1
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: What have I asked for a parking spot. I'd like

2
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: the room to be below eighty degrees. Today I got

3
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: both of those fresh pack of white teas. Once every

4
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: few months. I don't ask for anything, and I do

5
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: that specifically to build up the equity for this very moment,

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: because if we're going to have a presidential Commission on

7
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: college athletics, I want to be on the commission. I

8
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: want to cash in all my favors, pull all my strings,

9
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: push all my chips to the middle of the table.

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious, kinda. I want to be on that commission.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: We're high atop of stormy downtown Nashville, Tennessee, figuratively and

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: literally in the past hour, on this Thursday, May eighth,

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: the year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. We're proudly

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: brought to you by Academy Sports and Outdoors. You know

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: we're jam packed. It's the middle of May. This used

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: to be the time, once upon a time, where I'm

17
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: told people in this profession went on vacation. They just

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: disappeared for months at a time. I was talking to

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: dellan Er an hour ago. How do you ever take

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: a vacation again? If you're a reporter. If you're a journalist,

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: we don't call ourselves that here, But if you're a journalist,

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: how do you ever take a break? So we got

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff happened in this week. Presidential Commission

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: for the Good of College Athletics, huh, not the SEC,

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: not the Big Ten, not even college football, the greater

26
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: good of college athletics. It's a bold stance to take.

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: If one can take it, I'll talk about it. I

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: haven't spoken to you since this whole Sharon Moore self

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: imposed two game suspension in a lieu of future NCUBA

30
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: punishment thing. It's a long title, but yeah, I'll talk

31
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: about that as well, the whole Michigan versus the NCAA situation,

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: Bold prediction season rolls on, got eight more of them

33
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: on tonight's show, and one of you asked about football

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: to the audacity. One of you asked about our fall

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: tour this year, haven't named it yet, kind of getting

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: that time, but we haven't named it yet. But where

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: are we going to go? What are going to be

38
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: the most attractive games week by week? And we dove

39
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: into that pretty extensively, I would say, in the office today.

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: And so I'm just gonna ramble aimlessly in a few

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: minutes about that, probably like thirty or forty minutes. But yeah, yeah,

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: we got a whole bunch of stuff on tonight's show.

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Greer, South Carolina, London, England, Laredo, Texas,

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: and Dealujah, Alabama. Thank you, guys, wherever you're watching. Subscriptions

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: to the channel are up, like I don't know, fivefold.

46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: A little change we made paid dividends Colin, and it's

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: not important what the change was, but we tweaked something,

48
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: and boy, it's working out. The sit down we did

49
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: with Steve Sarkizan this week, I think maybe the best

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: one we've done. And I've gotten feedback to that nature

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: from a lot of you. Thank you. If you haven't

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: watched it, I don't care if you despise Steve'ssian. I

53
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: don't care if you live in the deepest part of Oklahoma.

54
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting watch. It's on the channel

55
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: right now. Appreciate it. We got two more big Speaker

56
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: series stops next week. I have to take a brief

57
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: break to get married. Then we'll be right back at

58
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: it in June. So not slowing down, No off season here,

59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, let's dive into the show tonight.

60
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: So we're getting ourselves a presidential commission on college athletics.

61
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Not only that, and this is worth a May paper pop.

62
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: How about this little headline late last night Nick Saban

63
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: to co chair a commission on college sports. I didn't

64
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: say football kids, I said college sports. How about that

65
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: little headline? I don't care who you voted for. You

66
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't care who I voted for. I always say that

67
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: off the top. Most of the time, we don't ever

68
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: even have to broach the world of politics, because unlike

69
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people in this profession, I don't I

70
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: don't care to mix that into coverage of college athletics.

71
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: But sometimes the world's bump into each other. So that's

72
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: what we have here. The world's are bumping in each other,

73
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: and that means people lose their mind in the live

74
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: chat in the comment section. So I always preface with

75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't care what you think about politics or your

76
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: political stances or leanings, and I don't think you should

77
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: care about mine. So with all that garbage out of

78
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: the way, let us talk about what this actually means.

79
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: There could be teeth to this, so nobody has the

80
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: slightest clue what's about to happen. I promise you that,

81
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: I promise you. The President doesn't, I promise you, Nick

82
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Saban doesn't. Cody Campbell is on this thing. Up until

83
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 1: five minutes ago, none of you knew who Cody Campbell

84
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: was outside of Lubbock, Texas. But he's got a lot

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: of zeros in his net worth. He's a billionaire, and

86
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: so that makes him unqualified in some people's eyes. I

87
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: scoffed at it when I saw the headline last night.

88
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: I know a little bit more about Cody Campbell than

89
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: most college football fans would, but I looked at it

90
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: and said, Cody Campbell, what? And then I spent the

91
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: majority of last evening eating some of his literature that

92
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: he has written, sort of his view on the world

93
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: of college athletics. We got the American flag on the screen.

94
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: We never get to use that, so anyway, nobody knows

95
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: what's gonna come from this. Here's what's basically happened. The

96
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: President came to Tuscaloosa last week. We were there actually

97
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: the day before. So shake Han's with Secret Service, we leave,

98
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: he comes in, and then Nick Saban got in his ear,

99
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: and a few other people got in his ear, and

100
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: he said, okay, we'll take some action on it. So

101
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: you put together a commission. That's where we are right now.

102
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what's going to happen. I saw many, many,

103
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: many of my friends, many people kind of jump into

104
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: one corner or the other corner and this is good

105
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: and this is bad. How do you know what it is? Period?

106
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: I don't know that anything's even gonna come from this,

107
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: but I will tell you this, and I always like

108
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: to go fifty thousand foot on this stuff because quite frankly,

109
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: it bores people when you get into the weeds of it,

110
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: and you lose a lot of people. I get that.

111
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: Trust me, I'm one of you, so I get it.

112
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: I get lost on this stuff. I get bored with it,

113
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: and I deal with it for a litle I will

114
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: tell you this, though. Let me put it in terms

115
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: everyone understands, because this is how I feel. Every one

116
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: of you who is of age, who has a driver's

117
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: license has found yourself in gridlock, standstill traffic before you

118
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: know that feeling. I'm not talking about city traffic. City

119
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: traffic's one thing, but think about it being on I

120
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: sixty five north of Birmingham, Alabama, being on I ninety

121
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: five north of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and all of a

122
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: sudden you see the red brake lights in the distance,

123
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: and you come not to a slow down, not to

124
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: a crawl, but a complete stop. You know that feeling.

125
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: That feeling sucks because you're sitting still, and you know

126
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be sitting still if there wasn't something really

127
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: bad up ahead. How far ahead is it? Don't necessarily

128
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: know what is it, don't necessarily know how long are

129
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: we gonna be here? Don't necessarily know. That's how I

130
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: have felt about college football and college athletics forever. We've

131
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: just been sitting here, and every now and then you

132
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: get an alert on your phone. Oh, it may be

133
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: clearing up, or or hey, someone's on their way to

134
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: address it. And it's a lawyer, or it's a commissioner,

135
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: or it's a TV executive. Nothing happens. A lot's happened,

136
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: make no mistake, A lot has happened, but it's all

137
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: been circular. Do you really feel like we've moved forward?

