26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: you got some situations where you have uh, young basketball

27
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: players kind of getting moneys and bribes to go to

28
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: certain schools and things like that, and so that's going on.

Speaker 1: I'm gonna read to you guys really quick. I'm gonna

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: reach you guys. A statement by the NCUBLEAU NCAA president

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: Mark Emmer He says, the nature of the charges brought

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: by the federal government are deeply disturbing. We have no

33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: tolerance whatsoever for this LED's behavior. Coaches hold a unique

34
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: position of trust with student athletes and their families, and

35
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: these bribery allegations, if true, suggests an extraordinary and depictable

36
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: breach of that trust. We learn of these charges this morning,

37
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: and of course, will support the ongoing criminal federal investigation.

38
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: My question, first and foremost to start are you guys shocked?

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: Are you guys shocked up to hear about all of

40
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: these charts that's going on now? Is this is not

41
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: on TV? So both kJ and Michael will Hooy both

42
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: smiled when I asked that question. So I'm gonna ask again,

43
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: are you guys shocked? Man? Stuff like this has been

44
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: going on for a long time. We all have heard

45
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: stories going back to um Marcus Stubrees listen name before that,

46
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: before sixties, So we've heard about stories like this, and

47
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: um am I surprised. No, And to hear that those

48
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: charges to be up to eighty years is insane into me.

49
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be It should not be eighty years. That

50
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: doesn't even make sense. Eight really, yeah, I mean there's

51
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: people out there killing people not getting eight years. I

52
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: mean eighty that doesn't that the crime does not fit

53
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: the posts say when they say eighty years, that sounded

54
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: like they just trying to hype it up. We just,

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: you know, we just want to talk. We just want

56
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: to make it sound like we're really serious about this.

57
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: So the NC double a president, He's thed like, oh

58
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: my goodness, I can't believe this is happening. How much

59
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: of this do you think the NC DOUBLEA has always

60
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: known about because because remember usually it's the NC double

61
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: A doing the investigations. This time it's the FBI that

62
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: has come out and decided to do this. We had

63
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: somebody that we interviewed today on our show that came

64
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: out where this investigation started. Uh, financial advisor on the

65
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: East Coast got popped. And when he got popped in

66
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, he says, well, well, well, FBI, I got

67
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: some more information for you. Let me go ahead and

68
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: help you out. So it's been a three year investigation. Um,

69
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: what can stop this? What can stop these all this

70
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 1: money and bribes and go to this school? And well,

71
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: first of all, can it stop? It'll never stop. Yeah.

72
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: People love sports way too much, they love success way

73
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: too much. And if I'm a alumni or a booster,

74
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: and I wanted my school to look good. Oh but wait,

75
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I don't understand. I thought for college

76
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: education is the most important. Why was that funny? I

77
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: thought education was the most important thing, more important in sports? Right?

78
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: Come on, yeah, I mean it's the most important. It's important.

79
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the you know, for me,

80
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: these kids should be getting paid anyway. You know, I'm

81
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: not saying they should be getting paid like we get paid,

82
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: but they made these schools a lot of money. These

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: schools got money because of these kids. Ohio State. J Okay,

84
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: what do you eat? Man? This is um chicken seuth

85
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: with super crackers. We gotta put the crackers now. I just,

86
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: I just it's just it's just to me, it's like

87
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: these kids. You know, house Ohio State is famous because

88
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: of all the players that have came through there, not

89
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: because it's just called a house state. Not because Michigan

90
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: is just Michigan. Michigan is Michigan because of you know,

91
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Charles Woodson before that, who was Desmond Howard. You know,

92
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: these guys you know to me, and it's like they're

93
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: bringing in all the money. You know, you're making money

94
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: off these kids. So I think that some people feel

95
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: like they deserve a little bit of something. And I

96
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: mean education is the most important thing. I mean, you

97
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: got kids in the NCUBA, these kids, most of these kids,

98
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: they're not even going to school the second semester. Yeah,

99
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: you know that even after the first semester, they're going

100
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: straight to the which which they got the one done

101
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: that's in place right now. They're made up. So a

102
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: kid in high school, he has he or she has

103
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: to go to college for one year in order to

104
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: play in the NBA. So my question to you is,

105
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: should they do away with that rule? Should a kid,

106
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: a child be able to go right from high school

107
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: to play in the NBA kJ Can I say yes?

108
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: Saying though, first of all, I believe that every young man,

109
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: young ladyship experienced the college experience. I loved college, so

110
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: I love college, had a great time. Okay, I believe

111
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: that they should go get a year of that away

112
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: from away from home life. Okay, a year or a

113
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: semester to experience what it's like to be away. However,

114
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: let's say you go out there, you number one athlete

115
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: in the nation, you go out there and hurt your ankle,

116
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: You're losing some money. So I'm I'm I'm wearing the

117
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: fence on that. So, so, because you like college, you're

118
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: gonna some people might not love college the way you do.

