Speaker 2: Ryan Lemon, nineteen twenty two. This has existed since then.

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: There was an ice storm. They redid it just a

23
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: few years ago. And what a cool facility in a

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: small town in Kentucky. One of the cooler ones I've

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: been to.

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: We talked about it. You know, everybody, every community's got

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: the movie theater and you walk in and you just

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: feel as soon as you walk in something really special.

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: And what they've done with this, they have elevated day

Speaker 3: They've got lights, sound system, big concert venue now as well.

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: So it's one of the newest entertainment venues in the state.

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: That's also one of the oldest. This used to be

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: a movie theater and they now have plays. They had

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,800

00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: Place like this, Yeah, me too.

40
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 5: I mean, this is like something you might find in

41
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 5: a big city in Kentucky. You know, it kind of

42
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 5: reminds me of the Mercury Ballroom a little bit. Yeah, yeah,

43
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 5: and uh, you know, I'm looking forward to just playing

44
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 5: here later on tonight. We've never played a theater before

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 5: like that.

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: So you're playing here tonight, right. It was with Alice

47
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: Blue Gawns, So this will be like full of of

48
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: all of your fans. Here are you looking forward to?

49
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 4: I'm really excited about it.

50
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 5: You never played a theater, No, we played amphitheaters, but

51
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 5: never anything quite like this. The cool thing about this

52
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 5: Benue I was saying earlier, you know you got the

53
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 5: renovated part, but then they also left you know, some

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 5: of the old part too, so you get a little

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 5: bit of the history with this building.

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 2: I like it. That is a that's a good combination. Well,

57
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: Ryan got up this morning, came down here to Somerset.

58
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: I was thinking about the towns we've done the most

59
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: remotes in. If SOMEMR sets outside of Lexton Louisville, if

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: it's not first, it's in the top three. I would think.

61
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: Over the years, I knew Bob and Jamestown would be

62
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: here and there. He is. My mom would say, Hey,

63
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: be nice to Bob while you're there, so I'll do

64
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: my best Bob before I before I leave.

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: He hasn't taken a phone call yet.

66
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: If you take a phone call, you're out. I'm kicking

67
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: you out if you take a phone call. Last night,

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: I was at cas bar. You know, we've started the

69
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: renovation process. We were down there rolling up our sleeves

70
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: some work. Yeah, we're not ready to have you yet.

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: We need to have a we need to have a

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: direction before we let you watch everything. But it was

73
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: very night. We got some big, big changes coming, and

74
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: we also realized we're gonna use some of our listeners

75
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: for part of it. We're gonna ask for volunteers, for

76
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: people to do things. I'm not gonna say what it

77
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: is yet, but so we were doing that all last night.

78
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: I'm excited about it. Really, We're gonna come back bigger

79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: and better than ever, just in time for football season

80
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 3: when everybody.

81
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: Cross your fingers shit. And we know that some of

82
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: the things may take a little more work, as they

83
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: probably know here than we thought, but we'll make it happen.

84
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: You mentioned Somerset. We've been to Gaddies a lot all

85
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: the Don Franklin's down here. But this is the biggest

86
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: crowd I think we've ever had Somerset.

87
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no doubt. So we appreciate it. All right,

88
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: So let's go over some some UK news to start

89
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: the day. Basketball team all here, but two people, uh

90
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: Mohammed Diabat and Yellovich are the only players not here.

91
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: They've already started workouts. They did like little welcome videos

92
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: for each player where the coaches were standing there with

93
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 2: them and they said, we're ready to go get number nine.

94
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,239
Speaker 2: My it was interesting watching them. The guys all Shannon

95
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: seem very nervous. I think, I think this is gonna

96
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: be a group that they're all a little nervous for.

97
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: I think even they realize how much our fan base

98
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: can be. If you watch the videos, there's some like.

99
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: Kind of like the first day of school vibes.

100
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and like and you know, cause I

101
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: mean there if you play basketball at Pitt like Jay

102
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: and Lowe, you're used to nobody knows who you are, right,

103
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 2: even jaydan Quaintans at Arizona State. I mean they don't,

104
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: you know, they're games, Nobody really cares. This is gonna

105
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: be a different kind of thing. But I do like

106
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: the way the basketball team. If you go online, you

107
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: get introduced to all of the guys over the last

108
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: few days.

109
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 3: It is kind of cool. I'm really glad they're doing that.

110
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 3: We kind of get to know him a little bit

111
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: more as a person and get to recognize him a

112
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: little bit when the're around town. But we only heard

113
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: the guys last year a Mario and Lamant Butler talked

114
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 3: about they had no idea until they went that first

115
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 3: exhibition game. In this exhibition game, they had more people

116
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 3: there than the normal games that got during the regular

117
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 3: season last year.

118
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: Mario was complaining on the way down here this morning,

119
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: he wrote with me. He was complaining about Jayden Quaint's hair.

120
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: He's gonna He's gonna do all he can to try

121
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 2: to get his hair cut. He's got his hair like

122
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: almost over his eyes when he tries to play.

123
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: Maybe, oh way, you know, can take him to his barbering.

