Now, just educate me a little bit. Now, 76 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: when you you on an HBC level, then you said 77 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: the word power five and then I hear the word FB, 78 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: as I hear the word division one, division two, explain 79 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: to me where HBCUs are at. And then a school 80 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: like say Ohio State in that relationship. 81 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 2: Okay, let's start with the big money. Let's start with 82 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: Ohio State. Ohio State alumni and they got different companies. 83 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: That's a part of the alumni programs and so they 84 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: able to get more money. That's how a lot of 85 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 2: this money comes from. It comes from companies and corporations 86 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: that want to donate back to their old school, and 87 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 2: one way to do it is through this new NLI 88 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: way instead of like they did back in the day 89 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: when I was in school, they just give you an 90 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 2: envelope and you got a little money that way. Now 91 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: it's tax reductible getting a large amount of money. Right, 92 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: you're getting a large amount of You get a large 93 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: amount of money. Majority of that money from those Power 94 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: five teams like Ohio State. It's some companies that cover 95 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 2: the whole team, regardless what position they play. They just 96 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: give everybody, Okay, every buy this team's gonna get at 97 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: least three thousand, at least three thousand dollars. That's per year, 98 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: per semester, per month. Who knows how it goes the people. 99 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: And then there's that still special athletes that's getting that 100 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 2: special money from special companies and corporations where they're getting 101 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 2: in the millions. Like we're just talking about Sanders making 102 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: almost sick things you make, I think it's six or 103 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 2: eight million dollars. He's the highest paid in l I 104 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: got right now. Now, when it comes to Division one, 105 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: Division two HBCUs, there is a few schools that's that's 106 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: doing pretty good. They're players here is getting a couple 107 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: of thousand dollars here and there, and and that that 108 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: goes a long way some schools, even like you ain't 109 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: being other schools. You you can probably get close to 110 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: five five to six thousand dollars a semester along with 111 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: other things that's going on. So it puts some money 112 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: in the pocket. Uh, it is put some money in 113 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: your pocket. And it's always people think that it's the 114 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: deal that you make. It's not the deal that the 115 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: school always going to have for you. Right. Say for instance, 116 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: if I'm met let's say Tuskegee, right, and I got 117 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 2: alumni that works for Procter and Gamo, and he wants 118 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 2: to do a big thing.

And 123 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: that money can vary from It's not in the millions, 124 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: but you can get some good money to take care 125 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: of travel back home. It's better than what we used 126 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: to get. 127 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: Well, you know it's always say gregor you know it's 128 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: you know apples are does it really is? 129 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: You know? 130 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: You know, like like we started with Power five, this 131 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: is money making Conversations master class.

That's the thing that's also that 174 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: people got to be thinking. The money may start a 175 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: certain way, but it may not end up that way. 176 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: Right right now. And that happens a lot. Yeah, that 177 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: happens a lot out there because the whole, the whole 178 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: money situation is getting so convoluted because you have the collective. 179 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: It is the collective working for the school. Uh, you know, 180 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: in all these different situations. But it's a lot of 181 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: money out there that's changing kids mind. I think they 182 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: said the going rate because everybody gets intoto a transfer port. 183 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: I just want to educate people about how when you 184 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: graduate from these colleges, you graduate from these schools. How 185 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: now these athletes they're really professionals who are being paid now, 186 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: which is a great thing, by the way, it's a 187 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: great thing because you used to be they will They 188 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: couldn't even sell T shirts if they if they sold 189 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: they autograph, they got suspended, They lost their academic collegship, scholarships, 190 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: lost their scholarship just for signing off autographs.

It's a great thing to be able to 308 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: now be able to transfer if you're uncomfortable, if you're 309 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: not getting playing time, like you said, you know. 310 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely used to be like you. 311 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: You compete now if you if you you second third string, 312 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna lead. But what does that teach you when 313 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: you leave? Does that? Does that teach you that when 314 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: they go and get tough, exit stage right, or you 315 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: try to make yourself improve, go to the coach.

You do a 318 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: lot of mentorship. Gregory talking to us about that and 319 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: the young people and mentoring the desire to compete instead 320 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: of exiting for like they say, greener pastors. 321 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: Right, absolutely, and and it's challenging, you know.

It's 324 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: only I tell them, it's the only two things we 325 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: can control. That's all right, And it's across the board. 326 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 2: It's only two things in life you can really control. 327 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: That's your attitude and your effort. So regardless of what 328 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: happened to you, what is your attitude? What did your 329 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: attitude looks like when somebody tells you, okay, you're on 330 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: the second string, you're not the starting quarterback? Right now? 331 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 2: Does that say? Am I going do? I gotta know? 332 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: Is my attitude gonna be right?
