It's our two on this Tuesday, Dan and 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: the Dan n Stan Patrick Show. Glad to have you 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: on board. Got a pull question, got another stat of 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: the day here coming up, and we'll play a new 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: exciting game. Can you name that stadium? The Commissioner of 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: the NFL would like for the Buffalo Bills to get 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: a new stadium. I don't know if Buffalo would like 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills to get a new stadium. PAULI said, 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: do you know the names of some of these stadiums? 11 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: And I'm probably gonna be in the minority as far 12 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: as how many I know, but we'll have that for 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: you coming up A seven seven three D P show 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: Email address DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle 15 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: at DP show. I mentioned some college football items yesterday 16 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: where I was talking about the alliance that's going to 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: be formed with the PAC twelve, the Big Ten, and 18 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: the ACC and what they're going to try to do 19 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: is block any possible expansion talk into twenty twenty six 20 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: because the ESPN owns the SEC and uh, you know, 21 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: they they want to get other bidders in there. They 22 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: want more money in there. Um, you know other networks 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: that might be bidding on this. There's a lot of 24 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: things that are going on right now because it's it's 25 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: fluid in what's happening with the PAC twelve, the Big Ten, 26 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: the ACC. And I was wondering and I had a 27 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: source last night we talked about this, and I said, 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: if if you're the Big Ten, why don't you just 29 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: reach out to USC, Oregon, Stanford, Like, maybe get a 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: couple of schools where you don't have to take the 31 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: entire PAC twelve. You know you're not going to get 32 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: those schools. Clemson can't leave the ACC, but you know, 33 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: can you attract Notre Dame and you could get USC, 34 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: you could get Oregon, Stanford and as just a possibility 35 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: here sort of do what what the SEC is doing 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: bringing in Oaklhoman, Texas. And my source said that he 37 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: thinks the Big Ten explored that of bringing in USC. 38 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: You know, you want to have that foothold, that imprint 39 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: in California, Texas and Florida. Those are the big things 40 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: that you want to be able to do. But as 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: far as hey, you know, you're in the Midwest and 42 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: we're out here. Nobody cares about location anymore like this 43 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: is just about can you get from point A to 44 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: point B, you know, next weekend and you build up 45 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: new rivalries here. But I think that this alliance is 46 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: going to happen. I also mentioned one thing about, you know, 47 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve, that Kansas would be attractive just because 48 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: of basketball. We did have some people tweeting saying, well, 49 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: what about Baylor? And I reached out to my source 50 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: this morning and I said, is Baylor attractive? And I 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: was told not a big fan base there, and Baylor 52 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: has had issues, you know, obviously a nice run, but 53 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: that Baylor is not an attractive school for the Big Ten, 54 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: acc or the Pac twelve. So that, once again, it's 55 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: not my opinion on that. That was just a source 56 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: that said Baylor is not attractive. Kansas would be just 57 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: for their basketball there football last night, I guess we've 58 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: solved the quarterback controversy with the Saints, right. Jameis Winston 59 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: looked awesome last night. It certainly feels like that. You'll 60 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: get people who will tell you don't overreact in the preseason, 61 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: and what do we do today? We overreact in the preseason. 62 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston is only twenty seven he's the number one 63 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: overall pick, like he should be good. But this is 64 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: a win against the Jags in August. Here, when a 65 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: team is bad enough to have the number one overall pick, 66 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: typically we don't put expectations on them the following season. 67 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: But we're doing that to Jacksonville because Trevor Lawrence once 68 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: in a lifetime. Once he's a generational talent, Urban Meyer, 69 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: one of the great college coaches of all time. Okay, 70 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: so I shouldn't have expectations. It's not fair to have expectations. 71 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: But then why not Urban great coach, Trevor Lawrence generational talent. Well, 72 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: it's going to take more than those two to make 73 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: Jacksonville competitive. And you saw that last night. Offensive line struggled. 