124
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: No way, it's completely gone. But as I was looking

125
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: at them coming, I wanted to compare it to Mark's

126
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 2: story of the Harald Leader, who I think has done

127
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 2: a great job recently. He did the all uh the

128
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: all UK mit Order century team, so the best team

129
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: at Kentucky like for the last twenty five years, and

130
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: he gave his starting lineup. So I want you all

131
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: right now, I'll start with you, mister history. Here. If

132
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: you were to do from two thousand to twenty twenty

133
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: five your UK all time starting lineup, let's see if

134
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: you get the same thing. I pretty much agree with

135
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: what Mark has, although I might quibble with one thing.

136
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: Who would be in your starting lineup? And he doesn't

137
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: by position? So who would be your starting point guard?

138
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: I think you would have to go just for what

139
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 3: he meant to the program, John Wall.

140
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty pretty clear, John Wall. You could

141
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: make a case for maybe Tyler Ulysz, maybe Brandon Night,

142
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: but I think it has to be John Wall. So

143
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: that's an easy one. I think the center's probably pretty easy.

144
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: Who you putting at center?

145
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: Probably DeMarcus Anthony Davis.

146
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 3: I mean, oh, Anthony Davis.

147
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: Did you just hear him?

148
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

149
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: He hosts a University of Kentucky show. You just put

150
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: DeMarcus over Anthony Davis.

151
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 5: I hadn't even thought Anthony No, no, no, no, no, right, he's

152
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 5: better overall than I am.

153
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: How could you not? Anthony Davis is the first one.

154
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: I'll gonna put in at the four spot.

155
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 2: Well, you're wrong. So he's at the center, all right now?

156
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: He has the two, the three, and the four. And

157
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: I think this some people would think these are controversial picks.

158
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: I'd be what do you think. I'm not gonna tell

159
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: you what he has first? Who is your two, three

160
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: and four?

161
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 3: Keith Bogan's at the two, Tayshawn Prince at the three

162
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: and the four. I would probably try to throw Julius

163
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: Randall in there.

164
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: Julius Randall, Okay, not what about you? What would your two? Three? And?

165
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 5: I like, actually what he says there, Julius Randall at

166
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 5: the four. Tayshawn Prince has got to be in there.

167
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Keith Bogan is the leading scoring guard in UK history.

168
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 2: He is, Yeah, you're gonna put Keith in there.

169
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: I'm a Jody Meeks.

170
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: That's a good one. That's a good one. All right.

171
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: Well here's what here's what marks Okay, he has the

172
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: two guard Keith Bogans. I think a lot of people

173
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: might be surprised to have Keith Bogans at the two.

174
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: I'm with you, highest scoring guard in UK history. People

175
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: in this room a lot of you know, the two

176
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: thousand and three team, in my opinion, the most underrated

177
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: team in UK history. When that team was rolling, nobody

178
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: better and the only reason they lost is because Keith Bogans.

179
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: If Keith Bogans doesn't get hurt, they win it. Tayshawn

180
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: Prince is at the small forward for him, and then

181
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: they put the four. I think he's cheating a little

182
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: bit with this one, Shannon, because I don't think this

183
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 2: guy's a true four. But he puts Oscar Sheebwey and

184
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: power forward.

185
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 4: You think that's cheating.

186
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: I don't think you could play Oscar and Anthony Davis together.

187
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 5: Great, I mean, the greatest rebounder of our time, but

188
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: I don't think he belongs on the list.

189
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: What do you think if nothing else, I would flip him.

190
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: May play Oscar at the five and the nanthy is

191
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: at the four if you're gonna play those two guys.

192
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: Now, the controversial picks he picks is the best sixth

193
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: man Darius Miller. Now, if you're just talking about men

194
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: as sixth man, like did they play as the sixth

195
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: man on their team? I could be convinced that to

196
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: put Darius Miller there But if you didn't do that, Ryan,

197
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: I don't think you would have Darius Man. But he

198
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: has Darius Miller as the sixth man. I think that's

199
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: a UK Homer pick, like a State of Kentucky Homer pick.

200
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: Would you do it?

201
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: But if you're picking truly who if he was a

202
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: sixth man at Kentucky, he may be the best sixth

203
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: man of the past twenty five years.

204
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 5: National championship team I think has a lot to do

205
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 5: with that too.

206
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 4: Probably any beam for me? Yeah, all right?

207
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: Now here is his second team? All right? Who would

208
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: your second team point guard be? Tyler Ewis? Is his

209
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: second team point guard? You already mentioned your second team

210
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: shooting guard Joe Meeks. Yep, he's on there, all right?

211
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: Small forward, power forward, and center? This is I think

212
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: you'd get a lot of different answers on this. What's

213
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: your who's your small forward? Power forward? Center? Second team?

214
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: I guess I'm picking Carl as my center.

215
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: Over DeMarcus who you had first team.

216
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, DeMarcus, you've already bumped.

217
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: He's already bumped DeMarcus from first team to not on

218
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: the team.

219
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, boy, the four is what's so hard? I've

220
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: already said Julius Patrick Patterson. I may go with Patrick Patterson.

221
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 2: Would you you would take Julius Randall though, right?

222
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: If you had him on my first team?

223
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: Oh? So, then you're not gonna put Oscar she Way. No, okay,

224
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: you know what, Evenway was National player of the Year.

225
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: You're not gonna put the National player of the Year

226
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: on the team.

227
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I got it. I gotta put him on.

228
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: The team, all right? Uh what about you? Uh?

229
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: As as the four four h Terrence Jones, he has

230
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: Chuck Hayes.

