UK athletics made its biggest uh change 29 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 4: in what it is ever yesterday in my opinion, like 30 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 4: like in terms of and I don't think it's gonna 31 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 4: have as massive an effect, but it is complete. I 32 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 4: think UK changed the way most colleges are going to 33 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 4: do athletics yesterday, and we have to talk about it. 34 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, that day kind of set the pace now for 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 5: other schools to follow, right, they're kind of on there. 36 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 5: That's going to be the leader in that, Yeah, potentially. 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 5: But we're gonna get to that. 38 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 4: But we have to start with the draft because I 39 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 4: find Drew the draft to be one of the more 40 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 4: entertaining things that I has nothing to do with football. 41 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't ever know 42 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 4: any of these people like they can you know they 43 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 4: I start following the draft about a week before, and 44 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 4: then I learned things that are apparently very important, and 45 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 4: then I have strong opinions. So let me just go 46 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: through a couple of things. First of all, I'll give 47 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 4: you an example of how I have a strong opinion 48 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 4: that I had no opinion about. A few days ago, 49 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 4: I had zero opinion about Will Johnson of LSU's arm length. Okay, 50 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 4: never thought. I didn't even know who the kid was. 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 4: I had no opinion about. And then I started listening 52 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 4: to draft podcast and they kept saying, you know the 53 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 4: problem with Will Johnson there at number four for the Patriots. 54 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 4: His arms are really short, and his last name is 55 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 4: Campbell and they are so close. Then I will Campbell, 56 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 4: same thing. They still learn it still, but I was 57 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 4: focused on his arms. They just kept saying, there's no 58 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 4: way a guy can play left tackle in the NFL 59 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 4: with arms that short. And I thought, well, why would 60 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 4: that be a big deal? And then I was like, well, 61 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 4: you know, you got a block and get him out. 62 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 4: So I decided when he was about to get picked, 63 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: I'm sitting there watching. I'm like, I'm watching for his arm. Yes, 64 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 4: there's no way his arms are as short as they 65 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 4: say they are, right, because they keep How short can 66 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 4: the man's arms be little t rex arms? Yeah? So 67 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 4: he gets up. He has on a suit that respectfully, 68 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 4: white people should not wear that color. You should not 69 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 4: wear green. I wear green to the oaks sometimes as 70 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 4: a joke. Yes, but you should not wear a pin 71 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 4: striped green suit as a pale white guy. But he did. 72 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: He's having his moments. But when he gets up, all right, true, 73 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 4: he gets up and he stands up, and I look, 74 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 4: and he's got whoop be arms. He's got woo be arms. 75 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 4: They barely get to his waist. So, like, right now, 76 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 4: wherever you are, if you're not driving, you can stand up, 77 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 4: put your arms down. You stand up there. You see, 78 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 4: you are supposed to have your arms like halfway down 79 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 4: your pocket. Okay, okay, maybe a little towards the bottom 80 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 4: of your pocket. Yeah, assuming you're wearing your pants at 81 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 4: the right place. All right, So I have very long arms. 82 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 4: I go to the bottom of my pocket, go yesterday 83 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 4: and watch will Johnson his barely come to his pocket. 84 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: And I just decided, right then, bust bust with his 85 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 4: will Be arms. They're not gonna work. Had no opinion 86 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 4: on the guy's arms until yesterday strong opinion after the 87 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 4: hardest part of the night was Roger Dale shaking his hand. 88 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 6: I didn't think Will could even get his arm out 89 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 6: there to shake Roger's hand. I thought he was gonna 90 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 6: wear like the Secret Service fake arms in his suit 91 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 6: to you know, kind of extend those a little bit. 92 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 6: He thought he wasn't even gonna be able to reach you. 93 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 6: Goodell had to go ninety nine and Will just had 94 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 6: to go one for that hand. 95 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 4: So that's what I love about the draft. You just 96 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 4: have things that you never cared about that then you 97 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: decide to care. So I'm gonna go over. I went 98 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 4: through some notes. Are you ready ready? I thought it 99 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: was really dorky for Roger to get Goodell to come 100 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 4: out on that bicycle, all right. I know in Green 101 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 4: Bay people ride bikes, but he looks so awkward. Yes 102 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 4: it is, and it's actually very hard Drew to ride 103 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 4: a bike slowly, and you know, he had to ride 104 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 4: a bike slowly. It's actually hard to do that because 105 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 4: you have to keep your balance. 106 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 6: And I thought that was end at that age, Shannon, 107 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 6: you rode the Packers bike? 108 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 4: Yeah? Are you a former Packers bike rider? I am? 109 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 3: Yeah. 110 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: So did you like that he came out in the 111 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 4: in the bike. 112 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: I thought it was a cool nod to the Packers. 113 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, then they picked cam Ward. There's never been 114 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 4: a first pick Ryan, They've talked about less picked. And 115 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 4: then there was a trade and they were like, all right, 116 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 4: well the number one guy's quarterback next yep. So like 117 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 4: he was gone, Like, there's never been a number one 118 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 4: overall pick that was talked about less than cam Woard. 119 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, because you know all week they were talking about 120 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 5: he was probably gonna be the number one pick. So 121 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 5: I wasn't a surprise, but that trade was a little 122 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 5: bit of a surprise. So that's why they weren't to emphasize. 123 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 4: Travis Hunter goes number two. I just remember my number 124 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 4: one thing was is he still dating his girlfriend?

