This is weird, right, 16 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 4: So Colin moved to the Midwest following me. Right, let's 17 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 4: just be honest. I followed him to Fox to where 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 4: I grew up in southern California. Then he follows me 19 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 4: to the Midwest. But now I'm in California and I 20 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 4: ease in parts unknown. 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 3: Right. 22 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 4: Hey, this is just the thing. I have to state 23 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 4: this because it's true. Obviously, Colin I for years have 24 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 4: gone back and forth about the hat backwards thing that 25 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 4: he has right. But here's my thing. I'm I'm gonna 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 4: state this because I know it to be true. A 27 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 4: lot of you saw our Boycoin Cowherd at Live Golf 28 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 4: last weekend. Right, Okay, can we get together and form 29 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 4: some sort of petition or have some sort of on 30 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 4: air teaching Colin how to wear a hat, Because if 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,919 Speaker 4: you're going to criticize others for wearing their hat backwards 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 4: and how it looks, that's fine, then I'm going to 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 4: criticize you for not understanding the basics of how to 34 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 4: wear a ball cap, which is you don't put it 35 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 4: on top of your hair so that your hair is 36 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 4: still showing. That's not ball cap wearing one on one. 37 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 4: Everybody knows it. And when you wear it that way, 38 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 4: much like he believes you have your hat backwards, you 39 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 4: wear it that way, it gives off the perception of 40 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 4: you're trying to be a younger bro. It's not actually try. 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 4: I disagree, but again he's talking about perception. I'm telling you, 42 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 4: the perception is that guy's never played a sport in 43 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 4: his life, definitely never played baseball. If he doesn't know 44 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 4: how to wear a ball cap, is that fair? Okay? 45 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 4: So I just I wanted. I was waiting for this day, 46 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 4: maybe the last day I fill in for Colin. Very possible. Okay, 47 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 4: I love my boy, but I saw him last week 48 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 4: and I was like, can middlekough middle cooff doesn't have 49 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 4: this because he has no hair? 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: Right? 51 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 4: He fired it before quit on him. I got it. 52 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 4: Colin has great hair. That's real hair. He's got there. 53 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 4: There's no implans, no nothing. That's a real, real mop 54 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 4: And he's been living on this hat backwards thing. He 55 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 4: got the Cowboys coach turning his hat around. That really 56 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 4: happened this year. Great mission accomplished, Colin Cowhert. But dude, 57 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 4: what are you doing? All right, let's get to the 58 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: story of the day Michigan was levied fines and suspensions. 59 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 4: And look, I don't know if this comes to be. 60 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 4: And the reason I say that is I'm actually a 61 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 4: coach for Wisconsin Green Bay, which Division one program. We 62 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 4: are under you know, NCAA rules and regulations, just like 63 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 4: anybody else. And what I have come to learn first 64 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 4: observing as a basketball analyst and a radio show host 65 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 4: and a TV yaker, and now I know is the 66 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: general thought in college athletics of the NCAA and the 67 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 4: NCAA is not some d'arconian organization made it out to be. 68 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 4: It's just the conglomerate of schools. And you know, it's 69 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: like being mad at Congress when there's actually every state 70 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: has the right to vote their rights. They vote their 71 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 4: opinions for their constituents. And you just say, I don't 72 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 4: like Congress. Well yeah, well there's fifty states, so you 73 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 4: don't like the individual representatives. These are the individual schools. 74 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: But there is. 75 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 4: The Board of Infractions. 76 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: Right. 77 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 4: The general thought for most people is, no matter what 78 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 4: rules the NCAA comes up with, if you sue, they'll lose. 79 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 4: Now here's where the NCAA has gotten smart over the 80 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: past couple of years. The new rules and regulations in 81 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 4: terms of roster limitations and this opt in that our 82 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 4: program is a part of. In most college athletic programs 83 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 4: outside the IVY League are a part of. All of 84 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 4: these rules supposedly are lawsuit proof, right, there's a reason 85 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: that they're put in place. They feel like their lawsuit 86 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 4: proof and they'll stabilize things for the next couple of 87 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 4: years dream scenario, maybe even ten years of some form 88 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 4: of stabilization. So I say that because when I read 89 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 4: to you what Michigan's been punished, just understand that very 90 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 4: likely that Michigan appeals, ensues and tries to get out 91 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 4: of it. Right, Okay, So I don't need to go 92 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: through what they were doing with the sign stealing. I 93 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: can only tell you that in my opinion without seeing 94 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 4: how much Jim harbaughd knew. It's one of those Hey, 95 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 4: I don't care you're doing advanced scouting, Give me the calls, 96 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 4: get them for me. Give me the calls. And when 97 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 4: you're running a program as big as Michigan, in my program, 98 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 4: you know my email right now, I have to It's 99 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 4: I have to do every I'm a CEO. I have 100 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 4: to worry about every little different department and oh yeah, 101 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 4: by the way, much like Doge, what can we cut, 102 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 4: what can we keep? How little can we spend to 103 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 4: get the most out of it because we have to 104 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 4: compensate the student athlete. Now, but I'm gonna commend the NCAA. Look, 105 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 4: do I think this was a dog and pony show? 106 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 4: I do? Do I think was that this was? Do 107 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 4: I think there's another Connor Stallions out there? I'm not sure. 108 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 4: I don't know. I do know that every college program, 109 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 4: basketball or football, tries to figure out what the signs 110 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: are for the other for the other team, and that's 111 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: what you do. 112 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 3: What you doing. 113 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 4: You're not allowed unless you're playing in a tournament in basketball, 114 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 4: to scout in person. So you watch on video and 115 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 4: if they pull on their ear, if they tug on 116 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 4: their jersey, if they tap their head, you try and 117 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 4: figure out what exactly the set is, what exactly they're doing, 118 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 4: so you know what's coming. And if you can't pick 119 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 4: it up on video, or if if you can, you 120 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 4: call somebody who's played them, because every coach has an 121 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 4: assistant or a manager that's sitting on their bench. And 122 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 4: when you say that's it's earpool, write that down, earpool, 123 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 4: what is it? Hey? Then you go in at halftime 124 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 4: and you make sure that you have it listed. So 125 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 4: if they pull out their ear in the second half, 126 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 4: this is what they're doing. And usually you know beforehand 127 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 4: because you've talked to coaches that have coached against them, 128 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 4: because they keep a running tab of what they're calling 129 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 4: and how it coincides with what they're doing on the floor. 