15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: It's crazy, dude. It's saying what it's like now, Like

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: what's new in your world?

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: Is this? Uh?

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: Now you get ready for the winter season? So basketball

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: and when do you guys tip off?

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a winter sports coaches meeting in two weeks.

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 4: So that makes it surreal, right that the fall is

22
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: slowly coming to an end. So yeah, it's a wild

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: time to really think that we're already in November and

24
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 4: that we're pivoting to the winter sports season. Basketball starts

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 4: the fifteenth, I believe, so, uh, winter sports, Yeah, two

26
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 4: weeks crazy crazy things.

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 3: Wow, two weeks. Yeah, look at that.

28
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: So how does it work? Football watch? I know we

29
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: had a I was at a game last night. We

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: got playoffs starting around the corner. So let's kind of

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: put kind of a situation where we're at when it

32
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: comes to UH to UH football.

33
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really depends on your state association or your league.

34
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: For Penn Charter and to interact, we have one more week,

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: they just do a regular season award more much like

36
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: the IVY League. So next week ends football for Penn Charter.

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: But a lot of state associations are going into state playoffs,

38
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 4: so you're qualifying this weekend or the previous and their

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 4: state playoffs are starting and going the next month or so.

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 4: So it really depends on where you are in the

41
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 4: country and how your state association plays out. But historically

42
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: most of them go from November to December. This next

43
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: month will be the state playoffs and we'll see how

44
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 4: it all shakes out in your classification and your state.

45
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: See who's the top teams the nationally.

46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: So I got a question for it.

47
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: Do you see the way college you see high school

48
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: starting to mimic college? Where to start to add games,

49
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: and like you'll see the season longer almost.

50
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're trying to play more games than ever. So

51
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: depending on your state, association been moving up. There's a

52
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: week zero now before it was the week one. They're

53
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 4: starting earlier in August, and then they're you know, they're

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 4: trying to pack. There's not as many bye weeks. In

55
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 4: the past, you might have had a bye week or

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 4: two building your schedule. Now these teams are really trying

57
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: to load up and just get as many games as possible.

58
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: So you would see most high school football teams may

59
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 4: playing eight to nine games. Now I think it's common

60
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: to play anywhere from ten to twelve and really maximizing

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 4: each week and really trying to find a competition to

62
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 4: play each week, and really.

63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: Trying to get the national games going a lot more

64
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: national Yeah, because you can see it, like now you

65
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: can see teams starting you got your national programs, and

66
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: then you could start to see schools starting to play

67
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: more games.

68
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, really building out that non league schedule and attacking

69
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 4: it early, making sure you're playing before Labor Day, playing

70
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: on Labor Day, and really playing as many games as

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 4: you can before you get into the league play and

72
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: your state Association, because once that starts up, you're really

73
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: locked in and you don't have the flexibility to play

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: non league games unless you have like an odd number

75
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: in your league and maybe you have a bye week

76
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 4: and you can maybe fill it that way.

77
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: All right, So before we get into.

78
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: We got a whole bunch of things that I got

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: to dive into with you, But before we do it all,

80
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: the one thing I do want to discuss because it's

81
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: so fresh in the news with Brian Kelly being fired,

82
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: is like the dramatic shift that we've seen here in

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: college sports with these coaches getting fired.

84
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 3: So the more.

85
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 2: Emphasis on win win, win, win win, which you know, listen,

86
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: that's that's what it is. But with the nil money

87
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: coming in, we've seen parody. So all of a sudden,

88
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: the blue the blue blood programs aren't having the same

89
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: success of dominance. Right the stretch of dominance from the

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: blue bloods aren't there, so we seem unprecedented. Penn State, Florida, LSU, Arkansas,

91
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech all opened right now mid mid season.

92
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

93
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: And I think the main reason of this is the

94
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 4: portal starts in January, so if they're going to wait,

95
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 4: they want to have these coaches lined up the second

96
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: that opens, so they have to be way more proactive

97
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 4: in making these decisions on their coaches. Historically it was

98
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 4: always at the end of the season. It's so rare

99
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: to see this happening, and it's across the country. It's

100
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: not just one or two like you just listed. So

101
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 4: they have to be ready and they want to have

102
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: their coaches in place when the portal opens because how

103
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: valuable it is and how they have to attack it

104
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 4: to build these rosters out. So they're just saying, hey,

105
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 4: we got to jump in now. We have to rip

106
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: the band aid off and we have to be locked

107
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 4: and loaded with our checkbook open and a strategy and

108
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: a coach in place the second these portals open.