138
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the legal types out there that

139
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: have landed nine figures out of court costs in litigating

140
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: all this. It's been great for you, guys, I mean

141
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: for people who just love the sport for the sake

142
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: of loving the sport. You may be a player, you

143
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: may be a coach. Ninety nine percent of you are

144
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: fans like I am. But has it really felt like

145
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: you've had any forward motion? So let me tell you

146
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: how I have felt about this whole thing. This past

147
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: seventy two hours. I've felt like I'm in stand still

148
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: traffic on the interstate. And finally we started to move forward.

149
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: We're moving five miles an hour. That's it. Wish it

150
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: was a lot better, but we're moving five miles an

151
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: hour right now. And what that means is there is

152
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: something that's changed. I don't know if it's going to

153
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: yield results, but something's changed. And that is for the

154
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: first time, there is an attempt from a very powerful person,

155
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: mind you, that normally exists outside the world of college athletics,

156
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: to put together a group of people to present ideas,

157
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: perhaps to lobby for changes that by their very task

158
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: look out for the greater good in the interest of

159
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: college athletics. You could be skeptical about whether they'll be

160
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: able to enact any change. That's totally fair. You could

161
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: be skeptical about the motivation of the people on the committee.

162
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: I have no problem with that, But at least it's

163
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: forward movement, and at least by the nature by the

164
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: definition of that commission, it's not a group that is

165
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: tasked with looking out for a conference. It's not a

166
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: group that's tasked with looking out for university. It's not

167
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: even a group that's tasked with just looking out for

168
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: a sport. For the first time, you've got actual authority,

169
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: actual meaningful weight put behind a group that's been tasked

170
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: with looking out for the best interest of college sports.

171
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the worst thing in the world.

172
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: That's my bold stance on that. I don't think it's

173
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world. Now, there are many

174
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: many ifs here, but I'll tell you what the biggest

175
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: if is if that group, or if whoever is running

176
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: college athletics right now, because I don't know, but if

177
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: whoever's running college athletics actually does get the power of

178
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: the law behind them, whether it come through laws changing,

179
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: whether it come through antitrust exemption, meaning you can finally

180
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: enforce things that you used to not be able to

181
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: enforce because what was illegal is now legal. However, you

182
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: achieve that if you get to a point where you

183
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: have the legal backing, if you get to a point

184
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: where you have the legal muscle to enact change for

185
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: the betterment of college athletics. Here's the big if. The

186
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: big if is if you have more power at your disposal,

187
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: then the big two dose right now. Just call it

188
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: like it is. We get accusations on this show all

189
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: the time of being in the tank for major college athletics.

190
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: So try this take on for size. If that commission

191
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: is really tasked with looking out for the best interest

192
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: of college athletics, and they're given the authority to enact

193
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: change that is in the best interest of college athletics overall,

194
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the moves they make, if they do

195
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: their job, will not thrill the SEC, and a lot

196
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: of those moves will not thrill the Big Ten because

197
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: what's best for college athletics overall, in many cases would

198
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: run counter to what the SEC and the Big ten

199
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: are trying to accomplish. And I'll tell you how I

200
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: feel about that. Do it anyway, Do it anyway. And

201
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: there are many different avenues you can go down with

202
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: that purpose if you're going to carry it out to

203
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: its logical conclusion. I even was reading some of Cody

204
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Campbell's stuff. I should tell you Cody Campbell is a

205
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: billionaire megadoner of Texas Tech. Cody Campbell is the reason

206
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: that clash just came together for them. He is the

207
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: reason I was out there last month that place looks

208
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: as palatial as it does now. But he's also he's

209
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: written a lot, unbeknownst to me until last week. He's

210
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: written a lot about how he've used the world of

211
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: college athletics and in his utopian view, how college athletics

212
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: should operate. And I'm telling you, I guess the reason

213
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm pretty soft on him is because I agree with

214
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: a lot of what he wrote. I certainly have bias here.

215
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: I've got my feel just like you've got your feel.

216
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: It just so happens that Cody Campbell and I kind

217
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: of a line. People like Cody Campbell and I. It's

218
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: a sentence I really wanted to have come out of

219
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: my mouth. But anyway, he's touched on a lot of stuff,

220
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you one thing, he even pulled way

221
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: left field into the equation is the Sports Broadcasting Act

222
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty one. Now, that has been a white

223
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: whale in the sports media world for a long time.

224
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: I've never spoken about it on this show. I've never

225
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: felt the need to speak about it on this show.

226
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: But if that ever works its way into the conversation

227
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: about college athletics, you talk about a game changer, I'm

228
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: not gonna bore you with the details. I'm just gonna

229
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: for the time being, present an idea to you. Imagine

230
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: a world where the SEC does not have their own

231
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: media rights deal, the Big Ten does not have their

232
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: own media rights deal, the Big twelve doesn't lag way

233
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: behind with THEIRS, and the ACC lag way behind with theirs.

234
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Imagine a world where major college athletics operates on that

235
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: front like the National Football League does, where the media

236
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: rights deal is the NFL media rights deal, and Arizona

237
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: benefits off of it every bit as much as Dallas,

238
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: every bit as much as the New York teams, et cetera.

239
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: Imagine if there was just a college football media right steal.

240
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: That's why I told you this has several tentacles, and

241
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: if you carry it out to its logical conclusion, in

242
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: the interest of what's best for college athletics overall, instead

243
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: of just in the best interest of the big two

244
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: and take whatever's left over. There would be a lot

245
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: of end results that may not thrill the sec in

246
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: the Big ten. So the multi billion dollar question will

247
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: be do you have the power to pull that off?

248
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: Don't know? Don't know. I did see some totally garbage

249
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: takes on this though one of them, I mean, I

250
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: laughed before I finished reading it. I saw a legal

251
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: type out there whose entire wardrobe of five thousand dollars

252
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: suits has been bankrolled by litigating the mess that is

253
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: college athletics, and he had the audacity to say, Nick Saban,

254
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: it basically needs to just shut up. Old man Saban

255
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: needs to shut up. He's throwing around all these ideas.

256
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: He's about to ruin it. Oh well, by the way,

257
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: by the way, the accusation this really rich is Nick

258
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: Saban just wants to prop up a model that enriched

259
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: him on the backs of kids, and he just wants

260
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: to keep it that way and keep that money from

261
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: those kids. And where the legal type stopped. That's about

262
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: as much respect as I'm gonna pay to this person.

263
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: Where that legal type stopped is just shy of reminding

264
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: you how many tens of millions of dollars his firm

265
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: has pocketed off of litigating cases that are built on

266
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: the back of college football being an abject disaster and

267
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: unable to not unable to operate itself cleanly. So yes, yes, kids,

268
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: I know, in the perfect world there are no nefarious

269
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: actors in the room. But believe it or not, the

270
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: courtroom's been just as active as the football field when

271
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: it comes to college athletics over the last several years.

272
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: And I hate to be the bearer of bad news,

273
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: but some people have gotten themselves very, very wealthy off

274
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: of the mess that is college athletics, and the last

275
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: thing they want to do is fix it. And then

276
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: the other go to the one we've beaten like a

277
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: pinata on this show Nine Ways from Sunday. But we

278
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,239
Speaker 1: might as well address it one more time. Is inevitably

279
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: anytime someone talks about the need to fix college athletics,

280
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,479
Speaker 1: anytime someone talks about how broken college athletics are, someone

281
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: is going to say, I don't see any evidence of that.