130 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 4: Makes sense. Okay, So my point is I'm not excusing 131 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 4: the behavior of Michigan. I'm just telling you that everybody, 132 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 4: on some form or fashion does it feels like they 133 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 4: overdid it and they got caught and then they won. 134 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 4: But once they started winning, they probably they didn't have 135 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 4: this brogram in place and they were in people's heads. 136 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 4: And oh yeah, by the way, if you didn't know 137 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 4: signs dealing took place, why do you have three different 138 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 4: people putting the signs out? Because two are fake signs? Right, 139 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 4: you know they're looking, so let's not act like you're 140 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 4: surprised that there's somebody in the stands or some video 141 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 4: camera trying to get it. That was Bill belichick entire argument. Right, 142 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 4: we film the game. They're running in signs at the game. 143 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 4: Why can't we just film the sideline and then what 144 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 4: it coincides with on the field. The big question for 145 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 4: Belichick was were they filming practice? That, of course, is 146 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 4: a no no. And most coaches are incredibly paranoid. If 147 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 4: they say a video camera running when they're in an 148 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 4: empty gym or an empty stadium, Okay, they'll freak out. 149 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 4: They'll have somebody go put a towel over it or 150 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 4: whatever they do. I mean, heck, if you played youth football, 151 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 4: and I did you know this? Right before the game, 152 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 4: You'll be running through plays. What do you do with 153 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 4: the players who aren't involved? You line them up so 154 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 4: that the other coach can't look down and see what 155 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: you're doing. Right, And every high school football coach, college 156 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 4: football coach has been paranoid for years at practice, at 157 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 4: covering up what you're doing. You know, high school coaches 158 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 4: especially making sure there's empty stadiums when they're running through 159 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 4: their game plan for the next day. So let's not 160 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 4: act like we're surprised that this happens or that Michigan's 161 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 4: the only one doing it. They got caught doing it 162 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 4: at a higher level and then ultimately succeeding while doing it. 163 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 4: Here's the punishment. Four years of probation, financial penalties, A 164 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars fine plus ten percent of the budget 165 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 4: of the football program, an equivalent to the anticipated loss 166 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 4: of all postseason competition revenue sharing associated with the twenty 167 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 4: twenty five twenty twenty six football seasons. A fine equivalent 168 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 4: to the cost of ten percent of scholarships awarded to 169 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 4: Michigan's football programs in the twenty five to twenty six 170 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 4: academic year. A twenty five percent reduction official football visits 171 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 4: in twenty five to twenty six, a fourteen week probation 172 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 4: recruiting communications in the football program during the probation period. 173 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 4: And then Connor Stallion's eight year show cause. Harbaugh, you 174 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 4: knew he had a ten year show cause. Denard Robinson 175 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 4: wasn't he shoelaces, wasn't his nickname when he played our 176 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 4: shoe strings when he played there as quarterback? Three year 177 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 4: show cause, restricted from all athletically really activities. That's actually 178 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 4: a big one. That means he can't really coach in 179 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 4: college football, whereas the show cause means you have to 180 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: show cause for hiring somebody. It doesn't mean you can't coach. 181 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 4: You can't get the job. You have to just go 182 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 4: through an infractions committee and say you're sorry and say 183 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 4: you've improved. It's much like the probation department, you know, 184 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 4: when you're trying to remember the start of Shawshank redemption, 185 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 4: where you have to say that you're a changed man 186 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 4: type deal. And then Sharon Moore got a two year 187 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 4: show cause, but he's still the head coach, so that 188 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 4: doesn't matter. And he suspended a total of three games 189 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 4: Michigan imposed a two game suspension for this year. The 190 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 4: panel says he's got to be suspended one additional game. 191 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 4: Do you want to know why? It's an awesome punishment 192 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 4: because it hits them in the wallet. They're not taking 193 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 4: down a banner that we know they earned and that 194 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 4: you can't. 195 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 5: Do. 196 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 4: You guys, remember Men in Black? Right, Remember the little 197 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 4: silver thing that Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones would 198 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 4: hold up and press it and everybody's memory would be 199 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 4: a race. Your short term memories is zapped. Don't you 200 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 4: wish that occurred in life? Wouldn'd be so cool? You're 201 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 4: like in an argument with your girlfriend and your wife 202 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 4: and you're just like two, Like what we're even arguing about? 203 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 4: I don't know, Mabe, how you doing right? Reset? Well, 204 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 4: the that's called a neuralizer. Don't ask me how I know, 205 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 4: O gay Men in Black called it a neuralizer. There 206 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 4: is no neuralizer where we can hit the button. And 207 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: Louisville's twenty thirteen NCAA Championship is a race for our 208 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 4: memory banks. 209 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 3: Right. 210 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 4: We all saw it. We saw Trey Burke cleanly block 211 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 4: Peyton Siva. It didn't get called as a clean block 212 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 4: It changed the momentum of that game, and Rick Patino's 213 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: Louisville Cardinal, Hey, Luke Hancock and the boys end up 214 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 4: winning a national championship. That's a real thing. Banner, No banner. 215 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 4: Nobody's giving back their rings, nobody's saying I'm not an 216 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 4: NCAA champion. That's just dumb. How do you really punish 217 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 4: a university? And the answer is you take the money, 218 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 4: right and who does this ultimately hurt? That's a lot 219 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 4: of money. Ten percent of the budget of the football 220 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 4: program at the University of Michigan. Okay, we calculating coaches 221 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 4: salaries in the budget, yep, we calculate a recruiting budget, yep. 222 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 4: Are we calculating rev share in that budget. I don't 223 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 4: know that it's going to be a lot of money. Now, 224 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 4: I'm guessing miniSIM Michigan will appeal and they'll probably sue 225 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 4: because it's a lot of money. And as much as 226 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 4: lawyer fees are a lot of money, I just ten 227 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 4: percent of scholarships a word a Michigan football program. Okay, 228 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 4: So what is an eighty thousand dollars scholarship a year? 229 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 4: Nine ten percent is eight grand eight grand times what 230 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 4: do you have one hundred and five Now in college football, 231 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 4: you do the math, that's a lot of money. That's 232 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 4: just the eight hundred or so grand plus you got 233 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 4: to take what you were going to get. And you're like, well, 234 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 4: what if they didn't make the postseason? Now what they're 235 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: talking about is everyone in your league gets a portion 236 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 4: of the postseason revenue. You get I believe, two shares 237 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: if you play, and then if you win, you get 238 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 4: additional shares of it. So that's a lot of money. 