109
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: Well, the checkbook you mentioned, I mean, these coaches have

110
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: huge buyouts. Monster like, so the governor of LSU we

111
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: saw it, We saw it.

112
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm excuse me.

113
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: The governor of the Governor of Louisiana steps in right away.

114
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: It was like, I'm hiring the coach, not the e d. Yeah.

115
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: That was a great conference.

116
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: I mean, oh my, you.

117
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: Know he went that is off of the money that

118
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: was owed by Brian Kelly to to Brian Kelly. There

119
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: was all this talk about Brian Kelly being happy the

120
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: day he was leaving, like he got his, me got

121
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 2: his The governor's upset, you know, and then meanwhile it's

122
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: like the good people of Louisiana's state dollars are going

123
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 2: to payout Brian Kelly fifty million.

124
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 4: He doesn't he could just sit home and it seems like,

125
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: you know, he's had a good career, so you know,

126
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: like you know, the Franklins of the world are going

127
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: to die back in they still have years left. But

128
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: Brian Kelly, he could just become an announcer, stay at home,

129
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 4: and he can collect that check and LSU will have

130
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 4: to pay him every cent of that fifty million plus

131
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: to move on from him and kind of rebuild their program.

132
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 4: Right now.

133
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because the governor, you know, part like

134
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: you can see salty about that, and then you start

135
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: to wonder and you go, wait a second, we're spending

136
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: tax dollars on a failed coach.

137
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, like there's something that missed there.

138
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: In these state schools, right their funding comes from the

139
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: state a lot of times, and you know, there is

140
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 4: boosters and there is you know, alums that are playing in,

141
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 4: but also some that money's coming from the state and people.

142
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: It's it's affecting a lot more people than you'd think.

143
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: And you wonder how long until there's massive change to

144
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: this thing, Like you wonder, you know, you know, I

145
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: wonder if the federal governant gets involved at some point,

146
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: because they've already talked, there's always already been whispers down

147
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: the lane about the federal government, government get you know,

148
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: coming in and like in fact, they're being asked to

149
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: come in to to provide some sort of stability. I mean,

150
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: the minute the NIL thing started to go through, you've

151
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: you've had chaos exactly.

152
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: The issue is, though, since they came in with no

153
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 4: guardrails and no parameters, it's really hard to hone it

154
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: back in because these kids' civil rights come into play.

155
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: We opened it up so now they can fight and

156
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: sue if they decide to like really hone it in

157
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 4: because of how wild it is and how how they're earning,

158
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: and you know, if we say we're going to really

159
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 4: limit it and put a put more parameters on it,

160
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 4: they can fight back and be like, hey, you're you know,

161
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: you're violating our civil rights and our ability to earn money.

162
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 4: So it's it's a wild, wild thing that I think

163
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: will probably end up in the Supreme Court at some

164
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: point just because of they're going to have to find

165
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: some middle ground. But there's definitely gonna be resistance on

166
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 4: both sides, and it's going to play out in a

167
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: crazy way.

168
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 3: I believe. Yeah. And I wonder if the endgame.

169
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: And you've heard it kind of in whispers so far,

170
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: but I wonder if the end game is gonna be

171
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: where they lease the program out to wealthy individuals like

172
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 2: you you know, basically have owners in the NFL. You'll

173
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: have guys that own college programs.

174
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, venture capital firms are exploring nil and like fronting

175
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 4: you know, university's money for you know, to have influence

176
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 4: down the line in projects and you know, construction, and

177
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: to have influence on how they go in certain directions.

178
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 4: So it is something that these firms are getting involved

179
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: in and looking at because they even though it would

180
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: be a large investment on their part early on, they

181
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 4: can see you know, the money coming back to them

182
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: a big way. So again, it is expanding in the

183
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 4: avenues and resources that you could never imagine, right, venture

184
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: capital firms back in.