231
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: You gonna scare you love Chuck Hayes. I'm surprised you

232
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: don't have him there.

233
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: He was awesome. But if I'm gonna pick somebody better

234
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: that I gotta go with somebody better.

235
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

236
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: I mean I love Chuck Hay's more than I love

237
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: these other guys. I gotta pick a better player.

238
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Yeah, if I'm gonna pick somebody better, I

239
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: gotta put somebody better. All right. He has this center,

240
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 2: Willie cally Stein. Would you take Willie cally Stein over

241
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: DeMarcus Cousins in Carl Towns. No, No, I probably will

242
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: Cory Stein First Team All American? Those guys were not.

243
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and maybe some of that's because of how great

244
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 5: Carl is in the NBA. You know, it's a little

245
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 5: bit of that recency bias just watching him play for

246
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 5: the Knicks. But I think I would still take Carl

247
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 5: Anthony Town's over Willie.

248
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: Willie's accolades, though, are better than anybody of the Cali

249
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: era just about.

250
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: I think that's one of the things about like, when

251
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: you're trying to figure out Willie and Oscar, you want

252
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: to put DeMarcus in Carl Town's ahead of him, but

253
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: Willy and Oscar have much better credentials. Yes, So there

254
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: you go. And then he has his final small forward,

255
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: Michael Kidd Gilchrist. Would you put Michael kit Gilchrist's second

256
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: team as your small forward?

257
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: That's not a bad pick. I mean, he did win

258
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 3: a national championship with numberwo pick in the draft. I

259
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 3: think you'd have to go like that.

260
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: And he has his second team all sixth man, and

261
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: I know no one in this room is going to

262
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: disagree with this readship, which makes me thinking, yeah, see

263
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: collapse right there. You got to read Shepherd Jersey on

264
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 2: would you put so he's got Darius Miller and Reed

265
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: Shepherd as his two six men. I think probably an

266
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: ode to having kids from Kentucky.

267
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: And it just makes me mad you mentioned Reachevard being

268
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: a sixth man. Should have started the whole season. We've

269
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: met a much better year if you'd just start the man.

270
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: But the man, well, all right, the Houston Rockets, by

271
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: the way, announced for people because you know Reid didn't

272
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: play a whole lot this year that he would. He

273
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: would be playing a lot more minutes next year, so

274
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: that's good for him.

275
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: Well, and when he got his chance, he really played really,

276
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: really well. But you're get in the playoffs, he's tough

277
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 3: to get h minutes on the on the floor. That

278
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 3: group the head.

279
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: And speaking of playoffs, if you watch the KNICKT Pacers game,

280
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: our guys shinning. Cason Wallace, a dude who you know,

281
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: I think he's often gets forgotten, is a guy who

282
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: played here. I'm still mad that Cow wouldn't make him

283
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: the point guard that year and had Severe Wheelers a

284
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: boy guard, it should have been Cason Wallace. Yea, we

285
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: would have been a lot better if Cason Wallace was

286
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 2: a point guard. He starts in an NBA Finals game.

287
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: I mean that that to me is unbelievable.

288
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 5: One thing about Caliperio, though, he brought in so much talent,

289
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 5: and some of these guys just kind of got lost

290
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: in the shuffle, got lost in the mix, and you

291
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 5: kind of forget about him. Cason Wallace is one of

292
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 5: those guys, but now is just thriving in the NBA.

293
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: Start. If I had told you that Cason Wallace in

294
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: year what is it three in the NBA is year

295
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: two two or three three? That he would start in

296
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. Remember, there were times cow didn't start

297
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: him here. There were times he did not start here,

298
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: and he is starting in the NBA Finals.

299
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: I remember when the went to the Thunder. I remember

300
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: thinking of myself, he's never gonna play. He's playing behind Shay,

301
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: He's never on the floor. Then he became like the

302
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 3: first guard off the bench. And it seems start last

303
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: night just credit to him how hard he's worked to

304
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:48,599
Speaker 3: get to that level.

305
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: The starting backcourt for the team. I know they lost

306
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: last night, and we'll talk about it. I still think

307
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: they're gonna end up winning the title. The starting Oh

308
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: wait a minute, you got pacers Jersey on you made

309
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: a disagree with me. Pacers ever I let's assume though,

310
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: they come back and win. The starting backcourt. Shit, yeah,

311
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: just think about this for a minute. The starting backcourt

312
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: for the NBA champion is gonna be two guys who,

313
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: at times at UK didn't start. You want to get

314
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: frustrated with cow substitution pattern. The starting backcourt, one of

315
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: whom is the MVP when they first came to Kentucky

316
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: didn't even start. He told me this shot that is

317
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: extremely frusta.

318
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 5: I would end up winning an NBA title before they

319
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 5: would win a college title, before.

320
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: They would win a college SEC tournament game.

321
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: That's true. I told you you're crazy. But yet here we.

371
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,000

Speaker 2: Yeah, you were giving us a little bit of the

373
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: stink guy. One person writes, Uh, Matt, I had a

374
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: bet with my friend whether or not you would lead

375
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: the show with Trump and Elon today. You didn't I

376
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: win the bet. I mean, I'm not saying I told

377
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: you so. Yeah, I told you so. Yep.

378
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 4: I think we all knew how this was going to end.

