1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Sports Radio and just got word that Dwayne the Rock 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: Johnson bought the XFL for fifteen million dollars with some 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: partners there. Welcome to the program hour two on this Monday, 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: Dan and The Dan n Stan Patrick Show. The league 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: was listed with assets and liabilities in the range of 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: ten million to fifty million dollars. XFL filed for bankruptcy 8 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: due to COVID nineteen and that prompted the cancelation of 9 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: the inaugural season got off to a promising start. You 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: had a TV audience and the league had a broadcast 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: agreement with Fox. And now the Rock has got himself 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: a football league, the former Miami Hurricane himself. College football 13 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: players empowering themselves was a trend that started before the coronavirus. 14 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: We saw it with the struggle to be able to 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: profit off their own images, and they've been able to 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: do that, but like many things, the pandem might accelerate 17 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: the process. Over the week, in a group of PAC 18 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: twelve football players wrote a letter to the Players Tribune 19 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: about their concerns over fair treatment, safety, and racial justice. 20 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: If their demands aren't met, they will opt out for 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: the season. I don't know if this is a group 22 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: from a team. Is that some marquee names that you 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: might recognize, because you're going to you're going to get 24 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: a reaction if you have some status here, if we 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: know who you are. But if you're nine players for 26 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: Washington State, that's not going to go too far here. 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: College players have tried to unionize in the past. You 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: can go back to I think twenty fourteen Northwestern was 29 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: on the verge of unionizing. In fact, I think they 30 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: were recognized as a union, then decided to not go 31 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: through with it. You know, they're asking for compensation. There's 32 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: extra risk related playing with COVID there. They want to 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: be fairly compensated. And I don't know if the PAC 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: twelve letter is just the beginning. Other players around the 35 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: country have been very supportive on social media. Saw where 36 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence sent out his support for these players. Didn't 37 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: say he was going to opt out in support, he 38 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: just sent his support. Maybe things are going to change quickly. 39 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: College football is changing and this may help that change 40 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: be expedited there. I had a source over the weekend 41 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: yesterday who said that, in his words, you're going to 42 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: get your wish the Power five will eventually secede from 43 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: the NCIA, to which I said, that's not my wish, 44 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: that's just my prediction. I just think that the inevitability 45 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: is there that these conferences don't need the NCIA. They 46 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: should bond together and they should have their own commissioner 47 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: that oversees the Power five, and then whatever you want 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: to do with your players compensation wise, then that'll be 49 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: up to the Power five. But I do think that 50 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: that is going to happen. Not a question of if, 51 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: but when. Eight seven seven three d P show email 52 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: address d at dan Patrick dot com Twitter handed a 53 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: DP show, we'll check in with Pete Thamwell covers college 54 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: football for Yahoo Sports.

Following suit, 56 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: Chris Mannox will join us from the bubble. Scoring is 57 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: up from the bubble.

He plays for Memphis. Actually, I'm on record 63 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: is saying that he would be the best player out 64 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: of that draft with Luca and Trey Young and I go. 65 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: You know who I love Jaren Jackson Junior.

He 73 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: was pretty good for the Hoosiers. I don't know where 74 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: they play now, Okay, that's still pretty good. Harry Giles, 75 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: who went to Duke, put up twenty three in twenty minutes. 76 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: I think he plays for my Sacramento kid.