239 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 4: Now they didn't and I apparently can't take the TV revenue, 240 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 4: They can't take the in stadium revenue. Right where you're 241 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 4: making probably I don't know, Michigan one hundred thousand people. 242 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 4: I can only estimate between one hundred and one hundred 243 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 4: and fifty million dollars per year from in stadium revenue. 244 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 4: So they'll be fine, don't get me wrong. But taking 245 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 4: away the money is the only way to truly, truly 246 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 4: punish college sports programs because it is all about the money. Now, 247 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 4: you want to know it hurts the most. I would 248 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,239 Speaker 4: not want to be the coach of Michigan softball, Michigan baseball, 249 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 4: swim and diving right I feel terrible for Michigan hockey 250 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 4: women's basketball because Dusty May. They raised a bunch of money. 251 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 4: They got a squad. I know they wanted to play us. 252 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 4: Who don't want to play us? And we're like, I 253 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 4: don't really want to get forty piece by Michigan. No thanks, 254 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 4: not into that. They got a squad there. I don't 255 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 4: know what their budget is. Probably ten million dollars right, 256 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 4: maybe maybe more fifteen I don't know. They have a 257 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 4: top ten program. They're awesome, right, and they already have 258 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 4: the contracts for their roster of football players, right, those 259 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 4: contracts are done. They have to pay those players, and 260 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 4: I'm guessing it's somewhere in the twenty twenty five million 261 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 4: dollar range overall with salaries, right, because Ohio State was 262 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 4: they won the national championship. Everybody said they were kind 263 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: of top of the top of the heap in the 264 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 4: twenties twenty million, So you got to calculate one, every 265 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 4: Michigan's gonna try and get to that level, and then 266 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 4: two there's some sort of inflation. Can we say twenty 267 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 4: five million? 268 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 3: Right? 269 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 4: Then you got a factor in the coaching staff you're 270 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 4: talking about. I don't know somewhere in the fifty million 271 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 4: dollar variety. They have to be. You have to be 272 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 4: competitive in football, you have to be competitive in basketball 273 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 4: because that's where you make your money. So what I 274 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 4: love is that they hit him where it hurts. Again, 275 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 4: I'm not saying I agree or disagree with that. I 276 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 4: don't know all the facts in the case, and I 277 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 4: don't have the time to kind of delineate how big 278 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 4: a deal this actually is. I do think that this 279 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 4: is kind of classic NCAA and it's like anything else, 280 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 4: like you know, supposedly this is Ohio State fans finding 281 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 4: this out, turning them in. We saw what likely Texas 282 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 4: fans did to John Mattier this week. It's like, you A, 283 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 4: allowing fans to matter is a mistake in litigating something 284 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 4: like this, in my opinion, allowing them to be whistleblowers 285 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 4: and oh my gosh, gotcha, because what that does is 286 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 4: now Michigan fans are going to have their cell phones 287 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 4: on and try and find Ohio State guys and you know, 288 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 4: there's all this, you know, all this back and forth, 289 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 4: but whatever, Okay, they did a lengthy investigation, this is 290 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 4: what they found out, and for years it was scholarship 291 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 4: productions right and taking down banners. Well, you can't take 292 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 4: away scholarships now, because if you take away a player's scholarship, 293 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 4: you say hey, instead of I think it's one hundred 294 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 4: and five, I'm sorry, we don't have a football program. 295 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 4: I don't care about those numbers that used to be 296 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 4: eighty five. And what they've done is they've done instead 297 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 4: of scholarship limitations, it's roster limitations, it's roster limitations. And 298 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 4: again we were told that the reason they did roster limitations, 299 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 4: says scholarship limitations is their lawsuit proof that this is 300 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 4: what This is how sports can survive lawsuits. Where you're 301 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 4: not cutting scholarships, you're simply cutting roster spots. That's all 302 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 4: you can have. You can do. Every spot can be 303 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 4: a scholarship, or half of them can be scholarships, or 304 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 4: none of them can be spot. You can do whatever 305 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 4: you want within your own domain. If you opted in, 306 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 4: and Michigan of course opted in, I'm Doug Gotliebin for Colin. 307 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 4: This is the hurt Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio app. What 308 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 4: you need to know is what you need to know 309 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 4: is Michigan got hit. What it hurts, right, got hit 310 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 4: where it hurts in the wallet, in the wallet and 311 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 4: if you ask any Michigan coach or administrator, okay, four years, 312 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 4: they felt like, despite the fact we're Michigan, uh that 313 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 4: the hardest part for them was raising the money and 314 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 4: getting up to the level of Ohio State because Ohio 315 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 4: State has never cared about anything other than how can 316 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 4: we put the best team on the field. Michigan liked 317 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 4: to have the academic repute, Well how state just want 318 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 4: to win championships. Ohio States run fast and loose with 319 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 4: rules for a lifetime, especially in the football side. Okay, 320 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 4: I'm guessing probably Michigan did too, only they like Notre Dame, 321 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 4: like to feel like they're academically above it. They finally 322 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 4: got to the level of full investment from the university 323 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 4: on the football program, and now they're losing what ten 324 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 4: percent of their budget and all of their posts what 325 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 4: would have been postseason revenue. And my guess is what 326 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 4: that hurts most is all the Olympic sports, the ones 327 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 4: that you don't hear about. Olympic sports are picked the 328 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 4: one you don't soccer, hockey, track and field, lacrosse, any 329 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 4: of those ones. Their budgets chopped and what you do 330 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 4: is then you move it over cleverly to Michigan football. 331 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 4: Well you can't. We cut the budget. There's always ways, 332 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 4: always ways.