282
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: Look at the ratings, Look at the ratings, and it's like,

283
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, I've smoked two packs a day every day

284
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: this week. My lungs feel fine. What's with all the

285
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: fear mongering? Pass me another long dart, Bring it on

286
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: over here. What's the concern? What's the concern? Or we'll

287
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: use the poison metaphor we've been using on the show.

288
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: We just dumped poison in the Mississippi River up in

289
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, and we called down in New Orleans. No

290
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: fish are dead down there. It seems like nothing's wrong,

291
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: as poison didn't do anything. As is a tale as

292
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: old as time. Any logical adult understands that effect is

293
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: downstream of cause. Sometimes it's one week downstream, sometimes it's

294
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: ten years downstream. But effect is down there even when

295
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: cause is right here. Now again, these are people who

296
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: should know better. In many cases, they are people who

297
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: do know better. But we're talking about folks, including in

298
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: my business. We're talking about people who don't particularly love

299
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: sports for the sake of sports. See, that's the big misnomer,

300
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: And that's why you got some not bad actors. You

301
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: just got some unseerious actors in the room with this

302
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: whole thing. You could be talking about basketball, football, whatever.

303
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: You're watching this show because you love college football. I'm

304
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: talking on this show because I love college football. But

305
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: don't be so blind as to think everyone who covers

306
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: this sport loves college football. Some people cover it because

307
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: they were, you know, flying down the journalism highway, and

308
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: they wanted to get off on the political off ramp,

309
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: and it wasn't open. They said, oh man, and they

310
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: kept going and kept going in the next one with sports,

311
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: and they just got off on that off rip. They

312
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: have no interest in covering sports. It's just a placeholder

313
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: until they can go cover what they really want to

314
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: talk about. And so when this sort of thing works

315
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: its way into the college athletics realm, they pounce on

316
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: it much more fervently than you ever see them talk

317
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: about the actual games on the field. Do you notice that.

318
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: So that doesn't mean that they don't have the right

319
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: to have the opinion. It just means I reserve the

320
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: right not to take it seriously. So a lot of

321
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: that notwithstanding, I am excited slash interested in how this

322
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: turns out. I am withholding and reserving all stronger opinions

323
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: on it. I'm just willing to let it play out.

324
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: That's kind of where I am on it. Academy Sports

325
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: and Outdoors. I would imagine I would imagine the same.

326
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't talked to them about it today.

327
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: I do know that they are the home of Jordan brand. Now.

328
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: I do know that I know a lot of you

329
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: wear that because I see you at games every Saturday

330
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: in the fall, and I know what you guys love

331
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: the wardrobe to look like. Unfortunately Slash Fortunately most of

332
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: you a little more eclectic in your branding than me.

333
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: I have no idea what brand this T shirt even is.

334
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah I do, but they haven't paid for me to

335
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: tell you on the show, so I won't. But if

336
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: you're headed over to Academy, or if you go to

337
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: Academy dot com and you buy some Jordan brand, if

338
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: you buy any Jordan gear and you spend more than

339
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: fifty and if you're buying Jordan, you probably did anyway,

340
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: just make sure and try and get some money back.

341
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: I have taken care of that for you. All you

342
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: have to do is snap a picture of that receipt

343
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: and then make sure you post it hashtag Academy ex Jordan,

344
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: tag me tag Academy and gift cards on the way.

345
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: Limited supply, of course, but gift cards on the way.

346
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: How nice of them, and how nice of me? So

347
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: both of us, how nice of us. Let's move on. Eventually,

348
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: some days some house the beginning to a Nickelback song,

349
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: I think. But someday, somehow, we will talk about Michigan

350
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: football on the field like they play Oklahoma in week

351
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: two this year. You know, someday, somehow gonna make it

352
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: all right. But not right now, Colin, please don't put

353
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: that in the regular video. This is your endpoint the

354
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: Michigan NCAA investigation. The road has gotten a little bit

355
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: more windy since the last time we spoke. So since

356
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: the last time we had a show, Michigan did something

357
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: that many programs have done before. They self imposed sanctions. Admirable, admirable,

358
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: Well hold on, so self imposing sanctions is not new.

359
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: This tactic is kind of new. They looked at the

360
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: schedule and they said, all right, here's our wrist. We're

361
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna slap it, but not in week one or week two.

362
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna suspend our head coach. But wait for it.

363
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: He really wants to coach the Oklahoma game. That's where

364
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: he went. So we're gonna wait until week three, three

365
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: in week four. That's what we're gonna suspend him. And

366
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: then they just left. They just walked out of the

367
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: room and expected everyone to take that seriously. Of course

368
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: that's a joke. So what do we think about it?

369
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: I could have had Colin put a tweet on the screen.

370
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: I had like fifty million of you ask about this,

371
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: which is why we put it so high in the show.

372
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: This is called and there is an acronym for this.

373
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: This is classic SMA protocol. That's the that's the spank

374
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: myself approach. No immunity. There will be no immunity here.

375
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: But I tried this back in the day. I only

376
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: tried it once. I think I ran a foul of

377
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: the rules of my household, shall we say? And I

378
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: knew I had it coming. I knew I knew once

379
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: my dad got home it wouldn't be pretty for me.

380
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: So I chose to get out in front of the situation.

381
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: Using every bit of intelligence that an eight year old

382
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: has mustered to that point in his life and his

383
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: career on Earth, I used the SMA. I spanked myself.

384
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: That's the spank myself approach. And then when your parents

385
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: get home, you tell them did I do something wrong

386
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: in your opinion, probably yes. Do I deserve punishment perhaps,

387
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: But here's the good news. I already dished it out myself.

388
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: I have spanked myself. Therefore, you don't need to worry

389
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: about it. Good for me, except it didn't work for me.

390
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: Valuan effort. I even think maybe in some ways it

391
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: was a respected effort, but it was a failed effort,

392
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: just like this will be. So my best guess on this,

393
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: and it's just a guess. I haven't called our friends

394
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: at the NCAA and asked them, but my best guess

395
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: on this is Michigan understands something harsher than a two

396
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: games suspension for Sharon Moore is coming. That's their best guess. However,

397
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: if you're Michigan and you're gathered around the table and

398
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: you do want to at least give a show of

399
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: awareness of the situation, here's what that probably sounds like. Guys,

400
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna hit us. We should probably self impose. And

401
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: then someone else says, okay, but let's be real, we

402
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: don't really know what they're gonna come at us with,

403
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: so don't go impose harsher sanctions. Then they're gonna come

404
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: at us with for all we know, they're not gonna

405
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: come at us with much. And then the other guy says, Okay,

406
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: how about this, Let's give Sharona two game suspension. And

407
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: then Sharon says, I'm not voluntarily missing the Oklahoma game.

408
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: That's my alma mater, so you can take that somewhere else.

409
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: And then they say, we just got back from's Sharon's office.