379
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: I said it was like if Louisville fans when Caliperi

380
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: and Stoops were fighting with each other, and that's how

381
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: how they had to have loved it that they were

382
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: fighting with each other. That's how I was yesterday. I promise,

383
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people in here don't agree

384
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 2: with me on this, so I'll just let it go

385
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 2: in a second, but I do have to take one

386
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: day of going. I did enjoy them going after each

387
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: other yesterday. When two people you don't like fight, that

388
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 2: makes me happy.

389
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 3: Shannon and I had our own little side bet. We

390
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: thought you'd lead with that. Also, because you can tell

391
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: by your tweets you're kind of enjoying the back of

392
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: poor Joy.

393
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: I was like all afternoon, I was like, Okay, what's

394
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: the next thing they're gonna say about each other? I did.

395
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 2: It was inevitable, but I enjoyed watching it.

396
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 4: We got I'm so proud of you. Got twenty minutes

397
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 4: into the show before.

398
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: You mentioned that stuff. First, I was ready, Yeah.

399
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: You got somebody.

400
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 5: You two guys like that, with all that power and

401
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 5: all that money, you realize that it's not gonna go.

402
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: They can't coexist.

403
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: I want if you have a chance this weekend, if

404
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 2: you care about college sports, and I think everybody here

405
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: that is here does care about college sports. Y'all got

406
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: to take a chance a second to listen. I did

407
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: a podcast yesterday which is on the Matt Jones Show

408
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 2: Feed with Ross Dellinger, and I think I've said to

409
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 2: you all, if you want to, this is the most

410
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: important summer in college sports history. Not just history, but

411
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: going forward. What happens this summer is going to decide

412
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: what college sports looks like probably for the next fifteen

413
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: or twenty years. There's the House settlement that's gonna be

414
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: decided by July. First, that's about how players do rev share.

415
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: There's the question of whether or not they're gonna pass

416
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: a bill in Congress, which a lot of this stuff

417
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: that's happening right now with Trump and all that that

418
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: will affect that. And then there is the once this

419
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: twenty million dollars starts getting shared, how's it gonna work.

420
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 2: So I had Ross Dellinger on my podcast. Ross is

421
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: the person who knows the most about this. His wife

422
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 2: actually works in politics, which is part how he gets

423
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: his connection on all this. He's on there. We talked

424
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: for like forty five minutes. You can listen to it,

425
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: y'alla listen this weekend. But he said a lot of

426
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: things that are interesting and people should listen to all

427
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: of it. But let me give you a couple of

428
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: the short ones. First of all, he said schools can

429
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: spend twenty one million dollars, but Roz said, there are

430
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: schools who can't afford to spend that, and they're going

431
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: to be schools who don't who are not able to

432
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: spend the twenty one million dollars. And I'm talking about

433
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: big schools, schools in the ACC, schools in the Big

434
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 2: twelve just not gonna be able to spend it, so

435
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: that's gonna hurt them. He then said that what we've

436
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: talked about on this show, how schools are gonna the

437
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: programs in the school are gonna be fighting each other

438
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: for who gets what chunk of money, he said, is

439
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: already happened it and he gave like a little piece

440
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: of news that I thought was interesting. The SEC wanted

441
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: to make it we're out of the twenty one million dollars.

442
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 2: It was set in stone how much each program got,

443
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 2: so Shannon, they wanted to say football gets fourteen million,

444
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 2: basketball gets three million, women's basketball gets like one point five,

445
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: et cetera, and they were gonna and then baseball gets half,

446
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 2: et cetera. They said the loudest voice of dissension in

447
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: the room was Kentucky basketball. That Kentucky basketball did not

448
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: want to have a cap of the three million dollars,

449
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 2: and because Kentucky Basketball complained so much, they did not

450
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: set caps on the teams, essentially saying to each college,

451
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: you can distribute the money how you want. I find

452
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: that interesting shit because if Kentucky basketball was the one complaining,

453
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: that means Kentucky basketball is gonna get more than three

454
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: million dollars, which also means Kentucky football is going to

455
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 2: get less than the other schools in the SEC. I

456
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: don't think i'd heard anybody say that. Till Ross said

457
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 2: it to me on my podcast yesterday. You need to listen.

458
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: He does a longer clip on it. But that's really

459
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: interesting to me because if you're the football staff and

460
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: you know, not only do you have to play in

461
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: the SEC, but you're going to have less money than

462
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: the other schools in the SEC, you gotta wonder how

463
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: they're gonna how they're gonna handle it.

464
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, if you're a mark stupis, you're fighting

465
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 5: for every dollar that you can get. But you know,

466
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 5: a lot of these schools are gonna have to decide

467
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 5: what's more important to us.

468
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 4: Is it basketball or is it football.

469
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 5: If you're a basketball school, you're gonna obviously want more

470
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 5: in IO money in for basketball. If you're football, you're

471
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 5: gonna go to you know, more in IOL for football.

472
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: So it's gonna be interesting to see how these schools

473
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 5: divide it.

474
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: Ross said he thinks schools in the SEC have basically

475
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 2: said we're gonna do football, basketball, and then we're gonna

476
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: pick one more sport to be good at, and every

477
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: school is going to figure out what that sport is.