74 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: Trevor looked rattled at times, and I couldn't help. But notice, 75 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: I mean the camera was on Urban Meyer and he 76 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: looked intense. I mean, four or five wins would probably 77 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 1: be a good season. Here, How's Urban going to handle 78 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: thirteen losses in a year he won over eighty five 79 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: percent of his games in college. We mentioned that Trevor 80 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: Lawrence has lost a total of four games in his 81 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: entire career high school and college. Now We've seen other 82 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: coaches get into situations like this and they lack patients. 83 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: Steve Spurrier famously lacked patients. Nick Saban when he tried 84 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: the NFL. The Jags will be interesting, but it could 85 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: be an interesting way that you drive by a car wreck, 86 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: like you just you look over and it's interesting what's 87 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: going on here. They might lose a lot of games, 88 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: but I think it's how they handle those losses that 89 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: will probably be beneficial or maybe not beneficial later on 90 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: in years two, three, and four, because you build up 91 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: bad habits. You know, Sam Darnold was at USC, they 92 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: didn't lose too many games. Then he gets to the 93 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: Jets and all of a sudden, he's like, I had 94 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: a better team at USC, had bad habits. Now he's 95 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: trying to reclaim Jameis Winston tried to do a lot 96 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: of things. Now he's the reclamation project here. We're shall Peyton. 97 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: That's what happens at that position. But the coaches, I mean, 98 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: they wear those losses. You know, players, it feels like 99 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: they can shed it a little bit easier, but coaches 100 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: camp you can see those losses on those faces. Yeah, Todd, 101 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: and if you were an intimidating coach that yelled a 102 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: lot in college with these young kids, How does that 103 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,119 Speaker 1: translate exactly to older players and veterans in the National 104 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: Football League When Urban Meyers just getting super frustrated at 105 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: given moment, Well, I don't know if he's yelling at 106 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: people like he's more of an intense I'm staring at you. 107 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't need to say anything, but I mean, I 108 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: don't know that Urban Meyer is one of those yellers 109 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: and screamers. I mean, I didn't realize that. Like Mike Shuzhevsky, 110 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: I went to one of his practices and I was surprised, 111 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: Like wow, that one surprised me, Like you see him 112 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: kind of trying to contain himself on the sidelines, but 113 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: seeing him in practice, and I was like, wow, seeing 114 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: different side of coach. I don't know what Urban Myers 115 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: like in practice. I've never attended one of their practices, 116 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: but could you could see this? You can see that 117 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: on his face and there these are preseason. He didn't 118 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: have preseason games in college you have scrimmages. I mean 119 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: these are this is just preseason. We're told to not overreact, 120 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: but with a coach, you do. You do overreact, and 121 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: you certainly saw that with Urban Meyers. And they don't 122 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: look like they're any better than they were last year. 123 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: And you know these things. I don't expect them to 124 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: be competitive, but you do expect them to have those 125 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: building blocks where you go, Okay, all right, I like 126 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: what I see here, like this is what this year 127 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: should be all about. I like what I see. I'm 128 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: not expecting them to win ten games, nine games, eight games. 129 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: If they win six or seven games, that's probably going 130 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: to be a good season for them. Right now, with 131 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz coming back, the Colts are going to be good. 132 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: The Titans are going to be good. We know the 133 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: Texans aren't going to be any good. So that's that's 134 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: the division that you're in. Yeah, pay Four years ago, 135 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: the twenty seventeen Jags were ten and six, and they 136 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: had they beat the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs and 137 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 1: beat the Steelers in the playoffs two. They barely lost 138 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: to the Patriots twenty four twenty. They remember there are 139 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: a couple of plays away, yeah at Miles Jack play 140 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: and yeah, and then they just went downhill, yeah fast. 141 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston was nine of ten one hund twenty three 142 