A few it was 175 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 6: always someone that wasn't supposed to be the star and 176 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 6: I'm the star. And last night it was that baby 177 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 6: that now needs to be in concussion protocols for mom 178 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 6: just banging its head around. 179 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 4: Another thing I noticed for the people that were not 180 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 4: at the draft, it feels like the amount of people 181 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 4: getting invited into the rooms keeps growing, like there are 182 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 4: fifty to sixty people now in each room. I was 183 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 4: thinking if it were me, I don't wouldn't have this 184 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,119 Speaker 4: many people. I think I would have a very small group. 185 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 4: I don't even know if I know sixty people that 186 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 4: I would want to go. Would you have a big 187 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,239 Speaker 4: group in yours. 188 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 5: If I was a chance to be a first round 189 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 5: draft pick, I would have the whole city of Lexington 190 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 5: probably join me. 191 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 4: I actually believe that, yes, I wouldn't want all those 192 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 4: people in my house. Plus you're waiting and they're looking 193 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 4: at you like, oh, let's go happen here in a minute. 194 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 4: I just I don't think I would enjoy that. 195 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 6: I think I would have a pretty big party if 196 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 6: I were going to the green Room, and it'd be 197 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 6: hard to get all those people to want to travel 198 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 6: to Green Bay. But other than that, I think i'd 199 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 6: like to have my squad there. 200 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 4: Would you want to be at the draft or would 201 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 4: you want to be at your house? Because it looked 202 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: like there were more people at their house than usually 203 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 4: are amongst the top picks a leen house. 204 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 6: Unless I was for sure tops with just the fear 205 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 6: of being one of the guys that sits there, cause 206 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 6: you get talked about forever as a even though you're 207 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 6: not a bust, you're considered one because you didn't get picked. 208 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 4: On night one, Shannon Are, the Bears picked a guy 209 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 4: and he was a tight end, and he was the 210 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 4: second ranked tight end even though the first ranked tight 211 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 4: end was on the board. So I thought I was going. 212 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 4: I was a little disappointed. And then they showed his 213 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 4: house and he had two massive elk Did you see that? Yeah, 214 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 4: he had two just massive elk. 215 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 3: You think he mounted those himself. 216 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: I don't know, but they think. I don't really know 217 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 4: elk size. I'm not an elk expert, but it felt 218 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 4: like to me those were really big elk, And so 219 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 4: I thought, Okay, I think I like this guy. Now 220 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 4: I think I need my tight end to have two 221 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 4: really big. 222 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 3: Elk enough though you don't really need two. 223 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 4: I need to because he's a tight end. That means 224 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 4: he can play on the left and the right side. 225 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 4: Big help, And so then I felt better about our pick. 226 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 5: Well, you want your tight end to be a little nasty, 227 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 5: So if he's out there hunting and maybe cleaning himself. 228 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, male, hope he cleaned himself, clean the elk. 229 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 4: You mean clean the elk? Yeah, I mean I think 230 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 4: for his teammates, they need to clean. He went on 231 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 4: a Vader situation ship that's right. Yeah, So I do 232 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 4: hope he cleans himself. 233 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 6: I've wondered, including him, if if these guys like stage 234 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 6: a house, like sometimes if you're doing a Netflix interview, 235 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 6: they take you to Airbnb so it looks nicer. I 236 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 6: wonder if they're like, all right, let's rent some elk 237 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 6: for the night, throw them on the wall. Let's really 238 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 6: get this place looking nice for draft night. 239 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 4: So then another thing I noticed, It felt like this 240 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 4: year there were a lot more family members who had 241 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 4: airbrushed T shirts. Like of that, there was the family 242 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 4: where the kid had an airbrush T shirt of his parents, 243 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 4: and the parent had an airbrush T shirt of the kid. 244 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 4: I thought you could only get that done at gatlin Burg. 245 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 4: But some of these looked really nice, like really nice 246 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 4: airbrush T shirts. Do you like that trend? 247 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 7: I I didn't know that was a trend until last night. 248 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 7: Last I saw one of them. 249 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't know why why that came from? 250 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 5: Why that started, but you know you're trying to it's 251 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 5: a fashion statement. 252 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 4: You know, it's a weird fashion statement because I feel 253 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 4: like the only people I see besides the draft wearing 254 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 4: airbrush t shirts of their face are either people at 255 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 4: Walmart or some funerals that they didn't have the service 256 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 4: at the park and everyone wears a shirt. Those are 257 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 4: the only times I ever. 258 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: High school spring break. 259 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 6: Yeah one, it might have said that spring break two 260 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 6: thousand and one on the Ring Break two thousand Okay. 261 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: Maxwell Harriston was one of the stars of the draft 262 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 4: because he was so nice. First of all, he got 263 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 4: picked by the Bills. That's great. He's gonna be on 264 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 4: a good team with Ray Davis Ray Davis, so that's cool. 265 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 4: But he was one of the stars of the draft 266 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 4: because of how nice he was. First of all, great jacket, 267 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 4: that was a great jacket. That blue jant was that 268 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 4: like peacock print. I was trying to figure out. I 269 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 4: don't know. I thought, whoever got him his jacket salute? 