1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: This is the Bloomberg Business of Sports show, but we 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: explore the big money issues in the world of sports. 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: I'm Michael Lawn, I'm Scarlett Poo, and I'm Mike Lynch. 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: We have a couple of topics to talk about today, 5 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: and let's just say one involves the Final four. It 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: is all set. Duke is in it, Kansas is in it. 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: North Carolina plays Duke. That is going to be one 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: whale of a matchup. Kansas plays Villa Nova Thatt your 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: final four. North Carolina beat the Cinderella team of the tournament. St. 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: Peter's Jersey City. They were the first fifteen seed to 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: make it to the Elite AIDS. Girl, I didn't even 12 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: know where St. Peter's was, and I'm sure I'm not 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: the only one. Lynch and I were just talking about 14 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: this about how many Google searches must have been on St. 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: Peter's over the weekend, and we checked and according to 16 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: Google Trends, St. Peter's on Saturday got two million plus hits. 17 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: So people are wondering what the school is, what it's 18 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: all about. It's a Jesuit university in Jersey City, New Jersey. 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: Twenty students something like that, tiny, tiny, tiny tiny. Yeah. 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: If you see their court size and then you compare 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: it to all the teams they knocked out, like Kentucky 22 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: and so forth, you're like, oh my god, let see 23 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: how how did this team do it? John Calipari's contract 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: is more than the entire school budget for st years. 25 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: So but this is, you know, it's the it was 26 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: the feel good and still is to me, the feel 27 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: good story of this tournament. And every year, this seems 28 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: to be every two or three years, seems to be 29 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: one of these stories. Florida Gulf Coast University, Butler University, UM, 30 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: you know, Virginia Commonwealth, that George Mason, and you know 31 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: your route for them, and you want them. And Friday 32 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: night when they upset Perdue, I mean I was sitting 33 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: on my couch and just screaming. I mean, just like 34 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: like like invested interest. I gotta tell you, you you talk, 35 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: you brought up John Caliparia. Let me tell you what 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: the difference is. John Calipari makes more than eight million 37 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: dollars per year. His top assistant makes hundred fifty tho 38 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: dollars a year. Now, the coach for the Peacocks, Jaheen Holloway, 39 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: reportedly makes two hundred sixty tho dollars a year, and 40 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: it is amazing all that money and this little team 41 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: that could did scar. It's great when you have a 42 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: story that pushes back against the machinery of n C 43 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: Double A teams and what they're able to do when 44 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: they have big budgets. People love the story of People 45 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: love getting on board with an underdog and Lynch. If 46 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: they did advanced to the Final four, they would have 47 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: gotten a lot more money from the n C Double 48 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: A going forward. Right, Um, it's once you get to 49 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: the final four it actually stops. Um. Oh okay, so 50 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: up until this point, for each game you appear in, 51 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: you get one unit and each unit is worth three 52 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars. So for st um St Peter's they 53 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: earned one point three five six million dollars for their conference, 54 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: not for themselves, and that will be paid out each 55 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: year for the next six years. So the total to 56 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: be split is eight point one million dollars. Now there 57 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: are eleven teams in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The 58 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: n C Double A urges the conferences to split the 59 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: money equally among all teams in your conference, but they 60 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: are not compelled to do so. So the athletic director 61 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: at St. Peter's is hoping maybe we can get a 62 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: little bigger piece of that pie every year. Since we're 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: the one that brought the attention to the league, they 64 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: haven't had a team, you know, advanced since two thousand nine. 65 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: There are eleven teams in the league. All of them 66 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: would kill they have the money. On the other hand, 67 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: you take a league like the Big Ten, so they 68 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: had nine teams in the tournament, so that's nine units 69 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: right away before they even win a game. They eventually 70 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: with all the teams before they all got knocked out, 71 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: seventeen units. So that is thirty four point six million 72 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: dollars for the Big Ten Conference versus just eight million 73 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: dollars for the Metro Atlantic Conference where St. Peter's place. 74 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: So it pays to have more teams in the tournament, 75 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: so you don't get paid individually as a team from 76 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 1: each win. Everything is shared by your conference and there's 77 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: a pool of a hundred seventy million dollars which is 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: divided up among the teams in the men's tournament. I 79 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: have to be honest, I had never heard of the 80 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: m A a C. Before this it's not a powerhouse 81 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: of basketball, isn't college Well, you know, fair Fields a 82 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good team. Um. Over the years, Sienna 83 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: has been in the tournament, the Jaspers of Manhattan have 84 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: been in there. Iona's coach fred Rick Patino, Quinnipia. Yeah, Marist, 85 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: which is what by Vassar right up? Um? Yeah, it 86 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: feels like the real stars in college basketball, bar are 87 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: the coaches? Right? Well, it goes down to with you know, 88 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: speaking of that coach k uh this is swan song 89 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: here and he's still in it. And I mean, what 90 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: a great story it would be if he went all 91 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: the way. He's got to get through first of all, 92 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: he's got to get through North Carolina, by the way, 93 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: that storied match up. Just this is the first time 94 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: they've ever met, by the way, in the final four, 95 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: those two teams, and it's I mean they play all 96 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: the time, but this is the first time they've met 97 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: in the final four. Stars always like to go out 98 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: on top, coach k tom Brady. I mean, he didn't 99 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: go out on top, so that's why he's coming back. 100 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: The shades of Al McGuire nineteen seventy seven. Coach Marquette, 101 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: this is my last year and they never want to 102 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: turn and they won the whole thing, and um, it 103 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: was really just it was it was a very emotional 104 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: rod And uh, the games are on TBS on Saturday 105 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: and Monday, and you can bet your lucky stars