119
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: So you're gonna install a rule that makes everybody have

120
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: to go to college for one year. If they don't

121
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: do it in baseball, why not Michael will do it

122
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: in baseball. Let's let's hear it. Why you tell me why?

123
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean I think that I

124
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: think that kids, I think they need to do away

125
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: with the rule. I think the rules horrible. I think that,

126
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, one you're gonna get less kids doing it,

127
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, because obviously you're gonna know, like, either I'm

128
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: gonna go here and I'm gonna be a you know,

129
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: because there's gonna be a lot of people that's gonna

130
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: do it. It's gonna fail. You know, we've already seen

131
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: that in the past. So I just think that I

132
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: don't see why you're telling a kid you have to

133
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: go to school for some college for a semester where

134
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do the school work. I'm not gonna

135
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, I'm really I'm really not gonna be a

136
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: team player all the way because I'm really here to yeah,

137
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: for yourself to go to the next level. It's like,

138
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, so I just think that it's a waste

139
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: of that kid's time. And then, like you said, anything

140
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: could happen in that semester. You know, anything could happen,

141
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: and this kid's gonna gonna make millions of dollars first

142
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: family and take care of his family. Now, it's dipping out.

143
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: The NFL is completely different, completely, you know, but baseball

144
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: and basketball kids, people can do that. You can do

145
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: that when you're eighteen years old. I mean they're doing

146
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: it when they're eighteen and a half. Nineteen. Sure, I

147
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: mean you can go off to Fighting Award eighteen. So

148
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: here's the thing when it comes to when it comes

149
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: to the one and done, don't you guys think that

150
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: if they did away with that rule, that maybe they

151
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: wouldn't be in the trouble that they end right now

152
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: with all of this, because now you kind of lessen.

153
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, look back in the days, and I'm dating

154
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: myself here, Christian Latner, he went to school for four years.

155
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: A lot of players were going to school for at

156
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: least three and four years right back then, you know

157
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: what i mean. And then all of a sudden they're like, oh,

158
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: some of these high school players, Kevin Garnett and all

159
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: those Lebron James they start doing it. And then all

160
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden they just kind of came over the rules, like, okay,

161
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: you know what, you at least have to go to college,

162
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: not for one year now because of the one and

163
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: done rule. Now, some kids who are getting ready to

164
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: be a senior in high school. They are skipping their

165
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: senior year and going to college. Really, yes, I never

166
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: heard of that. That's why that's happening right now. Marvin Bagley,

167
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: is that gonna be at Duke. He's actually class of

168

Speaker 1: two thousand, nineteen. You know, excuse me, he's yeah, nineteen.

169
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: And he said, oh, okay, comer's going to classified go

170
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: to Duke. To answer your question, will they will they

171
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: get away from you? Let him get the one and

172
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: done rule. You can't make excuses for breaking the lawging

173
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: you know that you cannot pay high school players to

174
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: come to your school. That's that's against the law. So

175
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: you just can't do it. Do it the right way.

176
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: Recruit I agree, so on the school, take them on visits.

177
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: You can't play, so you can't make excuses for these people.

178
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,760

00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: dad than my mom um. But yeah, I definitely have

305
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,400

309
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: I would kick out hey, But uh, this topic right

310
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: here right now going on at with college basketball right now,

311
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: there's some uh some situations as a matter of fact,

312
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: that FBI kind of got involved and arrested ten members

313
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: out there, fraud, conspiracy, travel WAC, conspiracy wire for all

314
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, facing up to a like eighty years

315
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: in jail. Um, is there a way to stop this

316
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: kind of stuff from uh from briberies and bribing kids

317
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: to go having go toward schools? Is there a way

318
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: to stop this? I don't know, that's I guess that's

319
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: the number one question, right, Um. I mean, anytime there's

320
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: big money, there's gonna be uh, you know, scammers or

321
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: or a con artists just searching for an opportunity. So

322
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: I do I think that you know, to me, the

323
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: only way to take it out is is if you

324
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: stop having big funds coming in, you know, and obviously

325
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. So I don't should should they

326
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: maybe share some of those big funds? Absolutely? I mean

327
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: that's that's not a debate to me. You know, the

328
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: the athletes who are bringing in all this money, for

329
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: the for the schools. Yes, you're right, they do get

330
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: a free education, but that doesn't compare how long will

331
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: how long will a free education be enough? Because it's

332
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: been a free education for forty fifties and sixties, and

333
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: it seemed like we in twenty seventeen and that's still

334
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: the compensation. Yeah, I don't know. That's that's kind of interesting.

335
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, last not least man, It's

336
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: good to see you. How's married life for it? Fantastic? Yeah, fantastic?

00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,440

341
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: Do you let her win arguments? Right? Because you know

342
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,359
