You're going 19 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 3: to read that there's a fifty thousand dollars fine, right, 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: and that it's also ten percent of the football budget, 21 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: a fine equivalent to the anticipated postseason competition revenue sharing 22 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: associate with this and next year's college football seasons. That's 23 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 3: that's that's big, big numbers right there. Big numbers. Okay, 24 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 3: A twenty five percent reduction in football official visits during 25 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 3: the twenty five to twenty six season, that doesn't really 26 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 3: make that big atent. Okay, And Connor Stallion's Jim Harbaud, 27 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 3: Denard Robinson, even Shroan Moore is gonna suspended one additional game. 28 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: He's suspended two games this year. There's gonna be a 29 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: third one. But the big thing is that the projection 30 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: is a thirty million dollar fine Michigan, thirty million dollar fine. 31 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 3: That's a lot of money. Now, can you make it up? 32 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 3: Of course, you have one hundred thousand seat stadium, it's 33 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 3: going to be full. You can charge up ticket prices, 34 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: you can raise some more money, but that's thirty million 35 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 3: dollars that you planned on budgeting having that you won't have, 36 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 3: and you're going to lose the college football playoff revenue 37 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: you were going to get as well. And I'm going 38 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 3: to commend the NCAA again, I don't. I don't think 39 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 3: the violations were that big of a deal. I don't. 40 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: But what they've done is they found a way to 41 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: punish the school, right, without truly punishing the players at 42 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: the school, right, Like none of these they're not losing 43 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 3: a game, they're not losing a chance to play for 44 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: a championship. We're not taking down a banner. But what 45 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: we're doing is we're crippling your chance to compete and 46 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 3: go out and spend a bunch of money. Reality is, 47 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 3: I don't know how much it affects football as much 48 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 3: as the other sports, the non revenue generating sports, And 49 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 3: I'm guessing at Michigan that's everything outside of basketball and football, 50 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: men's basketball and football. But yeah, I think that what 51 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: is at steak here? Okay, what was this steak? Here? 52 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: Is the NCAA trying to find a way to find 53 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: the perfect punishment going forward. This is a This is 54 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 3: a seed change in NCAA history because in any other 55 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 3: punishment in the past, what would have happened. Scholarship productions 56 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: postseason ban and take down a banner? Right, that's like 57 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: their thing, scholarship productions, postseason ban, take down a banner. Well, 58 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 3: here's the problem. Scholarship productions don't they do work. They 59 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: cripple you going forward in the future. But now, when 60 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: you have a set number. I think it's one hundred 61 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 3: and five college football players. It's called a roster cap. 62 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: So if you had not if you just if you 63 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: took away scholarships, they can have their collective pay for 64 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: the scholarship or pay for the all the fees. Under said, 65 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 3: that makes sense. It's like you can do this when 66 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: you if you want to buy a kid a car. 67 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 3: You can't give them a car. You can't buy the 68 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: car and let him use it, but you can pay 69 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: him the money that he then pays for the car. 70 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: Making sense. Okay, So for this, if you take away scholarships, 71 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 3: all you're doing is they got they can be creative 72 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 3: and find a way to cover the cost of those 73 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: scholarships with their collective, which can be done the postseason 74 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 3: ban well. Very few of the parties that were part 75 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: of this issue at Michigan a couple years ago are 76 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 3: still on campus. So what does that really do? And 77 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 3: taking down a banner we've seen in the past, that 78 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 3: doesn't matter, That doesn't make sense, none of it. So 79 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna tell you I think this is if 80 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 3: it stands up in court, this is the future of 81 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 3: NCAA punishments. And I actually think it's pretty smart. Does 82 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 3: it cripple Michigan football? It hurts them, definitely hurts them 83 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: in perception more with fans and with the lums than 84 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: it does with players. Like guys, don't they don't care? 85 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 3: Can I still play for a championships? I still play 86 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 3: for Michigan and some a Michigan degree is still important. 87 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: My guess is here's what happens. This is just a guess. 88 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 3: Next year becomes the year where all of this affects 89 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: the football program, and I'm guessing that Sharon Moore ends 90 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 3: up because i'ming the fall guy for it. Most coaches 91 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 3: who deal with NCAA infractions don't survive to the next contract. 92 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: It's just too hard. And in this case, if you 93 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: don't have the money, you can't compete. It's really that simple. 