410
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to miss the Oklahoma game. And then

411
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: someone says, oh, he's probably gonna have to miss it anyway,

412
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: and then someone else says, yeah, but until he actually

413
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: is told that he can't coach that game, we're not

414
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: going to be the one to tell him. So let's

415
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: suspend him for the third and fourth games. At that point,

416
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: someone should have said, isn't one of those a conference

417
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: game on the road, But apparently no one said that,

418
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: so that's what they went with. They went with the

419
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: two game suspension weeks three and four. And the logic

420
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: there is the NCAA is probably going to come in

421
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: with harsher penalties than this, But on the off chance

422
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: that they don't, and they accept this as punishment enough,

423
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: On the very off chance that that's the case, let's

424
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: make sure he misses the games that we want him

425
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: to miss, or we're okay with him missing. That's my

426
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: best guess on the logic there. But my stance is

427
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: what's been called into question. My good sound judgment on

428
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: this has been called into question because I have, believe

429
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: it or not, many friends who are Ohio State fans.

430
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: I know, I know grew up in Columbus, Georgia, but

431
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: a lot of the folks in Columbus, Ohio have my

432
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: number wrong. You've got this wrong. They're gonna get hammered,

433
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: Michigan's gonna get gonna get nailed on this, and you're

434
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: just wrong. You got a bad read on it. And

435
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: they're still telling me that. Now they've turned the volume

436
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: up louder and they're screaming that at me. So am

437
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: I ready to go on the show tonight and admit

438
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: that my stance has changed. Not really, not really, although

439
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: I'll admit the storm clouds on the horizon look a

440
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: lot darker than they did a month or two ago

441
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: outside of certain message board threads, and I'll admit that

442
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: it does look a little bleaker today. But my core

443
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: stance has been that I just don't know how sharp

444
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: the teeth are at NCAA headquarters anymore. So that does

445
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: not mean that I don't think measures are gonna be

446
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: taken or punishment's gonna be handed down. I've more been

447
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: about the kind of punishment that they're capable of handing down.

448
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: So let me be very clear. There's some punishment that

449
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: I think is legit, and there's some punishment that's just

450
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: a static. It's just kind of it's a scalp that

451
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: you can put on the wall, but it really don't

452
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: hurt anybody. Now, some of you may disagree with me

453
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: on this, So if they find Michigan fifty million dollars,

454
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: it hurts Michigan, but it really doesn't hurt any of

455
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: the players or any fans. No one really cares. Michigan's

456
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: got that kind of money stowed away for a rainy

457
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: day and then some. So if that's it, which I

458
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: expect it to be, I expect there to be a

459
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: large fine here. That's one thing, Frankly, I don't care

460
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: about that. If there are show causes for coaches, which

461
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 1: I fully expect there to be in I think there

462
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: already have been. Okay, if there were coaches that were

463
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: involved in the various activities and they broke the rules. Okay,

464
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 1: and that could be Charon Moore for all we know,

465
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: we'll see that would impact Michigan. But it's still not

466
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: some death blow to Michigan, even if they were to

467
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: give Sharon Moore an extended show cause. Even even Sharon

468
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: Moore lost his job here, it's a big blow to Michigan.

469
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 1: But it's not like you say, see you later, Michigan. Well,

470
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: we'll see a decade from now. That's not like what

471
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: they did to Penn State, for example, the in the

472
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: wake of the Sandusky scandal, like they hammered Penn State.

473
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that we're in that era anymore. So

474
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: show causes for coaches, Okay, that's not the end all

475
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: be all, a big fine, No one really cares. You

476
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: don't have to pay it. I don't have to pay it.

477
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: Vacating wins is where I argue with people a lot,

478
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: because I couldn't care less about vacated wins. Now. I know,

479
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: in an ideal world, you don't have any wins vacated

480
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: up to it, including your national championship. You got multiple

481
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: wins over Ohio State, you got multiple Big Ten championships,

482
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: My thing is I saw them happen, and if I

483
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: were a Michigan fan, I'm just speaking candidly here, I

484
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't care. I saw it happen. I bought the tickets,

485
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: I sat in the stadium, I watched it on TV.

486
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: I celebrated, I watched the confetti fault. I saw it happen.

487
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: And if I think this is a witch hunt, this

488
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: investigation than a crime investigation, then I've set my opinion

489
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: on it. I'm not gonna let sanctions they hand down

490
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: that are cosmetic in nature affect my view of history

491
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: of my program. That's how I feel if I were

492
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: a Michigan fan. Some of you feel that way, some

493
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: of you don't. I'm just telling you how I feel.

494
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: But I still don't think that that's some death blow.

495
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: There's another thing. The NCAA used to do that I

496
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: guess they could still do, but in the NIL and

497
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: transfer portal, especially the NIL ERA, I'm not sure how

498
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: much this really means. What if they strip some scholarships

499
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: away from Michigan. It used to be that that reduced

500
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: the number of players on your roster, but nowadays you

501
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: can pay kids millions of dollars to come play football

502
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: for you. Also, if the university really wanted to, they

503
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: could just give a kid an athletic or an academic

504
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: scholarship and put him on the team as a walk on.

505
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: And he's already making money through revenue sharing anyway. Above

506
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: beyond that, perhaps an NIL deal tailor to him anyway.

507
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: So I guess they could do that. Truthfully, we haven't

508
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,239
Speaker 1: really had an example of this. I don't know how

509
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: much weight that really carries anymore. Here's the real hammer.

510
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Is the NCAA powerful enough to diminish their value as

511
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: an asset, And there's really only one way to do that,

512
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: and that is to remove postseason participation. You call it

513
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: a bowl band, call it whatever you want to. Are

514
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: there multi year bowl bands for major programs that are

515
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: still on the table as a punitive measure that the

516
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: NCAA can take. I'm flat out telling you I'd have

517
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: to see it to believe it. That's my whole stance

518
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: on the Michigan thing. If they do that, then I

519
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: will I wouldn't say I'd be pleasantly surprised. It's not

520
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: like I'm rooting for it, but I'd look at it

521
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: and I'd say, all right, I was wrong. That's where

522
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 1: I'd be wrong. Any of that other stuff I halfway

523
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: expected if they remove Michigan's ability to compete in post

524
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: season play for multiple years, therefore diminishing and diluting their

525
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: value value as an asset. That multiple networks have paid

526
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: billions of dollars into a rights fee in exchange for

527
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: being able to broadcast the games up, that's an entirely

528
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: different ballgame. And I'm just flat out telling you I

529
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: think networks are more powerful than the NCAA today, have

530
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: been for a while, and I think, over their dead body,

531
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna let an institution whose authority is sort of

532
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: by gone in nature anyway, like the NCAA, come in

533
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, we know you paid all this money

534
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: to broadcast Michigan games, but we're gonna hand out a

535
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: punishment that sort of deludes their value as an asset.

536
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll happen. I haven't thought it will happen.

537
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: I still don't think it will happen. If I'm wrong,

538
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. In fact, that's what I wrote on this

539
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: piece of paper. I could be wrong. I don't know,

540
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not as smart as folks on

541
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: Ohio state message boards. I don't know. I know you

542
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: guys do I don't know. Bold Predictions more guessing what's

543
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: gonna happen in the future here. Although this is a

544
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: little healthier in nature, I think a reminder, a little

545
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: refresher since it's still pretty new. Bold Prediction Season is back.

546
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: The entire challenge to you is predict something that's bold

547
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: enough to make it on the show, but realistic enough

548
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: to happen in real life. And we go to the tape. Well,

549
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: I guess it's not tape, but we go to Twitter

550
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: where you submitted all of these. First up tonight, Wilson

551
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: from Wilson Peak or no, he is Wilson in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

552
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: Good people in Sheboygen he said Texas A and M

553
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: will not go bowling this year. Then he just tagged

554
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: Billy Luci for good measure assault. So A and M

555
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: doesn't go bowling. That means they're going to go five

556
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: and seven or worse. That gets a nine from me

557
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. Their win total seven and a half.

