You know, they 61 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: use the Force Gump theme, they've used that forever. As 62 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: the kids running around the bases. Everyone loves it. They 63 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: all cheer them on. So somebody's got to give us 64 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: an update on how the kid's doing. 65 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: By the way, But yeah, I mean. 66 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: You lose six to four, maybe a couple of questionable 67 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: bullpen decisions, but I think that's gonna you know, every 68 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: time you lose a game and the bullpen plays a part, 69 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: there's gonna be question marks about that. 70 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 2: And you know George Kirby going today. 71 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you get to a point where you 72 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: can lose enough games to start a year or like 73 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves did a year ago, by the way, Yeah, 74 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: where you can start to think, Okay, this is kind 75 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: of developing into a big fat hole that we're not 76 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: going to be able to climb out of. But we 77 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: are nowhere near that today, so we'll see what happens tonight. 78 00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: We got a short one. 79 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: We got sweets team basketball, Arizona Purdue, Illinois, Iowa are 80 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: moving on tonight. Maybe the best one of the first 81 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: couple of games here in the Sweet sixteen. 82 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: Saint John's and Duke will go. 83 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: At four to ten taken on the winner of the 84 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: Michigan State Utah game Alabama Michigan Tennessee, Iowa State obviously 85 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: later on this afternoon. But the Tiger Woods thing is 86 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: obviously something people were keeping. 87 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: An eye on. 88 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: Man once again involved in the car crash. They're saying 89 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: he flipped his car, no injuries, he's okay, he blew 90 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: triples arrows and the breathalyzer, but he showed impairment, and 91 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: the police officers on site asked him to submit to 92 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: a you're analysis test and he said no, and so 93 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: they arrested him on suspicion of THEUI. 94 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: So it's kind of becoming a sad thing. 95 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: Where I think a lot more people now Jackson are 96 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: starting to focus on the things that Tiger Woods didn't 97 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: do versus the things that he did do. 98 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: I mean, the guy's won fifteen majors. 99 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: You can argue, at minimum he's the second greatest player 100 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: of all time. Maybe I think he is the greatest 101 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: because I think the competition's that it was fifty years ago. 102 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: But when you think about tiger. 103 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: Woods now, a lot of people are starting to think 104 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: about how he kind of fell apart after beating Roco 105 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: and that playoff at Tory Pines at the US Open, 106 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 1: the car crashes, the personal problems, the issues with obviously 107 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: Elin Nordegren, things like that, things like today. It's a 108 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: tragic story because now more people were talking about what 109 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: he's not doing than what he did do, and that's 110 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: that's disappointing. 111 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 4: It is, I think, I mean a lot of it. 112 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 4: You know, you bring I have to say, bring on yourself. 113 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 4: But really it's sort of the conversation, at least for me, 114 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 4: you know, and my perspective on Tiger Woods is what 115 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 4: could have been? And you know, as I'm kind of 116 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 4: growing up in the heyday of Tiger Woods, it's sort 117 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: of like this guy is going to go on to 118 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 4: be by far the greatest golfer of all time, and 119 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 4: then fast forward to today, it's just like, damn, like that 120 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 4: that dropped off a cliff real quick, and yeah, the 121 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 4: conversation is there. 122 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: But I don't know if it's sad for me. 123 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 4: It's just sort of just like, man, like, why did 124 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 4: you you have to do all of these things xyz 125 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 4: to screw up your career? 126 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: Hire a driver, dude, Yeah, I'm a hire a driver. 127 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he just needs he needs someone there to 128 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: get after him a little bit. I don't know if 129 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: that's his agents. I don't know if that's his you know, 130 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: family or whatever. I mean, obviously his parents are both gone. 131 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: But it's a sad story. So we're keeping an eye 132 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: on that to see where this thing goes. But I 133 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: know a lot of people were looking forward to potentially 134 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: seeing Tiger Woods compete at the Masters. He just played 135 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: Tuesday night in the TGL and they had like a 136 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: million people that tuned in to watch that thing as 137 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: they're playing golf on a freaking simulator for crying out loud, 138 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: A million people tuned in because of Tiger Woods. I 139 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: still think he is still today among the biggest draws 140 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: in sports, even at his age early fifties, doesn't have 141 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: the obviously skill that he used to have. He's not 142 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: gonna go out and start dominating the PGA tour, but 143 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: he still is, no question, one of the biggest draws 144 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: in sports.