94 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 3: If you don't have the money, you can't compete. Do 95 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 3: I think they can move some money over from other sports? Yeah, 96 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 3: they can find ways to be creative that if we 97 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 3: pay this fine out of our football budget, we'll just 98 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: find ways to get, you know, out of budget things, 99 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 3: and we'll make it work. But I don't know how 100 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: many people know this did two or three years ago 101 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 3: coming out of COVID when the Big twelve added schools. 102 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 3: Because they added schools but the new TV deal hadn't 103 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: taken place, there was like a five to six million 104 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: dollars shortfall, do you guys know that? And schools had 105 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: to decide whether or not they would just pay the 106 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 3: five or six million dollars upfront or they pay over 107 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 3: a two year period. And I know of one school 108 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: that in the summer they decided, hey, we don't need 109 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: air conditioning and in the winter, we don't need heat 110 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: in our buildings. It'll save us a million dollars. It's 111 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 3: a real thing. Right in the summer, nobody's around. If 112 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 3: you're going to have workouts you have in the morning, 113 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: you have in the in the practice facility, but in 114 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: the arenas, which are really expensive to heat and to cool, 115 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: you just cut that off for a year and some 116 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: calculations you save a million dollars. So, yeah, you got 117 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: to pay six million dollars out of the show. You 118 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 3: have six million dollars less coming in, but you're spending 119 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 3: a million dollars less over a two year period not 120 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 3: turn on the heat and not turn in the air. 121 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 3: It really is that slim of margins in high major universities. 122 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: So what do I think happens. You know, what I 123 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: think happens, quite honestly, is is that Michigan football next 124 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 3: year takes a real hit. But Michigan's other programs in 125 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 3: their athletic department are going to take the most severe hit. 126 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 3: Because if you move five hundred thousand dollars off of 127 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: softball to cover the loss of like, all of this 128 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: stuff matters. It's all connected. And as it stands, even 129 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: with the most financially successful and rich universities, they're all 130 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: working on tight margins now because you hadn't been able 131 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 3: to plan for paying kids, you know, a salary cap 132 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five million dollars. And what happens, And 133 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: just so people understand the ruling where schools get, I 134 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: think it's twenty two million a year to spend on 135 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 3: revenue share. The biggest chunk of that, like thirteen million 136 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: is proposed to be you can use for football. That's 137 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 3: only a portion of it. The rest at the high high, 138 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: highest level they get we call it sweeteners right where Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Nebraska, 139 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 3: and order to be successful, you can't build a team 140 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: on thirteen million dollars. You need like twenty five million dollars. 141 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: So the twelve million dollars is in donations to an 142 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: NIL collective, which is on top of what they're getting 143 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 3: from the universities with revshare. But all that money off 144 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: of Revshare, the money that they're making from the Big 145 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 3: Ten network from where all the Big Ten games being 146 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 3: on TV on Big noon kickoff. Whatever that money was, 147 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 3: there was a plan for it, and now they have 148 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 3: to spend you know, twenty two million of it on 149 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: players in mostly in football and basketball and occasionally in 150 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 3: an additional sport. So you're already on a tight budget. 151 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 3: You cut out ten percent sent thirty million dollar fine, 152 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 3: and now the money's got to come from somewhere. Well, 153 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 3: you're still going to invest in the programs that make 154 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 3: you money, right, So there was already the talk and 155 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 3: this is mostly non powerful of Hey, a lot of 156 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 3: these ancillary sports are not going to survive. They're just 157 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 3: not you know, lacrosse, track and field, these tennis, these 158 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: sports are expensive and they remember it's not just you 159 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 3: have to have the players there. Sometimes you have to 160 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: pay those players to compete if you want to get 161 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 3: the good ones, right, And then oh, Yeah, by the way, 162 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: you have the facilities, the coaches, the facility up keep 163 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 3: as well. All that's expensive. If you cut off the sport, 164 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 3: you're saving a couple of dollars. You just do a 165 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 3: club sport. I think that may trigger not a canceling 166 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 3: of sports at Michigan, but it's definitely going to affect 167 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 3: their entire athletic department, the whole thing.

They didn't cut the 175 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 3: legs off. They'll still be able to compete. You've still 176 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 3: got a lot of money. You can still make some 177 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 3: of it back.