558
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: I just think about A and M's makeup as a

559
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: team this year. So what do we have? We got

560
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: good returning production, I expect really good production on the

561
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: old line. Got two or three tailbacks I can count on,

562
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: which means they'll be able to run the ball, which

563
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: means there's there's like a built in floor for them

564
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: that I think is just above six and six or

565
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: worse or five and seven or worse. Strength of schedule

566
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: ninth in the SEC. That's what we have. We have

567
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: our own internal metric there. But they do play four

568
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: of their five toughest games on the road. I just

569
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: think they'll flat out be better. And if they're even

570
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: not better, I mean a seven to five year would

571
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: be a failure for them. Six and six big time failure.

572
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: But even those two scenarios would still be better than this.

573
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say nine on the boldness scale there.

574
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: Next up, let's go over to the ACC. This is

575
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: threading the needle here a little bit. So Ashville, North

576
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: Carolina checks in. They say Miami drops the opener to

577
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, but then they win twelve in a row

578
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: and they make the playoff as the ACC champion. So

579
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: really they win thirteen games in a row after they

580
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: lose the opener at home. Now at fuel currently Notre

581
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: Dame is favored by two and a half against Miami,

582
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: that is in Miami. This could bust in week one.

583
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: If Miami wins in week one, the prediction's done. Even

584
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: if Miami goes undefeated, because you predicted them to lose

585
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame. This is a nine point five. So

586
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: good news here. Chalice of supremacy on the line. Anyone

587
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: who predicts nine point five or better in boldness as

588
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: decided by me, and if you hit, you're getting a

589
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: chalice of supremacy. Maybe Miami clicks in late September. So

590
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: let's just walk through. Let's say they lose twenty three

591
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: to seventeen to Notre Dame and Carson Beck's just not

592
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: right yet they got a lot of transfer guys for

593
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: whatever reason. The team's just is just stunning. Click right

594
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: out of the game. It's college football, has happened before.

595
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: But then by the time they play Florida in Week four,

596
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it takes off for them. They

597
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: don't lose another game, and they go all the way through.

598
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: They don't play Clemson in the regular season. They may

599
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: meet him in Charlotte, but I want you to look Colin,

600
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: keep this up for a second. I want you to

601
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: look at the name fature of Miamis schedule because it

602
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: doesn't jump out to you if it's written like this.

603
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: If I had it in a grid, it would look different.

604
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: So you see, they play Florida on September twentieth, then

605
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: they have a bye week, then they play FSU, then

606
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: they have another bye week because the ACC schedules were

607
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: drunk out of their minds when they made this thing

608
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: this year. And then they play one, two, three, four, five,

609
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: six seven games in a row to end the season.

610
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: The ACC Championship game would be an eighth game in

611
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: a row. Notice these last two games here at Virginia Tech,

612
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: so that's Blacksburg, Virginia in late November, and then at

613
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: pitt that is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in late November. And then

614
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: the ACC title game would be in Charlotte, which means

615
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: a third road trip in three weeks as your eighth

616
00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: consecutive game. So if Miami pulls that off, my head's

617
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: off to them. I think it'd be tough. I'm giving

618
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: that a nine point five. Next up Sunrise, Florida. I

619
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: think that's near Fort Lauderdale. A team will go sixteen

620
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: and oh this year en route to a national title.

621
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: That's a nine point five on the Boldenes scale, So

622
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: we got another chalice of supremacy on the line. There

623
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: are four teams in the entire country with win totals

624
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: of ten and a half or more at FanDuel right now.

625
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: None of them are in the SEC, by the way,

626
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: So either FanDuel's looking at the SEC and saying none

627
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: of you are elite, or they're looking and saying, a

628
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: bunch of you are really good, but many of you

629
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: have questions at quarterback. So we think the league's gonna

630
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 1: devour itself this year. But whatever the case is, Notre Dame,

631
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, those are your four teams

632
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: with over under preseason win totals of ten and a half.

633
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: That's it. Bama's got nine and a half, Georgia's got

634
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: nine and a half. Texas but there's no one in

635
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: the SEC. Even Clemson's got a tougher schedule, so they're

636
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: at nine and a half. Here's the thing about going undefeated,

637
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: it's harder than it's ever been before. I don't think

638
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: anyone's doing this. Ohio State lost two games last year

639
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: and they buzz saw the playoff. The nature of the

640
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: sport right now is just not conducive to this, So

641
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make it a nine point five. The thing

642
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: about Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, and Penn State. Look

643
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: at the strength of schedule metric, that's our internal strength

644
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: to schedule metric. That's ours. So don't go look forward

645
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: on a website. But it's pretty legit. Notre Dame fifty two,

646
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: Ohio State twenty three, Oregon thirty seven, Penn State thirty eight.

647
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: But then you talk about Bama fourth, Georgia thirteenth, Texas eighteenth.

648
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: A lot of those SEC teams are a little bit higher.

649
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: So I don't think they're going undefeated. And I'm not

650
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: sure anyone's going undefeated in the Big ten either, So

651
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make that a nine point five. Next up,

652
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: we have a ten. We got a ten here. I

653
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: laughed when I read it today. It may be taking

654
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: as disrestipt. In fact, Jesse took it as disrespect, but

655
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 1: that's okay. This is insane. Nick from Macomb, Michigan. Penn

656
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: State will have two one thousand yard receivers in the

657
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: regular season. No they won't, No, they won't. It what Okay,

658
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: I'll try and talk through this without smiling. That would

659
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: mean nick regular season. By the way, you didn't say

660
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: the whole season, regular season. Penn State allergic to elite

661
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: production at the wide receiver position is all of a sudden,

662
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna have two receivers average eighty three point three yards

663
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: per game, two of them. And as you try and

664
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: process that, remember this team was sixty sixth six sixty

665
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: six yeah in passing offense last year, and their running

666
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: backs are back. So like the ground game's not gonna

667
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: tail off. The identity of the team's not gonna change

668
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: all that much. That's not gonna happen. So that's a ten. Congrats,

669
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: that's a ten. Head cold. Still, I'll pop the top

670
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: on the ZVA. I'm gonna let the I'm gonna let

671
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: the fizz settle down for just a second, because I

672
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: knew when I was running up the stairs today, I

673
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: pumped the arms and I had the ZVA with me,

674
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: and again, zero sugar but not zero carbonation. They're watching

675
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: us in Newburgh, Indiana, Seattle, Washington, and Loudon, Tennessee. Now

676
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: everything's calmed down. Black cherry tonight from the Zvia. Two

677
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: SIPs just for the live chat. The haters in the

678
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: live chat like to question my loyalty to Zvia because

679
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: I only take one sip. Sometimes hooms to amongst us

680
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: bold predictions continue. We've been we've been double dose in

681
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: these because we had we had thousands of them submitted,

682
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: so we have no shortage of bold predictions. Uh, what

683
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: do we have? We have one? Yeah, we got we

684
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 1: got another couple of them here that are gonna qualify

685
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: for a childie's supremacy. All right, bold predictions, what do

686
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: you believe? What are you willing to bet your own

687
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: money on? Well? What about the SEC? Falling short again?

