night from everybody on Kirkwood Avenue in Bloomington, 211 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 2: and the streets were just filled and I saw something 212 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: was on fire at one point, which is usually typical, 213 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 2: not a building. There was like a little bonfire in 214 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 2: the middle of the street, which is typical of these celebrations. 215 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: But yeah, Bloomington tore it up last night and the 216 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: video that came out of there was fantastic. 217 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: Don't we just love an underdog? 218 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 4: I mean when you think of some of the stories 219 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 4: that have come out of the state of Indiana, and 220 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 4: Jane Paully touched on it on her piece that she 221 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 4: had on CBS Sunday Morning.

The title that 238 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: I you used to have is now firmly held by Northwestern. 239 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: And yeah, what do you guys do in Northwestern? Get 240 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: your act together? 241 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: I you did it well. 242 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 4: Now we know the recipe, right, Chris Signetti showed him 243 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 4: how it's done. 244 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of those things where I think it's 245 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: it's probably it's simple, but not easy. 246 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, not easy. 247 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 2: Every you're going to see that. Now everybody is going 248 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: to try and replicate what I you did. They're going 249 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 2: to be hiring d two coaches and taking all these 250 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: transfers from three stars and two star players into their 251 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: program and trying to do exactly what I you did. 252 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 2: I have a feeling it's going to be a little 253 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 2: bit harder than what that may just present on the surface. 254 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: This is the Kendaly Casey Show. It's ninety three WIBC. 255 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 1: We could we could just talk about that game this 256 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: entire show. 257 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 3: We're not.

You know why they lost their losers. 264 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: It's the accurate statement. You're really forceful about that. 265 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: Well, you know what. 266 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 4: I just like at the end of the game last night, 267 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: when Crystal Baul was like, oh. 268 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: They're champions, No they're not. They lost. I'm sorry they lost. 269 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: They're losers. So you're saying that Bears they lost the. 270 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 2: Chicago Bears, and they did. You're accurate about that, But 271 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 2: most Bears fans and most sports fans in general are 272 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: all you know, saw that Bears game, which was a spectacular, fun, 273 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: exciting gamer like, wow, the Bears had a great season, 274 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 2: good for them, something to build on for next year, 275 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 2: and you're like, nope, loser loser. 276 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 4: They always say something to build on for next year. 277 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 4: It's always something to build on when they lost. 278 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 2: And there's something to be said about, you know, feeling 279 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: that pain of a sports loss like the Chicago Bears 280 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: and using that for fuel going forward. 281 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: M hmm, yeah, no, they didn't. 282 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 2: We'll talk about the Bears at the end of the show. 283 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 2: We'll have time for that after we do three hours 284 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: of AU football and maybe a little bit of JD 285 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: Vance maybe just a little, just a little bit. 286 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: Jd Vance put out a tweet over the weekend. 287 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 4: He said he'd like to thank Rod Bray for not 288 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 4: even trying to fight back against this extraordinary Democrat abuse 289 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 4: of power. Now the votes of Indiana Republicans will matter 290 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 4: far less than the votes of Virginia Democrats. 291 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: We told you it would happen, you did nothing. 292 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: Still talking about redistricting, still talking, We're still talking about redistricting. 293 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: JD Vance still tweeting about Indiana Senate pro Tem Rod 294 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: Bray and still talking about redistricting. 295 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's actually what's happening. 296 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 4: And he's very critical and Donald Trump even put something 297 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 4: out in that We're coming for you. 298 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: Rod Bray's not up for reelection. Until twenty twenty eight. 299 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 300 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: So, and this is why I've talked about this before. 301 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: What I filled into this is what happens when you 302 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: have a supermajority. Normally you've got you know, Republicans fighting 303 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 2: Democrats and Democrats fighting Republicans, and it's kind of close 304 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 2: and we're duking it all out for the best of ideas. 305 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 3: Republicans have dominated the state. 306 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 2: No Democrat has won a statewide election in over twenty years. 307 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: So when you've got that super majority the Republicans, there's 308 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 2: no sense in fighting with the Democrats in this state. 309 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: They have no power. So what happens, You've got to 310 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: fight with somebody. So Republicans are going to fight with Republicans, 311 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: and that's exactly what's playing out. And I think we're 312 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: going to this rhetoric is only going to ramp up 313 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: as we get closer to the midterm elections at the 314 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 2: end of this year, especially as we get closer to 315 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: the Indiana primary coming up in May.