Oh, let's see who else? 79 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: Do we have anybody else? Any random scores? Now, you 80 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: do have some of these other guys that you know, 81 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: Luca and had what forty nine in the game and 82 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: Harden put up close to fifty in a game. Yeah, 83 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: I'm a club. I have the teams that Derek White 84 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,119 Speaker 1: is a Spur. Okay, of course you should. You should 85 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: say spur whenever you don't know the guy and who 86 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: is it? Jero Robinson is currently on the Suns. Oh 87 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: oh okay, yeah, and then you know the Suns. I 88 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: think we're on a high octane offense. Yeah, they have 89 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: a lot of big scoring numbers. How do you pronounce 90 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: timoth Ay oh wa woo, let's go. Let's go with that. 91 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: He's French, He's French, so use your French skill. Does 92 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: he play for the Nets? Yes, Timothay chalom so if 93 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: you could do French, you can do his name. Timothy 94 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: Cabal Roll, Cabal role. Uh. I think I saw that 95 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: play on Broadway. He's played six games in the last 96 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: four years in the NBA and somehow put up a 97 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: twenty four twenty four in twenty three minutes of work. 98 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: What does all the score? What I mean? Does that 99 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: mean the bubble is easier to play? That defense? Is 100 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: their quarantine right now? They are They're not exhibition games, 101 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: but it feels like they're kind of glorified scrimmages. And 102 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: I think because of that, I don't know. It's a 103 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: weird thing. If if you don't think anybody is watching you, 104 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: maybe you don't play as tough at defense. How about that? 105 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: That should be like the NBA twenty no one's watching, 106 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: you don't have to play d Yes, I'm a real 107 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: logic to that. Look, when you think about it, he's 108 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: watching like there's nobody there in the audience. So all right, 109 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: he slipped by me. No one's gonna call me out. 110 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: Lagler's not gonna call me out. No I mentioned Tom 111 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: Brady turns forty three to day, and Tom Brady has 112 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: a chance if he throws for twenty three touchdown passes 113 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: this year, he will throw for more touchdown pauses then 114 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: any other quarterback has. All of the quarterbacks combine after 115 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: the age of forty three, George Blanda had twelve touchdowns 116 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: after the age of forty three. Vinny test Have already 117 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: had six, Steve de Berg had three, Warren Moon had one. 118 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: Stat of the day. Stat of the day? Stat of 119 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: the day? Du comes that? What stat of the day? 120 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: All right? He got a pull question mclovin. Yes, should 121 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: the Pelicans just send Zion Williamson home? Yes? I would. 122 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: You got embarrassed yesterday against the Clippers. You lost a 123 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: game to Utah that you should have won or could 124 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: have won, and I don't want him out there. If 125 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: he's ready to play, great, then play. But if not, 126 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: I don't want you sort of there. Send him home, 127 00:07:53,840 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: because what happens if he plays now and gets hurt. 128 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't need it. I don't need it. And you've 129 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: you've had a good season, you're building on something. Let's 130 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: just let's just wait till next sea. You took a chance. 131 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: Now we move on, play the games, and then you 132 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: get some nice parting gifts from the bubble and regroup 133 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: for next season. That would be my approach. We'll talk 134 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: to Chris Mannix about that. Coming up. Seven NBA games tonight, 135 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: nine baseball games, six hockey games coming up tonight. When 136 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: we left the air on Friday at noon Eastern, there 137 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: were sixty six games scheduled in baseball, basketball, and hockey. 138 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: Fifty nine played. You had the baseball games that were postponed. 139 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: This is these are unchartered territories when it comes to 140 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: these sports because August is not a busy time of 141 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: the year, the beginning of August with all these games, 142 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: because hockey and basketball is already wrapped up. We're on 143 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: the cusp of football with preseason games, and of course 144 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: you have baseball, but we're not that excited about baseball 145 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: in late July or August. We are now Yankees playing great. 146 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: It just feels like this is one of those can 147 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: we just send the Dodgers and Yankees to play. Let's 148 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: cut out all these other teams in the possibility of 149 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: getting COVID and let's just have the Dodgers and Yankees play. 150 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: That would be the best thing, probably for the sport 151 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of, hey, we're gonna have a legitimate 152 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: World Series here. I don't know if we're going to 153 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: get to the finish line. I have my doubts. Now. 154 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: I'm not with Keith Oberman and Buster Onney, who Well, 155 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: Oberman thinks it's less than zero percent. Now if it's possible, 156 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: what do they call those mclovin integers where it's less 157 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: than zero I don't know that term integers. Integers. Yeah, 158 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: that's hends familiar. It's like an algebreak term. Thank you 159 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: to have a negative integer. I'm not great at that 160 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: advanced math stuff. So if you've caught it either, you 161 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: probably would have copied off me in high scho well 162 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: not done as well as