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns, this in the first quarter. Here is 143 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: Sean Payton on who was starting quarterback. Is when we 144 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: know what direction we're going, we'll let you guys know, 145 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: and we're not going to try to anticipate saying, hey, 146 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: it's going to be midweek or next week. Yeah. I mean, 147 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 1: that's I think the best way for us to handle it. 148 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: And it's kind of how we've always handled something like this. 149 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: But I was pleased with not just the quarterbacks. I 150 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: was pleased with how we played as a team for 151 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: them at Sean Payton. Here's Trevor Lawrence on his play 152 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: last night. From an individual perspective, I just gotta get 153 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: a little bit better at getting the ball out, taking completions, um, 154 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: staying out of second and long and third and long. 155 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: It makes it really hard for coach Bev and as 156 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: an offense, it's just hard to convert all those third 157 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: and long. So that's that's part on me to stay 158 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: ahead of the chains. And then just the whole offense, 159 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: we've got to click a little bit more. Still got 160 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: some work to do, Yeah, they do. And he's got 161 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: Darryl Bevill, who's an experienced guy. There you have to 162 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,479 Speaker 1: have that quarterback whisper. It's it's essential for these young quarterbacks. 163 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: And you have that with some of these quarterbacks, you know, 164 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: probably more so with Trey Lance, with Kyle Shanahan. Zack 165 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: Wilson has Michae Lafleur, Matt Lafleur's brother, who's considered to 166 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: be a very bright, offensive minded guy. Mac Jones has 167 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, certainly experienced, and a quarterback that wants to 168 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: be Tom Brady. Now you have his offensive coordinator to 169 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: help you. And that's another one where the situation is 170 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: interesting from this standpoint. Do I think mac Jones starts No. 171 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: Do I think that he's at least opened Bill Belichick's 172 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: eyes to playing him. Yes, And I never thought that 173 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: that would happen, that Bill would play a rookie quarterback. 174 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: But part of this is Cam Newton can keep the job, 175 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: but he can also lose the job. It's not where 176 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: mac Jones is going to go or be pressing him 177 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: as much as Cam Newton will lose the job. He 178 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: just won't play well, or if they're he's not healthy. 179 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: But if he does play well, then he keeps the job. 180 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: I think it's that simple it's not a quarterback controversy. 181 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: But I also wonder what happens if mac Jones assumes 182 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: the starting role. Do you keep Cam Newton as a 183 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: backup quarterback? Not next year, but the rest of this year? 184 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: Like that, there's a curiosity I have with Cam. I 185 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: hope he plays well because he's fun to watch, He's different, 186 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: But it feels like he knows this is borrowed time. 187 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: He might be playing for his next job. I mean, 188 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: he might be auditioning for next year someplace else. A 189 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: couple of phone calls in here, we'll talk some college 190 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: football coming up.

Talks in college 269 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: football ESPN dot Com Senior writer, ESPN Insider National College 270 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: Football Reporter Heather Dnich is a senior writer for ESPN 271 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: covering college football and coverage of the twenty twenty one 272 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: college football season kicks off this Saturday. It'll be Hawaii 273 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: at UCLA. Well, that's snuck up on me. I was wondering, 274 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: there's always that game in late August, and I guess 275 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: this is the one. Hawaii at UCLA. Heather kind enough 276 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: to join us. Heather, thanks for joining us. Explain what 277 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: this alliance is, So it's kind of tricky to explain, 278 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: but the best way I can describe it is the ACC, 279 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: Big ten and Packed twelve at some point are going 280 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: to add a scheduling component to the way they're holding hands. Right, 281 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: And there were no explicit conversations saying we're not going 282 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: to poach each other's teams. But this is a response 283 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: to the shifting landscape in college athletics. It's not necessarily 284 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: a direct response to the SEC becoming the first sixteen 285 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: team super conference. But it's really an alliance between you'll 286 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: continue to hear the phrase like minded institutions, right. There 287 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: are research universities in those three leagues that are some 288 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: of the most highly regarded, and this is a partnership saying, hey, 289 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: let's share our resources and at some point become stronger 290 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: in college football by figuring out how to work our 291 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: schedules together. But I'm trying to understand that at what 292 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: point you have built in rivalries with these conferences out 293 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: of conferences, well, how do you truly kind of engage 294 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: these other conferences? So it is these three conferences combining 295 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: as one because we like, the SEC is not bringing 296 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: in the Big twelve, they just bring in a couple 297 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: of teams. That's what I'm curious about of how this 298 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: is really the inner workings of trying to actually have 299 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: a schedule that is conducive to having this alliance, right, 300 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: And they don't know the answer to that yet. They 301 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: have not taken a deep dive on those conversations. And 302 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 1: part of the reason for that is the PAC twelve 303 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: still plays a nine game conference schedule, so does the 304 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: Big ten. Right, The ACC is at an eight game 305 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: conference schedule. To the point you make, because they have 306 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: those built in ACC SEC rivalries, You're not going to 307 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: lose comes in South Carolina George and Georgia Tech Petra 308 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: for the sake of this agreement. So what happens. And 309 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: one of the other questions too is, look, if you 310 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: fans really want to see Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin 311 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: play those big games, right, We're not necessarily talking about 312 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: an excitement over a partnership to see Luike Forrest and 313 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: Cal kick off at ten pm, right. So a question 314 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: that they have to answer is, well, okay, if Ohio State, 315 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: Penn State, Wisconsin. Those brand names schooled USC are the 316 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: ones bringing in the revenue. How do they share that 317 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: with the rest of the lead. You know, those are 318 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: a lot of questions that they haven't gotten into yet, 319 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: but that they will certainly asked themselves. Why doesn't the 320 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: Big ten just reach out to USC, Oregon, Stanford and 321 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: just say come on in, like, we don't need to 322 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: take Oregon State or Washington State, just kind of pick 323 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: what like the SEC is doing. That's a fair question, 324 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: Kevin Barren is, and we've got to remember that we're 325 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: talking about three new commissioners who are dealing with this. 326 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: Kevin Barren was high January twenty twenty, George Klovkop in 327 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: the Pack twelve came in about five minutes ago in July, 328 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: and Jim Phelips in the ACC is a new hire 329 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: as well. They are navigating this as extremely smart people 330 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 1: and businessmen, but complete rookies when it comes to the 331 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: landscape of college football. That's just a reality. And to 332 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: your point, it wouldn't surprise me if Kevin Moren and 333 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: George did have those conversations. And I think a big 334 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 1: reason why the PAC twelve is, at least according to 335 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: sources driving the push for this alliance is to keep 336 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: USC happy, keep them from going anywhere, right, and so 337 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: where would they go? I don't know. Everybody wants to 338 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: go to the SEC. You know who knows. But I 339 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: can tell you that sources have said that the push 340 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: is coming from the Pac twelve to get this done, 341 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 1: and part of that is because the TV contract expires 342 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: and to keep everybody happy and in place. Also, I 343 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: was told that Jim Delaney, the former Big Ten commissioner, 344 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,479 Speaker 1: he's the one that is behind the scenes here. And 345 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: when Jim Delaney gets involved, that's when things get done. 346 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: And you mentioned that you have rookie commissioners here. Jim 347 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: Delaney is going to lead the charge here. I'm wondering 348 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: who gets left out? You know, with the Big twelve, 349 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: what does the Big twelve become so shameless self promotion here. 350 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: I have spent all day of reporting what exactly those 351 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: eight schools are doing, and I'll have that piece on 352 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: ESPN dot com tomorrow. But the bottom line is this. 353 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: I mean, they're walking a tight rope between preserving the 354 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: Big Twelve and self preservation and there is a sense 355 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: of betrayal again because they weren't included in these conversations 356 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: with the Big ten, PAC twelve and ACC and the reason, 357 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: one surmised to me is because they'd already been post 358 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: So there is a hope that this alliance won't prevent 359 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: the PAC twelve from saying, hey, come on over here, 360 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: some left over Big twelve school. But plan A for 361 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: them would be to stay together and try to make 362 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: themselves whole so that they could get another lucrative TV contract. 