That's right in college basketball, 355 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 4: that's right. Yeah, So what's that like? That's what everybody asks. 356 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 4: That everybody asks, And I'll share with you a lot 357 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 4: if you'd like. And it's this is it's a fascinating, 358 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 4: fascinating I don't want to say experiment, but just time 359 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 4: of change in all business. Right, I'll give you an example. Okay, 360 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 4: it's not just college sports. I think pro sports, especially basketball, 361 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 4: is about to change greatly. I'll explain in a second. 362 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 4: I think football. I think NFL football is going to change. 363 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 4: I mean the perfect example is, yes, Archie Manning, just 364 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 4: like arch man, just like Peyton Manning, just like, why 365 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 4: am I forgetting Peyton Manning? What was the two time 366 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 4: Super Bowl champion? Why am I the other Manning? Eli Manning? Sorry, Okay, 367 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 4: gonna stay four years. Not because of nil, but because 368 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 4: they believe, much like most people, that the more reps 369 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 4: you have, the more ready you are, The more ready 370 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 4: you are, the more confidence you have, the more confidence 371 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 4: you have. The better you play initially, the better you 372 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 4: play initially, the easier it is for you to maintain. 373 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 4: You get like a year and a half to be 374 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 4: a starting quarterback in the NFL, and if you can't 375 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 4: do it, it's a top pick. Then you're out right 376 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 4: and you become a career backup, or you bounce around 377 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 4: chasing checks. You're doing the like the Jets quarterback. Right, 378 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 4: I mean this is his third team in three years. Yeah, 379 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 4: Justin Field's third team in three years. Why is that? 380 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 4: Because he basically got a year and a half. Bears Dion' 381 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 4: think he's good enough, They moved on, goes to steal 382 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 4: Steelers knew he wasn't good enough. Same thing, rinse repeat, 383 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 4: rinse repeat. So I think that the arch Manning thing 384 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 4: doesn't have a ton to do with nil or rev 385 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 4: share or the money that he's making. Kid was making 386 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 4: money as comes from money. Money isn't the driving force. 387 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 4: But I do think that the NFL is going to change. 388 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 4: The draft is so much different now because everybody is older, 389 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 4: and they're older because they stay in school longer. They 390 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 4: stay in school longer because there's not the desperation for 391 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 4: the NFL check the way there used to be, which 392 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 4: in many ways is a good thing. There are bad 393 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 4: things about Nilka, there are bad things about compensating athletes, 394 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 4: but the fact that they are staying in school longer 395 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 4: is not one of them. It is a benefit. Now, 396 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 4: let's not act like that was the intent of it. Okay, 397 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 4: No one ever said, hey, you know, once we start 398 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 4: paying players, they're going to stay in school longer. Nobody 399 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 4: said that it's an ancillary benefit. It's an unintended consequence, 400 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 4: but it is something that happens. So there's a smaller 401 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 4: pool of prospects for the NFL Draft, but you have 402 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 4: more tape on them. On the other hand, they some 403 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 4: of them have played at three or four schools, five 404 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: schools even so it's harder to get the background on 405 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 4: what type of kit he is if he's only been 406 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 4: in a place for six months before he declares for 407 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 4: the NFL Draft. Right, it's very different. And this I 408 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 4: believe North Carolina's got seventy new players, Bill belchiks seventy 409 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 4: new players, and like they're introducing themselves to each other, 410 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 4: like in warm up lines, and my name is Jim, 411 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 4: where are you from? Oklahoma State? Milwa Manter sixty five 412 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 4: new players, and you have like fifteen padded practices before 413 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 4: you play a real football game. Fifteen. Remember most of 414 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 4: these teams don't have spring games. A lot of these 415 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 4: players are picked up in the spring, some in the summer, 416 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 4: some right before the fall. So you would think your 417 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 4: offenses and your defenses might be a little bit more rudimentary. 418 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 4: College offenses have never been as ornate as pro offenses. 419 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 4: Same thing with defenses, and that may actually regress, whereas 420 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 4: in previous years you would think college offenses were kind 421 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 4: of creating things that the NFL copied. So sports is changing. 422 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 4: In baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers are the talk of Major 423 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 4: League Baseball? 424 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 5: Right? 425 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 4: What are they won in a row? Twenty two in 426 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 4: a row or something? Twenty one in a row, twelve 427 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 4: in a row? I like the twenty two is a 428 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 4: better number. It was better. It was better. And we 429 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 4: have the greatest SoundBite ever, the most Wisconsin thing ever. 430 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 4: We'll share with you later on the show. They won 431 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 4: twelve in a row. But the Brewers were good last year. 432 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 4: Remember this a Brewers team that lost their manager to 433 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,959 Speaker 4: their rival the Cubs. Why because Craig Council was like 434 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 4: Brewers are awesome, but the like colihood of winning is 435 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 4: increased when you go to the Cubs because they have 436 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 4: more money. Right the Brewers are built. I've talked to 437 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 4: their general manager. I've talked to their manager, and they 438 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 4: told me that every position player they draft was a 439 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 4: shortstop at some point in their lives. Baseball has changed 440 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 4: with the pitchclock, but more than anything with the bases, 441 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 4: with the lack of ships, athleticism is a much bigger 442 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 4: part of the game. So they're not just the best 443 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 4: team in baseball. They tried to build the best most 444 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 4: athletic team in baseball. It's one of the things that's 445 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 4: happened to the Yankees going back to that past couple 446 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 4: of years is they were built for a four gone 447 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 4: era of just hit home runs or walk or strikeout, 448 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 4: and now you can manufacture runs. So sports changes in 449 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 4: a myriad of ways, and in college sports it's changed 450 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 4: because we're now we're paying the players. Right now, we're 451 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 4: paying the players. And what you find is, look, I 452 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 4: have one full year now in the bank. I got 453 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 4: the job at the middle of the end of May 454 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 4: last year. Hey, as you know, the portal opens in March, 455 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 4: so I didn't have a full season that way, and 456 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 4: not everything that I believe or maybe even I know 457 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 4: is accurate at the highest level because we are not 458 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 4: at the highest level, but I do know in many 459 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 4: ways how it operates. So Thomas Hammock is the head 460 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 4: coach of Northern Illinois. Okay, what do you remember about 461 