1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: This is the Bloomberg Business of Sports show, where we 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: explore the big money issues in the world of sports. 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm Michael barn I'm Scarlett. Film coming up today, the 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: NBA Finals, Lebron's Bush to own a team, and where 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: and how wrestling's looking now to cash in on new 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: changes to the n C Double A. First, let's begin 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: with golf and a matchup of rival leagues over the weekend. 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: Last weekend, some big names were suspended from the p 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: g A Tour seven teen to be exact. Dustin Johnson 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: was among that group, as the p g A took 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: a hardline stance on participation in the new Live Golf 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: Investment Breakaway League. I resigned my membership from the tour. 13 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play here, um, you know, for now, and 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: that's that's the plan, um you know. But what the 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: consequences are going to be obviously, I can't comment on 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: how the tour is gonna handle and scarring. We all 17 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: know how the p g A ultimately handled it with 18 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: suspensions all seven team players who did the play in 19 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: the Live Golf Investment Breakaway League. Yeah, none of the 20 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: seventeen PGA Tour members who took part in l V 21 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: golf can be eligible for PGA Tour tournament play. And 22 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: this is really Jamnahan, the commissioner of the PGA Tour, 23 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: throwing down the gauntlet. Um, it's not clear what happens 24 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: to golf now, whether I mean, we keep calling this 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: a rebel league, a breakaway league, but it's an alternative 26 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: at this point, isn't it. Yeah? It is. Uh. And 27 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: this was the first weekend where you had p G 28 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 1: A and the Live Golf tournament going head to head 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: over the weekend. Rory McElroy, he won the RBC Canadian 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: Open Sunday and gave the PGA to a strong response 31 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: to the start of the Saudi funded Golf Invitational Live. 32 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: Uh and it and he took a little swipe at 33 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: Greg Norman. Let's just say because he said, uh, he 34 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: said a one one which feels great is one more 35 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: than somebody else that we know, which is a dig 36 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: at Greg Norman, who is leading the live tournament. Yeah, 37 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: this is creating new storylines, new narratives of players going 38 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: up against one another. It's an US versus them kind 39 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: of set up now. And I just wonder what this 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: means for younger golfers. Who are coming up. They definitely 41 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: have to choose. Every time they are asked this question, 42 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: they're left in this uncomfortable position of choosing between money, 43 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: which is what the live golf tournament UH or a 44 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: live golf league is, versus um what they've always dreamed of, 45 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: which is PJ Golf Tour. Well, the problem here is, 46 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: let's start with this. The p g A is saying, look, 47 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: we have the best of the best, and we have 48 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: new players coming up. UH. You're gonna see these players 49 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: show their talent. And they're talking now about the live 50 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: tournament where you're gonna see almost like exhibition golf, You're 51 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: gonna the same players over and over and over again. 52 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: And it is a point it's like, well, where do 53 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: you see the new uh talent coming in in the 54 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: live golf tournament. It's like the all stars, the best 55 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: of um kind of players from golf in the live 56 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: golf tournament. What about fifty four holes? How does that 57 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: change the game? How does that change the game for viewers? 58 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: Not that anyone can can watch it formally right now 59 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: beyond seeing it on YouTube. I would like to see 60 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: where the ratings were for both tournaments. That's going to 61 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: be interesting to see. Uh, we'll see how that turns out, 62 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: and we'll see how this plays out in the future 63 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: for the live tournament before we talk about the NBA finals. 64 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Scar, I really think that. I know, I 65 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: thought that. I thought the Rangers had a chance, and 66 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: he did. They did for a while, but they couldn't 67 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: hold on. And you know what, they peaked early, so 68 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: they probably weren't even supposed to make the playoffs this season. Um. 69 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: So the fact that they did, and the fact that 70 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: they advanced not through just round one but round two 71 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: and then also in round three played two games and 72 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: and one against the Tampa Bay Lightning gave everyone this 73 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: false sense of hope. Maybe false is putting in a 74 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: little bit too harshly, but it gave everyone this sense 75 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: of hope that something could happen. Um. Now they've got 76 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: the weight of expectations on them for next year. But 77 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: you know, my my thought in all of this, and 