185
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, and you could just see it kind of

186
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: where they'll just won't basically lease the program and you'll

187
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: have an owner. But I mean you have you know

188
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: Larry Ellison Michigan, right, Like the reason why they have

189
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: all that ability to spend is because of him, Right,

190
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: So you have a billionaire behind you. Yep, at some

191
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: point every one of these programs is just going to

192
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: reach out to the alum and the wealthiest of the

193
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: alum or you talked about the VC people, private equity people,

194
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: that they'll just wind up taking over the program because

195
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: you can't ask an a D.

196
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 3: You're an a D. You're a high school a D.

197
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: You're also going to run you have an athletic program

198
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: to run, right, So you have all how many sports.

199
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: Do you have?

200
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: A twenty varsity sports?

201
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: Okay, so you have twenty varsity sports that you have

202
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: to run.

203
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: You can't now run a football program that's basically an

204
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: NFL franchise. Like when you're looking at Ohio State, You're

205
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: now you're now running an NFL franchise a million dollars

206
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: a year, right, So like you you don't have enough

207
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: I meant, I mean, I you're bright, dude, can you

208
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 2: run on the side. Oh yeah, while I'm while I'm

209
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: doing all this, I'm gonna run an NFL franchise.

210
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: I mean, it's crazy, it's it's it's a whole new world. Man,

211
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: it's a wild it's a wild place. And again it

212
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 4: evolves every day and like to pivot off as it

213
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: will touch later. Is like the two main questions are,

214
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 4: how do these programs sustain it?

215
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: Right?

216
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 4: How do these programs continue to fight? And then the

217
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 4: other side of it is is amateur sports dead? Right?

218
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 4: Are we are we moving on from amateur sports?

219
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: Right?

220
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: Like there are two questions that we'll dive into today

221
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: and try to discuss. But like that's what you have

222
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 4: to think about, like or it's just it's a semi

223
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 4: professional league that we have now, well, I don't even

224
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 4: know it's semi I mean I think it wull fledged right,

225
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 4: Like it's full fledged professional leagues.

226
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 2: And here's the crazy thing about college football. It pays

227
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: more than the NFL. Like if I'm an NFL coach

228
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: like in oc or that I'm one of the next guys.

229
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: Why if if I'm Joe Brady, what are my nuts?

230
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: I'm going after Penn State? Like why why wouldn't I

231
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: go after Florida or l s U. I don't think

232
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: Saban's gonna come out. I don't want to back out.

233
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: I don't think Irban Meyer is going to take one

234
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: of these things. I think you know, you're you're looking

235
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 2: at the pool of coaches now, and with the way

236
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: it's all structured, if I'm in the NFL, I'll go

237
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 2: to college because I gonna make more.

238
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's the thing, like, I don't think these

239
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: guys are gonna come out. But they're talking about they're

240
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 4: paying more in college than they are in NFL. Right,

241
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 4: so you can go get one hundred and twenty million

242
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: as a college coach.

243
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: Right, I mean that's my point.

244
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy. And then on the other side of it,

245
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 4: these kids like for one year, like your rookie contract,

246
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: you might make six million, right, some of these guys

247
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 4: just stay. If you're in the top guy, you're getting

248
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 4: ten to twelve in one year, right as to come back.

249
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: So the flip side of it is, you're not starting

250
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 4: your clock for your next contract in the NFL. Right,

251
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 4: that's the thing. Hey, you're following your dreams. You want

252
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: to be a professional athlete. But the flip side is

253
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 4: you got to start that clock to get to your

254
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 4: second contract and injury. But there's a really fair point

255
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 4: to say, hey, take the guaranteed money you can make

256
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: double staying in college for an extra year. If you're

257
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 4: one of those a little.

258
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: You also make that money works for you, right, Yeah,

259
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: So you're that and so the and the other aspect

260
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: is to your point, there's no guarantees that you're gonna

261
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: go out and be I mean, look at Arch right,

262
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 2: there's no guarantee that you're gonna go all of a

263
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: sudden going to the NFL and flourished. I mean we've

264
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: already seen we saw, you know, Carson Wentz story, and

265
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: we saw these stories like the second contract is not

266
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: always guaranteed.

267
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and even with like quinn Ewers, right, Like I

268
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: was talking to an NIL agent interesting enough this week,

269
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: and quinn Ewers was a number one high school player

270
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 4: in the country. He his you know, grade was as

271
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 4: high as you can get coming out of high school.

