But I love 73 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: this idea about you know, hey, if we can reimagine 74 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: college sports, what will we do? 75 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 4: Like, let's let's let's let's dive into this. 76 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: A little bit before we know, we'll get into some 77 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: of the other stuff with high school, especially with basketball 78 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 2: and spring sports about to start. 79 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 4: But this is important. 80 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: This could be a chance to reimagine college sports. 81 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 4: So let's start with the landscape. 82 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 2: All right, let's start with the conferences themselves, Like what's 83 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: it going to look like? Because let's start with football, 84 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: and you got the power for I'll start and run 85 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 2: this by you. What I would do is I would 86 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: create one super conference. Now I know that the ACC 87 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 2: and the Big twelve are not gonna like that, but 88 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: I would have two. I would make them like the 89 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: AFC and the NFC. All right, So imagine you have 90 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 2: because you're the biggest conferences, the SEC, the Big ten, 91 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: all right, So the ACC Big twelve get full into 92 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 2: those and we have two super conferences. 93 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 4: We then pared down the number of. 94 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 2: Teams in what we would have an A League and 95 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: a B. 96 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 3: League, little soccer two, a little relegation. 97 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: Correct, you know, you exactly know where I'm headed, because 98 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: let's face it, if we are in this nil world, 99 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 2: well not every not every school should be in that 100 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: top level because it's course a lot of money and. 101 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: We've seen a lot of schools running that massive deficits 102 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 3: right now. 103 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: Right and again, you know there's there, you know, if 104 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 2: you're a team, that is warranted. And I love the 105 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: relegation element to and I think it's it's fun. And 106 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 2: by the way, it's not like the B League is 107 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 2: going to be you know, like awful. Like you're still 108 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: going to get TV because TV wants games, so you're 109 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: going to get TV revenue. 110 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 4: It still will be a thing, it just won't be 111 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 4: the A League. 112 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I can get behind that. I like, I 113 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 3: like some ideas with that. What with this, with this roundtable, 114 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: I think it's really important. Initially, I like that they're 115 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: getting a lot of different people from a lot of 116 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 3: different you know, backgrounds, right, I think it to get 117 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 3: information from you know, the professional sports people, you know, 118 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: big time athletes who were there pre n I l area, 119 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: right who money got some Duffel bags in their day, right, 120 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: you know these people bags? Yeah, no doubt about it. 121 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 4: Right. 122 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 3: So I think it's important to get all these different perspectives. 123 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: I like that he has the conferences, you know, the 124 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 3: power for conference commissioners. You know, it's some athletic directors. 125 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 3: I think it's really important that there is a really 126 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: strong leader running that meeting, you know. I think it's 127 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: important in these meetings where it's a lot of different 128 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: people who have a lot of different ideas, and then 129 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 3: I think you got to shrink it down. But this 130 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: is a great first step I think, you know, just 131 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: really touching base with people who have the wealth of 132 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 3: knowledge and understanding the business industry. And I'd like that 133 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 3: they have you know, MLB presidents and NFL presidents in 134 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 3: this room as well, because they see at the highest level, 135 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: the main thing is where do we fall? 136 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 4: Right? 137 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: There has to be a middle ground. I think we 138 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: have to, you know, still try to hold some of 139 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: what college you know is and college sports are, but 140 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 3: also we have to understand that it is a business 141 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 3: now and that it's a billion dollar business, and we 142 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: can't keep denying what it is. Something that I would 143 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 3: like for them to really discuss is the contracts of 144 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 3: the anil right, and the parameters around it. You know. 145 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 3: I think, you know, like coaches are allowed to leave. 146 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 3: I think players should leave, but I really think teams 147 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: should be compensated, kind of like that soccer model, like 148 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: if you get it, if you get someone, you buy 149 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 3: them man, right, So then that other that other team 150 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 3: or that other school gets compensated very well if you're 151 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: going to leave. 152 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 4: I love that. 153 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: I love that, right, I love that in soccer. Right, 154 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 3: if you know a top player, they all right, well 155 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: we're gon we're gonna lose them, but we're gonna get 156 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 3: so much money from it. We can go do different 157 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 3: things for it. 158 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 4: Right, That's cool. 159 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: You know what's what's really cool about that is, you know, 160 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 2: if you're a team, if you're a if you're a program, 161 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: like I don't know, let's let's call uh Southern myss.