78 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: tell me what you think, Michael Barr best of seven 79 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: series is just too exhausting for a sport like hockey 80 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: where you're playing every other day. The Rangers played twenty 81 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: playoff games in forty days. People were playing injured people 82 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: are playing on broken ankles? Is that a good thing 83 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: for for that to be that much hockey? I mean, 84 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: I know it makes a lot of money for the arenas, 85 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: it makes a lot of money for the league for 86 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: the owners. But with four rounds of playoffs, that's a 87 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: minimum of sixteen games, a maximum of games. It's pretty punishing, 88 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: it is. I was thinking about that because you brought 89 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: that up. Uh. It's kind of hockey outside of football, 90 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: is probably one of the most physical sports that are 91 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: out there in terms of hard hitting, and it's almost like, well, 92 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: what have you played the best of seven in a 93 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: Super Bowl series? Is? Yeah? I mean I was thinking 94 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: about that. It's like, you know, it really is tough 95 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: on the players, uh, in the NHL, And you've got 96 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: a good point. I wonder if they should cut it 97 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: back to like the best of five or or something, right, right, right, 98 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this, especially after the toll of 99 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: a regular season that has eight two games. It's one 100 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: thing for the MLB to have best of seven series, right, 101 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: I mean, baseball is not as physically taxing as the 102 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: NFL or the NHL, but to have the best of 103 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: seven series four rounds of playoffs, um, a game every 104 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: other day. No one's going to come out of there 105 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: without major injuries. Major injuries that will persist as well. 106 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: I mean, there are all kinds of stories of hockey players, 107 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: and I know they take some pride in this where 108 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: they played on a broken ankle for the entire playoff series, 109 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: but that is not good for their livelihoods as uh 110 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: as hockey players for more than a couple of seasons. 111 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: Let's move on now, NBA Finals, here we go. It 112 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: is Game five tonight, Game four, he scored forty three points. 113 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: Forty three points. I want to say it one more time, 114 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 1: just in case you under a tunnel and you couldn't 115 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: hearty three points. That is very hard to defend. And 116 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: then listen, and I'm not knocking Jayson Tatum at all. 117 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: Is he said in himself, I've got to play better. 118 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: And you know we're talking now the best of the 119 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: best and now down to the best of three. I mean, 120 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 1: this is something and good for Boston, good for the Warriors. 121 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: And I say good for Boston because anywhere around the 122 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: t D Garden, those restaurants scar are just lightning up money. 123 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: Yes they are, um and they want us to go 124 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: to game seven. I don't know stuff he wants this 125 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: to go to game seven, especially when he has kind 126 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: of a bad ankle right now and he was howling 127 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: in pain at the end of game three. But he 128 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: is something else. I mean, this is leadership. This is 129 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 1: the captain stepping up right. Um. He is the difference 130 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: maker in this game in a way that perhaps people 131 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: might not have anticipated. When the playoffs began. I guess 132 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: there were some whispers that perhaps he had, you know, 133 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: he had gone past his peak. Maybe we weren't seeing 134 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: the best of Steph Curry anymore. But I mean the 135 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: last couple of games have really proved that is not 136 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: the case. And you're laughing at me, No, I'm laughing 137 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: at the people that were saying that. That is just incredible. 138 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: We're going to see how this plays out. I would 139 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: also hopefully the ratings will pick up better for the NBA. Uh. 140 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: It was kind of you know, you know, it was 141 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: kind of meant the first two games. Yeah, yeah, it's 142 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: it's speaking of a guy who is the NBA but 143 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: Ron James, and we know that he wanted to own 144 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: his own NBA team. Now we know where he wants 145 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: to own the team. He wants to own it in 146 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. G I wonder why Scar. I know, it's 147 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: pretty incredible. I mean, he's been saying for a while 148 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: that he wants to be an NBA team owner, and 149 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: this is in addition to his being a part owner 150 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: of the Liverpool Football Club and the Boston Red Sox. 151 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: He has plenty of money to put to this goal. 152 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: He hasn't net worth of at least a billion dollars. 