272
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 4: He bounced around Ohio State, Texas, he went and got

273
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 4: drafted in like the seventh round. They were saying he

274
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 4: could have got four million, five million to come back

275
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 4: to college. So like he should have took that four

276
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 4: or five million, And you know, I'm not sure what

277
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 4: his contract is right now in the NFL, but I

278
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 4: know the totality, we're probably eight to ten being that

279
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 4: lad of addrest pick right where he would have had five,

280
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 4: four to five if you would have came back. And

281
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: it's a week quarterback class. You can't tell at the time,

282
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: but like now, he could have solidified himself as a

283
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 4: first round, second round pick and had that money to

284
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 4: come out. So it's interesting to see how it plays out.

285
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 4: Obviously hindsight's twenty twenty, but you can't you can't look

286
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 4: in the past. But he was like, this is a

287
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 4: prime example of why you should have came back.

288
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, So here you go. Quinnin Ewers is

289
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: a four year rookie contract with the Dolphins that's worth

290
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: four point three to three million.

291
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: Yep, could have had it won one swoop one swoop

292
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: going into transfer.

293
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: That's a four year deal and he has that in

294
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: one season. Yeah, probably text us and probably more.

295
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, he left Texas in his market because he had,

296
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 4: you know, had a great season. Uh would have been

297
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 4: in that area. And the quarterback class this year obviously

298
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 4: is it's watered down as of right now. They obviously

299
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 4: was projecting out really strong with Arch and and you know,

300
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: Drew Allard and those guys, and they kind of didn't

301
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,359
Speaker 4: have the season that they people.

302
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 3: Thought it's amazing, man, like the one Cas Fizzle.

303
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Drew Allard is going to you know who knows

304
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 4: reason end up and Arch is most likely going back

305
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 4: to college. So it's hard to you know, to project

306
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: the future. But he could have made four million, five

307
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 4: million in the portal and then came out and been

308
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 4: a first or second round pick and guaranteed himself another

309
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five million.

310
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you always, you know, I remember saying

311
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: talking about it on my show, saying, you got to stay.

312
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're doing.

313
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 4: That's gonna be the cautionary tale, right, That's gonna be

314
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: the pitch for these schools is like, hey man, stick

315
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 4: it out, Like look at look at this, look at

316
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 4: this story, right, Like you could have stuck it out

317
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: and you know, had a great season here and we

318
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 4: would have paid you what your whole rookie contract would

319
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 4: have been, and you give yourself another opportunity to prove yourself.

320
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's it's Oh, it's so completely wid. I

321
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 3: mean there are times it's funny.

322
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 2: I was tall with a friend of mine who's in television,

323
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: and we had this whole conversation about what was going on,

324
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 2: and he's like, this is not like when you're seeing

325
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 2: the grand standing by the governor of Louisiana.

326
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it's wild.

327
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 2: I know that the governor of Nebraska is frequently at

328
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 2: the program with Matt Ruhle and the Huskers.

329
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of these especially these states where there's

330
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 4: not big professional teams. Man colleges is all they have

331
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 4: right as far as in the sports, and then they

332
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 4: live and die with it. I was just down in

333
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 4: Oklahoma last weekend and I saw firsthand. So you see

334
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 4: the passion behind it, and you know that the constituents are,

335
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: you know, all fired up about it, so that you

336
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 4: know it makes sense that the governor is holding press

337
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: conferences about who's the next coach at Ali she was

338
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: going to be in that. He even came out and

339
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 4: said the athletic director is not making the higher like

340
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 4: he's gonna.

341
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 2: Be well since the a D is no more president,

342
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 2: and that, yeah, he's out there. Okay, you got it, buddy, Uh,

343
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: it's well, just be careful because you're playing like someday

344
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: when you're I don't know if you're you know, your

345
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: career will take you to college. I how want you

346
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: love the high school level, but if you somehow decide

347
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: to go to college, be wary of one thing. The

348
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 2: political aspect of it is there too, so you know,

349
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: they're from opposite parties, the governor and the A D.

350
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: And I think that that that came.

351
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: Into play a little bit too, So you have the whole,

352
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: you know, the whole political element that was playing out

353
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: at LSU as well.

354
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,720

00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: playing for US. So earlier this week, I was talking

392
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: to the president of the Philadelphia Union. His name is

393
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 2: Tim McDermott. In fact, his brother is Sean McDermott, who

394
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 2: is the coach of the Bills.