363 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: But the reality of that is that slim because they're 364 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: not going to get any teams right now from any 365 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: of those other four power conferences, So you're looking at 366 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: maybe the American Athletic Conference or the Mountain West And 367 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: does that give them the value they need to be 368 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: a truly vibrant Big twelve again. I reported this yesterday 369 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: that the Alliance will probably try to push off the 370 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: expansion because they want to get other TV networks involved 371 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: in this, not just let ESPN dictate this since ESPN 372 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: is in business with the SEC as well, that maybe 373 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty six before you have this. How does 374 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: the fan benefit in all of this, Heather, when you're 375 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: talking about expansion, are you talking about playoffs? Expansion. Yeah, yeah, 376 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: so you know, ultimately, I believe the college football Playoff 377 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: is going to expand it in late September, and I 378 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: think that this could delay it. I don't want to 379 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: think it's going to derail it. Right this skinny minute, 380 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: the college football fan gets nothing out of any of 381 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: this worst status quo heading into that Hawaii game that 382 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: you just spoke about. In the long run, I think 383 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: the college football fan benefits this from Ay, there's going 384 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: to be more inclusion in the college football Playoff. Whether 385 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: it's eight, ten, twelve, whatever they wind up settling on, 386 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: there's going to be more inclusion. I think that's what 387 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: fans want to see. And two, I think you're going 388 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: to see better football games. There is a scheduling push. 389 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: I mean, regardless of whether or not you get automatic 390 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: qualifiers and conference champions are in, there's still a selection 391 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: committee component to this. People want to see good football games, 392 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: and I think eventually we're going to see more of 393 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: that and more inclusion in the college Football Playoff. But 394 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: today it means not a and I've been talking about 395 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: this for years, where college football is eventually going to 396 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: adopt the NFL model. I'm also wondering about the premier league. 397 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: Why not have a secondary conference where you can be 398 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, schools get relegated like that, you have really 399 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: important games at the end of the year. So if 400 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: you're IOWA stayed and you're kept out of this, you 401 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: can move up and then you get a chance to play. 402 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: It would add even more interest, drama, tension to it 403 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: because it feels like we're gonna eventually narrow this down 404 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: hither to forty schools thirty five schools, and those are 405 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: going to be the ones that are going to get 406 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: the money and you know, play for championships. Players are 407 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: probably going to get paid at some point down the line. 408 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: Like I think we're they're going to adopt the NFL model, 409 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: but I'd love to have them adopt the relegation. I 410 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: think that would be great. What do you think? So 411 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: what you're talking about is all of this that happened 412 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: this summer, which is snowballing into the NCAA constitutional convention 413 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 1: that's going to happen, which is a complete restructuring of 414 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: the nc double A. How do you do that? And 415 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: that goes in line with exactly what you're talking about, 416 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: because the Night Commission, which is like the brains of 417 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: college sports. It's agreeing with you and saying, let's make 418 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: college football a separate thing because the reality is it's 419 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: its own thing, right, and there's the haves and have nots, 420 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: And as we talk about this, that gap gets wider 421 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: and wider. I have spoken to university presidents, the university 422 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: presidents who have said, yeah, you know, an NFL light 423 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: model is possible. Nobody knows what it's going to happen 424 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: and what this will