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 4: Northern Illinois last season? They beat Notre Dame. Right, Notre 462 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 4: Dame beat text A and M on the road, and 463 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 4: they come back home, they get beat by by by 464 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 4: Northern Illinois and then Northern Illinois has average season after that. 465 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 4: So Northern Illinois, I'm sure, I'm might be sure. I'm 466 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 4: guessing it's a tough putt financially for them. Now they're 467 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 4: going to join our league in basketball only basketball and 468 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 4: I think Olympic Sports starting next year. And the Illinois schools, 469 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 4: the non Champagne Urbana, Right, that's the main universe. When 470 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 4: you say Illinois, that's the main campus. But they have 471 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 4: Eastern Illinois, they have Western Illinois, they have Southern Illinois, 472 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 4: the Sulukis, they have Northern Illinois, the Huskies. They got 473 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 4: different schools, have different financial issues. Western Illinois a ton 474 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 4: of financial issues, like school could close down financial issues 475 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 4: in the Wisconsin system. Our school and Madison University Wisconsin 476 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 4: are the only two that are growing. We've gone from 477 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 4: like seven eight, nine thousand. We're twelve thousand students this 478 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 4: year and we're expanding. But all the other university Wisconsin's stout, 479 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 4: Steven's Point, River Falls, even Milwaukee, they're shrinking. So there's 480 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 4: a fight over budget. But the bigger thing is, Okay, 481 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 4: how how do you build a college football college basketball 482 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 4: program when you're trying to have a high retention rate? 483 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 4: Bring kids back, right, bring kids back every year. Because 484 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 4: we all know, like that's what Purdue has done. That's 485 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 4: one of the reasons that they win. Purdue is like 486 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 4: the model for college basketball. Yes, they sprinkle in a 487 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 4: transfer here at transfer there. This year they take in 488 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 4: an Israeli point guard to go with maybe the best 489 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 4: point guard in the country. They should be really, really good. 490 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 4: But the big thing for Purdue is like they want 491 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 4: their guys to stay. So I want you to listen 492 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 4: to something that Thomas Hammick said at a press conference 493 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 4: earlier this week. I posted it. It's got over a 494 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 4: million views just on my feet alone. Guessing this thing's 495 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 4: called viral you're talking five to ten million views or 496 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 4: something overall. This is the head coach of North Illinois. 497 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 5: I enjoyed my college experience. I didn't get one dime, 498 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 5: but the lessons I learned was more valuable than any 499 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 5: money you can ever pay me. And I appreciate that 500 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 5: because that is long term. People are losing the fact 501 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 5: that this is short term. I coached in the National 502 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 5: Football League for five years. 503 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 2: Five years. 504 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 5: Don't lose focus or work the long term. Get your degree, 505 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 5: learn valuable lesson that's going to help you in the 506 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 5: long term of your life. That's the whole purpose. This 507 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 5: is a transition from being a kid to a grown up, 508 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 5: and I hope people don't lose focus of that. 509 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 4: So keep in mind. This is Thomas Hammock, who is 510 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 4: an alum of Northern Illinois. Right he played football there 511 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 4: back in the heyday in NA nine to two thousand 512 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 4: and two thousand and two. Right then he went to 513 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 4: Madison and he got his master's and he started coaching football. 514 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 4: And I understand that what happens is the human brain 515 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 4: works this way. 516 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 3: I here. 517 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 4: Pick the college coach. You know, when Nick Stables coach, 518 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 4: he's making ten million dollars. Right, so he makes ten million, 519 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 4: the players make nothing. There's there's two parts to it. 520 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 4: First part is do I think that at the very 521 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 4: very top of the salary pool, college coaches are overpaid? 522 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 523 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, probably, But I also think they're CEOs of companies. 524 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 4: I'm a CEO of a company. The buck stops here. 525 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 4: I have to manage my recruiting budget, like we we had. 526 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 4: We had to change our black uniforms, okay, but to 527 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 4: put in a full set of Adidas uniforms, it's like 528 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 4: twenty nine hundred bucks. We had to change uniforms because 529 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 4: they're not NCAA compliant. In the in the chance that 530 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 4: we make the NCAA tournament this year, we could only 531 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 4: wear the gray uniforms. It's the only ones that were 532 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 4: NCAA compliant. So we redid the white ones. But they're like, yeah, 533 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 4: we're not going to wear white in the na tournament anyway, right, 534 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 4: Like we're not going to be a lower seed than anybody. 535 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 4: So in an effort to save money, it's a real thing, 536 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 4: we just redid the tops. That's it. So it's seventeen 537 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 4: hundred bucks instead of twenty nine hundred bucks. Right, And 538 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 4: you're like, well, what is that that affords me a 539 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 4: little bit more money? You know, we call back every 540 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 4: vendor that we use. We have an analytics company that 541 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 4: I think is outstanding I would love to have, and 542 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 4: we got like the Cadillac setup. I had to have 543 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 4: an uncomfortable conversation like, hey, we either need to cut 544 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 4: this contract or trim it down or figure it out. 545 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 4: Why Because I need that money, because I got to 546 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 4: compensate players. I got to compensate my coaching staff. Remember 547 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 4: Thomas Hammock. You may sit there think you know whatever 548 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 4: he makes at Northern Illinois has head coach. He started 549 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 4: as a GA at Wisconsin, a GA, you're not getting 550 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,239 Speaker 4: any money, You're simply getting your school paid for. Then 551 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 4: he was a running back coach at his alma mater 552 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 4: for a year. Then he was with the Minnesota Vikings 553 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 4: in the NFL for three years right starting as the 554 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 4: running backs coach and then working at co offensive coordinator 555 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 4: and running backs coach. So now he started creeping into 556 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 4: the six figures area. Then he coached back at Wisconsin. 557 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 4: Then he was with the Ravens again as the running 558 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 4: back coach for four years. So he has worked since 559 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 4: he graduated college in two thousand and two till now, hey, 560 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 4: this is when he got this head coaching. First head 561 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 4: coaching break was seventeen years later. She's like, oh my gosh, 562 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 4: look at how much money Thomas Hammock makes. Dude, he 563 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 4: worked seventeen years to get to that spot. But here's 564 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 4: the honest question, and look, this is is it some 565 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 4: of it recruiting, Yeah, but a lot of it is true. 566 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 4: How are we going to have alumni games in college sports? Alumniac? 