270 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 4: Then he was just hugging everybody or right. It kind 271 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 4: of reminded me of you. Even though all these people 272 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 4: were getting picked ahead of him, he seemed genuinely happy 273 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 4: for everybody else. CBS Sports has this video this morning 274 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 4: of them playing like a very sort of emotional song 275 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 4: and just showing him hugging everybody, and then when it 276 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 4: was his turn, they hugged him. I felt like Maxwell 277 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 4: Harriston was the feel good story of the nine. 278 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 7: It was I thought it was. It was a great moment. 279 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 5: And even after he got drafted, when Laura re Ltd 280 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 5: interviewed his family, everybody's family was the same way. 281 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 7: They're all so nice, so nice. 282 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 4: That's one of the things UK Football's got to do 283 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 4: a better job of allowing us to know these kids. 284 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 4: Because I had no idea that Maxwell Harriston was that 285 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 4: big a personality. He should have been on this show 286 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 4: like all the time, because he showed that in the 287 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 4: last few days. 288 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, he was the star. I mean I saw several 289 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 6: tweets from people there a Lissa Laye, Kay Adams. They 290 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 6: were saying Max Harrison is the star of the draft. 291 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 6: I mean, the guys would get their hat, hug Max Harriston, 292 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 6: and then they'd chack the commissioner's hand. 293 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 4: It was all part of the process and it's a 294 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 4: great lesson. Like he seemed genuinely happy for everyone else, 295 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 4: and then it worked out for him. He wasn't sitting 296 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 4: there going that should have been me. He was expressing 297 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 4: joy to everybody else. That was very cool. 298 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 5: You know how much he means to the guys in 299 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 5: the UK locker room because you saw how they all 300 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 5: reacted when he yes video of memory. Yeah, jumping up 301 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 5: and down and celebrating alongside of him. 302 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 4: And then probably the biggest story was that Shador Sanders 303 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 4: dropped out of the first round. Now, I said on 304 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 4: this show, if they don't have a camera live on him, 305 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 4: that's a problem. They did have a room, but no 306 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 4: one was in the room, right. Remember when they showed 307 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 4: the room, there was nobody in it. I was like, oh. 308 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 4: And then when they would go to the house, he 309 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: was never on screen. It was just Dion and a 310 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 4: dude in one of those big hats. Who was that guy, 311 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 4: the Philly guy, Gilly he does a lot with barstool. 312 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 4: That was that? Who that was? That was the guy 313 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 4: with the big hat? Okay, well, I guess maybe he'll 314 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 4: be at the thing that we might see him next Monday, 315 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 4: But but they just they would never show him. That's 316 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 4: when I knew it was going to be a long 317 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 4: fall for him. 318 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, you kind of, you know, tip us off to 319 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 5: that if there's no live camera on the family and 320 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 5: him sitting on the couch. He knew he's probably not 321 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 5: gonna be one of the top picks. But I was 322 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 5: surprised he fell out of the first completely fell out 323 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 5: of the first round. 324 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 325 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 6: When the Giants traded up to get a quarterback, I thought, well, 326 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 6: there he is, he's going to New York. There was 327 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 6: a lot pre draft about him going to New York 328 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 6: and then they took Jackson Dart. That had to have 329 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 6: just been a knife in the heart. Jackson Dart, by 330 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 6: the way, guaranteed bust. Absolutely guarantee every year. I give 331 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 6: you my four star Lock of the Year bust. Anthony 332 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 6: Richardson was that two years ago. Jackson Dark guaranteed bust. 333 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 6: There's no way that works out, just mark it down. 334 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 6: That made it much worse for him. And there was 335 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 6: one moment where ESPN went to his house and they 336 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 6: quickly cut it because they were watching the NFL network. 337 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 6: Did you see that it had the NFL network guy 338 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 6: on the screen and ESPN like cut right back out. 339 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 4: Huh Yeah.

When Jackson Dark got picked again, he 347 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 4: didn't even talk about Jackson Dart. He just talked about 348 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 4: how Shadur Sanders was better. And I was like, I 349 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 4: think Jackson Dart's gonna be a bust, but at least 350 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 4: give the guys. Dude. He didn't even like all he 351 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 4: did was talking.

For 355 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 6: the next day, He's like, what about the guy that 356 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 6: just got drafted? 357 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 4: Do you any he's going down with the Sanders ship. 358 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, we said that for the show Shadeers.

He was gonna 360 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 5: hang with him the whole time, and you know, doesn't 361 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 5: make him lose a little credibility because that was his 362 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 5: number one court. 363 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 4: We won't know until a few years from that, right, Like, 364 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 4: I mean, he did this same thing with Aaron Rodgers 365 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 4: where he was like, why are they letting Aaron Rodgers slip? 366 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 4: And that ended up Aaron Rodgers was was good. Now 367 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 4: He's also did it with like Blaine Gabbert, who ended 368 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 4: up terrible. So you never really know. 369 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 6: I thought you were gonna lead with clay Man. That 370 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 6: was like a direct shot you where he pulled out 371 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 6: the Yeah. 372 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 4: I mean he the combination of Trump and the bear suck. 373 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 4: Clay Matthews.