you. Oh, I would have 163 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: copied off Todd. Yeah, although he strikes me as those 164 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: were you a paper hider. I didn't love when people 165 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: like would say right before Mitch, I'm like, oh, we 166 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: have a test today, and I had been studying for 167 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,599 Speaker 1: a month, and they just want to look over my 168 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: shoulder and get basically the same grade when I've like, 169 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: I haven't been out partying like the kids sitting to 170 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: my left and right and having fun all night. Did 171 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: you cover your paper? I didn't make it easy to see. 172 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: If it was a friend of mine and we were 173 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: kind of sharing answer someone that I thought prepared and studied, 174 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: and I valued that person's academic record, then we can share, 175 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: but not to just take the answers that that out 176 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: of problem. What did you say value your academic Yeah, 177 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: there are kids in my class that I know studied 178 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: and do very well. Those kids don't cheat off you, 179 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: like we we just want to check their answers with yours, 180 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: and you know, we want to make sure we got 181 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: the right. Oh no, no, no, you're not checking answers. 182 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: That's how the whole cheating I would do was checking 183 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: to see if what I wrote down was similar to 184 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: what the smart kid next to me did. But it 185 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: was someone that was like today cheating. Yes it is, 186 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: so you look on somebody else's paper. There have been 187 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: a few times when I checked after I had written 188 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 1: down an answer to see if they had the same thing. 189 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: It made me feel better because I was the kid 190 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: that tiled all the time I took the test. That's 191 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: called cheating. Its checking. No, I don't know cod it's 192 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: called that's checking to see if you're right. It's not 193 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: cheating because I did that in chemistry class. So if 194 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: Greg Sliger's paper, I was checking to see if my 195 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: answer was the same as Greg. It was a straight 196 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: A student. If the test is still going on, it's cheating. 197 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: It's not over. But Fritzie, there's a deal in high school. 198 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: The the athlete cheats off a kid like you, but 199 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: then he invites you to the party and intance you 200 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: to a girl like you. Know what if there was 201 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: some star athlete that was going to hook me up 202 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: with some some friend and that's one thing, but this 203 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: is just someone that had no interest in doing anything, 204 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 1: but they're cheating and getting studied and show up to 205 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: class and you cheated your grade point average because you 206 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: were trying to be valedictory. I had a biology teacher 207 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: take my paper away and the kid next to me 208 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: once that was and he threatened to give us each 209 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: a zero, like on the mid term, and that was 210 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: very frightening. And then he decided that was just like 211 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: you just put a scary Is there an asterisk next 212 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: to your high school ranking number two in your class 213 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: of six hundred? I don't think there should be an asterisk, 214 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: But I also do remember it occasion when I was 215 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 1: like in seventh grade junior high school where there was 216 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: a test about all the prepositional phrases, and even though 217 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: I knew them backwards and forwards, I got so nervous 218 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: right before the test. I put a little heat with 219 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: all the prepositional words on my desk, and Miss Meser, 220 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: my English teacher, came around to the back of the 221 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: room there and took it out and stapled that piece 222 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: of paper that I had with all the words onto 223 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: my test paper. And that was just not good. So 224 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: you're a serial cheater. Those were a couple of occasions. 225 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: I also got a thirty five once on a fourth 226 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: grade vocabulary test. I wasn't wasn't all like roses and 227 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: hundreds and days all across the board. You know, this 228 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: is where I have more respect for Seaton and Paulie. 229 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: They didn't cheat. They earned their bad grades, but they 230 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: didn't cheat. I was more of a cheating to go 231 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: from tracks your credit to get like one D two 232 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: hundred and ten, like the ten point extra credit problem. Yeah. See, 233 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: that's that was my problem, is that I just didn't 234 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: care enough to cheat. I knew that I could do 235 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,599 Speaker 1: next to nothing and probably get like a B or 236 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: a C. And I'm like, all right, that's good enough. 237 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: Like I would do almost nothing to prepare, but I 238 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: definitely didn't care enough to write out answers beforehand or anything, 239 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: and like look it up and they're like, I'm probably 240 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: just gonna I'll get like a B C, maybe a D. 241 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: If i'm lucky, I'll get an A. I'll be all right. 