Well, now a sudden, you're maybe those schools 176 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 2: are more app for high school kids, right because those 177 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 2: kids are well, there's such a need for the high 178 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 2: school kids. Like I worry about the high school kids 179 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: getting lost in the shuffle because everybody wants older kids. 180 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 3: Yep, and we talk about it all the time. It's huge. 181 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 3: So I think if we found that model, right, you're 182 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 3: awarding these people for taking risk on high school kids 183 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 3: on high risk, high reward. But at the same time, 184 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 3: you know you're not just losing them, and that's it. 185 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 4: Right. 186 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 3: This would be great for lower tier teams because then 187 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 3: there'd be some type of you know, compensation for you know, 188 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 3: finding timing and rough and investing in these kids and 189 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 3: building them up. Okay, yeah, we get that the kids 190 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 3: you want to go hire and make more money, but 191 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 3: we get something for it as well. 192 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 4: Right yeah. 193 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 3: And I think that's a little outside the box thinking. 194 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 3: But if we're talking about all these different sports. 195 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: Now, let's reimagine the thing. Let's let let's I do 196 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 2: I want to spend the show doing this today. So 197 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 2: I think that's a genius idea. And here's the other thing. 198 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 4: The B League. 199 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 2: When the B League plays, like again, there's plenty of 200 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 2: B League games to go around, like that will be televised. 201 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 2: You know, that's CBS Sports Network right now. Now you 202 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: have all the streamers involved. So it's not like the Beach. 203 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 2: The B schools are not going to be programs are 204 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: not going to be in you know, on television and 205 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 2: reaping the rewards because they're gonna get money and be 206 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: able to fund their program as well. But with television 207 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: revenue and gambling and be bull bet on it, that's 208 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 2: what it is. 209 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: Another thing that I would like to add while we're reimagining, 210 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: just you know, having some fun in the drawing board 211 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: right now. Keeping the rivalry reeks regardless of division, right, 212 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: make sure you keep those rivalry games, whether it's in 213 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 3: state games or you know, the big games that have 214 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 3: always you know, between teams, even if they are different leagues, 215 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: Like in our league that I'm in now, and interact 216 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 3: every season at the end of the season, regardless, you 217 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 3: play your rival the last game in the season. So 218 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 3: we're always gonna play GA the last game of the season. 219 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,599 Speaker 4: For every score. That's your your rival. 220 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 3: That's our big So every team in our league has 221 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 3: that and we end the season regardless of how the 222 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 3: schedule falls early on, you end the season in a 223 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: rivalry game, which is really cool because. 224 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, because you see it on the Friday after Thanksgiving, 225 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: the weekend after Thanksgiving, the Friday and Saturday, so like 226 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 2: when all misplays Mississippi. 227 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 4: State, yep. 228 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 3: And it's huge for ratings, right, regardless of what league 229 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: they're in because regardless of howsers like this, I like, 230 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 3: still great games and they're stuper super competitive regardless of 231 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: what's going on that season, right, Like it doesn't Yeah, I. 232 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 4: Like that a lot. 233 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: I like that play rival on last weekend regardless of league. 234 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: So let me get back to the structure into the thing. 235 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 2: So the structure would be imagine this super big it's 236 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: a super conference. 237 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 4: Is your a conference? Right? 238 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 2: And your a league will consist of likes to say, 239 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: SEC big ten and they would each have four divisions, right, 240 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 2: A South you know, a Midwest you know southwest, and 241 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: a west. This way you're not you're not traveling now now, 242 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: I think it's key. You can't have USC play Rutgers 243 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: like on a rank. It's just not good. So this way, 244 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: if you have these divisions, it works. 245 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 4: Now. 246 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: The only thing is that as I'm thinking about this, 247 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: if you and I'm looking at it as I usually do, 248 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: just through the prism of football, where does basketball come 249 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 2: in with these? Can you sep rate the leagues like 250 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: you could be in a in basketball and football but 251 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: at B and basketball. 