The stadium sponsorship is kind of a top 222 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: of my mind because we know that you just got 223 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: done a new deal with Alaska. They're going to continue 224 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: with the basketball arena. But where are we at with 225 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: the football stadium sponsorship? When do you think we'll hear 226 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: some news on a new sponsor for Husky Stadium? 227 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 7: Well, I mean, the nice thing is we're out to 228 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 7: market with it. We've had some really really thoughtful, productive 229 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 7: conversations with with multiple entities, and you know, we're committed 230 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 7: to going through a process and finding the right partner. 231 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 7: I think Alaska is a good example of what a 232 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 7: great partnership looks like on both sides. You know, the 233 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 7: fact that that they wanted to continue our relationship for 234 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 7: another decade and just says speaks volumes of of of 235 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 7: you know, what the two entities have been able to 236 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 7: do together, you know, for the last decade. So there's 237 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 7: no timeline other than this, other than the fact that 238 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 7: we know we need to get it done. But like 239 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 7: I said, we were happy with all the conversations that 240 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 7: we've had, and you know, the world's changed since the 241 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 7: last since since the last time. 242 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 6: We went to market with our stadium. 243 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 7: I mean, as you you know, we're in the Big 244 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 7: ten now, which means, you know, it's the footprint is 245 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 7: a lot bigger than what our old conference was, and 246 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 7: you know, it's it's you know, we've been to the 247 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 7: playoffs a couple of times, and you know, people firmly 248 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 7: understand what the greatest setting in college football is and 249 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 7: that's right here on Mount Lay. 250 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 6: So you know, we're actively doing it. 251 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 7: We're excited about the potential, but you know, obviously we 252 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 7: know we got to get to finish finish line ason 253 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 7: as a game yeah. 254 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: You mentioned no timeline. 255 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: Is there a chance, I know you guys are getting 256 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: new turf at some point right this offseason at Husky Stadium. 257 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: Is there a chance that you could open the year 258 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: without a new sponsor or do you feel like that's 259 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: probably unlikely. 260 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 7: I don't want to put us in a box one 261 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 7: or the other. The goal is always to find the 262 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 7: right sponsor and if it take, whatever time it takes, 263 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 7: it takes. And like I said, I'm very encouraged with 264 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 7: the dialogue we have and to see where we end up. 265 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: Yeah.

Money 316 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 7: is the most important driver right now. But I will 317 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 7: say that the work hasn't changed. I mean, the work 318 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 7: is still and you see it done at the highest level, 319 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 7: share with the coaches we have on our campus is 320 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 7: still trying to get young people to put the team's 321 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 7: goals ahead of individual goals and let that serve as 322 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 7: a lesson and something that helps them for the rest 323 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 7: of their lives, whether it's family, business, community, whatever it 324 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 7: may be.

I remind everyone 325 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 7: how how for a handful of our sports, why people 326 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 7: will choose to come to our campus has changed in 327 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 7: this environment, why they stay has changed. But the work 328 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 7: and what needs to be done and what we're doing 329 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 7: for young people in the form of the stages of 330 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 7: their life really hasn't changed. It's just really really hard 331 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 7: to do, a very different to do than it was, 332 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 7: even like you know, three or four years ago. 333 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: Pat Juhn with us Uwad, We're at Jimmy's on first 334 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: getting ready for a game two of four against the Guardians, 335 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: and Pat this millionaire's tax thing that's being kicked around 336 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: and not not officially official yet but feels like it 337 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: will be. We talked about that a lot and kind 338 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: of how that could potentially impact professional sports. How do 339 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: you think it would maybe negatively potentially impact Colwood sports 340 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: even locally with coaches and players accepting NIL deals from 341 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: other schools that may save them a bit more money 342 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: because the millionaire's tax may not exist there. 343 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: What's your take on that. 344 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 7: Well, it takes away an advantage for us. The timing is, 345 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 7: you know, the timing is tough. If it gets approved 346 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 7: for college sports, i'd argue the timing and stuff for 347 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 7: a city trying to get to get an NBA franchise here, 348 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 7: all these little things do add up and do make 349 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 7: a difference. So you know, I like, it's not an 350 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 7: anomaly to DEVI State Income Tact. You know, a lot 351 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 7: of states have it, but you know, it's one of 352 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 7: those things that you know, you know there you know, 353 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 7: there's so many benefits, uh in terms of living in Seattle, 354 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 7: but there's also a cost of living. And you know, 355 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 7: keep in mind we're in a conference that that's based 356 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 7: and really rooted in the Midwest, so you know, some 357 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 7: of us on the West coast, uh, you know, to 358 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 7: recruit great coaches and great young people to our campus. 