It's 376 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 4: it's all. It's a Bosa or it's aj Horn or 377 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 4: whatever his name is, or it's Matthews, like they all, 378 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 4: they all do it. 379 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 6: I liked, I'm not really caring about that rivalry. To 380 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 6: be on that stage and pull out the bear suck. 381 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 4: That was nice.

One person writes on 394 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 4: the text machine seven seven two seven seventy four five 395 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 4: two five four, Matt, one of the things that fascinates 396 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,239 Speaker 4: me is how many jerseys must be backstage. They have 397 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 4: to have a jersey for every team, for every player. 398 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 4: Interesting you say that. I've thought about that for years. 399 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 4: I've always thought I'd love to get the jersey that 400 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 4: they don't use of a player. So I'd love to 401 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 4: have like a Patrick Mahomes Bears jersey, because we considered 402 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 4: picking him, passed him over and then he went to 403 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 4: Kansas City. That'd be a cool collectible. That's not how 404 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 4: they do it. Yeah, I saw the video. Have you 405 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 4: seen this in the citiot. They have you saw it. 406 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 4: It was on it was on social media yesterday. They 407 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 4: have five jerseys of each team that are blank on 408 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 4: the name. When the pick is in, you know how, 409 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 4: the thing will say pick is in and then there's 410 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 4: a long delay. Yeah. The reason is a delay is 411 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,479 Speaker 4: they're making their jersey. They take that, they see it, 412 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 4: they get it, they give it. They have a press 413 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 4: in the back and they have all the names and 414 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 4: they take it and quickly press the name onto the jersey. 415 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 4: That's that little delay from when they say the pick 416 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 4: is in and when they announce it they quickly. It 417 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 4: takes like ninety seconds they make the jersey and then 418 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 4: they have it right there. So there's act. They're literally 419 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 4: doing it backstage. Isn't that kind of interesting? 420 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 7: It's kind of old school, but it's awesome that they 421 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 7: do it that way. 422 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 4: Yeah. I like it. And they have to have the 423 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 4: name of every player in every team's font just in cases. 424 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 5: So I remember the NFL COVID draft. Jedrick willis from 425 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 5: here in Lexington. He got sent a hat of every 426 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 5: single team. 427 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 4: They do that with the hat. Yeah, so with the jersey. 428 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I was thinking as we watched that he has 429 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 6: to do it so quickly. There's a lot of pressure. 430 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 6: You gotta get that straight. I make sure the name 431 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 6: is right. But his neat just sell just ready to 432 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 6: go to Jersey. 433 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 4: All right, Why would anyone Shannon go to this thing? Okay, 434 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 4: let me explain what is party? But you're just standing 435 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 4: there in a parking Okay. So when we watch it 436 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 4: on TV, we get to see all the production. The 437 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 4: guys talk about it, they show highlights. When they're just 438 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 4: standing there, they don't show anything. It's just Roger Goodell 439 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 4: comes out. He tries to be cool with his stupid 440 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 4: bro hugs and all that, and then that's it. And 441 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 4: then for ten minutes you're just standing there. Do you 442 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 4: think that would be fun? Like? Would you want to 443 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 4: go to the NFL Draft? 444 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 5: I would not go to the NFL drafts. I didn't 445 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 5: go when it was in Nashville. But y'all, I'm with 446 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 5: you on this. It's always fascinating me. These people. They 447 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 5: dress up and like the Baltimore Ravens gear and everything, 448 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 5: and then they announced the Ravens draft Mario O. 449 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 7: Maitland and they go crazy and they have no idea 450 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 7: who they. 451 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: Just draft and it's not just people like from Wisconsin, 452 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 2: this people from all over the world. 453 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 4: There were two hundred thousand people, massive crowd. I don't 454 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 4: I don't get it. I don't get and I especially 455 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 4: don't get the people that are going like tonight and 456 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 4: the next time, cause I know you don't know who 457 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 4: those people are, Like, why are you going? I'm your huckleberry. 458 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 6: I had a group we considered going this year when 459 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 6: the Titans got the number one pick, And if not 460 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 6: for Romeo and Juliet, I might have been there last night. 461 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 4: So if you had gone, what would you have done? 462 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 6: Partied like Shannon so you could party here. But it's 463 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 6: the draft. My team's got the number one pick. 464 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 4: I don't mind. 465 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 6: Like I said, they picked cam you don't like standing around. 466 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 6: I don't mind standing around and hanging out. 467 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 4: So they picked cam Ward. 468 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 6: Then what are you doing the rescue partyingoo other picks, 469 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 6: hang out with people, check out, check out the scene 470 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 6: in Green Bay. 471 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 4: So you would go? Yeah, I actually we considered it. 472 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 4: We had about four of us that we're gonna go. See. 473 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 4: I would go to the NBA Draft because you're sitting down, Yes, 474 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 4: you're indoors. Yes, seems like you can see everything. But 475 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 4: I looked at that big mass of humanity last night, Shannon, 476 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 4: and I was thinking that just looks. 477 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: Awful to me that that basically doubled the population of 478 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 2: green Bay. 479 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 4: That's crazy. 