at 106 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: every every move that Mike Shachowski makes this week is 107 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: going to be chronicled and probably most of the nation, 108 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: other than people in Chapel Hill, are gonna be pulling 109 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: for coach k to pull this thing off and head 110 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: off into the sunset, as with another with his sixth 111 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: n C double a championship by the way. St. Peter's 112 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: head coach, Heeen Holloway, as we mentioned earlier, Uh, with 113 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: his peacocks, it's a small school. And he said this, 114 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: and it was a great quote. He said this several 115 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: days ago. I've got guys from New Jer's in New 116 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: York City. You think we're scared of anything? That Now 117 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: that's confidence. I like that. That's my man. He is 118 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: he going to stay with the team, you think? But yeah, 119 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: they asked him that and he kind of brushed that 120 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: question off. He said, right now, he was trying to 121 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: console players at the moment, you know, but it wouldn't 122 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: surprise me if someone said, hey, Shane, come over here, 123 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: coach Seton Hall. Those pirates of Seton Hall have not 124 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: they vacancy. They haven't said anything. He played at Seton Hall. 125 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: He met his wife at Seton Hall, so there's an 126 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: emotional tie there. And he could make ten times. He 127 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: could make two and a half million dollars a year 128 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: coaching Seton Hall. Yeah, I think you mentioned earlier. He 129 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: makes more than two hundred fifty thousand, but less than 130 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: two hundred seventy thousand a year coaching. Apparently there are 131 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: four members of the basketball staff that are not even paid. 132 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: They're doing it on a volunteer basis. You know, we 133 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: said this, this is this is one of the sad 134 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,799 Speaker 1: parts about about March Madness. His teams become a victim 135 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: of their own success. Remember Florida Gulf Coast University, they 136 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: just wowed everybody about ten years ago. And then coach 137 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: Andy Endfield got learned by Southern cal He left Brad 138 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: Stevens National Championship Game twice in two years in a row. 139 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: With Butler, the Celtics come around, they get him shock 140 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: as smart with Virginia Commonwealth in the Final four, he 141 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: goes to Texas, Jim Larenego, George Mason goes down to 142 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: the University of Miami. So it's part of life. It's 143 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: it's bitter sweet, and you know there'll be a team 144 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: meeting shortly. I think Seton Hall is not gonna waste 145 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: any time because recruiting is very important and that announcement 146 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: should be coming very very shortly. But what a great 147 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: run by sat Pizza. They busted a lot of brackets, 148 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: a lot a lot of people tearing up their sheets 149 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: and throwing them away and not watching, but brought a 150 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: lot of joy to a lot of people. Yeah, Goliathe 151 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: finally defeated David, but not before David had a really 152 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: long winning streak. Absolutely. By the way, before we move on, 153 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: how you guys doing any brackets? I knew, I knew 154 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: you bring up? Did you pick any of the final four? 155 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: I have two teams in the final four, okay, And 156 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: yeah you're that's why you're asking the question. Duke and Kansas. 157 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: All right, those are the two I have going to 158 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: the finals. Now that I've jinxed myself. Um, you know, 159 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: you see what my father always used to tell me. 160 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: See when you get the big head. This is what's 161 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: gonna happen, and everything is gonna blow apart. But but 162 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: I do, but I am serious about before we move on. 163 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: The ratings are very good for the n C Double 164 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: A and good for them.

Who did you pick to win? Again? Lynchy? 174 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: I picked foolishly. I picked Auburn, I picked Gonzaga. Those 175 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: weren't foolish, but I don't think they were foolish. I 176 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: didn't pick a I picked, so I'm gonna blame the computer. 177 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: Well done so far, Mr bar Well, we'll see now 178 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: that I've opened my mouth. But anything, we'll be rooting 179 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: for you. Thank you Miami Heat. They told RS and 180 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: not the show player altercations during the game broadcast, which 181 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: is very interesting because that also includes some of the 182 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: stuff that we've seen on Twitter when to Heat players 183 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: went at its car. Yeah, I don't know that sure, 184 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: regional sports networks m may heed that that request, but 185 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: you can't get people to stop. Ordinary people who are 186 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: at the game, for instance, to stop taping what what 187 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: they see, and they're going to post it on Twitter 188 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: and they're gonna get their fifteen minutes of fame, and 189 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: I suspect that's what's going to happen. It just drives 190 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: more viewers, more eyeballs to different platforms like Twitter, like TikTok, 191 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: like Instagram. You know, this is pretty much the norm 192 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: around local sports regional networks these days is that they 193 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: become partners with the teams, and the teams have a 194 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: vested interest in the in the broadcast outlet and vice versa, 195 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: and they don't want anything that's controversial that will shed 196 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: a bad light upon the team. And you know, if 197 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: it happened in independent broadcasting network, it would be called censorship. 198 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: But here it's they can show us whatever they want 199 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: to show us and if they don't want to show 200 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: us what's going on, they have the right to do it, 201 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: but it's the person that's The people that are robbed 202 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: are the viewing public. You know. They you said that 203 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: they want to steer clear of any kind of controversy. 204 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: Of course, other platforms like social media is completely the opposite. 205 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: Recording the controversy, more controversy. Bring it on right and 206 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: show it to us in different angles, re enacted if 207 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: you want. Well, remember years ago and they finally changed 208 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: this years ago. If some fool run out on the 209 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: court or run out on the football field, they show 210 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: the fool running out on the baseball field or whatever. 211 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: And then somebody finally said we need to knock this off. 212 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: And so the TVs they won't show it, but you 213 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: you can bet your bottom dollar you'll see it on 214 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: social media. You know, somebody running out on the field. 215 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: Morgana wouldn't have had a career if this was today. 216 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: She was a star.