But he actually broke 399 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 2: before the end of the game when from Nando Mendoza 400 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 2: scored that quarterback draw and ran in for the touchdown 401 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 2: like Superman jumping into the end zone. They went to 402 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 2: Signetti and he actually had his hands up at which 403 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: I was absolutely shocked that before the end of the 404 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 2: game because the game at that point was still in 405 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: question and my I he was still in it. I 406 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: was really surprised that Signetti broke and shows some you know, 407 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 2: celebration and emotion. But but he did, and then when 408 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: the game was over, you finally got lots of smiles 409 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 2: and laughing in high five and out of curs. 410 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: I was showing some emotion as we were watching it 411 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: at home. 412 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 4: You were those last those last fifty one fifty two 413 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 4: seconds made me nervous. 414 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: No, let me tell you, you were something to watch 415 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: that game with last night, because you get I was 416 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 2: worked up. You were very worked up. You were very negative. 417 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: The whole fourth quarter. You kept saying you hate run plays, 418 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 2: absolutely hate run plays, and I you, I mean it 419 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: was like clockwork, but I mean there was a strategy 420 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: behind it, but I you kept running on first and 421 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: second down, and generally they were pretty much just dive 422 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 2: plays right into the line, and you know, every now 423 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 2: and then they'd get a you know, an eight or 424 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 2: ten yard break, but most of those run plays were 425 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 2: you know, two three yards, maybe four yards, and you kept, 426 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 2: you kept yelling and. 427 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 3: Screaming, like why are they running the ball? Why I 428 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 3: hate the run? Everybody knows you're gonna run, and of 429 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 3: course you only got two yards. You were you were 430 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 3: something to watch that game with last night. 431 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 4: Well, and those refs were not calling anything on Miami either. 432 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 4: I mean it's like the score would have been fifty 433 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 4: nothing had I you been Skins with no jerseys to 434 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 4: hang on to. 435 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it is, you know it is. 436 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 2: It's you know, it's kind of kind of low rent 437 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: when your team loses to blame it on the refs, 438 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: even though sometimes it is fair. But let's be honest, 439 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: refs never, you know, completely control the outcome of the game. 440 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: You could have played better throughout the rest of the game. 441 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: But to defend the referees last night, they were letting 442 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 2: both the defensive backs for both IU and Miami pretty 443 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 2: much do whatever they want. They were not I don't 444 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 2: know if there was one pass interference call last night. 445 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 1: Now it's seem like Mendosa took such a hard hit 446 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: he busted his list. 447 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 3: Now that's different. 448 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 2: I was talking about the pass interference calls and the 449 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: refs let both teams play, even though it looked like 450 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: Miami was doing a lot more jersey grabbing than IU. 451 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: But they weren't called a lot of pass interference calls. 452 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 2: But Signetti was right. If you saw the interview when 453 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 2: he was walking to the locker room. 454 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: Again, that halftime interview, Kevin, Yeah. 455 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 4: Well you've got it, which actually does he kind of 456 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 4: you know a lot of people say, oh, a halftime 457 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 4: interview is pointless, it doesn't mean anything. 458 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: Right as the coach is walking to the locker room, 459 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: they pull it up there and usually it is just like, hey, 460 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: you know, that's why you got to play four quarters 461 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: of football and we're just going to take it one play. 462 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: At a time. 463 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: You get a lot of cliched answers, but Signetti and rightly. 464 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: So this is where the refs really screwed up was 465 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 2: early on in the game. Mendoza kept getting late hits 466 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: and hits to the head, and the refs were not 467 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 2: calling it on that, and Signetti called out those refs 468 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 2: as he was walking to the locker room right before halftime, Eddie, they're. 469 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 3: Hitting your quarterback. 470 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 4: How is that impacting your offense and his ability to 471 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 4: get into rhythm. 472 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 6: Well, there's three personal files on the quarterback not called 473 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 6: in one drive that need to be called because they're 474 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 6: obvious personal files. 