look like. But this sixteen team 425 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: SEC super conference, like, that's real. What does it mean? 426 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: And I think time will tell, but I think there's 427 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: certainly a point that the nc double A and Supreme 428 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: Court and NAVE image and likeness. You can't rule this 429 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: step out because it's real and it's happening. But it 430 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: goes to the restructuring and the governance of the NCUBLEA 431 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: and what that books like that leaves us with Notre Dame. Heather, 432 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: what does Notre Dame do winnor winner Chicken dinner? Many 433 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: they are saying, right, no matter what you know, if 434 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: I'm Jack Swarbrick, the athletic director at Notre Dame, I 435 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,959 Speaker 1: am clinging to my independence because as all of this 436 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: moves on around, you know they've they've got it great 437 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: and if the playoff expands to twelve teams, they're in 438 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: it more often than not. So I think that they're 439 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: in a great spot. I think, you know, maybe part 440 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: of this alliance that we were talking about with the 441 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: ACC is what can they do to beef themselves up 442 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: to try to entice Notre Dame to join them full time? 443 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: Because you know, they got this flirty little thing, or 444 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: they play a couple of games, what can they do 445 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: to really beef it up? They miss the boat, I'm 446 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: trying to add Texas. So is there anything else? Does 447 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: this alliance help? Maybe? But I think Notre Dame might 448 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: be in one of the great spots and people love 449 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 1: to hate it and they're probably going to continue to 450 00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: do that. Does the SEC go after anybody else? You know? 451 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: I can tell you that a source at the presidential 452 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: level in the SEC told me that we are not 453 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: sitting here rubbing our hands together saying who else can 454 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: we add? But if people call us, we would be 455 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: fools not to listen. Oh okay, all right, so we're 456 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: not poaching, but if they want to be poached, then 457 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: we're open for a business, all right, I do. It's 458 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: important to remember in the ACC their grants of rights, 459 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: which again is another thing that guy goes back to, 460 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: this alliance goes. I think their TV deal is through 461 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: twenty thirty five. So if you're Florida State or Clemson 462 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: and you want to leave the ACC right now, you 463 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: probably have to pay about five hundred million dollars, which 464 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: is insane. That's not to say that it can't change 465 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: or be pushed or fought in a couple of years. 466 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. We you know, 467 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: who knows. I'm sitting here in the state of Maryland, 468 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: which used to be an ACC school. It's now a 469 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: great ten school. So they left, they got their exit 470 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: feed lowered. Who knows. But there's a lot of other 471 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: things that have to happen for other teams to leave 472 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: their own leagues. Heather, great stuff, and thanks for joining us. 473 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: We appreciate your time, my pleasure. Thank you so much 474 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: for having me on. Heather Dennis is a senior writer 475 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: for ESPN dot com. College football kicks off this weekend 476 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: Hawaii at UCLA. Let's go. I love it. I love it. 477 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: The line Yeah, I don't know what would the line 478 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: be with my UCLA Bruins checking all right, h yeah. 479 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: I just wonder about Notre Dame And I said this 480 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: to you yesterday if you were listening, that Notre Dame 481 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: is not going to do anything right now, probably not 482 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: for a couple of years because they're in a great position. 483 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: They have their own TV network. It almost feels like 484 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: it makes them even more valuable, and the question is 485 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: going to be can they continue to have these rivalry games? 486 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: Will they? Will they still be able to have these 487 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: games that are built in that you're going to play 488 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: them every year? Because if you have this alliance, do 489 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: those commissioners say, look, the games you play have to 490 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: be in the alliance. I mean I would do that 491 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: because I want to strengthen my alliance here. But if 492 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm the SEC, why wouldn't you just go, let's call USC, 493 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: Let's just see they be interested, because you don't want 494 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: to be just you know, located where the SEC is. 495 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: You You if you're gonna take over the sport, then 496 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: take over the sport, and you don't partially take over 497 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: the sport. I'd go I'd just say, look, you guys interested? 