395
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 4: Great Family College high school grad Sean McDermott.

396
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: Yes, so Sew was telling me about how the Union

397
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 2: has started the really the first all in soccer high

398
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: school academy, I mean youth academy. So you go to this,

399
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: you get invited, you go and you go to school there,

400
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: like you go and you you play soccer and go

401
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: to go to school. Like that's it. That's your that's

402
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: your life. Like that's and it's the model in Europe.

403
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 2: It's also the model with a lot of Olympic sports,

404
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: like if you're an Olympic, if you're an Olympian, like

405
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: you do one sport and you get homeschooled or you

406
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: go to these academy type of things. So the Philadelphia

407
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: Union soccer program team has this youth program where you're

408
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: basically living on campus doing soccer in school.

409
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 4: Yeah. Union is really they do a really good job

410
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 4: and they've been at the forefront of this, so they

411
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: have the full floodge academy for their high school kids

412
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 4: where they're doing education. They're giving them housing to be

413
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: on there to work on their craft. You know, they're

414
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 4: playing soccer or living it. They're breathing it. You know,

415
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 4: they're doing it all day. There's also, you know, an

416
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 4: education part. There's also a lot of these academies that

417
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 4: allow you to you know, go to your regular high

418
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 4: school and you train on the side. The Union is

419
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 4: more all in where you're going to high school and

420
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 4: you're training all day. And they also are in the

421
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: forefront of They're doing a lot with inner city kids.

422
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: They have a program called Swag, which is tied into

423
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 4: the Union. They're involved in the inner city and they're

424
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 4: doing youth programs to kind of filter into their own academy. Right,

425
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 4: so they're doing a lot of youth stuff and different

426
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 4: variations where they have youth a Union youth academy, but

427
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 4: they also have this thing called Swag which is really growing.

428
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 4: I was involved with them at my previous stop at

429
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 4: Saint George Prepp. We housed them a lot in the

430
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 4: winter time on our indoor facilities. But the Union is

431
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 4: doing great. They have a lot of guys in their

432
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: in their you know system that are going to play

433
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: overseas at the highest level. We're going to play for

434
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 4: the team USA at the highest level. And there's a

435
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 4: kid actually that lives two blocks for me, that lives

436
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: on campus and is playing for the Union and he's

437
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 4: playing for the U sixteen national team. This kid named

438
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 4: Landon Molvenna and h I talked to him a couple

439
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, and he's really enjoying his experience and

440
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 4: he's just getting better every day and he's all in,

441
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 4: you know, he wants he's following his dream and the

442
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 4: Union's giving him that platform to really try to take

443
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 4: that next step.

444
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: So, all right, so that we get in this discussion

445
00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 2: of specialization. So Ten is like, like, you know, we

446
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: always talk about, hey, it's good to be a multi

447
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: sport athlete and everything else. He was like, no, you

448
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 2: gotta specialize that.

449
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 3: He believed that technical sports.

450
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 2: He's like, if you want to wrestle, you want to

451
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: play soccer, He goes, football is a little different, but

452
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: if it's a technical sport, you gotta be all in

453
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 2: and that's.

454
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 3: All you gotta do. Yeah, we were kind of like

455
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 3: debating a little bit.

456
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 4: It does depend on the sport.

457
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 3: Right.

458
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 4: I do really believe it depends on the sport. There's

459
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 4: certain sports in certain positions where your body wears down

460
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: and it's really good to be able to do both.

461
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 4: So soccer at the highest level maybe, right, if you

462
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 4: think you're going to play professional maybe specialization works. But

463
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 4: the bigger sports like football, like I can I have

464
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 4: a prime example for football, kid who's at Ohio State

465
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 4: right now, was a wrestler as well, right, And the

466
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 4: wrestling really helped him become better at football, right, with

467
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 4: the hands and getting strong younger, and he became he

468
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 4: wasn't you know, just big recruit, and he ended up

469
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 4: playing defensive line at Ohio State, and wrestling was something

470
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 4: that really was vital to his success in football.

471
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: Right.