478
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: And he thinks some of them are gonna be baseball,

479
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: like LSU and Mississippi State. He thinks some of them

480
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: are gonna be women's basketball, like South Carolina. And then

481
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: he said, for schools like Kentucky, they probably have to

482
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: choose do we want to be really good at women's

483
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 2: basketball or do we want to be really good at baseball?

484
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 2: And the question is ryan which one will we gonna choose?

485
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 3: You're right, a lot of schools baseball is very important,

486
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 3: more important. A lot of times than their basketball team is.

487
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: So I can see them give you more money to baseball.

488
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: And also softball. Yeah, there are schools that will that

489
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 2: will Oklahoma will probably pick softball as the one they

490
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 2: do so. I but to hear this is a national

491
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: reporter said the SEC's entire structure of how they're gonna

492
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: play players was changed because Kentucky basketball basically said we

493
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: don't want to have a cap on how much we get.

494
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: I think that's awesome for Kentucky basketball, but it does

495
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 2: make me wonder if the Kentucky football people are gonna

496
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 2: be like, you just.

497
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 4: Just come on out to say something here.

498
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: That'll be really interesting to see. Eight five nine twenty

499
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: two eighty seven. Couple up in lines, give us a shout.

500
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: We're here in Somerset. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. It

501
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: is Kentucky Sports Radio.

502
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 3: Eight.

503
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, Nah,

504
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: we'll go to the phone here and just sega text

505
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.

506
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 2: I know on paper this isn't interesting, but the Dallas Stars,

507
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: the hockey team, just fired their coach. That means Shannon

508
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 2: In the NBA, the Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau. In hockey,

509
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: they fired the Dallas Stars fired their coach. Two people

510
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 2: who went to the final four in their sports both

511
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: fired the year they went to the final four. Would

512
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: you fire a coach who just took you to the

513
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 2: final four in your sport? Both in both basketball and hockey.

514
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: Somebody's done that this year.

515
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 4: No, especially not the Knicks.

516
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 5: I mean a team that hasn't been really that great

517
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 5: and since when the nineties, it's the last time that

518
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 5: they were, you know, that far into the playoffs.

519
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 4: So no, there's no way I would have fire.

520
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: Can you imagine a college basketball coach getting fired after

521
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: making the final four?

522
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 5: I mean, who apparently was the front office that didn't

523
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 5: like the lineup that he was putting out there. He

524
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 5: was experimenting with the lineups and the playoffs. They didn't

525
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 5: like that, so they fire him. But I'm like, he

526
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 5: got you this, thank.

527
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: You this far. I don't know what else you can want.

528
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: Are you had a question for me about the revenue thing?

529
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: And I think it's something other people will ask too, Ryan,

530
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: What is it you know?

531
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 3: At its core? I am a reporter?

532
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: Are you so?

533
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: What I would like to know from you?

534
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: I don't think that's true.

535
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 3: But Okay, if Kentucky opts to give more money to

536
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: UK basketball, yes, does that money have to come from

537
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: the UK football allotment?

538
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: Yes? So I mean, let let's lose this table of

539
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 2: four people right here, right there's four of you. Let's

540
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: say you represent the four sports, the four major sports, football, basketball,

541
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: women's basketball, baseball. Let's say that you make those four.

542
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 2: I've got twenty one dollars to split amongst you all,

543
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: and I can decide what I want to do. The

544
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: SEC wanted to make sure that Okay, you're football, you're

545
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 2: getting fourteen, you're basketball, you're getting three. Blah blah blah

546
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 2: blah blah. Kentucky Basketball said, don't do that, which means

547
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: if Kentucky basketball gets five, that other two's got to

548
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: come from somebody. It's got to come from somebody. And

549
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: women's basketball and baseball can only be cut so much,

550
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 2: which means it's got to come from football. So if

551
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: you decide to give basketball more, you are inherently cutting

552
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: from football. And here's the other thing you have to

553
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: worry about. I talked about this the other day. Every

554
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 2: power school can spend twenty one million dollars. Now, Shannon,

555
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 2: they don't have to spend it, but they can't. All right,

556
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: So I just said what Kentucky has. Now, you're sitting

557
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: by yourself here. You know who you are. You're Saint

558
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: John's cause you don't have a football program and you

559
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: don't have a women's basketball program. That's good. So Saint

560
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 2: John's can say, I can spend twenty one million dollars,

561
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonta spend it all on basketball because they don't

562
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: have to share it.

563
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 4: Good.

564
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: So Saint John's think about the teams that have a

565
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: football team, Saint John's, Villanova, Connecticut, Gonzaga, those schools. Now,

566
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: they may not be able to raise the twenty one

567
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: million dollars, but if they can, Shannon, they could, in theory,

568
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 2: spend it all on basketball. And I think Kentucky's premise is,

569
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: we don't want to only have three million dollars and

570
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: be recruiting against Rick up in New York, who's got

571
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: twenty million dollars. We have to be able to be flexible. Now,

572
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: Ross said, hey, Kentucky can make some of that up

573
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: with collectives, but not the whole thing. So that's why

574
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 2: they want to have that flexibility.

575
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 5: So if you're Kentucky, then how would you divide this up?

576
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 5: I've got a number in my mind. I want to say,

577
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 5: if you Mitch Barnhart.

578
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: Mitch Barnhart is and this is why this summer is

579
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: so important. Mitch Barnhart is going to make a decision literally,

580
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 2: he's probably making it right now about how they're going

581
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 2: to divide that up. And in my opinion, it will

582
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: tell the country what Kentucky's priorities are going to be.