498 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: Not one of those, Uh, we're gonna wait for them 499 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: to call us. Now, do you really think that Oklahoma 500 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: and Texas go, hey, we don't like each other. Let's 501 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: let's give the SEC Greg Sanky, the Commissioner a call. No, 502 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: they probably went, how are you guys feeling about the 503 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: Big Twelve? Are you guys interested? Oh? You are? Okay? Great? 504 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: All right, Well we're open for business. Yeah, McLevin, I 505 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: don't know. If I'm USC and I get that call 506 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: from the SEC and I look at the competition, I 507 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: might be like, yeah, we're good. I mean the fear 508 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: they get killed, well it could. But if i'm the SEC, 509 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm now I'm in California, I get the SEC. But yeah, 510 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: I'd be nervous to join the SEC. For some of 511 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: these schools, it goes back to you want to be 512 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: in A source said, you want to be in California, 513 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: you want to be in Texas, you want to be 514 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: in Florida. And if you're in the SEC, you're in Florida, 515 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: you're in Texas. Now you're in California. Yes, but that's 516 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: a good point by McLevin. Is it worth the prestige 517 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: of being part of the SEC if you're going to 518 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: just have a crummy record for possibly a number of 519 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: years to come and be the bottom of the barrel. 520 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: But hey, we're in the SEC. Well ask Bandy in Kentucky. 521 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: And that's why, you know, Clemson, I would never want 522 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: to leave the ACC. I'm plugging in nine ten wins 523 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: every year. I got nothing to worry about here. Yeah, 524 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: MC Yeah, we had that very same discussion last night. 525 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 1: Like Cleveson has got a perfect but USC if they 526 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: amped it up a little, couldn't they compete in the SEC. 527 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: I don't get that program exactly. It feels like, well, 528 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:23,239 Speaker 1: in previous regimes they could have absolutely but you know, 529 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: you don't have Reggie Bush and Matt Leiner walking through 530 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: that door anymore. Yeah. There are five Division one games 531 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: on Saturday. It's very saucy Southern Utah, San Jose State, Ute, 532 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: New Mexico State, Hawai, Ucla, Ukon Fresno State, and there's 533 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: a noon local Big ten game. Can you guess one 534 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: of the teams from Maryland? It's not the usual. It's 535 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: usually Maryland versus Rutgers. Oh well, Indiana too, they get 536 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: a lot of new not anymore Indiana. GA moved down 537 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: the dial to three o'clock games because they're good. Now, Wisconsin, 538 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: Wisconsin is usually too good to play you that m 539 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: This is a slap in the face to Nebraska football. 540 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: Nebraska at Illinois. Oh, it's pure noon game. Oh god, 541 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,959 Speaker 1: the Brassa giving seven if you that's tough. That's a 542 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: tough one, and Nebrassa gotta win that one, you know what. Oh? Hey, 543 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: you played yesterday? Yeah yeah.

We 576 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: have to decide. Then we have to decide by the 577 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: end of the year. Is it brother in laws or 578 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: brothers in law. I'm gonna say halls of fame. You're 579 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: in multiple halls of fame. Yeah, you can just call 580 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: me Halff. But there already is a half. I know 581 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: he's big in Germany.

I don't have any information I 616 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: don't have any sources on it, but I thought, if 617 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,959 Speaker 1: I'm the SEC, why not reach out to USC? Why 618 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: not reach out to Stanford? Why not reach out to Oregon? 619 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: And maybe they have. But let's say you you created 620 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: in SEC East in an SEC West. Now follow me 621 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: on this. Let's say you had schools like USC. You 622 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:15,919 Speaker 1: would have UCLA, Stanford, cal Washington, Washington State, Arizona State, Arizona, 623 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: and then you put Texas and Oklahoma in there with 624 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: those schools. Now I own all of those states. Now 625 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 1: the SEC is on the west coast, like your expansion 626 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: is really powerful. SEC West wouldn't be those eight schools 627 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,720 Speaker 1: plus Texas, Oklahoma and then whatever two schools are most 628 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: west of whatever the Mississippi that are currently the SEC schools, 629 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 1: because it's not like you go, oh, the SEC wouldn't 630 