359 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 7: You know, it's a different equation than the ship ads, 360 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 7: you know, to the overall you know, wherever we end up. 361 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 7: This is just this is another bearable that we have 362 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 7: to include and how we make decisions. 363 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 5: Right. 364 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: Well, Pat, John's with us, and Pat, I think a 365 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: lot's been made. As you know about the travel in 366 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: the Big Ten. Football not as big a deal because 367 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: you played you know what maybe a couple of games 368 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: a year you know, out there Midwest East Coast. But 369 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: for basketball, that absolutely is having an impact. Are you 370 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: of the opinion that we could see whether sooner or later, 371 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: a regionalization of everything outside of football in the Big 372 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: Ten maybe go back to more West Coast based teams. 373 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: Keep football the way it is, but everything else gets 374 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: a bit of a break. 375 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: When it comes to. 376 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 7: Travel, well, I would say the travel is rigorous. But 377 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 7: on the opposite side of the coin, when you look 378 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 7: at our league and you see national champions in men's soccer, football, 379 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 7: you see what's happening in the men's basketball tournament, the 380 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 7: women's basketball tournament right now. I know there's other schools, 381 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 7: you know, Big ten one in wrestling, Big ten one 382 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 7: in you know, women's I say, I know, there's a 383 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 7: bunch of other sports. But the one by project of 384 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 7: that travel and the quality of this league is, you know, 385 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 7: as our teams go into the postseason, we are battle tested. 386 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 7: And I'll look no further than our men's soccer program. 387 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 7: You know, they were clearly battle tested traveling cross country 388 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 7: by that by the time we got to the ncl 389 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 7: A tournament. To do something no other program had done 390 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 7: in the history of that sport and win that on 391 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 7: the road has a lot to do with Jamie Clark 392 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 7: has more to do with the young men in our uniforms. 393 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 7: But the reality that was a battle tested team that 394 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 7: got put in a pressure cooker and clearly thrived in 395 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 7: that pressure cooker. So that is the one positive in 396 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 7: all this in the highly competitive league where for the 397 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 7: overall health of the sports, Like you know, there's there's 398 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 7: a better way to do it for a handful of sports, 399 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 7: and I think we have to figure that out. But 400 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 7: the problem is there's a better way to do football, 401 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 7: There's a better way to do menz and wos basketball 402 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 7: and us in an industry are nowhere near figuring that out. 403 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 7: And you know, getting those sports in order because of 404 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 7: their impact on revenue has to be is really you know, 405 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 7: the first order type of duty to try to figure out. 406 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: Out Well, I know, I know Coogar fans in Oregon 407 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: State Beaver fans will love this next question because they've 408 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 1: been warning me for years. You're eventually going to regret this. 409 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: You're kind of regret leaving the Pac twelve and going 410 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: to the Big Ten. Are you sensing any regret at 411 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: all from people that you work with at Washington about 412 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: this move? 413 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 7: No, because the college sports has changed and really, I 414 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,239 Speaker 7: mean I've talked about it. 415 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 6: You've talked about it. 416 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 7: You know, the beginning of the end of the PAC 417 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 7: twelve was you know, fifteen years in the making. And 418 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 7: the reality is when the PAC twelve made decisions, strategic 419 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 7: decisions that ultimately failed and put them behind the Big 420 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 7: ten in the SEC. I mean there's a time in 421 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 7: the place where the Big ten and the PAC twelve 422 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 7: or PAC ten at the time were the only two, 423 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 7: were the two schools with the biggest TV contract and 424 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 7: had the Rose Bowls. But time and change and you 425 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 7: put the you got to make you know, and there's 426 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 7: a lot of people involved. 427 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 6: With that, more than commissioners. 428 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 7: So we're college athletics have all evolved to because of 429 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 7: our inability to set rules, because of you know, all 430 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 7: these all these losses, and you know, whether it's the 431 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 7: Supreme Court or state courts or local courts. I mean, 432 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 7: like there aren't really options other than to keep moving forward. 433 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 7: And the way the world is right now is you 434 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 7: have to be in the Big Ten or you have 435 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 7: to be in the Southeastern Conference. And you know, we're 436 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 7: fortunate that we're in the Big Ten Conference. 437 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: Do you think there's a good chance that the Big 438 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: ten the SEC are setting up to break away from 439 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: the NCAA by maybe the end of this decade. 440 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 7: Well I think that's the problem is I don't know 441 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 7: if the law will allow it because no creative monopoly. 