252 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 4: Yes, it's doable. 253 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 3: And I think this is important that people don't always 254 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 3: think of and I'm always an advocate. Make it make 255 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 3: sense for the sport. Every sport's different. I know we 256 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 3: let you have unified rules and unified conferences across all sports, 257 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 3: but let's get creative here with this much money, and 258 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 3: then we're playing kids. I think there's still there's parody 259 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 3: in one sport and parody and not another. And it's 260 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: pretty consistent. There's enough that that's shown it over the years. 261 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 3: So create it to the sport. I'm always a big 262 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 3: component of that. I'm always in a minority because it's 263 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 3: easier to have unify UH leagues and conferences and similar rules. 264 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 3: I say, change it to the sport. If we're reimagining it. 265 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: The football doesn't have to be the basketball doesn't have 266 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 3: to be the softball doesn't have to be the volleyball. Right, 267 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 3: Let's make it make sense for the sport and the 268 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 3: travel in that sport and how it plays out. So 269 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: I would really like to, you know, since we're reimagine 270 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 3: this thing, let's every sport have a different type of 271 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 3: conference breakdown. It doesn't have to be the same. 272 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 4: It can be. I love it. I love it. I 273 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 4: think it's great. 274 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: I do like you know, if you're if you're one 275 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: of these elite schools, you're Michigan, you know you're going 276 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: to be in that let's call it the the you know, 277 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: the Big Ten, the Big ten League, right, Yeah, you'll 278 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 2: be in that one and and you'll you'll be in 279 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: that for football and basketball, right, so you know a 280 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 2: lot of your bigger. 281 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 4: Schools will be that. 282 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: You know, if you're thinking about it in this in 283 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: the one in the A League, you might have I 284 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: don't know, sixty teams in the A League, yeah, right, 285 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: broken into you know, four or five divisions. That's really 286 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: if you had four if you had uh, let's say 287 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 2: sixty four teams broken into thirty two team leagues, right 288 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: like the Big Ten Conference and the SEC and they 289 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 2: play each other, you know, for the for the championship. 290 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 4: Playoffs, you know, go through the. 291 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: Divisions just like imagine the NFL, right like and how 292 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: that would work. But you have the playoff tier that 293 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: then goes to you know, the the ultimately the championship. 294 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: So each bracket like the Big Ten bracket and then 295 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: the SEC bracket. 296 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 4: Am I making sense? It's fine. 297 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: I could see it in my eye, in my mind's eye, 298 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: but just verbally, I'm just going to make sure the 299 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 2: picture comes through. 300 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: But if they say the Big Ten is loaded that year, 301 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: I think we'd have to have a bigger college football 302 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 3: playoff because we're having we're separating these teams are going 303 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 3: to get losses, and like it could go from your year. 304 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 3: We're different. 305 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: So you want to go into uh now again a 306 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: lot you remember the Big twelve. See, this is the 307 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 2: only thing because the Big twelve at ACC are gonna 308 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: get folded in to those into those into those leagues, 309 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: so it's not a pure Big ten SCC. Yeah, so 310 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 2: those other schools are gonna get folded in. So it 311 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: would just be like a f C NFC where you know, 312 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: some years the AFC is better, some years the NFC 313 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 2: is better, and you have a. 314 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 3: Playoff on the demographics day, and you know the North 315 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 3: and the South or whatever it. 316 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: Is, right, so you know all the divisions like I 317 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: don't like, I don't know, So say you have if 318 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 2: you had four divisions in each com in each conference, 319 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 2: let's call it the a f C NFC the model. 320 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: You have four divisions because there's gonna be thirty two 321 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 2: teams in each of the of each conference, four divisions, 322 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: the top two teams make it in each division. 323 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I like you like that.