472
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 4: There's a lot of guys who played baseball and basketball

473
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 4: or you know, basketball and lacrosse. It does translate in

474
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 4: a lot of sports. So I'm on the other side

475
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 4: of it now there. I do agree with them. In

476
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 4: certain sports it is important to specialize, but the question

477
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 4: is to what level, Right, if you're going to be

478
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 4: a college athlete, Sure, if you want to think you're

479
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 4: gonna go play in Europe and play soccer, maybe you

480
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 4: have to donate all your time to that, right. It

481
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: really depends on the situation, I.

482
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: Believe, yeah, because one of the things that I do fear.

483
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: Is the burnout. Like baseball.

484
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: I just don't know how you do baseball three sixty

485
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: five as a kid, especially if you're a pitcher, right,

486
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: or you're well, you can't like you you can't do

487
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: it with your arm. But you know, if you're if

488
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: you if you're just regular at you're an outfielder or

489
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: your third baseman, you're a shortstop, right and you're to

490
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: take ground balls and you hit all year around. Like

491
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: the issue with it would that would bother me? And

492
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: I love baseball is burnout, Yeah, like burnout for something

493
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 2: like that, you know, like let's be real for a second.

494
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: Basketball's fun like basketball if you no, I mean, it's

495
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: also the hardest sport, right, But basketball's fun.

496
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: Like you're like you're always the game itself.

497
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 2: Because even practice is like like football, practice is not fun.

498
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: Like I don't love football, but football is not fun, right,

499
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: Like it's work to be ten it's very tenious.

500
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 3: You know. Basketball has a little bit of that.

501
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: But basketball is just the fun bite nature fun and

502
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 2: baseball is fun.

503
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 3: But it's funny.

504
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 2: It could be boring after a walk because you're not

505
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: playing like the winner workouts. You know, you're not playing

506
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: games right as once as you take VP. It's way

507
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: different than may be, kay, and it as much as

508
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: sometimes you know, I wonder how sometimes you know, hitting

509
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: mechanics come into play, right, Yeah, like you gotta work

510
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: at it, and I'm all for it, but nothing substitute

511
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: live pitcher.

512
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 4: So I just got a text from one of our

513
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 4: listeners and he's a legendary coach in the area, Bobby Deepadetto,

514
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 4: and he just said, you know, like zero point five

515
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 4: percent or one percent play professional soccer, so that maybe

516
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 4: they should, you know, specialize, right, But for the large masses, right,

517
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 4: and the kid that really loves the sport, two sports

518
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 4: are really important, right, And so he makes a good point.

519
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 4: It's such a small percentage that are going to play

520
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 4: at that level. So it does make sense for that

521
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 4: small percentage, but that's you know, zero point five percent

522
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 4: or a point percent of the entire population.

523
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: It's a great point. It's a great, great, great point.

524
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: Here here's what the counter is, Well, how do I

525
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 2: know my kids not that?

526
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: Now?

527
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: You know, you also want to suspend disbelief as long

528
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: as possible, right, like Europe, like trust me every week

529
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: every day. In youth sports, it's like going to a movie.

530
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: You're suspending disbelief. You're going like, you know, good analogy,

531
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: you know, like I know, intellectually my kid's not gonna

532
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: go pro, right, but you never know. And I got

533
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: to keep him in the game and keep the dream alive.

534
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: And whatever you dream is played in high school, played

535
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: in college, whatever it is. I got to keep the

536
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: dream alive as long as I can to give me

537
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: opportunity because maybe he's a late bloomer. Maybe it happens

538
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: after puberty like certain ones like I always like basketball,

539
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: The answer is no, right, like even my own.

540
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: Son, who loves basketball.

541
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: Right, I'm like, dude, you could play for your school,

542
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: but that's it. Yeah, and he's actually good, like he's

543
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: a football player. But I'm like, you're not going to

544
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: be six', five all right or six. Seven maybe it

545
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: means a chance to be like over six, feet but

546
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: like you're not going to be six. Seven you're you,

547
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 2: know basketball is too it dominates the space too. Much

548
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: you're good at football and good at, baseball, Right and

549
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: even though you're good at. Basketball now you don't. Produce

550
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: i'm not projecting you as you. Know you're all in

551
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: who So i'm.

552
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 3: NOT i. WON'T i won't let him.

553
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: PLAY aau AND i he. Can you, know they ask

554
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: him all the, time can he play? Travel can he do?

555
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: THIS i get calls all the time for these. People i'm, like,

556
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: no he's not doing.