442 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 7: So I think I think we just have to be 443 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 7: really smart about you know, I know this. There's you know, 444 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 7: the Score Act is still circulating in Congress that you know, 445 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 7: you know, I know the College afth ice has been 446 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 7: working for you know, really the better part of half 447 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 7: this last decade to try to get congressional help, and 448 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 7: it just hasn't happened. And I just know this that 449 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 7: this current environment that we're in, you know is I 450 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 7: would hate using the word isn't sustainable. It's broken and 451 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 7: it keeps breaking even for there and we're going to 452 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 7: have to wrap our brains around like how do we 453 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 7: have a how do we have an environment that is 454 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 7: that is, you know, conducive for long term health. Like 455 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 7: look at you know, major League Baseball is you know, 456 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 7: everybody knows in twenty seven when they're CBA expires, there's, 457 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 7: god of there's probably gonna be a long lockout, right 458 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 7: and they're they're they're trending we're trending to where they're 459 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 7: at where there's a couple of major spenders, but you 460 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 7: also need opponents to play and there's got to be 461 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 7: something that that you know, and you know you're going 462 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 7: to be in a rock and a hard place, and 463 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 7: you know, we're we're an industry that's kind of in 464 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 7: a rock and a hard place because we don't really 465 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 7: have the legal authority to do what we want to do. 466 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 7: So then you've got to figure out what do we 467 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 7: what can we do, and how do we make this 468 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 7: thing work? And that's you know, that's really the challenge 469 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 7: that we've all been working on at Washington and at 470 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 7: the Big Ten. 471 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Pat John's with us, you dow Ad and uh, look, 472 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: I mean there's been a lot of obviously conversations in 473 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: the Big Ten about this personal equity deal and I 474 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: don't know where it is right now. I've been told 475 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: it's been put on hold. I mean, if you want 476 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: to fill us in on where that's at, that's great. 477 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: But then there's these reports that there's going to be 478 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: three tiers and that Washington's going to be in Tier three, 479 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: taking less than the Oregon Ducks, for example, USC somebody 480 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: could stop you on the street and say, Pat, why 481 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: would Washington ever agree to anything that gives them a 482 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: smaller cut than Oregon. 483 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 2: What would you say to them? 484 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 7: Well that I would sell on that that that was 485 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 7: a investment partner in the Big ten and it's not 486 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 7: going to happen. And I would also say that I 487 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 7: was never in the camp that it was going to happen, 488 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 7: because you could sense that there was always going to 489 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 7: be at least one school that wasn't going to that 490 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 7: wasn't wasn't going to agree with it. And to their credit, 491 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 7: they were very transparent about that, right, Uh, and it's 492 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 7: and and so you know, I don't, I don't. I 493 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 7: was always very very measured when talking about it because 494 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 7: I just felt like, I think it just you just 495 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 7: knew that it was always going to be a big 496 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 7: hill toply, like anything, we have a responsibility to try 497 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 7: to figure out how to bridge this half share gap. 498 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 7: Are half share gap is very different than the other 499 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 7: school that went in and a half share simply because 500 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 7: of I don't know the most politically way is the 501 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 7: best way to say it, but they have to night 502 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 7: we don't this the best way to say it. So 503 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 7: I mean as we looked at it, we we we 504 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 7: saw you know that with the president.

I would 643 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 4: expect those numbers and get back to where they were 644 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 4: but it's one of those things where we're expecting a 645 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 4: lot of these guys softie who were hurt last year 646 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 4: to go back to their normal numbers, to go back 647 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 4: to their healthy ways. 648 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 3: And you know, that's really what a lot of the 649 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 3: World Series hopes rely on. 650 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, no doubt. 651 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they had obviously so many guys that missed 652 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: about twenty twenty five starts a year ago. And that's 653 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: the crazy thing is that with all the injuries to 654 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 1: Gilbert and Miller and Bryce Miller excuse me, Brian wu, 655 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: they still won ninety games, right. I mean, if these 656 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: guys can look no pitching staff, it's ever fair. I 657 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: think going into a year to say, hey, you guys 658 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: better stay healthy, that's stupid to have everybody make thirty 659 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: two starts or thirty plus starts apiece. 660 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 2: You're gonna have guys misstarts. 661 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: But the fact that they had so many dudes misgame 662 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: games last year and they still won ninety They actually 663 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: were pretty good in those games that all those guys missed. 664 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: They Harvard right around five hundred if not over five 665 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: hundred last season when those guys weren't there. So I mean, 666 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people like to bag on 667 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: Logan Evans and Luis tef Castillo and guys like that, 668 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: but they were pretty freaking good. Dude, when those guys 669 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: missed games last year, I don't want to count on 670 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: that again. 