So we're trying to first go with, 438 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: you know, what does it look like? What's the landscape? 439 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 2: So in our reimagining of college sports, and we're in 440 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 2: the football now, each sport is going to be its own, right, Football, basketball, 441 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: because basketball, you're gonna have a lot more teams, right, 442 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 2: so you're gonna have bigger conferences and which would make 443 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,239 Speaker 2: for bigger divisions, so you'll have more of that. But 444 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 2: baseball will be different. Women's sports will be different. Right, 445 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: it's its own league because of its own schedules. Right 446 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 2: this way, Volleyball will have its own league, so you 447 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 2: could play volleyball and not have usc travel to Rutgers, 448 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 2: which is ridiculous to play volleyball. Grive By traveled across 449 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 2: the country. 450 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 3: And we're and we're stealing something from you know, other 451 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 3: sports all over the world. Right, So we were talking 452 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 3: about the Premier League, right, So there's five levels of 453 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 3: that in I did a little research. I knew there 454 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 3: was five onon sure what they were all called. So 455 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 3: you have the Premier League, then you have the Championship 456 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 3: which is level two, which is twenty four teams. 457 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 2: So you did now the Championship, I thought you've met 458 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: champions League. No, but you're right. It's where it's it's 459 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 2: the top level leagues. No, you're right, the Championship League. 460 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 3: There's twenty four teams in that. 461 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 2: Right. 462 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 3: Then there's EFL League One, which is the level three league. 463 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 3: There's twenty four teams in that to the top two 464 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 3: are promoted every year, and then there's a playoff from 465 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 3: three through six. Then there's League two, which is another 466 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 3: there's the fourth level. There's twenty four teams. You get 467 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 3: three auto promotions every year, four through seven playing a playoff, 468 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 3: and then at Level five, which is the bottom one 469 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 3: automatic promotion two through seven playing a playoff. So it's 470 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 3: really cool. So we're not trying to you know, when 471 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 3: we were talking about these hypothetical leagues, we're saying there's 472 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 3: a path that continue to grow. We want people to 473 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 3: these smaller schools or these schools that might not be 474 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 3: historically known for a sport to say, oh, well, this 475 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: is where you this is where you're stuck at. We're 476 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 3: trying to take different models from different sports to make 477 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 3: it make sense all around the league. And this is 478 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 3: this is a great model that they use in England. Right, 479 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 3: there's a lot of promotion and we're seeing teams, you know, 480 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 3: climb the ladder and make the promotion every year. If 481 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 3: they want to invest in the team and invest in 482 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 3: this sport, will allow these college programs in our model 483 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 3: to continue to grow well. 484 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: And what I love about it too is this is 485 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 2: also a way to gain clarity on how many years 486 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 2: of eligibility. Right, So if you had four leagues, four levels, 487 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 2: you know, ultimately you could play six years of let's 488 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 2: call the number six, and like. 489 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 3: I like five years, five playing years over six to 490 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 3: five over six okay. 491 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 2: And then you know it's just whatever, and you got 492 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 2: five playing years at any of these levels. 493 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 3: And you got to and you in a captain of 494 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 3: age who still want to keep it cool? 495 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: What about injury red shirts? You're allowing that, yeah, I. 496 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 3: Think, But I don't think there should be people over 497 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 3: the age of twenty five playing collegiate sports. 498 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 2: I'm down with that. I'm down with that twenty six, 499 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: I think. So. So here's the thing, like, if you're 500 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 2: if you if you call it six, if you're allowed six, 501 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 2: let's just say six years. 502 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 3: Of el no matter what, you have six years, right. 503 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 4: And that's it. 504 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 2: Like if you somehow get hurt, right or you could play, 505 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: you can go get your One of the rules that 506 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 2: I would have in in our in our landscape is 507 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 2: you always have to be in class. 508 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 3: And taking a full roster. You can't be taking two classes. 509 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 2: Now, Like you're always gotta be in class. And that 510 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 2: means you got to be in graduate programs. 511 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 3: Yep, because you're getting your masters. 512 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 4: Right, and so that's could be a stipulation. 