475 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 3: I'm all for. 476 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 6: Letting them play, but when you cross the line, you 477 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 6: got to call it, and they weren't. They were black 478 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 6: and white calls. So we got some third down conversions 479 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 6: on cross against double mud that's self. We got two 480 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 6: score laid defense hadn't let him in the ad zone 481 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 6: or on the scoreboard. We'll get the ball first. Sure 482 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 6: it'd be nice to go down there and score a touchdown. 483 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 5: Thank you, coach. 484 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 2: He was pretty pointed, and he was absolutely one hundred 485 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 2: percent correct. 486 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 3: But so in some ways, now that it's all over, 487 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 3: and now. 488 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 2: That you know IU has won the national championship, in 489 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 2: some ways it's even better the fact that those refs 490 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 2: were not calling all those hits on Mendoza, Because. 491 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 3: You'll see a lot of the clips going around social 492 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 3: media this morning. 493 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: There's a great shot on television last night of Fernando 494 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 2: Mendoza and his whole mouth was bloody. 495 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 3: He had blood on his mouth guard, blood on. 496 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 2: His chin strap. And in some ways that makes it 497 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 2: even better. The refs weren't for us. The refs weren't 498 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 2: calling it. Our guy was getting bloodied in the face, 499 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 2: and they still hunkered down and had this incredible run 500 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 2: and finished out in winning the game. I really wish 501 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 2: the reps would have called a bit, But in some 502 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 2: ways it makes for an even better story. Against all odds, 503 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 2: the world's against us, the refs are against us. We're 504 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 2: getting punched in the mouth and bloodied and we still 505 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 2: move forward and we're still able to win the game 506 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: in incredible fashion. Just such an I mean, the storylines. 507 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: It's not just one or two storylines. It's fifteen, twenty 508 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: thirty storylines from this team all season and into the 509 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 2: last night's game. It's just just just incredible. 510 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 4: After the Rose bul Kurt Signetti said, it's going to 511 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 4: be a heck of a movie. 512 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: Right, So what's the title of that movie? 513 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 4: Is? 514 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: Is it going to be Indiana? 515 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 3: Oh? I, you know, Hoosier's Part two. 516 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 2: You know, I'm sure that somebody will try and you know, 517 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 2: get the word undaunted in there sixteen and oh who, So, 518 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: of course Indiana. Great sports movies from Rudy to Hoosiers. 519 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 2: I've got an idea for you. Could call it Hoosiers. 520 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: Two, Hoosier's Part two. 521 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 2: Okay, I've got a better one for you, Yeah, Toosires. 522 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 2: In fact, you can even do that too, Toosires one. No, 523 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: but it's wine but no, but it kind of plays 524 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 2: homage to you know, the Myland basketball team and the 525 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 2: movie Hoosiers and how great that was. 526 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 3: They called the IU football movie Toosiers. 527 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 4: I don't know, I think you don't like that, so 528 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 4: scriptwriter is gonna come up with something better than that. 529 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 2: I dare you to come up with a better movie 530 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 2: name for this one than Toosiers. 531 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, give me a minute and I will. 532 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 4: Let's talk about what's going on with the Indiana legislators. 533 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 4: They want to align the state law with the new 534 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 4: federal ban on hemp. So pretty much they're saying, we 535 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 4: don't want hemp here in Indiana. Products like Delta eight 536 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 4: and other THHC variants. 537 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: It spread through. 538 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 4: It kind of got through a loophole in a twenty 539 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 4: eighteen federal farm bill. But now there's a new bill 540 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 4: sponsored by Senator Aaron Freeman. He introduced Senate Bill to fifty, 541 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 4: saying the bill is a compromise, not his ideal solution, 542 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 4: but they don't want hemp here in Indiana. 543 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, so here's here's the context of this. Obviously, marijuana 544 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: has been banned by the federal government most states for 545 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: a long wal time. But what scientists and people have 546 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 2: done is and when you write a law, you've got 547 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 2: to be real specific. 