Speaker 2: Let me ask you this.
Speaker 3: As far as conferences, we see some things that make
Speaker 3: absolutely no sense. When conferences like schools on the West
Speaker 3: Coast in the Big East and Big ten has thirteen schools,
Speaker 3: they getting paid. Yeah, but I say that to say
Speaker 3: it's all it's all. Everything is derived around football, and
Speaker 3: the conferences is just going crazy.
Speaker 2: No, they ain't they going money, the business going.
Speaker 3: So I say that to say, is there ever any
Speaker 3: way possible that you foresee Jackson State being in a
Speaker 3: power conference at some point?
Speaker 4: Tom, I would like to see that when we're ready.
Speaker 4: We gotta be ready now when you when you start
Speaker 4: jumping conferences, and I don't want to just jump through
Speaker 4: the baby conference. If I'm gonna jump, let's bunge a jump.
Speaker 4: Let's do the dog on thing. Okay, So I gotta
Speaker 4: get the traviss. I gotta get Travis's there too, Okay,
Speaker 4: up front on both sides, offensive defensive line with some depth,
Speaker 4: because that's how the big boys will get you.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: They can't mess with you in a skill position, because
Speaker 4: we had a quarterback that could spend it.
Speaker 2: We got received that could go.
Speaker 4: Dbs that could go, linebackers that could bang and cover.
Speaker 2: Where they get you is right here in the trenches.
Speaker 4: Because now when they rotate, they rotate, and you they
Speaker 4: got eight heat seeking missiles coming and you.
Speaker 2: May have four so sooner later you're gonna wear down.
Speaker 4: So you got to beef that up if you want
Speaker 4: to compete with the big boys.
Speaker 2: But you you would like that. I want that. I
Speaker 2: mean I want what conference you want to be in.
Speaker 2: I know, it don't matter.
Speaker 4: Somebody a conference that is gonna make sure that we
Speaker 4: don't have a struggle no more, because everything is a struggle.
Speaker 4: Everything is not enough, everything is less than, everything is
Speaker 4: like thereof it's gonna be a conference that can put
Speaker 4: the whole school on that we.
Speaker 5: Straight I SEC would be big. It could be big,
Speaker 5: twelve two. I mean you see, it's like this the biggest.
Speaker 5: This is the biggest.
Speaker 2: When you start talking like that, you gotta answer the house.
Speaker 2: So that was I So you you got stadiums, you
Speaker 2: gotta have facilities. Yeah, ain't nobody. Come on, man, I
Speaker 2: want to get to if I want to talk easy
Speaker 2: coming here like this.
Speaker 5: You said playing the big boys, And I know one
Speaker 5: of the things you touched on recently was the money
Speaker 5: games true and the disperries and that can can you
Speaker 5: elaborate and explain to people because when we see a
Speaker 5: uh let's pick a pick up a random school. Uh,
Speaker 5: let's say you guys play Alabama.
Speaker 4: No, you just saw Alabama State right out there play
Speaker 4: against U c l A, Right, Okay, big dog, I
Speaker 4: don't mind that, but tell the kids what it is.
Speaker 4: I'm playing for money. I'm playing so that we can
Speaker 4: pay for this, pay for it. Don't act like you
Speaker 4: got a chance, because you know you don't. And then
Speaker 4: if you playing for money, do real business. So you
Speaker 4: getting five hundred thousand or five hundred and ninety thousand
Speaker 4: whatever was reported what you called, and check and see
Speaker 4: how much as charter flight is too charters because you
Speaker 4: got one for the team and one for the band. Okay,
Speaker 4: going that California. Now you've got hotels and all that,
Speaker 4: all those accommodations and probably two nights of food and
Speaker 4: all that. That's probably six meals. That's gonna be an
Speaker 4: upward of seven hundred, eight hundred to a million. But
Speaker 4: you're getting five ninety. So you took a l and took.
Speaker 2: A l going and getting beat done. Literally. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So to me, if I put my kids in a
Speaker 4: situation where there's no win and this is detrimental to their.
Speaker 2: Health, I'm selling them out.