671 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 2: That's the whole point. 672 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to sit here and say, well, we're 673 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: gonna be fine, because I don't think they have the 674 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: depth they used to have in their starting rotation. Man, 675 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: they got a couple of guys obviously in the miners. 676 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: You know, obviously Kate Anderson might be closer because he's 677 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: older because he played college baseball, But I don't feel 678 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: like they have that major league ready depth in the 679 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: miners like they maybe had a couple of years ago. 680 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 4: It's a good point because there are key players. There's 681 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 4: key guys that you want to see make an impact. 682 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 4: But it isn't like, you know, there's like six seven 683 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 4: guys who you say, yeah, they're gonna be able to 684 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 4: be depth and role players on this team. 685 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 3: We don't have that. 686 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 4: But at the same time, like you know, I was 687 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 4: a my chiropracted this morning and he was like, when 688 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 4: are we going to see cold Emerson this year? When 689 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 4: are we going to see that picture? From LSU this year, 690 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 4: and it's sort of like there's those guys where even 691 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 4: your your casual fans are like, yeah, that's a star 692 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 4: in the making. 693 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: And I want to see him at some point. 694 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 3: But yeah, you're right, there's not that depth. 695 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I don't need to see those guys 696 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: anytime soon. I just want to see him when they're ready, right. 697 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sitting here saying, you know, let's 698 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,959 Speaker 1: get Kate Anderson called up a sap or cold Emerson 699 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: called up asap. I mean, obviously what's going to go 700 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: on with JP Crawford and Leo Revos and Cole Young 701 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: and all those guys. I mean, cold Emerson's gonna get 702 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: caught up when he's good and freaking ready. So you 703 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: tell your chiropractor to calm down, right, I mean Cole Young, 704 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: excuse me, cold Emerson at a home run today for 705 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: the Rainiers, by the way, opening day for Tacoma. 706 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 2: But that's what happens when you get in trouble. 707 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: Like people that have been following this baseball team for 708 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: a long time, remember when they rushed Mike Zanino, you know, 709 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: up to the major leagues and he wasn't ready and 710 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: they just you know, they had no catchers and they 711 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: had no choice. 712 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 2: That's not what this franchise is doing anymore. 713 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: They're not doing stupid crap like they were doing fifteen 714 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: to twenty years ago. I mean, they've got depth a 715 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: little bit, you know, at some of these spots. 716 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 2: They don't need to rush the kids up there. But 717 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 2: here's what we got. 718 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: We got college basketball coming up in a matter of minutes, 719 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: Saint John's Duke game, number one of today's Sweet Sixteen. 720 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna get the Michigan State Yukon winner, Alabama, Michigan, Tennessee, 721 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: Iowa State, Arizona, Purdue already in in the West, Illinois 722 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: and Iowa are gonna fight. 723 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: Off for a trip to the Final four. 724 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: I think Arizona and Purdue that game intrigues me a 725 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: little bit because I think Arizona might just blast him 726 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: out of the water. 727 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 2: By the way, Arizona looks like a juggernaut right now. 728 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: But the Saint John's Duke game that we're gonna hear 729 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes from now, Man, this really 730 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: feels like the game of the tournament so far. Because 731 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: everybody is jumping on Patino's wagon. Calling him the goat. 732 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: They're living in the moment recency bias. He's the greatest 733 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: of all time and now he's gonna take on the 734 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: Duke Machine. If he can get by Duke tonight, there's 735 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of people Jackson picking Saint Johnson 736 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:58,479 Speaker 1: win the whole freaking thing. 737 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 4: They will, and I think they already. But I would 738 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 4: say on Duke, Duke is not looking like the machine 739 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 4: Duke one. It was not only the injuries, but that's 740 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 4: a team that was down by a bunch against Siena. 741 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 2: The sixteen in the first round. 742 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 4: I mean Sienna had him by about ten points for 743 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 4: a good thirty minutes of that game. That Duke machine 744 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 4: does not look So I would view this Saint John's game, 745 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 4: and we already knew five seed was low for Saint John's. 746 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 4: So Douke, are they even looking like a one seed? 747 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 4: Not even this should be a fifty to fifty type 748 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 4: game at night? 749 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 2: Did you? 750 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: By the way, see speaking of CINA, just see who 751 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: they just hired as their new head coach. 752 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 2: I did. 753 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 3: How about how about our good old friend Mike going 754 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 3: back there. 755 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 2: Mike Hopkins is the new coach at CNN. 756 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: I also saw a stat where Arizona Purdue Illinois Iowa. 757 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: Iowa is playing for their first trip to the Final 758 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,959 Speaker 1: four since they went to the Final four with Loudelson. 759 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: Arizona is playing for their first trip since they went 760 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: to the Final four also with loud Olson.