548 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 3: You got to be real specific when you write a law. 549 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 2: So the law has always been you know, you know, 550 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: this specific version of THC. And I'm I'm, you know, 551 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 2: the farthest thing from a marijuana or THHC expert. But 552 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 2: as I understand it, there's this, you know, the typical 553 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: THHC that you get out of typical marijuana. Well, people 554 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: and scientists have been able to create derivatives that avoid 555 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: the law. It's like kind of finding a loophole. And 556 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 2: so that's why you'll see, you know, you drive by 557 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 2: some gas stations or some smoke shops and you'll see 558 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 2: a sign out sign that talks about, you know, Delta 559 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 2: eight and Delta nine and Delta ten. I don't know 560 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: what any of those things mean, but some of them 561 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: are essentially like marijuana light, kind of like light beer, 562 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 2: but marijuana light. And they I've kind of found a 563 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 2: loophole in state law that allows them to be sold 564 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 2: to the public. Now, federal law cracked down on them, 565 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 2: like you talked about a few years ago, but from 566 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: a state perspective, the law hasn't changed. This is what 567 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: lawmakers are trying to do. They're trying to ban essentially 568 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: that marijuana light that has been available in a lot 569 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 2: of places publicly for a lot of years, and trying 570 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 2: to get that out of there. 571 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 4: Some key points to this bill, there's an age requirement 572 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 4: twenty one in over. They also want to put the 573 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 4: Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission to regulate the industry, and 574 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 4: no sales within one thousand feet of schools, playgrounds are 575 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 4: similar areas, no online sales deliveries or on site consumption. 576 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: And they also want. 577 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 4: To put some advertising restrictions on it. And the cost, yes, 578 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 4: of course there's a cost to this bill, a. 579 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 3: Cost to you the tax payer, yes, and. 580 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 4: To you to enforce this law if it does go 581 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 4: into effect, will cost about five hundred thousand dollars per year. 582 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 2: Why has it always seemed like the State of Indiana 583 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 2: so behind the times when it comes to things? Remember 584 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 2: how long did we have to fight for alcohol sales 585 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: on Sunday in this state? 586 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 3: How long did we have to do that? How long 587 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 3: have people. 588 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 2: Been talking about trying to bring medical marijuana into the 589 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 2: state when we are surrounded literally every state that borders 590 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 2: the state of Indiana has at the very least medical 591 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: marijuana available, some of them recreational marijuana. We're talking about Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, 592 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 2: Michigan all have these things. Yet every year General Assembly 593 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 2: meets in Indianapolis, and every year it's talked about, and 594 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 2: every year the legislation goes absolutely nowhere. But when it 595 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: comes to banning these loopholes or closing these loopholes about 596 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 2: delta A THHC, it looks like that one may actually 597 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 2: have some movement this year. 598 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 4: So Indiana says that they're against marijuana and then they 599 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 4: want to pass this bill. Isn't this just going to 600 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 4: push more people to go to other states? 601 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 5: Again? 602 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 3: Even more absolutely, it's going to do that. 603 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 2: And and and for a for a legislation, you know, 604 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: a legislative body that you know has never met a 605 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 2: tax they don't love. It would be one thing if 606 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 2: they were to make it legal here in the state 607 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 2: and tax it, But for some reason, they just haven't 608 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 2: done that. And now they're closing down an avenue of sales. 609 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 2: And whether it's right or wrong, there's going to be 610 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: small businesses impacted, employees impacted, and at the very least 611 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: sales tax, sales tax revenue that's impacted. And it's probably 612 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: going to go to those neighboring states that we talked about. 613 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 2: If people want this, they're going to drive to Ohio, 614 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: They're going to drive to Michigan and Kentucky and Illinois. 615 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 4: So the lawmakers say that they want clear rules, consumer 616 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 4: safety and strong protections for you. At the bill pass 617 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 4: committee seven to two along party lines, and it now 618 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 4: will head to the Senate Appropriations Committee. You're listening to 619 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 4: the Kendall and Casey Show. It is ninety three WIBC. 620 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 3: No the same, it's calling. 621 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: Smoke same scary. 