480 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, green Bay, it was like. 481 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 2: One hundred thousand, you say, two hundred thousand was there, 482 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 2: so I can't imagine, like they probably didn't have enough 483 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 2: hotel rooms for everybody. 484 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 6: Of course, all the backyards, like where we went to Telgate, 485 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 6: that was pretty cool. I like seeing the scene around 486 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 6: there of people doing what they would do for a 487 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 6: normal pass. 488 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 4: So when I went up there when we went to 489 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 4: that game, and then when I did the show for ESPN, 490 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 4: there's a house that's right there next to the stadium 491 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 4: that ESPN Milwaukee owns. That would I would go there. 492 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 4: You could, you could sit in the yard and watch, 493 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 4: like I would go there, But I don't think I 494 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 4: would go stand in that park. 495 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 7: I'm kind with you. 496 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 5: I would enjoy being at that house and just being 497 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 5: a part of it. But man, that they kept showing 498 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 5: those drone shots of that massive crowd of people that 499 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 5: was that was unbelievable. 500 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 4: I'd really just go to boom own team probably being 501 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 4: a Titans fanly. I also like that they will find 502 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 4: in the in the lot. It'll be like the Arizona 503 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 4: Cardinals will be on the clock and there'll be a 504 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 4: camera with like six Arizona people and they're just looking 505 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 4: at the camera and there going. And then you go, 506 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 4: all right, did they go get those people and ask 507 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 4: them to come here? Where did they find them? Because 508 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 4: they're always at the front, which means I think they 509 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 4: bring the people up and they go stand here. And 510 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 4: I was thinking last night, what would be the team 511 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 4: that would have the fewest people in that crowd? Oh, 512 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 4: the Chargers. 513 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 6: That's remember when they had the Zoom draft they couldn't 514 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 6: even get people on Zoom. The twenty twenty year they 515 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 6: had fans on that big uh they had like the 516 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 6: one Chargers woman. Remember, It's like they couldn't get more. 517 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 4: Than a very good point about the Chargers. I wondered, 518 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 4: did they shoot? Did they show fans for the Chargers? 519 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 4: I think you have to hire local actors for teams 520 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 4: like the Chargers, especially in Green bell I was gonna 521 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 4: say that Cardinals would have the fewest fans, but I 522 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 4: think you're right, Well, those are one A and one 523 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 4: B the Chargers because the people that were Chargers fans. 524 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 4: They moved so like, if you live in San Diego, 525 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 4: do you even still like them anymore? 526 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,239 Speaker 6: Maybe if the draft's in a fun city. But at 527 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 6: Green Bay those had to have been paid actors. 528 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 4: Next year, you know where it is? Cleveland? Oh? Is 529 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 4: it really so? Get excited? I did like the one guy, 530 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 4: I think it was Travis Henry. They're like, what do 531 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 4: you think of being up here? And he was like, 532 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 4: there's nothing to do, I'm ready to leave. Well, there 533 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 4: you go.

One person writes, 553 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 4: matt if you were in Europe and you saw the 554 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 4: NFL draft was there, I think you would go to 555 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 4: be part of the atmosphere, So why wouldn't you do 556 00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 4: it in America? Okay, that's a fair point. But at 557 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 4: the same time, I watched the draft and I don't 558 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 4: think it feels like good atmosphere. Like the reason I 559 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 4: wanted to go to the darts in soccer was it 560 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 4: looks like crazy atmosphere to me. Except for when the 561 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 4: packers were picking. It didn't look like a great atmosphere. 562 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 4: It looked like people just standing around. 563 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 5: I think it'll be something fun to maybe do for 564 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 5: an hour an hour? 565 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, then, okay, that's fair. Let's quickly take a call. 566 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 4: Who's up first. 567 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 3: Let's go to Matthew. 568 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 4: Matthew, go ahead, Matthew. 569 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 8: Good morning, gentlemen, First time, longtime? 570 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 4: Who what's up. 571 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 9: First? 572 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 8: I would like to make a statement and say you're 573 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 8: welcome to the BBN. I work at Tyson Foods in 574 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 8: Clinton County, Kentucky. So I would like to imagine that 575 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 8: part of my contribution is to saving the university thirty 576 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 8: three million dollars. 577 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 4: Yes, well, you're to thank you to Arkansas for doing that. 578 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 4: What's your second thing? 579 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 8: I would like to take a point from yesterday's show 580 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 8: about the NIL. It might be a unpopular opiece onion, 581 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 8: but I like to imagine about seventy five percent of 582 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 8: Kentucky fans are Kentucky fans primarily because of the basketball team. Yes, 583 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 8: and I believe that when it comes to NIL contributions 584 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 8: that they should divvy out and feed the program that 585 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 8: has kept your school in relevancy. 586 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 4: Here's the problem with giving all the money to basketball, 587 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 4: which I did. Have a lot of people write me 588 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 4: yesterday and say we should give fifty percent or seventy 589 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 4: five percent to basketball. Here's a problem. As much as 590 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 4: Kentucky is a school where basketball has historically been not 591 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 4: only better, but the focus of the fan base, guess 592 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 4: where our money comes from, Sir, guess what funds the budget. 593 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 4: Football Yep, So I mean football is what gets the revenue. 