688
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: SEC famously at this point has not won a national

689
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: title in what is it two years? Could be a

690
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: third year this year? I think that's right, And coach

691
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: Jakes from Cherry Valley, New York said the SEC will

692
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: not win the national title. Well, that's only a seven

693
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: point five on the boldness scale, Coach Jakes. Ten of

694
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: the top twenty one teams in the odds to win

695
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: the national title are from the SEC. That's not surprising.

696
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: It's a deep league. But how many elite teams are

697
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,959
Speaker 1: we talking about? How many elite quarterbacks are we talking

698
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: about how many teams have the ability to cut through

699
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: like Ohio State did at the end of the season.

700
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: Clemson is in the mix, Notre Dames in the mix, Oregon,

701
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Penn State. Those teams are all in the

702
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 1: mix here. Any one of those winning the whole thing

703
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: could make this prediction come true. I have no idea

704
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna predict to win it all this year, but

705
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: Coach Jake's no sec It's not the boldest thing in

706
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: the world. I'm gonna call that a seven point five.

707
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: Next up, this one's pretty certifiable. Charlie from we think

708
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: Heber City, Utah. Maybe Heber City, Utah, good people there

709
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: either way. But he said Utah is gonna win the

710
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: Big twelve and Notre Dame wins the national title. It's

711
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: the most random parlay that I've ever seen. We are

712
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: not able to actually place that bett FanDuel right now,

713
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what we're able to do. We

714
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: are able to enter it into the parlay calculator, and

715
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: the odds on that, the odds on both of those

716
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: hitting Utah wins the Big Twelve, Notre Dame wins it

717
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: all would be about the same odds as Virginia winning

718
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: the ACC. So that's a nine point seventy five at least,

719
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: because truthfully, God blessed Virginia. I still think this has

720
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: better odds than Virginia winning the ACC. Devin dan Pierre quarterback.

721
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: Now for the first time in the better part of

722
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: twenty years, Utah has a new quarterback, and he was

723
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback of New Mexico last year twenty eight hundred

724
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: through the air and over eleven hundred on the ground.

725
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: Do I hear a dual threat in Salt Lake City?

726
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: So hey, it's the Big Twelve. Utah's got the fifth

727
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 1: best odds to win the conference. Irrelevant, I don't care

728
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: if they've got the worst odds. That's being in good

729
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: position in the Big twelve historically, especially recently, historically Notre

730
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: Dame winning the whole thing where the first year starter

731
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: at quarterback is a stretch. I'm just gonna tell you

732
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: that's a stretch. I'm gonna call that one a nine

733
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: point seventy five. But I wish everyone involved lots of luck.

734
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: Next up, this one's got to thread the needle again.

735
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: This one's really specific. Clemson, Dabbo and Clemson. According to

736
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: Baker's stats in Clinton South Carolina. Clemson goes into Columbia

737
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: undefeated last game of the regular season, but they lose

738
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: to South Carolina. So Clemson is eleven and oh they're

739
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: red hot. They've already got the ACC Championship appearance locked

740
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: up by them, and they go into the rivalry game

741
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: they lose to South Carolina. This is a nine because

742
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: first thing they got to do is go eleven and

743
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: oh that's hard. They play LSU in week one. They're

744
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: favored by two and a half. This could bust in

745
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: week one. But even if they get through that, Clemson

746
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: does not play Miami. But it's a little misleading because

747
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: they do play six of the top seven odds teams

748
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: in the ACC. So this is not an easy schedule.

749
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: I know some of you got, like Oklahoma fans, look

750
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: at that and say, okay, well, I take it every

751
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: day of the week. I know you would, But outside

752
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: of the Gauntlet schedules, that's not an easy schedule here.

753
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: And also I hesitate to say this, but let's just

754
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: think this through for a second. We're in the expanded

755
00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: playoff era, you know, So if Clemson goes into rivalry

756
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: week eleven to zero. They already know they're going to

757
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: the conference title game. They already know, at least unless

758
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: they change the rules, they already know the only way

759
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: they can get a first round by is to win

760
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: that conference title game. The result of the South Carolina

761
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: game has no bearing on anything postseason related. Now. In

762
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: my heart of hearts, it's a rivalry game, so I

763
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: would hope that they'd play over the cliff even if

764
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: there is no postseason implication on the line. But we

765
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: haven't really tested this theory out yet. We haven't really

766
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: seen anyone go into a game with everything they can

767
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: lock up already locked up, and in a position where

768
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: in the pro game you would rest starters, or you

769
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: would play hard for a half but then throttle it

770
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: back third quarter. I like to think that would never

771
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: happen in college athletics or college football. I like to

772
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: think that way. I don't know, we'll see. That's a

773
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: nine though, on the Boldnes scale. And lastly, how about

774
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 1: the Big Ten title? Darren from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Good

775
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: hockey being played up there lately, not in Ontario, per se,

776
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: but good hockey being played up there nonetheless, Darren says

777
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: Michigan wins the Big Ten championship game versus Oregon. This

778
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: is nice and neat and tidy. I appreciate this. This

779
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: is a nine point two five on the boldness scale.

780
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: This would be the fourth best odds, beating the third

781
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: best odds if you want to know where they stack

782
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: up in the preseason. So if this happens, did Michigan

783
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: beat Ohio State again? I assume they did. Ohio State's

784
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: not in the game. I assume Oregon went on the

785
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 1: road and beat Penn State in Week five. Penn State's

786
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: not in the game. I assume that's what had to

787
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: have happened. These two don't play in the regular season,

788
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: so they can't hurt each other in the regular season. Also,

789
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't have anything to do with this, but what's

790
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: happened with the mission chi? Can ncublea thing? Have they

791
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: gone on a war path and fool us against the

792
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: world mode? Maybe that's a nine point twenty five on

793
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: the boldness scale for me, But that would be boy,

794
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: that'd be something if if you get to the Indianapolis

795
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 1: Conference title week in Oregon and Ohio State and Penn State,

796
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: well not o organ up Penn State, Ohio State, They're

797
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: both on the outside looking in Penn State, especially. You

798
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: gotta at least make it there this year, don't you.

799
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,919
Speaker 1: And if you're going, Quick Trip can help. I'm working

800
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: on something with Quick Trip right now. I don't know

801
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: if we're gonna pull it off. It has nothing to

802
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: do with the other thing I've been telling you about

803
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 1: that I keep forgetting to bring up. But I'm working

804
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: on something with them right now. You can as well,

805
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: in the form of gasoline. They have that. They got

806
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: the good stuff out in the parking lot, but also

807
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: the coldbrew on tap. Obviously, some of the finest food

808
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: to ever roll on a grill can be found at

809
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: Quick Trip. Don't be management. Don't go management on me.

810
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: Don't turn your nose up. Management sends someone down to

811
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: fill his car up for him. He doesn't even grace

812
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: that parking lot. But the rest of us, you're not

813
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: too good to grab Quick Trip pizza every now and then.