Casey's covered college sports four years. He's kind 211 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 3: of have to spend some time with this year. In 212 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 3: the Herd on Fox Sports radio'm Doug Gottlieb feeling in 213 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: for Colin cowhert Andy, what's what's your reaction to the 214 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 3: punishment handed down to Michigan. 215 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 6: I think the Committee on Infractions looked at every potential 216 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 6: penalty at Mike Levy and said, is this going to 217 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 6: get the NCAA sued by Michigan? And as soon as 218 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 6: they get the answer to no, they said, that's the penalty. 219 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 6: And so they didn't do anything that was going to 220 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 6: make this drag out any longer because postseason Van would 221 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 6: have done that, Michigan would have fired back very quickly. 222 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 6: Uh More suspension of Sharon more than they gave him, 223 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 6: would have caused Michigan a fireback. Decating wins or stripping 224 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 6: tight would have caused Michigan the fireback, and they did 225 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 6: not want that smoke. 226 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would, I would, I would agree. Okay. So 227 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: I think though, that this is the wave of penalties 228 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: in the future. Right, We've been doing this for a 229 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 3: long time. Usually they do postseason ban, take down banners, 230 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: take away scholarships. You can't take away scholarships now because 231 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: the collective will just pay for it. 232 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 6: Right, that does not even that, Doug, you, You really 233 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 6: can't take away scholarships now because those are roster spots 234 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 6: that are governed by the House versus the NCAA settlement. 235 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 6: So if you took away scholarships or roster spots, however 236 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 6: you wanted to describe it, you're gonna get your ass 237 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 6: dragged into federal court. 238 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: Yeah that's crazy, that's crazy. Okay. So let's let's let's 239 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 3: get to let's get to how it affects Michigan in 240 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 3: the short term. What does it do for their season 241 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 3: this year? 242 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: Nothing. 243 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 6: They already knew that Shron is going to be suspended 244 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 6: for the Central Michigan game, which, by the way, the 245 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 6: funniest possible game they they could suspended for because that 246 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 6: was the one the place where Connor Stallion showed up 247 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 6: on the sideline. Also, the Nebraska game, the reason they 248 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 6: did this this way, Doug is thrown Moore's in Oklahoma 249 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 6: grad They played Oklahoma in game two. So instead of 250 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 6: just saying he's going to miss the first two games 251 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 6: of the season, when Michigan was trying to negotiate a 252 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 6: resolution for Sharon Wore, they offered up these two particular 253 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 6: games so that he'd be able to coach against Oklahoma. 254 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 6: The committee just said, we accept that, but you also 255 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 6: got to miss the first game of next season. 256 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 3: Okay, so how does the Michigan moving forward? 257 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 6: It doesn't because Michigan's rich. Now this is this is 258 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 6: one of the things like where you're coaching, if you 259 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 6: get hit with a penalty like that, then it's it's significant. 260 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 6: It hurts. But when you are at Michigan and you 261 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 6: have that level of donor and you can just round 262 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 6: up the donors and say, hey, guys, we would need 263 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 6: an additional thirty five million dollars to cover the shortfall 264 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 6: based on our fines of the next few years, but 265 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 6: it will allow us to continue throwing double middle fingers 266 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 6: at the NCUAA. The donors are probably just going to say, hey, 267 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 6: cash check venmo wire trends, what do you need we're 268 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 6: gonna get you that money. This would be much more 269 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 6: painful at a mid major, at a you know, a 270 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 6: sundult school, accomperence USA school. 271 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 3: I think it affects them the other sports at Michigan, right, 272 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 3: because yes they're rich. Okay, yes they're rich, but you 273 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 3: weren't planning on paying players. Now you're paying players, and 274 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: you're paying them more than you ever thought you were 275 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 3: going to pay them. And the money's got to come 276 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 3: from somewhere. And while they can eventually make it up, 277 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 3: the only way to make it up in the short 278 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 3: term is to make some cuts. And my guess is 279 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 3: I mean the. 280 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 6: Other sports, of the other sports been subsidized by football 281 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 6: the entire time. It's a little bit of okay, so 282 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 6: maybe we get a little bit less. But thanks for 283 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 6: keeping us afloat for all these years. 284 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's fair, it's I guess. But I mean 285 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 3: you you run the risk of losing those sports. Maybe 286 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 3: maybe not at Michigan. 287 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 6: No, not at Michigan. This, like I said, at another school, 288 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 6: a non you know, blue blood, non loaded school, this 289 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 6: hurts a lot more that the old Jerry Tartanian line 290 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 6: that in the NCT so mad at Western Kentucky or 291 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 6: so mad at Kentucky they killed Cleveland State, Like, if 292 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 6: this happens to Cleveland State, it's horrible. Yeah, But if 293 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 6: this happens to Michigan, or to Alabama or to Georgia, 294 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 6: it's really no big deal. 295 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 7: Yeah. 296 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 3: I think the big question is that does that thirty 297 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 3: million dollars get redistributed that especially to the schools like ours, 298 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 3: We'll take it. Hey, we'll take our little cut. 299 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 6: I was thinking about that because somebody asked me that, 300 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 6: like the bulk of this money is money cut that 301 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 6: would come from the Big Ten. That's a cut of 302 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 6: the college football playoff money. So does it go to 303 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 6: the other eighteen Big Ten schools or they have a 304 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 6: seventeen Big Ten schools like that because or does the 305 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 6: conference just pocket it? I don't really know how that works. 