Speaker 4: We big on that terminology in African Americans. I'm putting
Speaker 4: you in a situation where I no, you're not gonna win,
Speaker 4: and I'm not even getting handsomely compensated for it.
Speaker 2: That's the problem.
Speaker 4: But you have the same situation when another school goes
Speaker 4: to Nebraska in play and they get one point four
Speaker 4: to one point seven. Another school goes to Penn State
Speaker 4: and go to one of these other schools and they
Speaker 4: get one point five or they get one point three.
Speaker 4: They doing better business. To me, in't the value not
Speaker 4: in the school that could beat me. It's in the
Speaker 4: school that I'm gonna be.

Speaker 4: I'm sorry about that. We had to go get the bag.
Speaker 4: That's what the conversation should be. We had to go
Speaker 4: get the bag. Guess what we could do it this week?
Speaker 4: We could beat them.
Speaker 2: But I can't do it. I can't say I'm a kids.
Speaker 5: Let's I'm saying, even when you get the bag, it's
Speaker 5: still coming back to the school, not necessarily their program.
Speaker 4: And you ain't even bringing enough back because you got
Speaker 4: to make it back home, right, and you didn't even
Speaker 4: get enough to even make it back.
Speaker 2: Home with a bag.
Speaker 3: And at some point a conversation has to have It
Speaker 3: has to be had about funding for these schools, especially
Speaker 3: the state schools, because it's like, why a lot of
Speaker 3: Ohio states and state school like Florida State's and state
Speaker 3: school but why the black state schools never get any money.
Speaker 2: Enrollment.
Speaker 4: You got to talk about enrollment, and we got to
Speaker 4: quit a stop accepting whatever they give us. They can't
Speaker 4: just throw the money at you. You say, oh, thank you,
Speaker 4: No man, stop accepting the foolishness that they give you.
Speaker 4: If you accept peanuts, they gonna thank you monkey.
Speaker 2: Sooner.
Speaker 4: Lady, you got to stop dancing clapping for for a
Speaker 4: little dimes they're throwing in your plate, and you got
Speaker 4: to demand we deserve more.
Speaker 2: And this is why, and it's documented.
Speaker 5: So one of the things you talked about, obviously is
Speaker 5: the facilities that we're gonna grow and win win in comes.
Speaker 5: Success comes more money I know even like here when
Speaker 5: you can't hear this room we're sitting there, did not exist.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't, right, So these are practice field did
Speaker 4: not exist. Practice bill did not exist. None of this existed.
Speaker 4: And we're thankful that we have an ad that knows
Speaker 4: how to fight, and we partner and we communicate and
Speaker 4: we articulate to one another the needs and the thoughts
Speaker 4: and the process of getting them.
Speaker 2: And then I got partners right who helped.
Speaker 5: And one of the things that kind of got glossed
Speaker 5: over was like, even when this wasn't ready, Coach prop said, look,
Speaker 5: take half of whatever I'm making.
Speaker 2: Make it happen. Yeah, I had to finish, get it done.
Speaker 4: I had to get it done because I'm gonna I
Speaker 4: get tired of telling people this, this, this, this, this,
Speaker 4: assuming that you just made me do it. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: only tell you to cut the grass three times, Okay.
Speaker 4: After that, I'm gonna do it. Okay, So I'm not
Speaker 4: gonna sit up here and just cry, cry cry. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna give you opportunity to do what you've been handsomely
Speaker 4: paid to do your job.
Speaker 2: Then again, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 3: So you've become the most recognizable person in the state
Speaker 3: of Mississippi, and I don't even think it's closed, probably
Speaker 3: by a landslide. So with that, I'm assuming it. There's
Speaker 3: a lot on your plate that you probably necessarily didn't
Speaker 3: sign up for, so we just had.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say that no, everything that that's on
Speaker 4: my plate. I've been through the process at the youth level,
Speaker 4: at the high school level, or at some level. God
Speaker 4: has taken me through it in the dark. So when
Speaker 4: you hit the lights, I was ready. My graduates from
Speaker 4: my school being forced back drop bag drop my drop,
Speaker 4: back drop drop