622 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 4: Are in the glow of the IU Championship win and 623 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 4: people are. 624 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: Still talking about it. So let's continue on with another topic. 625 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: I actually got a request. 626 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 3: Oh are we doing that? We're playing requests? Well, what 627 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 3: do you got quts? 628 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: Denny Smith? He sent me a text and he said 629 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: he would be interested in your. 630 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 4: Jim's opinion on the portal. There are five IU players 631 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 4: who have entered the portal. Maybe a perspective on how 632 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 4: the game is totally changed in the off season through recruiting. 633 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 2: Hey, when Denny Smith asks us to talk about something, 634 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: you do it. When the legendary Denny Smith says, hey, 635 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: what do you think about this? 636 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 3: You talk about it. So you got to address Thank 637 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 3: you for that. 638 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: Text there, Denny. And look, I tried to keep it 639 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 2: obviously on this show. We're not going to get into 640 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 2: the nuts and bolts and ye breakdowns, the x's and o's, 641 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 2: and why Signetti you know, brilliantly called that time out 642 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 2: right before the fourth down, Run. 643 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: Center the team and get them back. 644 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 2: So we're going to talk a little bit more about 645 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 2: different storylines, kind of high level storylines here. 646 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 3: But if Denny Smith. 647 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: Wants me to dig into the NIL and the portal, 648 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: I guess I've got no choice and happy to do it. 649 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 3: So this is what has changed. 650 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 2: If you don't watch college football at the level that 651 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: I watch college football, and most of you don't, and 652 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 2: that's okay, college football has changed. So for years in 653 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: college football, in decades, people said, pay the players. You 654 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 2: got to pay the players, pay the players, and lawsuits 655 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 2: were brought and court rulings basically said, hey, yeah, you 656 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 2: can pay the players. And so that's where this name, 657 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: image and likeness, that's what NIL stands for, came about 658 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: in the last several years. And most people thought it 659 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 2: would be, oh, you know, the players will now get 660 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: a cut of their jersey sales, or you know, they 661 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 2: can do a commercial with the local car dealership and 662 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 2: get paid for that. 663 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 3: No, none of that's going on. 664 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 2: It's just essentially checks being written by the university and 665 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,239 Speaker 2: boosters straight to the players. So think of it as 666 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: like NFL free agency. I'm gonna play football this year. 667 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 2: How much you want to play me to pay at 668 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 2: your school. And that's what's been going on, and certainly 669 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 2: I you took advantage of that. But the other big 670 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: part of this too, that happened right along the same 671 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 2: lines as NIL coming into play is what's called the 672 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: transfer portal. So it used to be for decades in 673 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 2: college football and all college sports that if I was 674 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 2: if I was playing, you know, a sport for Notre 675 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 2: Dame and I decided I wanted to transfer to IU, 676 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 2: I had to sit out an entire season, an entire 677 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: season where I didn't play anything. That's gone Now these 678 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 2: players can go wherever they want. In fact, there's been 679 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 2: stories of some players that transferred to a new school, 680 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 2: did the spring football and the spring practice and the 681 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 2: spring game, and then before the season started on Labor 682 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: Day weekend, they transferred back to their original school or transferred. 683 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: To playing time. 684 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 2: So and there's been a lot of complaints about this 685 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 2: all The NCAA's got to fix this, and college football's 686 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 2: got to fix this. Okay, they eventually they'll figure it out, 687 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 2: but right now it really is the wild wild West. 688 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 2: I can pay players, I can, I can. You know 689 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: it's rumored that you know, I you paid Fernando Mendoza 690 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: about two and a half million dollars this year. Carson 691 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 2: Beck got you know, reportedly four million dollars to be 692 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 2: the quarterback at Miami this year. 693 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 3: Okay, that's the world we live in. Love it or 694 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 3: hate it, that's the world we live in. 695 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 2: So if we want to compete, we've got to play 696 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 2: under those rules. Wonderful. But now you've got this transfer portal. 