557
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 4: It, Yeah AND i understand that side of, it. Right

558
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 4: you want to hold hope and you want to give

559
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 4: him every. Opportunity but playing multiple sports gets you, stronger

560
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 4: gets you, better and then if you're that, good they're

561
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: going to find. You if you're that one, percent they're

562
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 4: going to find, you and then you can, specialize, RIGHT

563
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 4: i mean until that. HAPPENS i think the advice for,

564
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 4: me as someone who's been in athletics and has been

565
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 4: an athletic director is continue to play multiple. Sports don't

566
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 4: hone in at a young, age and you, know try

567
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 4: a bunch of different, things continue to develop your, body,

568
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 4: developing play different, things and if you are in that

569
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 4: lottery one percent point five percent of a percentage, point

570
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 4: they're going to find. You and then that's maybe that's

571
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 4: the time where you, say, hey we're going to just

572
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 4: lock in and play one.

573
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: Sport that makes that makes, sense that's why you're the

574
00:30:54,840 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: at that while You're danny d, alright all, right we'll

575
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: take a quick time out and then we'll come back

576
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: and then you lay out what you have for.

577
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: Us.

578
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: YEAH i had to get there with a bunch of

579
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: BECAUSE i was Debating tim with this and he's, like, no, no,

580
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: no one sport devoted because you're gonna fall. Behind and

581
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: he was freaking me.

582
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 4: Out That i'm like an, organization right. Know SO i,

583
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 4: know again it's a very small. PERCENTAGE i understand him

584
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 4: and his, point but again it's to a very limited.

585
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: Base, WELL i, mean think about how many kids that

586
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: he has at each level at The union uh, facility,

587
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: right even those kids aren't all going to make.

588
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 4: It and there, No i've seen so many kids that

589
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 4: were a part of that academy that ended up Playing

590
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 4: division two, Soccer division three. Soccer, like it's not a

591
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: guarantee that because you went to his academy you you're

592
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 4: going to be a professional or play at the highest.

593
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 4: Level i've seen it, firsthand, right you.

Speaker 2: want to get you rolling with.

601
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 4: That, well we can touch briefly on it if we

602
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 4: got to, pivot just because it tied into what we

603
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 4: were talking about. Earlier so a story this week where

604
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 4: two guys who played in THE G, league right they

605
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 4: they've got amateur status and so they were paid to

606
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 4: play in the you, KNOW G. League they're twenty, one

607
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 4: twenty two years, old they're going back to college and

608
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 4: they're going to play in college's upcoming, season so and

609
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 4: they'll have a couple of years of eligibility. Left so

610
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: it really it's just shows the changing landscape AND ncaa

611
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 4: and especially in basketball now where the rule previous was

612
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 4: if you were paid at any point to play, basketball

613
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 4: not play in. College right, now obviously the players are getting,

614
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 4: paid so that that opens the question of like who's

615
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 4: an amateur who's? Not you, know and we, said, right

616
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 4: college sports are really not amateur. Anymore so it just

617
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 4: opens up this really really this can of, worms, right

618
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 4: because Like, historically if you played professional overseas and you were,

619
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 4: paid which happens a lot over, there at a young,

620
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 4: age you were not able to go to. College so

621
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 4: now these college you, know, programs they're they're they're looking,

622
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 4: around and they're looking overseas, more they're looking in THE G.

623
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: League oh my, god, dude they're not even looking at high.

624
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 4: Schools so, that my, one is really difficult to Get

625
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 4: division one scholarships at the high school. Level now they're

626
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 4: really dying down where you know that was kind of

627
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 4: where you replenished and you were very aggressive as you

628
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 4: know these. Programs now there's this other, hurdle which, is you,

629
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: know you can go to THE G, league and they're

630
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 4: not saying it's. Legal Dancy double are looking at it

631
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 4: case by, case but it seems like they're just opening the.

632
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 4: Door so there's two cases this week where, she, yeah

633
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 4: this one guy's gonna go To Santa, clair he's gonna

634
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 4: have two years eligibility's twenty one years. Old and then another,

635
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 4: guy four, star he played in THE G. League he's

636
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 4: two years of eligibility and he's going To.

637
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 3: Louisville so how are they.