306 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 3: Well, it's a fine, so they have to send it 307 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 3: to the NCAA. So then what does the NCAA do redistributed. 308 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 6: Well no, no, no, it just means they can't take the way. 309 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 3: They can't take their cuts. 310 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 6: They can't. Yeah, they can't take their cuts. So they 311 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 6: have the Big Ten, I guess gets to decide what 312 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 6: to do with it. 313 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 3: I am going to disagree with you from this standpoint. 314 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 3: I don't think that there's no effect because they're rich. 315 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 3: I do think that while it doesn't feel like budgets 316 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 3: are tight, they are tighter than you think. And I 317 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 3: do think that this this hurts them, But again I don't. 318 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 6: It's not the place where if you need a quarterback, 319 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 6: they just Larry Ellison's wife like, hey, Larry, can you 320 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 6: throw in ten million dollars to get Rice under what? Sure, 321 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 6: no problems, but if it was any polace else, I'd 322 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 6: probably agree with you. 323 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 3: Andy Staples join us here. I'm Doug Gollig feeling for Colin. 324 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 3: This is the hurt. What about college football? Like, how 325 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 3: do we have any true idea? And I ask you 326 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 3: that because North Carolina's got seventy new guys mile modern 327 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 3: Oklahoma State's got sixty five new guys and you're talking 328 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 3: about fifteen padded practices before they start playing. How do 329 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 3: we know if anybody's any good? 330 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 2: We don't. 331 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 6: We don't. So we talked to my gun, the Oklahoma 332 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 6: State's coach, Big twelve media days, and he told us, guy, 333 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 6: there's probably seventy five percent of the too deep that 334 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 6: at that point had not even practiced with Oklahoma State 335 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 6: at Now that's an extreme situation because most schools, at 336 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 6: least you get most of your rosters coming in after 337 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 6: the winter portal and they go through sprint practice. But 338 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 6: Oklahoma State was a very extreme situation this year. But 339 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 6: you're right, we don't know. And even at schools where 340 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 6: like I'll give you an example, LSU. You know, LSU 341 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 6: we think is going to be a really good team. 342 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 6: They bring back Garrettuttmyer's one of the best quarterback in the country, 343 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 6: but they made such moves in the transfer portal about 344 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 6: half their defense is transfer players that they brought in. 345 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 6: We think that's going to make them definitely better on 346 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 6: because we have no idea, Like we will not know 347 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 6: until we see them playing at Clinton's week one. 348 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 3: No idea. I mean, heck, you got Ohio State Texas 349 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 3: week one of the season. I mean that's a national 350 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 3: championship caliber game. And I mean this is taking a 351 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 3: pie out of the oven that is not fully cooked. 352 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 6: Yeah. Now, at least with those two, those rosters are 353 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 6: not so transfer heavy. You know, they didn't They don't 354 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 6: really have to because they do tend to recruit so 355 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 6: well out of high school. But you know, the further 356 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 6: down you go, and especially at places where they just 357 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 6: changed coaches, it's wild. I'll give you the wildest example 358 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 6: of this. So last year, Marshall wins the Sun Belt 359 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 6: and Marshall and Charltof, the coach had kind of gotten sideways, 360 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 6: and it was clear Charltof was not going to get extended. 361 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 6: He was going to go somewhere else. So he goes 362 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 6: to Southern Myths, which is also in the Sun Belt, 363 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 6: but was the last place team in the Sun Belt, 364 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 6: and he essentially brings like a third of Marshall's starting 365 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 6: lineup to Southern Myths. So what would have been the 366 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 6: returning SUNDLT champion team is now playing for the last 367 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 6: place team, and who knows what that does to how 368 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 6: good they are. 369 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 3: It's crazy. I mean, it's just it's crazy. I've always 370 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 3: thought that the transferring to a rival or in conference 371 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 3: is I've never agreed with it. I think most people 372 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 3: are that way. There's so many other schools you can 373 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 3: go to. But now it's it's a complete freedom of movement. 374 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 3: It's who's the most interesting program? I have one in mind, 375 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: but who's your most interesting program? 376 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 7: This year? 377 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,479 Speaker 6: Well, you're an Oklahoma state guy, I'll go with your 378 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 6: bedroom rivals, Oklahoma. I think they're really interesting this year 379 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 6: because one of the hardest schedules you've ever seen in 380 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 6: your life. Brett Minnibles is under extreme pressure to win, 381 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 6: but they bring in John Mattier, be of the very 382 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 6: wide open Vendo account, who I think is going to 383 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 6: be one of the better transfer quarterback in the country 384 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 6: this year. He was the most sought after transfer in 385 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 6: the in the portal this year, so I'm excited to 386 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 6: see what he does. Because their offense was essentially non 387 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 6: functional last year for a variety of reasons. But if 388 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 6: their offense is significantly better, defense is good. So you're 389 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 6: talking about a team that should be able to compete 390 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 6: at the highest level. But their last seven games is 391 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 6: the hardest seven game stretch I think I've ever seen 392 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 6: in my life. 393 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 3: For people who are unaware of Oklahoma schedule, let me 394 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 3: let me read you those last seven games, so you know, 395 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 3: and that's not counting Michigan at home, that's not counting Auburn. 