594 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 4: We are one of only like four basketball schools in 595 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 4: the country where basketball even makes a profit. But even 596 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 4: at this school where basketball makes a profit, football makes 597 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 4: a much larger profit. So if you just abandon the 598 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 4: thing that makes a profit, guess what's gonna happen. Your 599 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 4: profit's gonna go down. And then once that profit goes down, 600 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 4: it's gonna be harder for you to pay that in 601 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 4: il money. And so all this get that, there's a 602 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 4: snowball effect. So if you just abandon football and like say, 603 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 4: well we just won't even try to be competitive, people 604 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 4: will stop going to the games, and then you have 605 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 4: a severe revenue problem. 606 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 8: Well, sir, I understand that, And I'm not saying to 607 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 8: take away and just give all the money to basketball. 608 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 8: I was saying, take care of the program that keeps 609 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 8: you in national relevancy and then you know, focus on 610 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 8: the rest. I get that, you know, the football program 611 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 8: does give us more money, but I don't want to 612 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 8: go back to the Gillespie years whenever. 613 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 4: You know, doing that, apparently we're spending more on nil 614 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 4: than any other basketball program. So I appreciate the call. 615 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 4: I don't think that. I don't think that's gonna be 616 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 4: a worry. All right, So let's talk about what happened 617 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 4: yesterday with you k cause this this is this is 618 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 4: very complicated, and I admit I can't say I have 619 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 4: one hundred percent grasp on it, but I think I 620 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 4: have a decent grass. So what Kentucky has done basically 621 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 4: is they have moved UK Athletics, the entity of UK 622 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 4: Athletics into a private holding company. It is basically now 623 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 4: a private LLC. It is still run by and reports 624 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 4: to the university, but instead of UK Athletics being basically 625 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 4: like the UK School of Science, it is now a 626 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 4: holding company outside of the university that the university owns 627 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 4: but is not a part of the university. They have 628 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 4: this same model already for UK healthcare when it comes 629 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 4: to hospitals. You know, they bought a couple of hospitals 630 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 4: in eastern Kentucky and they buy Land et cetera. So 631 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 4: UK Athletics for all intents and purposes, and that is 632 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 4: now a private LLC holding company, private though, but it's 633 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 4: still owned by the university. Mitch Barnhardt, Mark Pope, Mark stoops. 634 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 4: They are now employees of this LLC. They are not 635 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 4: employees going forward of the university as a whole. Now, 636 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 4: one of the red flags for me when I heard 637 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 4: this was, you know, there are laws about disclosure right 638 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 4: and like when you're a public university you have to 639 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 4: put out salaries and all that UK. I had a 640 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 4: conversation with someone at UK that to kind of try 641 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 4: to understand this. They say, UK is still going to 642 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 4: follow all those rules even though you could make an 643 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 4: argument in an LLC, they wouldn't have to. They are 644 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 4: that's good. Yeah, so we'll still know, you know, whatever, 645 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 4: what the coaches make, et cetera. When the players are 646 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 4: getting rev share, they will now get it for this 647 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 4: from this private or from this LLC, not from the university. 648 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 4: So why did UK do this? This is just my take. 649 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 4: I think there's like three things. First of all, when 650 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 4: you want to build property, if you want to build 651 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 4: a new thing on campus, or you want to go 652 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 4: buy houses around campus to tear them down to put dorms, 653 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 4: you have to go through the state legislature and it 654 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 4: is a long process. It is a very difficult process. 655 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 4: Now the university believes they don't have to do that. 656 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 4: They can take this LLC and make decisions like a 657 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 4: business right. They can go buy a piece of property 658 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 4: in Lexington to create a new gymnastics facility or whatever, 659 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 4: and they can do it with out a lot of 660 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 4: the red tape of if they were with the university. Second, 661 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 4: and no one at the university told me this, but 662 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 4: this is how I read it. If it ends up 663 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 4: being the case that we start treating these athletes as employees, 664 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 4: which I do think is going to happen one day, 665 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 4: be a lot better for them to be private employees 666 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 4: than to be university employees because when you're university employees, 667 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 4: you have do process rights, you have all of this 668 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 4: stuff that comes into play a private employee, it's a 669 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 4: different set of things. I think if UK didn't tell 670 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 4: me this, it's just me. The idea that one day 671 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 4: these athletes might be employees is a big driver of this. 672 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 4: You'd rather have them be employees of a private company 673 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 4: than all the things that come with being a state employee. 