513 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 2: Like the Carson Beck thing this year was ridiculous, right, 514 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 2: like where it's like, hey, what about class, You're like, 515 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 2: I graduated a year and a half ago, right, But. 516 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 3: He wasn't really working towards anything. He was. 517 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: Exactly like, I don't care what it is. 518 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 4: You're getting a master's degree. 519 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 2: All right, because by the way, it's good for you, 520 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: all right, and you don't There has to be an education. 521 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 4: Component to it. 522 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 3: It's college. 523 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 4: It has to be. 524 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 3: And we talk about this all the time, and I 525 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 3: probably mentioned this ship on this show ten times, but 526 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 3: I tell parents all the time. One percent of kids 527 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 3: make it to Division I program scholarships, which is great, 528 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 3: you already hit the lottery. One percent of that make 529 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 3: it to professional level of sports. You get paid. So 530 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, we need there's ninety 531 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 3: nine percent of these student athletes who aren't going to 532 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 3: make it professionally. We have to have them to fall 533 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 3: back on something, right and especially since there's this money 534 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 3: as expecting it, they're going to be used to making money, right, Well, 535 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 3: what are we going to do to support them and 536 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 3: help them understand what to do with this money and 537 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 3: how to invest it and how to invest in their 538 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: future and think about a life post sport. So I 539 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 3: think it's really important. I think having classes about that 540 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 3: is important. Right, we're starting this new world where we're 541 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 3: giving these kids money at a young age, which they're 542 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 3: working for and there's a lot of money. So I'm 543 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,479 Speaker 3: fine with them getting paid, but we're not educating them 544 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 3: enough about what to do with it. So I think 545 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 3: if you're getting an al money, there should be a 546 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,959 Speaker 3: requirement class as well. And we're really diving in out. 547 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 3: I want to get on the education side as well 548 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 3: for reimagining this, where we add a certain amount of 549 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 3: credit you have to go through if you are in nil, 550 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 3: if you're a collecting money, or if you're not, if 551 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 3: you're just a student athlete. 552 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm down with that. And again I think the 553 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 2: six years works in that to your point. First of all, 554 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 2: it's a big deal, right, people love it's it's gonna 555 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: be on TV. People are gonna watch it, so you're 556 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 2: gonna need players. You're gonna need it. So why not 557 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: have six years and let them earn. They're gonna earn 558 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: for six years, and if they're nineteen, you're gonna be 559 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: out by twenty five, all right, and you know, and 560 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 2: that's it. 561 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 4: That's your career. 562 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: Like I don't care how many times you get hurt, 563 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 2: you know, I hate to say it like that, but 564 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 2: you get six years of. 565 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 4: Transferring like you could go. 566 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 2: Now, let's look at this Are you always allowed to 567 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 2: be in the portal or are you gonna Matt You're 568 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 2: gonna stop their their portal. 569 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 3: So my my solution in the portal, and there's something 570 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 3: similar to cal was you get one free of charge. 571 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 3: You got one in your pocket. If your coach leads 572 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 3: who recouit you, you get to the other out. So two. 573 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 3: If you do it after that, you're sitting and you're 574 00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 3: wasting a year. 575 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 2: So I got one. I got one thing though this 576 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 2: in an hour. In our landscape. If you're gonna go levels, 577 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 2: you should be allowed to go up. Yeah, but then 578 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 2: that that should be that should be a free transfer. 579 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm right with that, but we have to have 580 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 3: the compensation in line. There has to be if you're 581 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 3: if you're taking a kid, anytime they transferre there has 582 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 3: to be some type of compensation. 583 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 2: If you're going, well, I'm down, so listen.

I'd have 587 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 3: to think a little bit more of what that looks like. 588 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 3: Because I wanted to. 589 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 4: You could buy you could buy players. 590 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: Now the only issue is you know, what's to say 591 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 2: that Ohio State and Michigan, Texas, Texas, Right, Texas, te 592 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 2: can go and they can go buy. They can just 593 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 2: go buy the best at every position. 594 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 3: Do we put a limit on how many transfers you 595 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 3: can take in? 596 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 4: Yes? 597 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 3: Yes, like free agency, you know how many?