396 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 3: Who Auburn at home? Last seven games are Texas in 397 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 3: Dallas at South Carolina is very good. Ole Miss at 398 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 3: home at Tennessee who smacked him last year in Norman 399 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 3: at Alabama. They go to the Missouri at home, and 400 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 3: they go to they got LSU at home last game 401 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 3: of the year. Well, I think the big thing, you know, 402 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 3: haveing lived there, worked there, followed there covered. It is 403 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 3: like what signifies a good year has to change, especially 404 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 3: for Oklahoma because they're so used to if we don't 405 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 3: win double digits and before, if you weren't in the 406 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 3: Big twelve championship game, it was a bad year. It 407 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 3: was a disappointing year. And you look at that schedule 408 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 3: and like, if you and eight games, it's a hell 409 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 3: of a year. And for people who have been following 410 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 3: it for one hundred years to hear that is really 411 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 3: really awkward for them. 412 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 6: It's incredibly frustrating. And it's something that with a sixteen 413 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 6: team SEC and an eighteen team that ten you kind 414 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 6: of have to get used to. Everybody's got to adjust 415 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 6: their expectations here. But Oklahoma is the hardest because you know, 416 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 6: outside of Ohio State, Oklahoma's been the most consistent program 417 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 6: in the country. Like Ohio State never had a down period, 418 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 6: Oklahoma basically had the one in the mid to late 419 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 6: nineties before Bob Suke's got there. That's it. Other than 420 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 6: that they have dominated, whether it's a Big eight, Big twelve, 421 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 6: and so this is this is a really new world 422 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 6: and a really tough adjustment for them. 423 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: It's the herd here on Fox Sports. Ready, I'm Doug 424 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 3: Gottlieb filling for Collin's funny. That was actually the team 425 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 3: that I thought too. We were weird, Yes, that was 426 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 3: I Look, I thought I thought going to the SEC 427 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 3: was a mistake. I understand that the money is the money, 428 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 3: and they want to compete with all all programs, but 429 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 3: I just I just think they're another SEC school where 430 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 3: they were the school in the Big twelve, and I, 431 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 3: you know, I think that got diminished. I thought they 432 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 3: should have used that power and tried to be the 433 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 3: Texas of the new Big twelve. Speaking in the new 434 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 3: Big twelve, wasn't great last year, Like, let's just kind 435 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 3: of be honest, right, felt like a Arizona State kind 436 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 3: of came from nowhere to be competitive. This year, you 437 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 3: got k State. Everybody thinks they got a shot. Where 438 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 3: is the Big twelve? Football wise in this entire. 439 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 6: Mix fascinating because it's so easily matched. You know, there's 440 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 6: probably eight or nineteen you could really make a legitimate 441 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 6: case for to win the conference title this year. And 442 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 6: so it makes the week to week part of the 443 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 6: Big Twelve really fun to watch. It makes the viewing 444 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 6: product excellent. But Brett Yormark, their commissioner, talking about this 445 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 6: a few weeks ago, they need a couple of programs 446 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 6: to emerge as national title contender type teams. You kind 447 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 6: of have to have the big dogs at the top 448 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 6: to be an effective conference. So like, as the viewer, 449 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 6: I love that I don't know what's going to happen. 450 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 6: And we joke on my show about you know which 451 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 6: should essentially mint a special Big twelve coin that just 452 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 6: says plus three and a half and minus three and 453 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 6: a half on. 454 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: It, and. 455 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,959 Speaker 6: It's fun now. But for them to get where they 456 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 6: want to go, they need somebody, whether that's Texas Tech 457 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 6: or Baylor or TCU can't state somebody to emerge as 458 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 6: a power. 459 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't know if that's possible because like 460 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 3: you said, they are all the same. That's honestly why 461 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 3: Oklahoma should have stayed. They would have been a power. 462 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 3: But why losing them now makes everybody I mean, maybe 463 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: Arizona State. They should they got one hundred thousand students, 464 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 3: they should have more money than God. They finally won, 465 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 3: Like if if he can figure out how to you know, 466 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 3: but he's I'll tell you one of the deals. He's 467 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 3: still doesn't have an indoor facility and he wants that. Yeah, 468 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 3: my advice would be, no worry about an indoor facility, 469 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 3: stick with the bubble, spend that money on players, and eventually, 470 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,479 Speaker 3: you know, they'll they'll build you a taj mahall if 471 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 3: you'd like. That's that's generally the college exactly. 472 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 6: And they have a freaking stadium carving into a mountain. 473 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 6: I mean, come on, yeah, who wouldn't love that place? 474 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 3: Well? And did I mention one hundred thousand students and 475 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 3: and and and warmth and tempee. 476 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 6: Everybody's really good looking there. 