674 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 4: Does that make sense? Yes. The other thing is it's 675 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 4: a public private partnership, which means they can reach deals 676 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 4: with people and it not have to go through all 677 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,719 Speaker 4: the tea the board of trustees, you know, all go 678 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 4: through all the processes you have to do make a 679 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 4: business deal. You can actually be nimble, to use a 680 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 4: business term, you can move quickly. Now the question becomes 681 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 4: who runs this new thing? And this is where I 682 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 4: think UK is making a very brilliant decision. The athletic departments, 683 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 4: if we're all being real, now, are business entities. Yeah 684 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 4: they are, Okay, they are not just good old boys 685 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 4: hiring the coach and saying go team. They are running 686 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 4: multi multi million dollar business. Yes, they have to pay coaches, 687 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 4: they have to raise revenue, ticket prices, endorsements, all of 688 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 4: this stuff, none of which really has anything to do 689 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 4: with athletics. They are businesses and all of these schools 690 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 4: have been using administrators from sports to try to run 691 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 4: what amounts to one hundred million dollar businesses. UK, in 692 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 4: my opinion, is facing a reality of these are businesses. 693 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 4: Why don't we get some business people in here run it? Right? 694 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 4: No offense to Mitch Barnhart, he's great at what he does, 695 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 4: but Mitch Barnhart is not the CEO of a business. 696 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 4: But now, running UK athletics is a business. So they're 697 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 4: gonna have this group of people, a couple of which 698 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 4: will probably have sports backgrounds, but honestly most of which 699 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 4: will have business backgrounds. You're gonna start to see people 700 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 4: in the Lexington community who have been successful business people. 701 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 4: They will now help make the decisions about the business 702 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 4: and unlike now where a lot of these boosters have 703 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 4: already been doing this, now we'll know who they are 704 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 4: and their decisions. They'll be like some public accountability for 705 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 4: what they do. I actually think it's a great idea, 706 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 4: you know, in my opinion, for universities and for the governments, 707 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 4: public private partnerships are the way to go. I used 708 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 4: to be a really big government guy and a lot 709 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 4: of times where conservatives are big private private guys. As 710 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 4: I get older, I actually think a combination is better. 711 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 4: When you have a public when you have the state 712 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 4: a public entity they think in theory about the greater 713 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 4: good and the private part makes money and when you 714 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 4: combine those you can actually get a lot done. So 715 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 4: think about the dorms over here at UK. Remember the 716 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 4: dorms at UK. Some of you all went to UK. 717 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 4: They were stunk when a lot of us went. This 718 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 4: very outdated UK made a decision the University of Kentucky 719 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 4: does not inherently know how to run a dorm. Let's 720 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 4: go get private companies that do know how to run 721 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 4: dor housing, and let's get a partnership where they make 722 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 4: the housing and we run it. And I think most 723 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 4: people will tell you one of the best things at 724 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 4: UK now is their dorms. Yes, would you agree with? Oh? Absolutely. 725 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 4: That's the example of a public private partnership. You take 726 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 4: two entities, the state in trying to house people and 727 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 4: then the private in terms of people who build these, 728 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 4: combine them and it actually works. And I think Ryan, 729 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 4: that's what they now see for UK athletics. Let's take 730 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 4: the athletic people, let's have a business focus for this 731 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 4: new era, and let's combine it. Now. Will there be problems, 732 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 4: I'm sure they will at some point you'll probably hear 733 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 4: me why about something they do. But as far as 734 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 4: a setup for the future, I actually think it's really 735 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 4: smart and I'm gonna bet you within the next six 736 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 4: months we're gonna see a bunch of other universities copy 737 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,479 Speaker 4: this model. To Mitch Barnhardt and Eli Capeludo's credit, I've 738 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 4: been on those guys for many years for being behind 739 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 4: the times, not being forward thinking. This is the most 740 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 4: forward thinking I've seen. And just and I'll finish with this. 741 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 4: Duke does this, all right, Northwestern does this, Vandy does this. 742 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 4: They were able to do it because they are private schools. 743 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 4: If you go to Duke, Duke Athletics is a private 744 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 4: LLC outside of the university. It's just no public schools 745 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 4: ever done it before. We're just gonna be the first 746 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 4: public school to do you answer a lot of questions 747 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 4: I had. I didn't realize we were like one of 748 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,240 Speaker 4: the first public schools to do it, because. 749 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 5: It seems like we are the first to do it, 750 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 5: So it doesn't it seem like it's what's a platform? 751 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,479 Speaker 5: All the other public schools are gonna try to follow 752 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 5: a mimic and follow now. 753 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 4: I think a lot of public schools didn't want to 754 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 4: do it because they've held themselves under this notion of 755 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 4: our mission is academics. And that's true, but come on, 756 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,439 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty five, when you're raising the revenue these 757 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 4: things are we got to stop acting like this is 758 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 4: not a business. And I think UK is becoming the 759 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 4: first university to recognize this is a business and we 760 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 4: need to run it like a business instead of trying 761 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 4: to fix a business and kind of throw it into it. 762 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 4: Only a university where a lot of the things we 763 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,399 Speaker 4: do for science teachers they don't make sense to do 764 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 4: for athletic department employees. And I think that's where we are. 765 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 6: You know it about Mitch and Eli forever, they've been 766 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 6: reaction guys, I mean slowed in il. It felt like 767 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,919 Speaker 6: Mitch was a hostage there at the beginning, even talking 768 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,919 Speaker 6: about inn Al, I mean he was late to