We'll have 601 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 2: to dive deeper into it to uh, to settle the stipulations. 602 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 2: But like over the over there would be some sort 603 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 2: of cap. Yeah, because you're not going to have a 604 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 2: hard seller cap like the NFL. 605 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 3: Well also, I mean they try to say they do now, 606 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 3: and it's completely fugazy because it is. 607 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 4: It's not. 608 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 3: It's not they say the twenty one million is where 609 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 3: you have to spend for your school, but they still 610 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 3: allow a collective to endorse people on the outside. Right, 611 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 3: that's some type of governance. But there's just so many 612 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 3: loopholes in that. Right, So it's a fake cap right now. 613 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 3: Right that with their their initial fix was we're gonna 614 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 3: put a cap on this. We're gonna say twenty more 615 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 3: million for each school to spend. Okay, but you're still 616 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 3: allowing to collect to raise money and have these guys 617 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 3: from Texas A and M dump you know, Texas Tech 618 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 3: trump twenty million in oil money into it every year 619 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 3: and say, okay, go get everyone from the collective. Yes, 620 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 3: you know, and there. 621 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 2: Needs to be and that's where there needs to be 622 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 2: a commissioner for each of the leagues, so like Nick 623 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 2: Saban would be, you know, like I would love Nick 624 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 2: Saban to be the commissioner of the A League because 625 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 2: there needs to be a governing body. Like in this model, 626 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 2: we're gonna get rid of the the NC double A, 627 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 2: but there needs to be a governing body for each 628 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 2: of the leagues. Let's let's put a pin in it. 629 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 2: We'll wrap this portion up. We may have to go double. 630 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 2: This might be a couple of weeks worth of stuff 631 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 2: to dive into and maybe a little side. 632 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 3: Spitball right now, you know, we're on the fly right now, 633 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 3: So I'd like we'll think on a little bit more more. 634 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 2: Well, I love the idea of this, this whole round table. 635 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 2: I think I think it's a great time to reimagine 636 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 2: the whole landscape of colled sports.

So we're out the bat. We 656 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 2: want to create four different levels or leagues and abc 657 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 2: D that will combine your FBS, your FBC and which 658 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 2: is comprised of about two hundred and fifty teams, and 659 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 2: you can spread them across four levels allow relegation like 660 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 2: when you have that many teams to relegation is a 661 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 2: really fun kind of thing and allow promote correct promotion. Yeah, 662 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 2: we always look at relegation, but it's promotion and you're 663 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 2: allowing for compensation for kids that go up levels in schools. 664 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 2: Like if you're gonna go to the portal and you're 665 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 2: gonna sign a kid, well, guess what you have to 666 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 2: compensate that school because that school has developed has played 667 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 2: a role in developing the student athlete. 668 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I love we talked about We named some 669 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 3: of the people at the beginning of the show who 670 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 3: are going to join this roundtable on March sixth after 671 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 3: me and you ant talked. And you know, we're not 672 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 3: huge soccer guys. I think they need to get some 673 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 3: Premier League ownership over there because we're you know, we're 674 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 3: tying in a lot of rules that you know they're 675 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 3: doing over in the Premier League as far as promotion, relegation, 676 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 3: you know, money for players, when the compensation for teams 677 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 3: when someone leaves. So I think I would like them. 678 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 3: You know, this is our you know, our pitch to add. 679 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 3: So maybe some people from across the pond to turn 680 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 3: the panel to give some insight about how they're doing 681 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 3: their things because I do like I think we've been 682 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 3: nitpicking or you know, taking a little bit from professional 683 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 3: leagues and do a little bit of everything. But I 684 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 3: think that's something they might have left off. I really 685 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 3: like what they have. But I think for us personally 686 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 3: and how we're talking about it, I think adding, uh, 687 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 3: you know, maybe the owner of Arsenal or you know, 688 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,720 Speaker 3: the president whoever. 