477 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, completely completely agree. Last thing, last thing, Andy, 478 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 3: I'm sure you've heard Thomas Hammock's rant about the college experience, right, 479 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 3: and the value of the college experience and what we're 480 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,239 Speaker 3: not teaching players. Is there any way in which we 481 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 3: slow down the train of all the transfers. 482 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 6: I think the actually the school's paying will probably slow 483 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 6: it down some because they'll be able to write the 484 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 6: deals in a way that it's going to be a 485 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 6: little more difficult to transfer, or you gonna have a 486 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 6: lease of money on the table to transfer. The real 487 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 6: way to do it is some sort of collective bargaining 488 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 6: with the athletes where you can have a CBA so 489 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 6: they can't sue you, and you have real rules in 490 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 6: real contracts, and that's that's the easiest way to do it. 491 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 6: The schools just don't want to do it. 492 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, well I think they want to do it. You 493 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 3: can't make them employees. There's just there's too many other things. 494 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 6: But there are ways to not do that. I mean, 495 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 6: you think about like the Screen Actors Guild, for example. 496 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 6: Those aren't full time employees of studios or any those 497 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 6: are all contractors, but they have they have a CBA. 498 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 6: The writers skill they have a CBA, So you can 499 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 6: do it. It's just a little bit different, No. 500 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 3: It's it's a it's a lot different. If you had 501 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 3: Alabama's fastating this year, right like Kalin de boor it's 502 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 3: year two. It's the job that nobody wants to take, right, 503 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 3: be the guy who replaces Nick Saban. But you get 504 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 3: a guy who's been in the system to be your 505 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 3: starting quarterback. Yeah, what does Klen de Bor have to do? Honestly, 506 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 3: to stay. 507 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 6: Employed, you gotta make a playoffs. They're not going to 508 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 6: accept anything short of making the playoffs. But they have 509 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 6: one of the most talented rosters in the country. The 510 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 6: roster that Saban left behind pretty much intact. They lost 511 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 6: a couple, you know, like Kale downs in Ohio State 512 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 6: right after Saban resigned, But for the most part, they 513 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 6: kept a lot of those guys, and then the boy's 514 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 6: a good job of adding on to it. He's recruited 515 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 6: really well, and their high school recruiting seems to be 516 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 6: tracking not exactly like Saban's was, But that's because this 517 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 6: is a different era more than anything else, and Savans 518 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 6: would have looked like this too. So they have all 519 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 6: the pieces around Ty Simpson, who's the fourth year players 520 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 6: who they named the starting quarterback this week. They have 521 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,239 Speaker 6: all the pieces around him to make this work. I 522 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 6: think they are one of the most talented team in 523 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 6: the country, Doug. I think they're one of the three 524 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 6: or four most talent teams in the country. So if 525 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 6: Ty Simpson is good, and I don't even he doesn't 526 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 6: have to be no world beater. He could be above average. 527 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 6: And I think they're a playoff team. 528 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 3: You want to know the most interesting part, I'll give you. 529 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 3: I'll give you something you can talk about in your show, 530 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 3: and it's a real thing. And like, I'd love to 531 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 3: know what Simpson makes, right, because he had to win 532 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 3: the job. So he's probably not making a million dollars. 533 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 3: You know, it's probably not. Now, maybe they have maybe 534 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 3: they have a deal in your contract where you get 535 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 3: bumped at the starting quarterback you make seven figures. I 536 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 3: don't know, but the likely it is not, but it 537 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 3: would be genius if you can find program guys to 538 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 3: be your quarterback, because the quarterback is the most expensive 539 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 3: thing you get, right, so if you have a if 540 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 3: you have a quarterback, I mean, that's really what the 541 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: downfall of USC that nobody talks about. They were paying 542 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 3: Killer Williams so much money they didn't have money for 543 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 3: everybody else, so they tried to cut corners. Well, you 544 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 3: can't cut corners there if you have a quarterback. That's 545 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 3: not great. It's it's a little bit like the brock 546 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 3: Purty thing in uh with with the Niners, where you 547 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 3: save money at the quarterback, you spread out elsewhere. It 548 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 3: allows the quarterback to just run the system, just get 549 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 3: the ball to the players. That appears to be the 550 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 3: plan at Alabama. 551 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 6: I like the Trent Williams and as Caden Brockers comparison 552 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 6: very nice. Yeah, although I will stay with USC. They 553 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 6: think they got a guy, the freshman who's on Longstreet. 554 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 6: I don't think he's going to start right away. I 555 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 6: don't want to throw him into the fire immediately, but 556 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 6: it sounds like they feel very good about him going forward. 557 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 6: So Blake and Riley may have his next next gym 558 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 6: of a QB, but it may take a little little 559 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 6: time to bake. 560 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I do I do think that would be 561 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 3: everybody's just so you know, like as we all talk 562 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 3: and we all try and figure out, like, hey, what's 563 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 3: that guy doing? How can I do it? Do you do? 564 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: Do you just pay a couple of guys and everybody 565 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 3: else gets nothing? Do you teer it? Does every member 566 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 3: make a little something and then you let them earn anil? 567 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 3: Do you put bonuses in there? I just it'd be 568 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 3: fascinating to me if you look at the structure of 569 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 3: what Alabama's doing. Again, I think the high school recruiting thing. 