697 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 2: It's popped up, and I think Denny mentioned it in 698 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 2: his text that five IU players have already entered the 699 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 2: transfer portal. I'm gonna give you this. The data has 700 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 2: come out about this, because it's all public and you 701 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 2: can see it. One third of all college football players, 702 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 2: We're talking about thousands of players, one third of all 703 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 2: college football players have already entered the transfer portal for 704 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 2: next year. Now, that doesn't mean that all of those 705 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 2: players are going to change teams. 706 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 3: They've basically just said, hey, I'm open for business. If 707 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 3: you want me to play on your team, come talk 708 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 3: to me. 709 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 2: So it really has been a seismic shift in college 710 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 2: all college athletics. It's obviously more prominent than college football, 711 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 2: but that's the changes that have been happening. And you 712 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 2: would not see I You and Kurt Signetti winning a 713 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: national championship within two years if those two things weren't 714 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 2: a part of college football. 715 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 4: That's something I want to ask you about though, because 716 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 4: you said it makes it feel like it's the wild West, 717 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 4: but this is I you winning make it feel a 718 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 4: little bit more like strategy and governance and program identity 719 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 4: like that. 720 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: It was very intentional the way they. 721 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 2: Did it, so it would Signetti and I you wouldn't 722 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 2: have been able to do this without the NIL and 723 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 2: the transfer portal. But that's not the only reason they 724 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 2: were able to do this, and it's maybe not even. 725 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: The biggest culture. 726 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 3: A huge part of. 727 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 2: It was culture, because again, I You didn't spend the most, 728 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 2: not even close. 729 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 3: There are plenty of other schools spent. 730 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 2: A ton more on on NIL and paid their players 731 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 2: a lot more than I You did. So while that's 732 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 2: part of it, and it's one of the factors, I 733 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: think it's a bigger factor in and you know, college 734 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 2: football more than probably any other sport, including in the NFL. 735 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 2: So dependent on the head coaches. I mean, if you've 736 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 2: got a great head coach, your team's going to have 737 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 2: a chat. We think about the great head coaches. We 738 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 2: think about, you know, Jim Tressel and Ryan Dane Ohio State. 739 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 2: We think about Nick Saban and Alabama, Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, 740 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 2: and now Kurt Signetti from IU. 741 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 3: Is part of that. 742 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 2: The coach matters immensely. And then the fact that he 743 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 2: was able to take all those players from JMU. And 744 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 2: you know, this is a roster. It's been talked about 745 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 2: a lot. You know, there's only eight players on the 746 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: team that are four star and they've got zero five star. 747 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 2: Miami last night had forty five players that were four 748 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 2: or five star. Alabama had over fifty, Ohio State had 749 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 2: over fifty. IU had eight four star players and zero 750 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 2: five star players. 751 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 3: So that's a bigger part of it. 752 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 4: So to your point that five star kind of hurt 753 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 4: some of those Miami players playing. 754 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: Like they deserve to win. 755 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 3: It was expected and sometimes you back that up. 756 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 2: But when when the little guy puts together and they've 757 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 2: talked about it a lot, last night, the IU football team. 758 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 2: It's essentially it's the team of misfit toys. Yeah, I 759 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 2: mean these guys were told that they were no good. 760 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 2: Now no watch them. Fornando Mendoza grows up one mile 761 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,479 Speaker 2: away from hard Rock Stadium, where that game was played 762 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 2: last night, Miami's home field. Miami Hurricanes were his team 763 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 2: growing up. He was a two star in high school. 764 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 2: He wanted to play at the University of Miami. They 765 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 2: wouldn't even give him a walk on spot, so he 766 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,720 Speaker 2: gets a scholarship at CAL and then transfers to IU. 767 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 2: These were players no but Kurtz Signetti wanted. And that 768 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 2: is the kind of culture that money cannot buy. And 769 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 2: that's the biggest reason why I you won. 770 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 1: It is the Kendally Casey Show. It's ninety three WIBC 771 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: Morning