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: do that, Oh they're waiting for schools to call them. 631 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: If I'm the SEC and I'm going to take over 632 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: college football, you don't do it sort of half ass 633 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: go after it. I would be reaching out and saying, 634 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 1: all right, what's that due to your alliance? Now big ten, 635 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 1: PAC twelve ACC. Now the SEC might go, well, we 636 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: don't want to ruin college football. Okay, maybe you don't, 637 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: but you're just reorganizing, is what you're doing. We're not 638 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 1: ruining it or reorganizing it. To me, that would make 639 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 1: a lot of sense if I'm the SEC and now 640 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: I've expanded my brand, as we like to say, and 641 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: we're all the way on the West coast and we 642 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: brought in these schools. To me, I'd certainly entertain that idea, 643 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: because I wouldn't just sit here and go, you know, 644 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: let's wait for Clemson and maybe Florida State, and we're 645 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: gonna let the Big Ten and the Pac twelve and 646 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: the ACC, you know, let them do what they want 647 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: to do here, or we're gonna wait for Notre Dame. 648 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: Like somebody's going to do something here. And we were 649 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: surprised with Texas and Oklahoma, we shouldn't be surprised at 650 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: anything else that happens. By the way, two years ago, 651 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: it was August twenty fourth of twenty nineteen, nine thirty 652 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: at night. Adam Schefter was at a wedding and he 653 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: tweeted the following Andrew Luck has informed the Colts he's 654 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: retiring from the NFL. There will be a press conference 655 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: Sunday to make it official, but Luck is mentally worn 656 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: down and now checking out. The Colts were playing a 657 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: home preseason game. Andrew Luck was on the sidelines, and 658 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, people are looking at their phones 659 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: and then they boo some boo Andrew Luck as he's 660 00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: walking off the field, and there's a bogus Adam Schefter account. 661 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: And I think Paulie and mclovin were like, are you 662 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: sure this is true? And then we realized that it 663 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 1: was true that Andrew Luck was walking away from the game. 664 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: Two years later, it's still shocking because nobody's talked to him. 665 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: I think he's still living in Indianapolis. He doesn't do 666 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: any interviews, hasn't said anything. The closest we got when 667 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: we talked to his father Oliver, and said, how's he doing? 668 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: Doing great? Jim Murs say, the owner of the Colts, 669 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: when he was with us a couple of weeks ago, 670 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: I said once, last time he talked to Andrew Luck, 671 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: he said maybe a year. I mean that's it. Before 672 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: Carson wentz, I think people thought, okay, maybe, like he 673 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: was Trevor Lawrence, if you want to comparison, he was 674 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: a sure thing. And I said at the time when 675 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 1: he was getting beat up that you can't survive. They 676 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 1: didn't invest in their offensive line, and he took the 677 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 1: brunt of that, and he had these injuries and it 678 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: eventually it forced him into retirement. That's why you have 679 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: to protect these quarterbacks. And it sounds so basic, but 680 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: the Colts did not. You invest one hundred million dollars 681 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: in your quarterback and you invest fifty cents into your 682 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:38,359 Speaker 1: offensive line, It just doesn't make any sense. I got 683 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: a beautiful looking car, but I got a Chevy Cavalier, 684 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: you know, engine in there. Just doesn't make sense. It's 685 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,720 Speaker 1: a shame because then they did have a good offensive line, 686 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 1: but he was just mentally worn down because of this. Yeah, 687 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,879 Speaker 1: he's only thirty one years old. It's not like it's 688 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: a distant. His last season in the NFL twenty eighteen, 689 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: he was ten and six forty six hundred yards, thirty 690 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, fifteen interceptions. Pro Bowl. Yeah, but the damage 691 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: was done. That's just it. Damage was done. Got to 692 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: protect these guys. You know what you keep saying that 693 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 1: the year before he retired, two years before, he was 694 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: the second most sacked quarterback in the league percentage wise. 695 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 1: His last year in the NFL, he was sacked least 696 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: of any starting NFL quarterback his sack percentage. They actually 697 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: did protect him to Quentin Nelson draft all day, Like 698 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: you said, it was already done.