583
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 2: Do they like, you're going to be making a statement

584
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 2: as to whether or not what matters to you. And

585
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: I don't know how you do it right. And let's

586
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: say you were Mitch Bornhard, how would you grovide it up? Yeah,

587
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 2: you're gonna got twenty million dollars. Let's just assume Sorry interrupt,

588
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: but let's just assume women's basketball, baseball, softball, they're gonna

589
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: take three million. So I've given you seventeen million dollars.

590
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 2: The rest of the SEC is gonna do fourteen football,

591
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: three basketball. What are you gonna do?

592
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 3: That's that's tough because you got to compete against those

593
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: other schools that are given fourteen million. You're gonna go

594
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 3: to Mark students tell them, Hey, I'm gonna give you

595
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 3: two million less than all the other schools are getting

596
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 3: the SEC.

597
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do?

598
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 3: But we're basketball, We're Kentucky. Basketball is what's important to

599
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: most of us. I think we got to invest in basketball.

600
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: So what are you gonna do?

601
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 3: I go five to basketball, twelve to football.

602
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: Five to basketball, twelve to football. What are you gonna do?

603
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 5: No, I had a completely different number in mind. I

604
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 5: was gonna go what you're saying, you're taking away to

605
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 5: three million. I would probably go like nine million to basketball. Really,

606
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean we're a basketball school.

607
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: So you're gonna do nine basketball eight football. You're gonna

608
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: give our football team half the budget of the rest

609
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 2: of the SEC?

610
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 4: Yes? Are we a basketball school or a football school?

611
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 4: It goes back to the calip of years ago.

612
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so to play your case, you don't think

613
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 2: Duke's gonna do something like that, Sure, I mean, Duke's

614
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 2: just gonna sacrifice there. I'm just gonna gass. Duke's just

615
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 2: gonna sacrifice their football program. They're gonna say it was

616
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: nice having you, Duke, But we're a basketball program. Kansas

617
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: is probably just gonna sacrifice their football program. They're probably

618
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: gonna say, you know what, We're Kansas whatever. North Carolina

619
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: is gonna try to do both. They hired Bill Belichick.

620
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: They didn't hire Bill Belichick to give him half the money.

621
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: So the question is, Ryan, is Kentucky more like Kansas

622
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: and Duke or are we more like North Carolina, Michigan,

623
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: et cetera, trying to be good at both? What are

624
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: we gonna do? Because I think Kentucky's in the weirdest

625
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: position of all. I'm the athletic director at Kansas and Duke,

626
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: I'm saying football was nice, knowing you see you later.

627
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: And if I'm North Carolina and I've just hired Bill Belichick,

628
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: I can't just scrap football. But Kentucky's kind of in

629
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: the middle, and I don't really know what they do right.

630
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, cause just a couple years ago we were knocking

631
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: on the door with Michigan State North Carolina, and now

632
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: the last couple of years maybe not so. But we

633
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: built that. We got ourselves up to that point. I

634
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: don't think you want to take a huge step back.

635
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: And unlike Kansas and Duke that are playing in football

636
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: conferences that are kind of a little bit of a

637
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: second tier. We're playing in the SEC, like we're not

638
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: playing against Georgia Tech. In football, we're playing against Georgia.

639
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 5: That's the thing right in this era of Kentucky is

640
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 5: ever going to be able to compete for an SEC

641
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 5: title in football? They're gonna need almost all that twenty

642
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 5: million by themselves. But then you can't not give anything

643
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 5: to basketball and the other schools.

644
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 2: I think this is the most important choice that the

645
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 2: UK Athletics is going to make in the next decade

646
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: is being made right now, and I don't know what

647
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: they're gonna do, and I don't even know what's what

648
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 2: crazy is. We might not even know what they do

649
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 2: cause they won't have to announce how the revenue was

650
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: shared until like a year from that, so we won't

651
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: even know what they decided to do for a while.

652
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the next time I interviewed Mitch Bartard, I'm

653
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: not asking this what are you doing? Like, what are

654
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 2: you gonna do? Mitch did an interview where he see's

655
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: gonna be flexible year to year, But I don't know.

656
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 3: How do you walk over to Marc Stoop's office and

657
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: tell him I'm not gonna get I'm gonna give you

658
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: less than all the other schools in the SEC.

659
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 4: You gotta be a man.

660
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: But then, how do you look at Mark? How do

661
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: you look at how do you look at Mark pop

662
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 2: and say, Mark, I expect you to go hang band

663
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: or number nine, But you got half as much money

664
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: as Yukon, Villanova and Saint John. Yep. Yeah, I don't

665
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: know who's up next? God, Sean, up next? Sean? Go ahead? Sean?

666
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, A quick to part of it. I can

667
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 6: attendance wise, what do you expect for the opener in

668
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 6: Central Michigan football? Obviously, and if they win that, you know,

669
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 6: as down as there's you know, as we ben, there's

670
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 6: no enthusiasm. But if they win that opener the following week,

671
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 6: Ole Miss at three thirty, I mean it's fireball in Cornwall, right,

672
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 6: darn near sold out? I mean we'll you know, maybe

673
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 6: three is one back one week the fan base is back.

674
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: Uh well, first of all, I think you will have

675
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: good crowds for week one and two. I mean opening game.