814
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,919
Speaker 1: You're not too good for that. That cold brown tap

815
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: washes it down nicely. We appreciate them. We'll be on

816
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: the road a lot this fall, and you guys are

817
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: well aware of that. If our next question is any indication,

818
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: I wasn't even thinking about this. It's May. We're trying

819
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: to figure out what the sport's going to look like

820
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: this fall. But CJ is way ahead of us. CJ

821
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: hit us from Salt Lake City, Utah. He said, do

822
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: you have any idea which games you're going to this

823
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: season for the unnamed tour? He is true, He's right,

824
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: we haven't named the tour yet. He said, I want

825
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: to get to a few this year if I can,

826
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: and I would love to know which games you have

827
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: an eye on. I love the work from you guys. Well,

828
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: we appreciate that, CJ. So I had producer Jesse go

829
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: through the schedule before I even got into the office today.

830
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: I said, throw me five or six games per week

831
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: together that you think will be choosing from. And if

832
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: you're new around here, here's the way it works. Best

833
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: job in the world. And part of my job is

834
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: I get to pick a game every Saturday and go

835
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: to it, no strings attached. That's the way it works.

836
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: That's the job. They pay me too. It's great, so

837
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: I do it for all of us. I'm serving for

838
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: all of us. Week one, Texas goes to Ohio State. Okay,

839
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: that's got to be one of the big ones, but

840
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: LSU is at Clemson as well, and Notre Dames at Miami.

841
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: Bama's at Florida State Florida. That one's probably, along with

842
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: Auburn at Baylor, really random game. Those two, I would

843
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: imagine are in the back seat, but they're in the car. Clearly,

844
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: we're probably choosing between Texas Ohio State or LSU Clemson

845
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: Hopes amongst us knows, But I would be also saying

846
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: keep an eye on this very very very small text

847
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: at the bottom that says Auburn at Baylor is a

848
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: Friday game. Who knows what the aviation situation is. Week

849
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:12,479
Speaker 1: two is Michigan Oklahoma, but it's also Iowa, Iowa State.

850
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: A lot of you who are fairly new to the

851
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: show might have said, did he just say Iowa Iowa State?

852
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely I did, because I'm a big Iowa State guy,

853
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: and I don't apologize for it. We went there in

854
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I'm convinced that I cursed them that day,

855
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: or it could have been Ashton Kutcher because we were

856
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: both there. But yeah, I would say Michigan Oklahoma is

857
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: a fair leader in the clubhouse for Week two. Week three,

858
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: Florida goes to LSU this day. Wisconsin. Obama plays Wisconsin

859
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,919
Speaker 1: and Florida State and out of conference play this year,

860
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: which is crazy. Georgia at Tennessee is this day. Texas

861
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: anm at Notre Dame is that day and my one

862
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: of my most underrated games of the year, Clemson at

863
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech is that day. I will be honest with you,

864
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea where we would be on this day.

865
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I've I don't think I've been to

866
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: a Georgia Tennessee game. That's like a single possession game

867
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 1: in my life, and I've been to several of them,

868
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,959
Speaker 1: So maybe I need to stay away from that one.

869
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: Texas A and M at Notre Dame. We did not

870
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: I mean we did not go anywhere that impressed me

871
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: more than Ohio State at Notre Dame a couple of

872
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: years ago. This great day, it's my probably my favorite

873
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: game we've been to, honestly, so South Bend, Indiana September.

874
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: Possibly we'll see Week four at Florida's going on the

875
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 1: road to Miami that week. There is a chance Auburn

876
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma is all of a sudden a huge game

877
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: like if Auburn beats Baylor, if Oklahoma beats Michigan, we've

878
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: got Hugh Freeze against Brent Vennables. There, we got Jackson

879
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: Arnold going back to Norman. This is me selling myself

880
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: on going to Norman. But if we do that, then

881
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: we've already possibly been to Norman for the second time

882
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: in four weeks, and we want to avoid that. So

883
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: you quickly see how tough this is. It's like routing

884
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: a concert tour. So let's circle back on that one

885
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 1: week five loaded, Yep, it's loaded. Bell My goodness, it's

886
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: not easy. This is like October twelfth last year. Sorry, Colin,

887
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 1: Im'll lean forward a little bit. This is tense. Bama

888
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: at Georgia, we were at that game last year. Oregon

889
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: at Penn State, gonna be amazing. Of course, you could

890
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: probably be home in time for dinner, given that we

891
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: pretty much know what time that kickoff is gonna be.

892
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: Lsu Is at ol Miss. Remember that game last year?

893
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: Ole Miss lost the game and did not trail a

894
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: single second in regulation. Because that's a thing that happened

895
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: last year. Usc Is at Illinois. We've never been to

896
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: the to the stadium there. We've been to the state

897
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: storm chasing real thing. But we've never been to a

898
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: game at Illinois, Auburn at A and m Oh yeah,

899
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea where we would be this day.

900
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: Winners there. Next up, Texas at Florida not an easy

901
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: you know what. I'm not gonna say that. It has

902
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: nothing to do with anything, just some chatter I picked

903
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: up on recently. I'm just telling you the logistics of

904
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 1: going on the road in college football are tough. Texas

905
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: is at Florida, Minnesota's at Ohio State, clemsons North Carolina,

906
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: Miami at Florida State. I would say Texas at Florida

907
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: is the clear leader here. Wisconsin's at Michigan that day, Yeah,

908
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: I would say Texas Florida is the clear leader there. Okay,

909
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: Week seven, there is Georgia at Auburn. No clue what

910
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: kind of prestige that game would have. South Carolina at LSU,

911
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: we were at that game last year. Instant Classic, Bama's

912
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: at Missouri. Oh you, Texas. My favorite rivalry game to

913
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: go to in college football is that day. That is

914
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: your leader in the clubhouse. But then again, I've soft

915
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 1: circle three Oklahoma games so far. We cannot do that

916
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: Florida is at A and M that day, all right,

917
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: so that will up in the air clearly. Week eight,

918
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 1: Louisville plays at Miami on a Friday night, third Saturday

919
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: in October. The next day Tennessee at Alabama, Texas Tech

920
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: at Arizona State is I want to go to that one?

921
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: Ole Miss is at Georgia USC at Notre Dame. This

922
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 1: is a massive Saturday. We may need to double dip

923
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: that Day's call airstar. We may need to double dip

924
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: that day. Maybe triple dip. Do we do the do

925
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 1: we do the Miami Friday night, a noon kickoff and

926
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 1: then a primetime kickoff. It's never been done before. It's

927
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: never been done before. I'm told. Week nine, man, you're

928
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: getting way, way way deep in the ocean now, so

929
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: you don't really know what your records are. A and

930
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: M at LSU, Bama at South Carolina's attractive if we

931
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: haven't seen both of those teams already. Illinois at Washington,

932
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: it randomly could be a game that ends up being

933
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: a top twenty game and it's not on anyone's radar

934
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: right now. Wisconsin at Oregon have a tough time believing

935
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is ready to make that worthwhile this year. I

936
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 1: would guess Bama South Carolina. Week nine, that's just a

937
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: guess right now. Week ten, it's got to be Penn State,

938
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: Ohio State. I think Georgia, Florida, ou Tennessee, Miami at

939
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: SMU that day. Using last year as a metric, that

940
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: would be a big one. Penn State, Ohio State solid

941
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: favorite for week ten. Week eleven, LSU Bama. We went

942
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,919
Speaker 1: to that one last year. Blowout doesn't mean it would

943
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: repeat itself this year. Florida State's at Clemson that day,