638
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 2: How do they looking at their, Eligibility like how do

639
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 2: they determine? That is it how many years they spent

640
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 2: in THE G league and they'll and they're taking off

641
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: their eligibility like.

642
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 4: That, YEAH i think they're doing that with a combination of.

643
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 4: Age they're both you, know twenty twenty one years, old

644
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 4: and they both were eligible for two years to, play

645
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 4: so they'll be playing until they're twenty, three which is

646
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 4: pretty the common. AGE i think the age also WITH

647
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 4: i guess how many years they might have played in

648
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 4: THE G league post high. School maybe that's how they

649
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 4: factored in how many years out of high school they've

650
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 4: been to figure out the eligibility of. It so it's

651
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 4: a wild topic THAT i think we just have to

652
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 4: keep an eye. On AND i just wanted to inform

653
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 4: people that this is another aspect of the hurdle and

654
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 4: another hurdle out there for these high school, kids, right

655
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 4: and you, know don't sniff at you, know These division

656
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 4: two scholarships that are gonna be coming your. Way right

657
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 4: if you're a high school athlete or you're a, parent

658
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: it's really important to have this information to understand what

659
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 4: the playing field is looking like and how you should

660
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 4: go about your recruitment because it's ever. Evolving but these

661
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 4: are things that we never thought we'd see that are

662
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 4: now in play that you have to.

663
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 2: Navigate so so some of this, conversation somebody was telling me.

664
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 3: You might the new way.

665
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 2: For and this is a, shame but the new reality for,

666
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: athletes high school athletes is to. Climb view it like

667
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: your climbing a. Ladder, yes so THE d, TWO d,

668
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 2: three whatever you do that you, excel you climb up

669
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 2: and you get a bigger, school and then you just

670
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 2: climb that. Way but what it does is it's so

671
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: wrong because you now the idea of the college experience

672
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: and going to, university he's dead because.

673
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 3: You're just gonna go To you're gonna wind up going

674
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 3: to three to five. Universities that's WHAT i.

675
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 4: Say and as an athletic, director you know you want

676
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 4: these kids to have the best four years with. Yours

677
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 4: so it's tough because your coach is doing everything, well

678
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 4: you're doing everything, Well you're you're believing in someone and

679
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 4: when maybe when someone else didn't believe in, them but

680
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 4: the system is telling them be, disloyal go keep moving,

681
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 4: up and you can't fault. Thematic this is the system

682
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 4: that it's out. There so you can't be mad at

683
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 4: the kid of their family because they're trying to better.

684
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 4: Themselves but staying out of college for four years and

685
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 4: having that pride like you do in your high school

686
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 4: is dying and that that hurts me as an athletic

687
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 4: director who someone's in, it BECAUSE i love the pridefulness

688
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 4: of people who you, know graduate and who've come through

689
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 4: your program and have had spent time and in the

690
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 4: culture that they. Love, Right but at the other, side

691
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 4: you can't be mad at. Them this is the culture

692
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 4: that is out there now and this is the system

693
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 4: that they have to.

694
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: Navigate, yeah, YEAH i gotta tell you.

695
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 3: It feels. Wrong it's a, shame.

696
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 2: But it feels wrong because now of a sudden we're,

697
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 2: like what do you do for a kid if who doesn't?

698
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,959
Speaker 2: RECLASS i know we had a mutual friend of ours,

699
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 2: past The beautiful, family The folk family are in fact

700
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 2: our prayers go out to. Them BUT i was in

701
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: line with the coach and we were just talking about

702
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 2: this whole. Idea you don't, reclass you're at the huge

703
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: disadvantage not only from a development, situation but also from, like,

704
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 2: hey where AM i going even Though i'm, Good where

705
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: AM i going IF i graduated?

706
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 4: Eighteen, yeah it's tough because you're going against guys that

707
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 4: are just played professional sports for two three years and

708
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 4: are twenty two years, old, Right that's who you're fighting,

709
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 4: against and how can you be ready to compete for a.

710
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 4: Spot and on the flip, side these coaches are, like

711
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 4: we have to do this because our jobs are on the, line,

712
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 4: Right so we want more, established more, mature, stronger faster

713
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 4: people who might be more. Seasoned so, again the system

714
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 4: in my eyes is broken right now In Nancy douba

715
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 4: and again it really it has having a trickle down

716
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 4: effect to high school and to you. Sports and in

717