676
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: People just come so I don't know if it'll be full,

677
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: but I think it'll be pretty close. If we win

678
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: Week one, oh Miss will be full. What I'm more

679
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: interested in is if you lose to Old Miss by lot,

680
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: what is week three like? Like, That's where I think

681
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: you'll really see the tail. I think they're gonna get

682
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 2: a really good crowd for the opener. We always do

683
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: Oh Miss at three point thirty if we're now, if

684
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: we lose to Toledo, that Old Miss game may not

685
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: be great. But if we beat Toledo, I think people

686
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: will be into it. But then I think you really see,

687
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: right and what it's gonna be week three when they

688
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: play against against Eastern Michigan.

689
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Toleedo game you win that one, Ole Miss

690
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 3: will be packed. Sec opener will be a beautiful day,

691
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure, Saturday afternoon in September. But do you lose

692
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 3: that one? If you lose both of those, there may

693
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 3: be a half.

694
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 2: There's a bigger question, Shannon, which is you know, you

695
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: got that Eastern Michigan game, and then you have road games.

696
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: I don't know who are the next two, but we

697
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: might get blown out in both of those next two

698
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: road games. When we come back the week after.

699
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: That, that's really gonna tell the story.

700
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: You know, because we play is it? Do we play tech?

701
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: I think there's a weekend which is Texas football, but

702
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: it's also our opening exhibition basketball game. We play Perdue,

703
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: right and Keenland is that weekend?

704
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

705
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: Do people go to that game because they're already gonna

706
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: have that Perdue exhibition game. That's where I think you

707
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: have to see what happens.

708
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there'll be a lot of Texas fans

709
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 3: at Kroger Field for the Kentucky Texas football game.

710
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: I I mean, I worry about the attendance, but I

711
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: mean it's just on them, Like you know, it's gonna

712
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: be on the team, the staff.

713
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: What happens.

714
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 5: We've heard, you know, this offseason. I think an alarming

715
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 5: number of season ticket holders who have canceled, who have

716
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 5: been holders, season ticket holders for years, you know, and

717
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 5: they just canceled this year.

718
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: One person rights, Matt, what do you think the fan

719
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: base would say about the money? Well, I don't know,

720
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: But let's do a little poll here, all right, all right,

721
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you three options of I'm gonna give

722
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: you three options. You tell me what you vote for.

723
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: Option one will be we do what the rest of

724
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: the SEC does, which is fourteen million football three basketball.

725
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: Option two would be a little more pro basketball, twelve

726
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: in to football, five to basketball, and option three would

727
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: be Shannon's we go all in on basketball and spend

728
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: like eight or nine million on football. How many of

729
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: you would say, do what the rest of the SEC

730
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: does and make it fourteen and three? Raise your head?

731
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: Whoa one person? Whoa wow? One person? How many of

732
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: you would say the sort of five million basketball, twelve football?

733
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: Raise your head? How many of you take Shannon's forget football,

734
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 2: make it fast? Wow? Wow? Does that surprise you? Yeah,

735
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 2: a little bit. So for people listening at home, it

736
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 2: was probably sixty percent Shannon's, thirty five percent mine, and

737
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 2: then five per well, one guy saying uh saying make.

738
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: It equally wow.

739
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: Now that is a little telling me. I would not

740
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: have thought sixty percent of the people would just say

741
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: throw football out.

742
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 3: I wonder if we had the same We're not completely

743
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 3: throwing them out, but saying, well, we'll give you.

744
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 5: Do you have to prioritize like what means more to you?

745
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 5: And I think basketball will always mean more.

746
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 2: Does that mean cow was right we're a basketball school.

747
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 3: Does that mean I mean if we had the same

748
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 3: scenario like four or five years ago.

749
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 2: That's a good question. Do you think people would have

750
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: said that cow's last year. No, that's an interesting question.

751
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: Let's say it was the year we came off eight

752
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: and four in football and Kala just lost to Saint Peter.

753
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 5: I think we would say we need it more nil

754
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 5: for basketball, we wouldn't have lost to Saint Peters.

755
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 2: You think it would have been a similar result. See,

756
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 2: I think the results a little different because these people

757
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: because everybody likes mart Pope so much and everybody wants

758
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 2: Mart Pope to win. But that is that surprised me.

759
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 2: I did not think that was gonna be the answer.

760
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 2: No Cha lend of Farms. Uh, we've started receiving beef

00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: while we're while we're doing.

790
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 4: All that new country that you love you're gonna get

791
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 4: earful of it.

792
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 2: You're out in Nashville and you see Meyern and I

793
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: on the streets. Welcome him because he's very, very nervous

794
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 2: about being in Nashville. I don't know what he thinks

795
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 2: is gonna happen, but he's great.

796
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 4: To take him somewhere nice and get him a cowboy hat.

797
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 2: I'm getting a cowboy Don't you worry one person, rights mad.

798
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: I listened to your interview with Ross Dellinger. I thought

799
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 2: it was fascinating some of the things he talked about.