567 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 4: What's what's your alma mater? There's one other thing he 568 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 4: didn't calculate in there he didn't talk about. And you 569 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,719 Speaker 4: can follow me on Twitter at Gottlieb Show. You can 570 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 4: see this the fold context of the rant. If you 571 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 4: haven't heard already, we have no value as a society 572 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 4: now for getting into college getting into college. If you 573 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 4: don't know how hard it is to get into college, 574 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 4: you haven't had a kid apply for college recently. When 575 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 4: I was coming out of high school at Tustin High 576 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,959 Speaker 4: School in Orange County, California in nineteen ninety five, the 577 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 4: safety to all safety schools the easiest school to get 578 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 4: into in the cal state system, cause you have like 579 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 4: in order you had UC system that's U see Centa, Barber, UCLA, Berkeley, 580 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, then you have 581 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 4: the cow Poly system a little bit less. It's difficult still, Okay, 582 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 4: that's cal Poly that's in Pomona, and cal Poly San 583 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 4: Luis Obispo that's in uh sant l'sabispol Central Coast. Then 584 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 4: you have the cal states, which were easier and you 585 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 4: basically had to graduate like a two five. If you 586 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 4: had a pulse, you were getting in Santeo State. And 587 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 4: then if you want to party, went to Santage State. 588 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 4: If you want to smoke weed, you went to Humboldt 589 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 4: uh or to what's the other one that's up there? 590 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 4: Oh man, I can't remember. There's there's two that are 591 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 4: way up north right and everybody and you'd say, well, 592 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 4: I'm gonna major horticulture, Like, yeah, we know what you're doing. 593 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 3: Right. 594 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 4: San Diego State now is unbelievably hard to get into 595 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 4: one of the most difficult schools in the country to 596 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 4: get into. Why there's sports called their basketball team was awesome, 597 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 4: and then people are like, I could go to school 598 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 4: in San Diego, where do I sign up? Well, it's 599 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 4: become like you get a four point zero and not 600 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 4: get into Santue State and being in state, and of 601 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 4: course all the kids out of state want to come in. 602 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 4: Why do you want to have more out of state 603 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 4: kids come in if you're standing a state, because you 604 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 4: make more money international, you can charge whatever you want, 605 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 4: So there's no calculation or valuation from parents, agents, or 606 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 4: people on social media of getting into school and then 607 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:23,919 Speaker 4: the college experience growing becoming the dude he talks about 608 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 4: playing time. Like a lot of these kids, they hey, 609 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 4: if you're gonna give me, you know what I make 610 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 4: one point five x of what I make, they'll go 611 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 4: and just chase the dollar. And then they realize that's 612 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 4: it's the Peter principle. Do you guys know the Peter principles. 613 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 4: It's when you're promoted above the level of your competency. 614 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 4: Right if last year you were in the MAC and 615 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 4: you were a starter, and you transferred to the Big 616 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 4: ten and now you're not a star, You're like, man, 617 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 4: I was killing at the MAC. They promised me a chance, 618 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 4: they give me more money, Like, dude, that's not how 619 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 4: it works. You were in the MAC for a reason. 620 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 4: And again I know JJ Watt came from the Mac 621 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 4: and is a Hall of Famer when he transferred and 622 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 4: transition to a different position and played at Wisconsin. But 623 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 4: those stories are outliers. The reality is most guys who 624 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 4: leave and most teams leave that you lose your whole team, 625 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 4: whole team. And I just think it's very easy to say, well, 626 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 4: these kids deserve it, okay, but what but what do 627 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 4: you lose when you leave? What do you lose? You're 628 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 4: never going to have your jersey on a wall if 629 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 4: you leave, You're not. No one's going to retire outside 630 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 4: of Shador Sanders, but it's two years of Colorado. No 631 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 4: one's going to retire a number of a guy who 632 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 4: played there for a year or yeah, you know, as 633 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 4: a transfer, that just doesn't happen. That just doesn't happen. 634 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 4: And you have to understand where you fit in the 635 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 4: salary pool. You know, low level six figures on a 636 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 4: high major club in college basketball means you're not going 637 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 4: to play. I hope you like, So we tell both 638 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,720 Speaker 4: time like, you can go take that. That's great. If 639 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 4: it's your senior year and somebody offers you one hundred 640 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 4: and twenty five thousand dollars to play at name your 641 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 4: Power for School or the Big East. Do you know 642 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 4: that money means you're not going to play? And that's 643 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 4: great if that's what you want. Hey, I want some 644 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 4: money to start me on my professional life. Great. If 645 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 4: you want to play basketball, you need to have basketball 646 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 4: film to then go play. And then the other thing 647 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 4: we're doing, and this is more basketball pacific, but it's 648 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 4: also football specific. We're screwing up the minds of what 649 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 4: the market looks like. Let me give you an example. Okay, again, 650 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 4: in college basketball. And I know this because this is 651 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 4: the world in which I operated in when I'm not 652 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 4: hosting the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. There 653 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 4: are lots of players playing college basketball making two hundred 654 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 4: and fifty thousand dollars. Okay, And again, as I said, 655 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 4: two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Maybe you play, Maybe you don't, 656 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 4: Probably you play. Probably you're a starter now at a 657 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 4: Power for school at two hundred and fifty grand. You're 658 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 4: not the guy, but you're one of the guys. You 659 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 4: get done playing, Hey, remember the G League doesn't play 660 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 4: that you're not good enough to make the NBA. You 661 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 4: go overseas. Hey, I'm gonna go overseas. Do you want 662 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 4: to know what you make? Usually when you're playing overseas 663 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 4: your first year maybe six figures maybe, So what happens 664 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 4: you get done playing in your agent's like I got 665 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 4: a deal for you. Okay, it's second division. They hear 666 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 4: second division. They're like, no, no, no, no, this that works. 667 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 4: Second division Italy take care of everything. Live on the water. 668 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 4: It's great. All bill's taken care of seventy five thousand dollars. 669 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 4: Like I just made two hundred and fifty thousand dollars 670 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 4: playing at whatever state university in right, We've completely screwed 671 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 4: that up. Where seventy five thousand dollars for a rookie 672 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 4: in a to in Italy is a lot of money. 