689 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, you could definitely have it. You can definitely because 690 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 2: you're going to take a little bit from everything when 691 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 2: you formulate this. Well, we would like six years of eligibility. 692 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 2: I know you wont five, but I think six years 693 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 2: across the across the. 694 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,760 Speaker 3: Board I said, I said six years. You could play five, 695 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,399 Speaker 3: but you want to be able to play all six. 696 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 4: I think you should be able to play all. 697 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 2: Just make it clean, like you know, there's no petitioning, right, 698 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 2: Like if you're hurt, it counts, you know, like this 699 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 2: is what it. 700 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 4: Is, like, you got six years figure out. 701 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 2: The only thing is you've got to be in class, right, 702 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 2: So if you were, you got to be in a 703 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 2: graduate program. If you graduate school, you've got to be 704 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,760 Speaker 2: in a graduate program. You've got to be in a class. 705 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 2: Like the education piece has to be a part of it. 706 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 2: This is a pro league, so you will be compensated. 707 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 2: There needs to be commissioners for all the leagues. And 708 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 2: the one thing that you and I said to start, 709 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 2: which I think is paramount, is that you're gonna do 710 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:24,359 Speaker 2: a construct for each sport because each sport has different economics. 711 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 2: So even though the athletic now, let me ask you 712 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 2: as an ad you can run all your sports being 713 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 2: in multiple different leagues, correct, correct? 714 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 3: And I just we had an ad meeting for our 715 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 3: league last week and like we were talking about our football. 716 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 3: It's on like a it's on like a four year schedule, 717 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 3: so there's years where it could be like you're you're 718 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 3: playing the same team and then when it rotates, you 719 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 3: could be away again. You can be away two years 720 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 3: in a row, right, just because we're doing it because 721 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 3: it makes sense for all sports. Thing was the other 722 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 3: day I said, well, why don't we just think about 723 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,240 Speaker 3: this and make these you know, for pre each sport 724 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 3: how it works, right, Like, let's figure out because football 725 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 3: is different. It's once a week, right, Like, why does 726 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 3: it have to be locked in on the same schematic 727 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 3: that we do for every other sport? Right, that was 728 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 3: my thing, Like, and they're like, well, it's easier this way. 729 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,439 Speaker 3: I know it's easier, but it can be done. Yeah, 730 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 3: And I think it elevates the sport and elevates the competition. 731 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 3: It makes more sense per the sport. So a lot 732 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,760 Speaker 3: of times I think stuff just gets grouped in because 733 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 3: it's a little easier to do. And I know that 734 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 3: people want, you know, unification across all sports, and I agree, 735 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,919 Speaker 3: and you know, not knocking a sport, but I also 736 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 3: believe that it's important to do what's best for the 737 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 3: sport and make the sport the best possible thing it 738 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 3: is for the experience for their student athlete, and for 739 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 3: you know, the sport to grow. Let's not put everyone 740 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 3: in the same box. 741 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I I don't. 742 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense to construct the parameters of the 743 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 2: sports are different. Basketball and football are completely different. You're 744 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 2: gonna have schools that are just gonna be basketball schools 745 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,240 Speaker 2: that aren't really gonna get involved in football. 746 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,399 Speaker 4: I mean maybe you. 747 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 2: Know, in one you're in level four in football and 748 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 2: level one in basketball, Like that's a possibility, and what 749 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 2: about baseball? Right? Like again, because I under under this 750 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 2: what I'd like to do is. I would also attack 751 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 2: college baseball and college soccer, right, Coles hockey's good. 752 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,440 Speaker 3: Like it's got that bean pot, it's got grown. 753 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, because you're getting you're getting big time 754 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 2: players in that level. I think there's a lot of 755 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 2: room if you divide all of it by different sports. 756 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 3: I agree, you know, all right. 757 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 2: Uh listen, that's gonna do for Project Nil. Coming up, 758 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 2: The Fellas Danny d will be with us right here 759 00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 2: on Fox 760 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:00,399 Speaker 6: Six.