800
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: Do you agree with him that they will actually use

801
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 2: the clearing house all right? So people don't know what

802
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: he's talking about. This is one of the things he

803
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 2: said which I thought was fascinating. So you know, now,

804
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: basically the collectives can just hand the money players. They

805
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: really don't have to do anything. True. As part of

806
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 2: this settlement, there is going to be a clearing house

807
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: run by Deloitte, not run by the NCAA, Okay, run

808
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 2: by you know how the oscars will say the votes

809
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 2: have been added up by this accounting company. Basically, they

810
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: have hired a company outside of the NCAA that's going

811
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: to look at all nil deals and make sure that

812
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: they're paying fair market value and that the players are

813
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 2: doing work for the money, basically making it to where

814
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: nil is INIL. Now, why does that matter? Because if

815
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: they do that, somebody like Joe Kraft for us or

816
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: somebody like whoever cannot make up the difference from that

817
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 2: twenty million. Does that make sense? Because there have been

818
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 2: people who said, Hey, Kentucky, and it was a TV

819
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 2: show I was on once.

820
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 7: But.

821
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 2: Kentucky can spend three million dollars on basketball and then

822
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 2: they can go get a donor to give fifteen million

823
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: dollars in collective money. In theory, Ryan, you won't be

824
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 2: able to do that anymore. You'll have to prove that

825
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 2: when you give Trent Noah amount of money that he

826
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: has quote unquote worked for it by doing the endorsements,

827
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: et cetera. And I think at that point a lot

828
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: of that stuff will go away.

829
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it will go away. There'll

830
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 3: be something that will still do it, like Trent Noel

831
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 3: might be a guy that does some local spots to

832
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 3: earn some of that extra money. But you're right, a

833
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: lot of it is gonna but you're not going to.

834
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: Be able to give otegaway three three million dollars and say, hey,

835
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 2: he has three million dollars, and then he does one commercial.

836
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to show that that three million he

837
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: does an amount worth the three million, which is gonna

838
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 2: be hard to do.

839
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 5: But see, that's what I thought in Io was supposed

840
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 5: to be all along, and it turned into we're just

841
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 5: gonna give you know, players money.

842
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 4: You don't have to do anything.

843
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 5: So I think it's actually a good thing that they're

844
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 5: making them work for the money.

845
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 2: So that's why I think it's so important the decision

846
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 2: Mitch makes, because you're not just gonna be able to

847
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: make up the money with a donor right in a

848
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: check like you used to be able to do. Who's

849
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 2: up next, Emmitt is up next, Emmitt, go ahead, Mmit.

850
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was gonna say, I really do think it

851
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 7: matters what sport. I think you have the best chance

852
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 7: to compete for a championship in because like Kentucky, if

853
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 7: you give them fourteen million or whatever it is and

854
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 7: they're still finishing fourth or fifth, it kind of I

855
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 7: don't know if it meets the needs of what we

856
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 7: write versus in basketball, that money we have a chance

857
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 7: to compete for a championship year, and I think that

858
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 7: really matters in determining how much money each program is

859
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 7: gonna get.

860
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 2: Well, that would be the argument for Shannon's thing. I

861
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: appreciate the call. Why spend fourteen Shannon? If we're going

862
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: to get the same results if we if we had

863
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 2: spent eight, so you might as well spend eight and

864
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 2: put the six towards basketball.

865
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 5: It is what you would say, Yeah, we know, we

866
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 5: know the basketball team is going to compete for a title,

867
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 5: so why not give them the money that they need

868
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 5: to be able to do that.

869
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: He also said Royce said he thought college that. He

870
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 2: said he didn't think coaches salaries would necessarily go down,

871
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: but he said the days of you signing a guy

872
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: to a ten year deal and guaranteeing the money like

873
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: we did with cal Or like Jimbo Fisher at ain't him.

874
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 2: He said that's done. He was like, now coaches are

875
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: going to be on three year deals, four year deals.

876
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: He thinks they'll be a lot more coaches fired. He's like,

877
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 2: the days of you having to pay eighty million dollar buyouts.

878
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 2: He was like, those days are done.

879
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 3: I have another reporter question, Okay, I got what I

880
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 3: think about this to why I realize the athletic budget,

881
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 3: Lortie depends on the revenue gain by SEC football.

882
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 2: Great point, So how do you cut that? I mean,

883
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: all right, let's use the sixty percent of the voters

884
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: here in Shannon's You do that position, and then nobody

885
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 2: goes to the football games. Shannon, you might not have

886
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: the revenue to pay the twenty million dollars to begin with.

887
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 4: They'll still go to the games. They'll still go to

888
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 4: the Do you think we go.

889
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 2: To the games to be uncompetitive again, No.

890
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 5: But I don't think that's the mindset. But I think

891
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 5: that fans will still go to the games. It's still football,

892
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 5: you know.

893
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: I think I think Kentucky has one of the hardest

894
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: choices of any college because, like I said, it's pretty

895
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: clear what Duke gotta do, and it's pretty clear what

896
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: Kansas should do. I think Kentucky and North Carolina have

897
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 2: to sit there and go, what do we do? Yeah,

898
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 2: and you know they've already spent that money on Belichick,

899
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 2: so they ain't gonna punt, I wouldn't think. So it's

900
00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 2: gonna be tough Mitch. Mitch is gonna make this is

901
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 2: the most important decision for UK athletics in the next decade,

902
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 2: and Mitch is making it. And this is probably be

903
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: the last big decision he makes before he retires. To

904
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 2: be honest with you, we'll take a break and be

905
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: right back. Come back our number two here at to Virginia.

906
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 2: This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