673 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 4: It's a great opportunity. And then the idea is every 674 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 4: year you stack you make more, more and more and 675 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 4: more and more and more and more, and eventually you 676 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 4: hopefully play in your league team and you make seven 677 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 4: figures and you send that money home. So the point 678 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 4: is that in everyone's effort to make sure college athletes 679 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 4: are compensated, we are screwing up all these different pieces 680 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 4: valuing getting into school valuing the actual college experience, valuing 681 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 4: in being a dude and having an alma mater, a 682 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 4: place to call home, and the market for when they 683 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,760 Speaker 4: get out of school. Other than that is a perfect 684 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 4: system right outside of that, Missus Lincoln, how is the show? 685 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 686 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 2: and noon Easter not a Empacific. 687 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 1: What up? 688 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 4: Which you Doug Gottlieben for Colin.

So the good 706 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 4: is after the first couple of series, look good, you know, 707 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 4: look confident, deliver the ball with accuracy, move well in 708 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 4: the pocket. Like I'm not going to sit here and 709 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 4: tell you I know the quarterback position like you do 710 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 4: or like coaches do. But look, it wasn't like he 711 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 4: didn't look like he belonged out there. He looked really good. 712 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 4: But that's first preseason game. It's not with the ones, 713 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 4: it's not against the ones. And there's a lot of 714 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 4: quarterbacks that have looked good, that are young, that are inexperienced, 715 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 4: and that are not starters. What's your assessment of Schador 716 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 4: at this point in time and how he looks. 717 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 3: I thought he looked great, to be honest with you, 718 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 3: And you're right, he wasn't going against the ones. But 719 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 3: very rarely do we see a quarterback drafted in the 720 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 3: fifth round play this way in his first NFL game. Ever, 721 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 3: we haven't seen that. I don't know if we can 722 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:56,760 Speaker 3: recall a quarterback that wasn't drafted in the first round 723 00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 3: playing like this his first game. Now, obviously we would 724 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 3: like to see how he would perform going against starters. 725 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 3: But when you watch that game, the touch, the anticipation, 726 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 3: and he played on time, that translates. Now. Maybe that 727 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 3: first touchdown throw in a back corner against the Ones. 728 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 3: When he threw that ball, I was like, ooh, that's 729 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 3: a pick. Oh great throw. Maybe that's an incompletion. But 730 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,839 Speaker 3: he just trusts himself so much, and when you play 731 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 3: with confidence, yeah, Like, it sucks that he's not going 732 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 3: to be able to play this weekend because of his 733 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 3: oblique injury, because I would have liked to scene how 734 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 3: he would have looked tomorrow. But that was a first 735 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 3: step in the right direction. He should be proud of himself. 736 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 3: But we know this playing sports, it's not what you 737 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 3: did yesterday. It's what can you do today and tomorrow 738 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 3: and every day moving forward. 739 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,280 Speaker 4: Okay, so let's get into it for a second. I actually, 740 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 4: you know, it's interesting. I love the path that he 741 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 4: had playing college football from this perspective, and is he 742 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 4: went to a level that was honestly well below his 743 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 4: level of competency coming out of high school. Right, he 744 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 4: was like a three four star or whatever, and you know, 745 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 4: he's recruited like Southern Miss level. So instead goes to 746 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 4: Jackson State, obviously plays for his dad, but he gets 747 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 4: to start for two years. Then they jump up and 748 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 4: he gets to start for two years at Colorado and 749 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 4: because he's I mean, this is honestly who should Maybe 750 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 4: this is a little bit too much in the Beltway, 751 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 4: you know, behind the curtain, but in recruiting at my 752 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,839 Speaker 4: level and really kind of at any level, but at 753 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 4: my level, we don't necessarily want a power five kid 754 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 4: transferring down because in order for a power five kid 755 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 4: to transfer down to our level, he'd likely didn't play. 756 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 4: So he doesn't have the confidence because he hasn't actually 757 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,280 Speaker 4: done it before, and because he was at a higher level, 758 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 4: he thinks that he's better than he actually is because 759 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 4: our level is actually pretty darn good. Right, So he 760 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 4: did the reverse, which is what we try and do 761 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 4: in recruiting, which is, hey start at this level, kill it, 762 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 4: and then go to the next level get paid. But 763 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 4: also play against better competition, but you have confidence. And 764 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 4: we've recruited two D two kids that have supreme self 765 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,280 Speaker 4: confidence because they were dominant Division two one, Division three player. Anyway, 766 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,320 Speaker 4: point is he's confident, he's well rounded, He's seen lots 767 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 4: of different football because he's actually played it. But what 768 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 4: everyone said was missing was really two things right. It 769 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 4: was the the lack of engagement in those meetings and 770 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 4: really it comes down to the feeling of entitlement. And 771 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 4: then two from a football perspective, it's does he have 772 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 4: a big time arm and is he a big time athlete? 773 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 4: Let's start with the entitlement piece. Does it as a 774 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 4: pro as a vet shows up, got the entourage, got 775 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 4: a guy carrying his bag, somebody filming him. That's part 776 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,359 Speaker 4: of who he is. Does that affect the locker room 777 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 4: at all? 778 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 3: No, we got to understand who is this. It's a 779 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 3: new day and age man. These young kids or young men, 780 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 3: they've grown up in a influencer era. Everything that they 781 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 3: do they want to record it. They want to have memories, 782 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,959 Speaker 3: did they they want to have everything on video. That's 783 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 3: just what this generation is and we got to get 784 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,919 Speaker 3: used to that. Like that the arrogance, like people, Oh 785 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 3: he's cocky, he's arrogant. He he may have been, but 786 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 3: I promise you you want somebody with supreme confidence over 787 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 3: somebody that has no confidence. 788 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,839 Speaker 4: There's a middle there's a middle ground there, right. I mean, 789 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 4: look what they try to do. What they try to 790 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 4: do is they try to dictate where he was going. 