242 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: One of the first things I remember when I met 243 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: Paulie is he would always say c's get degrees. That 244 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: was college. We used to tell the guys and we 245 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: knew who joined the college. A lot of kids flunked 246 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: out the first year I was to Southern Illinois. They 247 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: go through freshman like you know, they're just cheering through them. 248 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: And if you could just get a C average in college, 249 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: everyone gets the same piece of paper at the end. Like, 250 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: if you get A or a C. The framed piece 251 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: of paper, your diploma looks exactly the same. Why don't 252 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: they have a different look depending on how good as 253 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: students you were of the diploma? Yeah, like different colors. Yeah, 254 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: like something that says, I mean, I'm not I'm not 255 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: advocating for this. Well I am now, but since I 256 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: got my diploma, but just to say, hey, you graduated 257 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: with honors magna cum lade, summa cum lande cum laude 258 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: something like that, Yes, do you guys? Did you guys 259 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: have an honor code in college and order your kids? 260 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: And if so, did you follow it? Because I feel 261 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: like nobody follows you. What do you mean the honor code? 262 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: So there's a thing in college is now where you 263 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: sign a paper saying I will not cheat, and if 264 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: you're great, called cheating. Once you're kicked out of college, 265 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: it's pretty common. I had that in high school. I 266 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: had to sign it. I went to a like a 267 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: Catholic high school and we we had to sign as we 268 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: entering freshman that you would report it or something and 269 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: you would admit it if you're part of it. I was. 270 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: I gave that. It's it's like the hot new thing. 271 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: Now everyone has to sign an honor code claiming they 272 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: will not cheat once. We should do that with sports 273 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: media and pole questions. Yeah, but it's like you're you're 274 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: saying to professional athletes, hey, don't cheat, Like would would 275 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: athletes sign that? But I think I can honor code 276 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: where you go hey all the time. If you test positive, 277 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: then you're kicked out for good. Like yes, it kind 278 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: of sounds like that crap human resources makes you do 279 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: where you're like, hey, you have to go through this 280 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: Internet protocol training. Okay, you click click click click click 281 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: click click click, Yep, signed it, read it? Okay, done 282 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: in two seconds. Yes, you'd have to have very specific language. 283 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: It's one thing to cheat of somebody. But like, no 284 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: one said anything that I can't have someone write my 285 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: paper for me and all the other things there. Wait, 286 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: if you have somebody do that for you too. But no. 287 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: But what I will say is, back in the day 288 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: when we're writing book reports, you'd look things up in 289 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: encyclopedies and stuff, and then you're paraphrasing, you know, the 290 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: stuff that you're researching and just changing a few words around, 291 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: hoping this. Are you a plagiarist? Not a plagiarist. But 292 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: I have rewarded you things. But I've looked up when 293 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: writing a book report like everyone else for it, big 294 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: fancy words. Our news team is good, journals m is wrong. 295 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: Well then we don't want to be right. Let's go 296 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: to the news room. Oh, Dan, you remember Todd just 297 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: declared he's not a plagiarist. But he did say he 298 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: used a joke and submitted to a publication that was 299 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: printed a limerick I believe. Yeah, it was an elementary 300 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: school limerick that once was a man from Peru who 301 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: dreamed he was kissing the shoe. He woke in the 302 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: night into terrible fright and found out it was perfectly true. Okay. 303 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: Is that plagiarism?

Yeah, but they 331 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: have small ones out there where he is. So those 332 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: are just white sharks, not great white. They have good 333 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: white sharks. Ryan in Ohio, Hey, Ryan, what do you 334 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: have for me today? Hey? Damn? What's going on? Hey? 335 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: But I got two things? First, the best and the worst. 336 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: The worst miss walking off, but the best that was 337 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: his first walk offs in twenty sixteen, okay. And then secondly, 338 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: my Cincinnati Reds beat the Detroit Trygers Tyxons weekend. So 339 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: Jeff in Detroit, what up though? Thank you, Ryan, Sure 340 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: we'll hear from Jeff a little later on. At one point, 341 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: not to call someone out, but that's uh. You plagiarize 342 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: that joke from Field Jates on Twitter this week, Oh, 343 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: Field Jates dropped up a really nice joke about cespitus 344 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 1: first workout walk offs Instagram and our call. I just 345 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: hammered it like you came up with it. Yeah, that's 346 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: actually one of my favorite things about social media, seeing 347 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: like one joke take off and then watch everyone else 348 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: try and claim it as their own. Yeah, they're trying 349 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: to tell you before you know that it's not their right. Hey, 350 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: cesfotus walk off? Really? Yeah? Yeah, he walked off from 351 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: the Mets. I think the Mets try to embarrass him 352 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: by filing the missing per person's report. I think they're 353 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: well aware of what was going on here. I don't 354 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: know if they're getting any money back. I don't you know. 355 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: It can be about health. It might be, but I'm 356 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: gonna guess this has something to do with playing time 357 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: with joannas twenty after the hour, what's going on with 358 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: Pac twelve football?