153 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: But I guess the question is the NBA, first of all, 154 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: needs to expand to Vegas, and that is not the 155 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: case there. There isn't any plan afoot right now for that. 156 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: Adam Silver, the commissioner of the NBA, did say Vegas 157 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: is a great sports market and there's been talk that 158 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: the NBA could add two teams to more teams in 159 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: the near future, but at the moment, there's no current 160 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: plans for expansion beyond the thirty teams that make up 161 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: the NBA. So, uh, there is that part of it. 162 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: But we know that Lebron James. In terms of timing, 163 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: Bar wants to play his final season or at least 164 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: one year with his son, who is not even in 165 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: the league's yet. In the Pro League yet you know 166 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: what's funny is that you're right by Forbes. He's valued 167 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: north of a billion dollars, just the north I'd like 168 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: to have in my bank acount. Forget the billion. I'll 169 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: take the north and I'll be happy, and then I 170 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: can retire somewhere. The man's worth a lot of money. 171 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: He knows how to invest very well. Uh. Good for him. UH, 172 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: and I want to see which ways he is going 173 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: to do it. Uh. But according to UH, the NBA 174 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: Commissioner Adam Silver, he said, there have been no discussions 175 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: yet at this time, but I have the feeling somewhere 176 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: down the road scar as he's winding up his career, 177 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: that Mr James is going to have a talk with 178 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: Mr Silver. Well that and you do have financiers who 179 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: already moving on the possibility that maybe one day there 180 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: will be an NBA team in Vegas. UH. Oak View 181 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: Group in late February closed a deal on sixty six 182 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: acres of land in Vegas, and they also said they 183 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: planned to build and run an arena there that could 184 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: one day draw an NBA team. So there, it's not 185 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: like anything formal has been extended. It's just that they're 186 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: going to build it and maybe the NBA will come. 187 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: I guess is the idea. UM. The current target day 188 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: to open this arena is so sooner than you think. Finally, 189 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: let's talk about the World Wrestling Entertainment w w E, 190 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: and oh my goodness, they are talking now about signing 191 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: NC Double A wrestlers pro football players to the recruiting 192 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: program that they have going. I was wondering when another 193 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: big sports entity was going to cash in on the 194 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: n C Double A changes scare. Yeah, it's a w 195 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: w E which has been very creative with its marketing. 196 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: They're building a talent pipeline from the n C Double 197 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: A and their bag, basically allowing athletes to train at 198 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: their development facility in Orlando. And these athletes, these college 199 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: athletes will then be able to appear at w w 200 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: E events and promote the brand on social media. Some 201 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: will get contracts after they graduate as well. UM and 202 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: a couple who have ended their time with this program 203 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: that's already been taking place have either signed full time 204 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: deals with the w w E or they could always 205 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, talk whole talks and and potentially join the organization. 206 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: It's a really interesting UM move to to grab onto 207 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: these college athletes before they make their next move to 208 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: to kind of get them while they're still impressionable. Maybe 209 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: it's the right word. Well, what I wonder is, okay, 210 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: if you if you're the w w E and you're 211 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: a college athlete, and then the w w E is saying, hey, 212 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: come on over here, make some money over here for 213 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: a little bit, and all of a sudden you realize 214 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: I can make a fist full of dollars doing this. 215 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, do you give up the basketball career? 216 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: Do you give up the football career? What happens, Well, 217 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: you don't have much of a path with the w 218 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: w E if you don't have that sport to begin with, right, 219 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: so you kind of have to do it in parallel 220 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: and thinking yeah, it's gonna be well, what are you marketing? 221 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: What are you marketing? If you don't, If you are 222 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: a former college athlete, but you don't, you're not moving 223 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: on to doing anything. Well, I guess the marketing would 224 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: come in. You've done all your stuff on a football 225 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: field or the basketball accord if you are a college 226 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: sports fan, so you've seen this person exposed and I'm 227 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: wondering if that's enough to move into. I don't know, 228 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: that's a very yeah. I mean maybe for the first 229 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: six months, but then after that, like in a year 230 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: or two, there will be new college athletes that everyone's 231 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: excited about.