944
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: that's a solid possibility. If Indiana is back to their

945
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: former self being last year's version of themselves. Indiana at

946
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: Penn State, maybe a sneaky go in. Oregon's going to

947
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: Iowa that day. Never been to a game at Kinnick

948
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: Stadium somehow. A and M at Missouri. That one's too

949
00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: tough to call right now. Week twelve, this is that

950
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: other Friday game that Louisville has. Two of Louisville's biggest

951
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: games are on Fridays. Clemson goes to Louisville. Oh you

952
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: is at Bama the next day. Texas at Georgia Is

953
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: your favorite here? Yeah, I'd say Texas Georgia leader in

954
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: the clubhouse. Week twelve, Week thirteen, USC at Oregon is

955
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: the leader in the clubhouse. I will confidently tell you

956
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: that I know Tennessee, Florida could be big, Missouri OU

957
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: could be big. Louisville SMU, Nebraska, Penn State, USC Oregon

958
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: clear leader in the clubhouse there and Week fourteen OU

959
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: or Ohio State Michigan is always the leader in the

960
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: clubhouse until otherwise noted during rivalry week. That is a

961
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: new rule on this show, only in the last few years.

962
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: So I hope I helped. It's hard to forecast this stuff.

963
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of college football. That's why we make

964
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: the decision like six days out instead of six months out.

965
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: A lot of those games you can already bet on,

966
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: you know, Fandel exclusive odds provider of the show. There is,

967
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: there's a solid prop market. I'm told right now as

968
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: to when my head cold is going to clear half

969
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: head cold, half allergies. Being on airplanes multiple times per

970
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,479
Speaker 1: week has not helped. But yeah, the odds much as

971
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 1: was the case with the Pope earlier today. How about

972
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: the Pope coming out of nowhere Chicago Pope takes it,

973
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: and he wasn't even in the top four in the

974
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: odds market five minutes before the white smoke appeared. I'm

975
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: not sure it was on FanDuel, but some of the

976
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: other odds markets it was. But at FanDuel, anything college

1000
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 1: up with a question. This just kind of got lost

1001
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: in the fray of everything else. Listen to that stack

1002
00:55:55,680 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: of papers. It's been a heavy show tonight. So yeah,

1003
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: with all this other stuff getting talked about, there was

1004
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: a headline yesterday. Colby saw it in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He said,

1005
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: I saw the SEC is considering moving to nine conference games.

1006
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 1: Are they finally going to do the right thing and

1007
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 1: move to nine like everyone else? Now here's what he's

1008
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: talking about. Seth Emerson and Andrew marshand over on The Athletic.

1009
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: They reported that ESPN is ready to fork over an

1010
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: extra fifty to eighty million dollars a year to the

1011
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: SEC if they add a ninth conference game on their schedules,

1012
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 1: not fifty to eighty million per team, fifty to eighty

1013
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 1: million for the conference to distribute amongst their member institutions.

1014
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:51,760
Speaker 1: That's not a surprise. I guess the SEC has flirted

1015
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: with this idea for a while, but I did notice

1016
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: the question there said, are they going to do the

1017
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: right thing and go to nine league games? My question

1018
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 1: is what makes that the right thing? Is it because

1019
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: you want them to go to nine? Is that what

1020
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: makes it right? That's fair. I'd love for them to

1021
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: go to nine too. I've held that stance for a

1022
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 1: long time. But then the counter to that has always

1023
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: been I've said, if I were them, I wouldn't go

1024
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: to nine. Why not, Josh, you don't want to watch

1025
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: more great games? Of course? I do what you think

1026
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: the SEC is scared of competition, Not necessarily that as

1027
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: much as I think the SEC is scared that the

1028
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: increased level of competition would be held against them because

1029
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: this sport has not figured out how to properly define

1030
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: strength of schedule. It's been a theme on this show

1031
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: for several years, and anytime anyone has talked about this,

1032
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: should the SEC expand to nine conference games. I have maintained, Yeah,

1033
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: they should, they want to, but you got to convince

1034
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: them they're not going to be punished for it. What

1035
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: does that mean, Well, it means something like this. So

1036
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 1: for example, you know, we do our own strength of

1037
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: schedule metric around here, you can do yours. Connolly does one,

1038
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: everyone does one. They end up basically looking the same.

1039
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: Right now, we have ten of the top eleven toughest

1040
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: schedules in the country being SEC schedules this year. Doesn't

1041
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: mean the league's going to be any good or it

1042
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: could be the most elite conference we've ever seen. Doesn't

1043
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: prove anything other than we think SEC teams are going

1044
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: to have a pretty tough schedule this year. So that's okay.

1045
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: That's not the worst thing in the world, as long

1046
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: as at the end of the road, there's an understanding

1047
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: when you're fielding the playoff or when you're ranking teams

1048
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: period that that has to properly be taken into the equation.

1049
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: But it's not. In college football far too often, it's

1050
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: not as much as people claim they're willing to in August.

1051
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: Come December, that same person is screaming you are what

1052
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: your record says you are at the top of their lungs.

1053
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: It's a lie. In college football, you're not always what

1054
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: your record says you are. NFL, that's the way they

1055
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: do it. On Sundays. Cool, go watch pro football. A

1056
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: lot of people do, go watch pro football, but just

1057
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: don't take the Sunday logic and try and apply it

1058
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: to Saturday because it doesn't fit on Saturday. So in

1059
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: the SEC, it's as simple as this. They've been talking

1060
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: about this, they've been meeting about this. If you convince

1061
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: them that strength of schedule is going to be properly

1062
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: interpreted and applied, they're going to go to nine league

1063
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: games they want to. You know what that does for

1064
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: ticket sales. When Georgia knows they've got an extra visit

1065
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: from Ole miss or Florida knows they've got an extra

1066
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: visit from Texas on the schedule, it does wonders for

1067
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: season ticket value and sales. It does wonders for television ratings,

1068
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: which generate more money for the league. It does wonders.

1069
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: They all want it, believe it or not. This will

1070
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: come as a mild shock to some of you. A

1071
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: lot of the coaches want it. You know, why. A

1072
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: lot of them love the competition. A lot of them

1073
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: love it. What they don't love is the competition. But

1074
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: then you get punished for it because because on a Saturday,

1075
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: if I play Texas and lose to them twenty three

1076
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: to twenty, but then my friend over here plays Utsa

1077
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: and beats them twenty three to twenty. He's one and

1078
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: ozer and I'm in one, and Upholster looks at us

1079
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: and says, well, he's got to be better than you.

1080
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 1: He won today, you lost, Yeah, but I played Texas

1081
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: and barely lost to him. And once we extrapolate that

1082
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: over the course of an entire season, you see it

1083
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: happen every December. I'm not explaining something to you you

1084
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: don't already get, but you're never getting the sec to

1085
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: move off of this if you don't convince them to

1086
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: their satisfaction that they won't be punished for it. It's

1087
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: as long and as short as that immunity. And I

1088
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: agree with him. I want to see him go to nine.

1089
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: But I've agreed with him. If I were them, I

1090
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: would not have gone to nine yet. It's what I'm

1091
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: trying to say, But I would want to go to

1092
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: nine and I do want them to go to nine,

1093
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: but I think the system has to be calibrated properly

1094
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: to incentive them to do so. Appreciate you guys so

1095