791 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 4: And so that was a. 792 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 3: Lesson learned, right like that, that was a lesson learned 793 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 3: from them. If that's what they try to do, that's 794 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,359 Speaker 3: a lesson learned. But I promise you I would rather 795 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 3: you be KACKI. Then you have no confidence because the 796 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,800 Speaker 3: cockiness that many perceived him to have, he was somewhat 797 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 3: humble because of what happened. I believe he's going to 798 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 3: be a really good player because as he has that. 799 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 3: I can't be as cocky as I was if I'm 800 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 3: trying to control where I go and I go on 801 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 3: the fifth round. But I'm gonna be me and me 802 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 3: is uber confident, super belief in myself, and that goes 803 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 3: so fine. I think people forget that. Man, if you 804 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 3: don't have belief, you might as well give it up. 805 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 4: You could not be more right. 806 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 2: T J. 807 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 4: Huschmansato former Pro bowlide receiver joining us, the wide receiver 808 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 4: whisperer himself kind of to spend some time here with 809 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 4: us in the herd that said, hey, can you be 810 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 4: I know it's a new era. I would We could 811 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:39,840 Speaker 4: go back and forth on whether or not it's a 812 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,880 Speaker 4: new era for quarterbacks with that, but that's I know 813 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 4: it's a new era. Can you be that guy with 814 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 4: a media social media entourage following and be a backup 815 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 4: quarterback in the NFL? 816 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,839 Speaker 3: No? Now, you if you're a young guy, if you're 817 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 3: a backup a year or two, possibly, but you you 818 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 3: can be a career back up and have that. No, 819 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 3: I don't believe so. Now the entourage is his older brothers, 820 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 3: So is it really? I mean, that's a family member 821 00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 3: that's doing the recording, is Dion Jr. And so it's 822 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 3: tough to have an entourage and people recording you in 823 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 3: this camera that camera. When you aren't a starter, that 824 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 3: that is going to be tough. But once you become 825 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 3: a starter, you're gonna have to You're gonna have to 826 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 3: manage it. You can't it can be over the top 827 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,760 Speaker 3: all the time. You aren't going to have to manage 828 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 3: it because now other players are gonna feel they can 829 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,479 Speaker 3: do certain things that they've seen you do and they're 830 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 3: not you, and so it's a fine line that they're 831 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 3: gonna have to walk. But it's so far away. I 832 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 3: don't mind the videos. Everybody is recording themselves, whether they're 833 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,359 Speaker 3: gonna record themselves, they're gonna go on live, they're gonna 834 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 3: go on ticks, whatever it is, or they're gonna have 835 00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 3: somebody do it. And it's done the right way. And 836 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 3: he's just doing it the right way instead of knowing 837 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 3: it himself. 838 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the only quarterback to be doing it. That's 839 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 4: that's that's there. The positional part of it is going 840 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,800 Speaker 4: to be the interesting aspect. 841 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 3: You've never seen a quarterback do these things, but hey. 842 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, but he did it to be losing. 843 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:25,360 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I'm just sitting like when the 844 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,760 Speaker 3: quarterback has always been the gods, it's kind of quiet. 845 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 3: He's going to lead, but he isn't doing these things. 846 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:37,840 Speaker 3: But he's look his father maybe the flashiest football player 847 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 3: to ever play ever changed, and so he's been bred 848 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 3: this way. 849 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 4: I know, I listen, I got it. I just it's 850 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 4: like you said, you can't do it if you're a backup, 851 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 4: and now he's hurt, gives other guys an opportunity. Maybe 852 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,399 Speaker 4: they've maybe they fall in their face. Like I think 853 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 4: he's more talent than Dylan Gabriel. I think most people 854 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:02,240 Speaker 4: think that. But Dylan Gabriel personality wise, is a great backup. 855 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 4: But did you draft a guy in the third round 856 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 4: to be a backup? I don't know. We'll we'll find out. 857 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,320 Speaker 4: Let me ask you about Matt Stafford. So Sean me 858 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 4: Vay comes out and says he's gonna do some throwing 859 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 4: next week. He was supposed to do some throwing this week. 860 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,879 Speaker 4: It's it's what's the old Yogi bear expression, it's getting 861 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 4: later early. If you're should the Rams be freaking out 862 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 4: over Matt Stafford, I'd. 863 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 3: Be concerned if you haven't, Yeah, you're Matt Stafford. I 864 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 3: met Matthew Stafford when he was going into a sophomore 865 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 3: year at Georgia, so it's long ago. He was a 866 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 3: great throw out of football. Then he's still a great 867 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 3: throw at the football. Now. One thing he's gonna be 868 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 3: able to do is throw the football with great accuracy 869 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:54,799 Speaker 3: and great velocity. He it will concern me that he 870 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 3: hasn't practiced in training camp. That that is concerning, especially 871 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 3: when you say, okay, last Saturday he threw sixty passes. 872 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 3: We'll see how he feels on Sunday the next day. 873 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 3: So if he felt good on Sunday, you at least 874 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,799 Speaker 3: would have practiced on Tuesday. And so the still now 875 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,400 Speaker 3: practice shows me he didn't feel good the next morning, 876 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 3: because if he felt good, he would have practiced. And 877 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 3: so it has to be concerning, like they can spend 878 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 3: it any way you want to spend it. If Matthew 879 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 3: Stafford isn't practicing, something is bothering him. And so if 880 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 3: I'm the raums 'm concerning because the Rams are Super 881 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 3: Bowl contenders, but they aren't Super Bowl contenders that Matthew 882 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 3: Stafford isn't under center. 883 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:40,240 Speaker 4: Calum Williams did he play Doug. 884 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 3: I'll say this, and I've told people this. If Caleb 885 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 3: Williams does not have success, this won't go to the 886 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:56,279 Speaker 3: coaching staff. We can't blame matt uber Flues and the 887 00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 3: offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is proven. Ben Johnson resurrected Jared Goff. 888 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 3: Ben Johnson had the number one offense in the league 889 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 3: every year he was in Detroit. They were top three, 890 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 3: four or five moving the ball up and like we know, 891 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 3: Ben Johnson can get it done. If they don't have 892 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 3: this is all gonna be on Cayler Williams. Can he play? 893 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say yes, but I don't know why you 894 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,799 Speaker 3: didn't play the first game. Like it's a new system. 895 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 3: Very interesting, But I'm musa say yes, Caleb Williams can play. 896 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:35,279 Speaker 3: They have the weapons at the skill position. They reinforced 897 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:40,280 Speaker 3: that offensive line through free agency. But I'm slightly concerned. 898 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 3: I'll say that who's. 899 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,160 Speaker 4: Here the best man? We gotta catch up in person. 900 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 4: I appreciate you join us.