570 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 3: You only do that if you feel like those kids, 571 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 3: especially if like I know, Oklhoma State's doing this, you 572 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 3: feel like you take we want We think Wisconsin kids 573 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 3: will want to stay. Hey, they want to stay, They 574 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 3: want to play in Wisconsin. They only want to play 575 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 3: for the University wisconsonant play for the Badgers or play 576 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 3: for US, and that's it. And the ones who are 577 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 3: recruiting aren't seen as good enough to play for the 578 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 3: Badgers as of yet. And so we tell them, hey, 579 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 3: look man, you're probably not gonna play year one, maybe 580 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 3: not year two, but three, four, five, and you can 581 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 3: play close to home. We can raise more money, we 582 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 3: can put more people in the seats, and we can 583 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 3: keep more players. That's also what I think a lot 584 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 3: of people are trying to do in the high school recruiting. 585 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 3: But you have to take high school kids knowing you're 586 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 3: only gonna be able, like in football, play one or 587 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 3: two because the rest is well and. 588 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 6: The thing is now, you can't you can't stack them 589 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 6: the way that that Saban would stack them and urban 590 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,479 Speaker 6: Meyer would stack them. At Ohio State, your you know, 591 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 6: beneath your top eight guys, you're not going to be 592 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 6: able to pay the next group enough because some other 593 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 6: school like North Carolina just did this to Ohio State 594 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 6: where they took an Ohio State commit who's from Ohio, 595 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 6: and like it used to be that nobody from Ohio 596 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 6: would ever decommit from Ohio State. They would never like that. 597 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 6: You don't lose Ohio kids if you're Ohio State. But 598 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 6: in this case, he's probably the you know, the seventeenth 599 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 6: or eighteenth guy if you're talking about technic order the 600 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 6: recruiting class at Ohio State. Well, if North Carolina comes 601 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 6: in and offers them significantly more money and says you'll 602 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 6: probably get to play pretty quickly. And oh, by the way, 603 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 6: it's Bill Belichick who can presumably develop you for the NFL, 604 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,959 Speaker 6: then all of a sudden, it's really hard for an 605 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 6: Ohio State to keep that guy. And so that that's 606 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 6: where it'll be interesting because you see these guys kind 607 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 6: of spreading out. But to your point about building through 608 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 6: the draft versus building through free agency in the NFL, 609 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 6: we've seen you can. It only works if you build 610 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 6: through the draft. And I think you're still seeing the 611 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 6: Georgians and the Alabama and the ohighest states of the world. 612 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 6: That's what they really want to do. They don't want 613 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 6: to go and have to play. You know, they'll plug 614 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 6: a couple holes, but they don't really want to replace 615 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 6: their team whole. And so like Billy Napier at Florida 616 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 6: got killed for that the first three years, it may 617 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 6: wind up saving him ultimately because he's got an old team. 618 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 6: They didn't quit on him when things were bad. Last year. 619 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 6: They got better and maybe they're good this year. 620 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. Any great stuff, man, I'm ready for college football 621 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 3: know you are as well. Thanks so much for joining 622 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 3: us in the Herd. 623 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 6: Thanks Doug. 624 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 3: All right, let's get to Greg Tooey with the news. 625 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 2: No, no, no, this is the Herd Line news. 626 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 4: What's up, Doug. What's up there? Doing big series in 627 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 4: LA this weekend? Dodgers Padres three game set at Chavez Ravine. 628 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 4: But now, Doug, the Dodgers are looking up in the 629 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 4: NL West. They trail the Padres by a game. Starting 630 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,800 Speaker 4: to get a little dicey here in the NL West. 631 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 4: Here was former All Star Matt Holliday last hour on 632 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 4: the Dodgers as we hit the home stretch. 633 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 8: I think they're just as big a threat to win 634 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 8: the World Series as they were at the beginning of 635 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 8: the season. Now they're not going to win one hundred 636 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 8: and twenty games like maybe we thought with the roster 637 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 8: they constructed. But it's very difficult over one hundred and 638 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 8: sixty two game season for everything to go as planned 639 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 8: and sort of the formula that you put on paper 640 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,439 Speaker 8: is going to work out. It's just such a long 641 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 8: season and there's so many factors that play into that. 642 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 8: But when it comes down to a playoff month, I 643 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 8: think they're just as good a position as they were ever. 644 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 4: He makes a lot of good points, and it's kind 645 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,919 Speaker 4: of how you feel, you're you're not really worried about 646 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 4: the Dodgers at that point. 647 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 3: No, Yeah, they've had a lot of injuries and that's 648 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 3: a lot of season. If they get healthy, if they 649 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 3: get right, And the fact is, like I'm here's what 650 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 3: I am. I want to see what they do against 651 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 3: the Padres in this stretch. Yeah, because the Padres, this 652 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 3: is man. They they like to talk some ish. They 653 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 3: they're a little nastier than other teams. And I know 654 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 3: you're thinking like baseball, like it's baseball, Like now, remember 655 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 3: the other Dave Roberts.