Second on 430 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: that list the Cowboys with three. They're trying to move 431 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: up the date where you can opt out in the NFL, 432 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: and some of the players are being vocal about it, 433 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: not happy at all with what's going on because now 434 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: what you're seeing is, and this according to a source, 435 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: that agents are using the opt out as leverage to 436 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: get a new deal for their players, and they're not 437 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: buying into everybody actually needing to opt out for health reasons. 438 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: Pete fam Will kind enough to join us on loan 439 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: from Yahoo Sports, their national college football reporter. And I'm 440 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: not sure what's happening in college football. I know there's 441 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: a lot going on off the field there, Pete, I 442 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: don't know how much we're going to have on the field, 443 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: But give me the cliff notes version of what's going 444 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: on with the PAC twelve right now? Sure? Then you know, 445 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: the PAC twelve basically had a player led movement that 446 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: manifested itself this weekend with some online demands, and they 447 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: range from the very pragmatic and realistic to consistent health 448 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: and safety protocols to secures of insurance after a playing 449 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: career ends, to the somewhat more unrealistic of half of 450 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: essentially the football revenue from the PAC twelve. They also 451 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: asked the commissioner and coaches to take significant pay cuts 452 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: to help support them. So it was about when you 453 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: really step back from thirty thousand feet and look at it, 454 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: what you'd expect from a disparate group of you know, 455 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty two year olds from twelve different schools 456 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: with certainly you know, varying you know, coming from varying places, 457 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: kind of trying to band together and make some change. 458 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: There was some positive Some of the stuff gave you 459 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: a little bit of pause, but I think generally my 460 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: takeaway is it really created some positive dialogue. And the 461 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: column I wrote for Young Whoo today basically says, look, 462 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: this is a window into where we are going forward 463 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: in college sports. So, you know, when we mercifully put 464 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 1: the pandemic behind us, and it's twenty twenty one, all 465 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're gonna have name, image and likeness 466 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: in college sports. Dan, You're gonna have free transfer and 467 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: the voice of the player through social media and being 468 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: less restricted by their coaches, as we've seen from the 469 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: player empowerment movement the past couple of months, is really 470 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: going to change the whole landscape of how college sports looking. 471 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: On free they had me up until we want fifty 472 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: fifty rev share here because the other part of this, 473 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: and I agree, we forget about college football players after 474 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: they graduate. If they graduate and they don't go into 475 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: the NFL, we use them and then we move on 476 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: because here comes the next group of athletes here. How 477 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: many athletes are involved in this? And have we heard 478 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: from any other conferences yet in a show of support. 479 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: So it's a great question about the number of athletes 480 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: involved because they cast it in their releases hundreds. But 481 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: when you start calling coaches and ads and around the league, 482 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: you know most places are like, we've got three or 483 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: four guys, and there's a there's a key line of demarcation, 484 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: and then I think it's going to define this movement 485 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: this weekend. There's the support for the spirit and the 486 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: tenor of the movement, which is support athletes rights and privileges. 487 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: And then there's I'm going to sit and opt out 488 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: of games in order to achieve this, And we have 489 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: very little clarity right now about where that line is drawn. 490 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: And a couple of young men in the PAC twelve, 491 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: very very articulately set on Twitter, Elijah more than at 492 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: Washington being one of them, look like, I support these things, 493 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, I need to 494 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: go play, and that's I think where a lot of 495 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: this is going to come down to. So I'll be 496 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: very curious to see I think the PAC twelve is 497 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: going to engage on this to you know, a to 498 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: a healthy level. But another I think mistake they made 499 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: is they actually haven't approached the PAC twelve or any 500 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: of the any of the schools yet. They've simply just 501 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: put their demands out there in media, which well, you 502 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: know how negotiations for the media tend to go over 503 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: the years. Dan, you probably talked about that once or 504 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: twice on your show. Yes, I have. I start to 505 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: look at the state of college football and is optimistic 506 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: as I want to be, it's really hard when you 507 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: add realism. Just being pragmatic about this. I don't know 508 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: if the Big ten is going to play football this year. 509 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: The SEC it feels like, you know where the SEC 510 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 1: we will play, the ACC it feels like that. The 511 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: Big twelve feels like that. I don't know about the 512 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: Pac twelve. But the fact that the Big Ten they're 513 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: holding internal conversation about if they can pull this off, 514 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: when are we gonna Is there a date like? Are 515 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: these conferences schools going to have a drop dead date? Here? Pete, 516 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: here's the bottom line, Dan. They're waiting for the decision 517 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: to be made for them. They're waiting for an MLB 518 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: to fall apart. They're waiting for some seismic act that's 519 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: going to make this obvious. But right now, the plan is, 520 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: I've joked in columns, push, push, and hope. Let's just 521 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: push things back, push things back and hope things get better, 522 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: hope the environment gets better. Now you talk to some coaches, 523 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: they'll tell you right now, after having had their kids 524 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: on campus for sixty eight weeks and having very few 525 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: positive tests, they feel as good as ever, like they'd 526 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: loved some places they'd love to start camping soon, and 527 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: that I would say is probably the ten are at 528 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: about half the schools here. The untenable variable Dan that 529 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: I really think everyone is sitting back and bracing for 530 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: and nobody has a good answer to, is what happens 531 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: when students come back. And that starts to happen as 532 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: soon as the next couple of weeks because a lot 533 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: of the schools in the Northeast Big ten footprint are 534 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: starting in early August so they can leave by Thanksgiving 535 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: to reduce travel. When you bring ten twenty thirty thousand 536 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: students to campus, that the virus is going to come 537 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: with them. And I really think that is going to 538 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: be the fact that exposes an unbubbled option, like we're 539 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: seeing a major league baseb He's Pete Thamil covers college 540 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: football for yah Who Sports. I was wondering about college 541 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: football campuses. I remember being on the basketball team. We 542 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: had a basketball dorm. Can you create a bubble for 543 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: these football players where they have their own dorm and 544 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: maybe they're not going to classes, you know, physically going 545 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: to classes, but you do it remotely, but you're you're there. 546 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: They know why they're there. I know that they're going 547 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: to they want to get an education. But let's not 548 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: kid anybody if you want to quarantine them, put them 549 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: in a bubble and have restrictions like you do with 550 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: NBA players. Is that possible for some of these big 551 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: time schools. I think it's possible. I also think that's 552 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: fraught with some some ethical and optical issues. Um, the 553 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: irony is camp, which is you know, has started at 554 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: plays like Oklahoma Kansas on Friday, tends to be a 555 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: bubble situation. Guys go to a same dorm, guys go 556 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: to a hotel like there is that and with with 557 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: really a few other students around. It's very feasible. But 558 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: for a for a school to come out and say 559 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: we're essentially locking our guys in a dorm or locking 560 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: our guys in a in a in a hotel so 561 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: they can play football, I just don't. I just really 562 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: don't think optically that's going to fly. What is the 563 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: oddest option you've heard so far? I mean, there's there. 564 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: You do hear a little bit of everything. Some people saying, 565 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: well we try to play three or four games in 566 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: the fall and then maybe try to play you know, 567 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: the rest of it in the spring like that that's 568 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: been a split season. Yes, a split season. I would 569 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: say that is that is the strangest. Yeah. And I 570 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: if I'm a player in the Big twelve or you know, 571 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: these Power five conferences, I don't want to play in 572 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 1: the spring because you can't have two college football seasons 573 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: in a nine month span. I just don't see that working. 