get beer. 769 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 6: He wanted to see it worked everywhere else. He's always 770 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 6: wanted to see how it works in other schools, and 771 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 6: then we'll get to it after taking all in the info. 772 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 6: I was surprised that he was the first to step 773 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 6: out and do this, and I think it's a great 774 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 6: move and a great sign Mitch that he's not gonna 775 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 6: say changing, but he was willing to try something no 776 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 6: one else had done yet without sitting back and waiting 777 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 6: to see. 778 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 4: I spoke with a couple of people I had heard 779 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 4: something was coming. They asked to talk to me right 780 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 4: before it got released, and I sat there and I 781 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 4: put my lawyer hat on it. Okay, I peppered them 782 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 4: with every question I would ask if I was putting 783 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 4: them under oath in a court of law about this, 784 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 4: and to be honest with you. They answered everyone with 785 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 4: things that kind of made sense to me, and I 786 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 4: came away not really seeing the downside. The only downside 787 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 4: to me could be the public release of information. Could 788 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 4: they hide everything? And they said to me, we are 789 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 4: going to release everything just as we would before. If 790 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 4: they do that, then I don't see what the downside. 791 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 4: I really don't because it makes sense to me. 792 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, you answered the other question I had about it. 793 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 5: I thought Mitch Barnet would just be bizarre of all this. 794 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,240 Speaker 4: So Mitch, but the way it works is this board 795 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 4: will make recommendations to Mitch, who still is accountable to 796 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 4: the board of trustees. Gotcha. So it's almost like, hey, 797 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 4: we need to no longer think that Mitch is, like 798 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 4: you know, Mark Zuckerberg running the company himself. He needs 799 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 4: business people to kind of help tell him what to do, 800 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 4: which is smart, which should which to me is actually 801 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 4: pretty smart. Hey, bb in spring is sprung, and that 802 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,919 Speaker 4: means you're getting outside more, whether you're doing yard work 803 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 4: or staying active by biking or riding.

This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back at 811 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 4: Tukey Sports Radio A five nine two eight oh twenty 812 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,959 Speaker 4: two eighty seven on text machine. One person rites to Matt, 813 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 4: is what you talked about just a minute ago in 814 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 4: the change, the same thing as what you were talking 815 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 4: about with Louisville and the private equity. No, because our 816 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 4: problem is not money right now, it's management. What's gonna 817 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 4: happen is the Louisvilles of the world are going to 818 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 4: run out of money here pretty soon because their TV 819 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 4: deals are not as big as the Big ten in 820 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 4: the SEC. So look at the draft last night, twenty 821 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 4: six of the thirty two players picked in the first round, 822 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 4: we're from the SEC or Big ten. Really, twenty six 823 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,720 Speaker 4: of the thirty two there were thirteen from the SEC, 824 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 4: thirteen from the Big Ten, and then the next highest 825 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 4: conference was the ACC with two. So if you're an 826 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 4: ACC or Big twelve team and you want to compete, 827 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,760 Speaker 4: it's gonna be hard. Yeah, And I think that's where 828 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 4: you're gonna start to see some of these organizations looking 829 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 4: for private equity money. 830 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 7: I should do the break be does this start going 831 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:48,280 Speaker 7: to effect immediately? 832 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,240 Speaker 4: Think the board meeting is today and then when they'll 833 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 4: decide today when it goes into effect. But I think 834 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 4: it's gonna go into effect quick. It's crazy. 835 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 6: I just kind of not say out of nowhere, but 836 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 6: I don't think the news was very expected yesterdight, and 837 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 6: it's gonna drop to be such a major change. 838 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 4: I got a text message in the morning said can 839 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 4: you talk at three o'clock? And I did, and then 840 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,879 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, I was like, oh, I didn't 841 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 4: know any of that was happening. So fully changing the 842 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,280 Speaker 4: landscape right there.

So where 849 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 9: they have the draft and other areas with all the stadiums. 850 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 9: So we went to Kansas City, we did Nashville, We've 851 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 9: done Green Bay and I'm a huge Packers fan. But 852 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 9: the actual draft, we didn't sit in the theater. You 853 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 9: could sit in the overflow in Lambou and watch it 854 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 9: on the jumpboats. Okay, so we sat in Lambo, which 855 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 9: is a Packers fan. Was super cool to sit in 856 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 9: Lambo and watched it. There's a lot of stuff that 857 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 9: happens around noon, so there's a lot of businesses and 858 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 9: food and all the things like that. They have like 859 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 9: info play there, like my son got to play like 860 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 9: a flag football game. 861 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 4: Okay, I understand that that stuff makes then yeah, I 862 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 4: can get that. 863 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 9: So so so all the priest stuff is fun.

I could see doing that using it 872 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 4: as a way to go to a city like we 873 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 4: do the NCAA tournament. We go to a city that 874 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 4: we would not otherwise go to, and then you like Milwaukee, 875 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 4: you would not otherwise go to Milwaukee.

You kids can play on lambeau Field or whatever. 881 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 5: You knew some watching on the jumble try. That may 882 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 5: be a better place to watch it than weigh in 883 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 5: the back of that massive crowd. 884 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 4: Uh.