I mean, he's been 681 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 6: out here almost every day. I'm excited to where he's 682 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 6: at and we'll see when we want to him. 683 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 4: So, Doug, you have the honor of being a coach 684 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 4: and working in the media. Yeah, was he trying to 685 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 4: bait Rabel? And how do you feel when this happens 686 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 4: to you as a coach? Do you feel like you 687 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 4: get baited? Sometimes? 688 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 3: I don't feel like it. Well, okay, there's a I 689 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 3: think a guy who does an excellent job a local writer, 690 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 3: and I don't think he baits. But it was like, 691 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 3: we had a conversation where we were talking about a 692 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 3: bunch of things and I said, hey, you know, he's like, well, 693 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 3: what's going to change with radio? And I was like, 694 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 3: well nothing. I was like, I don't know. Maybe maybe 695 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 3: there's a chance I take a day off if I 696 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 3: feel like I need to focus for a day on 697 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 3: a particular game. I mean, all the honest thing is 698 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 3: I actually need the radio the day of the game 699 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 3: because otherwise I just you just sit there in your 700 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 3: room watching film over it like your board. Yeah, there's 701 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 3: nothing you can do. Yeah, if you're not prepared, I 702 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 3: would understand, But there's no cramming in college basketball anyway. 703 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 3: So how the story came out was different than how 704 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 3: what we were talking about, because you know, and so 705 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 3: you do have to be very careful with it. And 706 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 3: people ask me all the time, what have you learned 707 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 3: the most? Well, I've learned that I'm not a head coach. 708 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 3: I'm the CEO, right, But I've also learned it just 709 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 3: say less. That's as much as I as much as 710 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 3: I want to explain everything, like, nobody cares. What's going 711 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 3: to change. Nothing. We're still doing the radio show. It's 712 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 3: gonna be awesome. I'm more focused. I have my own 713 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 3: personal assistant, so everything is way more prepared for everything 714 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 3: that I do. And our team is better. Our team 715 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 3: is older, our coaching staff knows the rhythm of everything. 716 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 3: We're going to be better across the board. Periods do 717 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 3: move on. Next question. So I don't know if it's 718 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 3: necessarily baiting, but yeah, it's leading the witness. There you go. 719 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:08,280 Speaker 3: That's the news. 720 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 2: Well, that's the news, and thanks for stopping The Herd 721 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 2: Line news. 722 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 3: The greatest or maybe most interesting nine to one one 723 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 3: call you're gonna hear.

Okay, So have you guys 736 00:38:53,200 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 3: heard about the Brewers and the Burgers? Yeahs heard about this? No? No, okay. 737 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 3: There's a place called George Web. It's a small chain 738 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 3: in Milwaukee, and apparently this has been going on for 739 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 3: a long time George Web Restaurants. I have had this 740 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 3: deal a twenty three local restaurants that if the Brewers 741 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 3: win twelve consecutive games, anybody who comes in, and it's 742 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 3: since the nineteen forties, anybody who comes in gets free 743 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 3: burger between twelve pm and six pm. Right, think about that. So, 744 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 3: in the process of this winning streak, they were winning 745 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 3: their twelfth game. That's when this call came into nine 746 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 3: to one. 747 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 7: One, King two twenty seven at George twelve one nine 748 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 7: five five five West Blue Mountain Road called nine to 749 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 7: one one because they won't get them as free burgers 750 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,439 Speaker 7: for the Brewers game today. As advised, the game wasn't 751 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,080 Speaker 7: over yet. Not sure if the subject is still standing by. 752 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 3: Think about that for a second. Guy wants his burger 753 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 3: so bad he goes to the restaurant before the game 754 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 3: is actually completed. Right now. The downside is it's kind 755 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 3: of a snap sad snapshot of society. Right, you want 756 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 3: another plus side there is that You're like, what's the positive, Well, 757 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 3: there's two positives. One that these type of randoms are 758 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 3: paying attention to baseball. I think that's right. That's the 759 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 3: It's like the SEC says it means more, but I 760 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 3: don't know any nine one one calls coming about free 761 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 3: meals in the SEC. That's pretty good. And the second 762 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 3: part is if you know anything about Milwaukee and you 763 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 3: know some of the strife they've had, some of the 764 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 3: racial issues they've had, especially in Racine. Right, if this 765 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 3: is the biggest problem in Milwaukee, remember there's flooding last 766 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:57,839 Speaker 3: weekend eleven twelve inches of rain in a day was crazy, right, 767 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 3: Even the Brewers Stadium American Family Field, the parking lots 768 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 3: were flooded and they drained it out just before the game. 769 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 3: If this is the biggest problem that dudes are calling 770 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 3: nine to one one because they're not getting it, go 771 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 3: back my free burger, A tasty burger. 772 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 4: It is a tasty burger, Doug to what extreme would 773 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 4: you go to to get a free promotion?