574 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: I do think that these smaller schools, smaller conferences will 575 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: opt for the spring because that's wide open for TV, 576 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, for eyeballs on your sport, on your school, 577 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: and a lot of those players aren't going to be 578 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: going to the Combine or getting drafted, So I see that. 579 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: I also brought this up A source yesterday said you're 580 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: going to get your wish. The Power five is going 581 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: to eventually secede from the NCAA. And I said, it's 582 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: not my wish, just my prediction. He said, it's not 583 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: a question of if. But when that the Power five 584 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: really has no need for the NCAA, When do you 585 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: do you think? Do you agree with that? I think 586 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: that has long been kind of a final four bar conversation. 587 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: But there's there's billion dollars television contracts that are said, Look, 588 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: college sports are really bound by television contracts. Right, College 589 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: football playoff is a television contract. It's not like an entity. 590 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: It's one guy runs it, and it's a multibillion dollar 591 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: TV deal. The conferences are linked by that. The NCAA 592 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: exists because of the multibillion dollar TV deal. Here's the thing. 593 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: If if all these schools broke away, they're not all 594 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: those going to sudden start paying the you know, the 595 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: left guard at Toledo thirty grand like, it's still going 596 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: to be some other form of amateur athletics. The NCAA 597 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: has been underwhelming. Mark Emeric has clearly been underwhelming and 598 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: all this he's been basically invisible. And I do feel 599 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: like that is coming to a head. When people do 600 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: say there is a breakaway, my question to them is, well, 601 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: what does that breakaway actually look like? Like? So you 602 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: didn't like the accounting department at your fortune five hundred company, 603 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: if you've got rid of them, you'd still need an 604 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: accounting department. And that's essentially what the NCAA is. Ninety 605 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: five percent of it is championship running, back room work 606 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, via enforcement compliance type stuff, et cetera. And 607 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: a majority of that is fairly functional, more functional than 608 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: we probably give the nsa credit for. It's the high 609 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: end leadership and the difficulty of managing a system as 610 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: Maine in Miami under the same set of rules, where 611 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: they've really struggled and obviously not adapt beat. Good to 612 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: talk to you. I have no idea if I talk 613 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: to you in a month from now, what's the headline? 614 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: I want to give you? The other odd option. I've 615 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: been joking with a coach about the New Zealand Nova 616 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: Scotia option where there's no virus. If they could move 617 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: like all the conferences to the New Zealand and Nova Scotia. Wait, wait, 618 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: you didn't use that as the craziest option. You know 619 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: you took a second. It took me a second. It 620 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,959 Speaker 1: came to me though. I yes, so hopefully, hopefully I'll 621 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: see you an ad from the from the show here. Well, 622 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: I've been to Nova Scotia. It's a beautiful, beautiful place, 623 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: but I don't know if they had the facilities there 624 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: in Nova Scotia. Just make it work, like Ortron said, 625 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: just we'd line up in a pass shure midnight. We'd 626 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: line up in a pass your midnight Pete. Thank you, buddy, 627 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: We appreciate your time. Thank you, Dan. That's beat them 628 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: covers college football for y'all whose sports Yeah, coach O 629 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: lineup in the past year at midnight will be planned. 630 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: By the way, who did we make mention of last week? 631 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: Wilfred Brimley because we pointed out that PAULI is the 632 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: same age as Wilford Brimley was when he did the 633 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: movie Cocoon, and Wilford Brimley looked he died at the 634 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: age of eighty five. He looked eighty five at fifty 635 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: in Cocoon, And all of a sudden, because I told 636 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: my wife, I said, do you know that Wilford Brimley 637 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: was fifty when he did Cocoon. She's like, no way. 638 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: So I had to google it show it to her. 639 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: So she says to me, yesterday Wilford Brimley died, Like 640 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: I had something to do with it. She goes, Wilford 641 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: Brimley died, and I go, old people die, he's eighty five. 642 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: Well you brought it up, Fritzie. Why didn't we get 643 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: Wilford Brimley on Friday? If that opportunity there will leave 644 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: fruit Quaker roots.
