40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 6: There's a feeling that you get when you walk into

41
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 6: the stadium like this that you just like it excites you.

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 6: This is Mariles first ever time on the field, on

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,400

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,600

48
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,519

00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 5: Okay?

50
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, all right, Well I hope you're okay. I

51
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 7: got trouble last year. We're talking to Stoops. You got

52
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 7: in trouble.

53
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

54
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 7: He came up, pulled out the chair I was on

55
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 7: the air, said you want to talk, and I said,

56
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 7: of course, but I didn't go through the proper channels.

57
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 5: You gotta go through proper channels. You got it, and

58
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 5: you didn't do that. What a rebel. Well we are here, listen.

59
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 5: I would normally start with that insane Reds game yesterday,

60
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 5: but I'm not gonna do it because since we're at football.

61
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 5: Maybe I'll bring it up later. But Shannon, I will say,

62
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 5: when I give you tickets, craziest games in the world, right.

63
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I mean the cycle that Ellie hit a

64
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, and then last night that was

65
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: the wildest.

66
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 5: Game, unbelievable, Shannon. If Shannon is in the ballpark expecting

67
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 5: sane things happened. But we are here, all right, So

68
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 5: first impression, So we're gonna actually probably break early so

69
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 5: that we can have stoopids as much as possible. Early impressions.

70
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 5: Number one, Ryan, I don't know these people. I was

71
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 5: looking around and I'm like, I don't recognize any of

72
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 5: these players.

73
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 6: But that makes sense. It's a new team, right, yeah,

74
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 6: over fifty new players. I pointed out trying to find

75
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 6: Zach Calsaona. First I've ever seen him in person. Number five.

76
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 6: I saw Quizinberry, the kid from Boyle County. He was

77
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 6: out here wallago. So I see some familiar names, familiar faces,

78
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 6: but most of the guys I'm like, you no idea this.

79
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 5: And even when I look at this roster. First of all,

80
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 5: a lot of people. You're seeing the expansion of the

81
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 5: rosters due to the scholarship increase. One hundred and twenty

82
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 5: people on the rosters. There's a lot of people on

83
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 5: here where it's like, WHOA, that's a lot. That's just

84
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 5: a ton of human beings on the team. It is

85
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 5: a lot of them out here.

86
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 7: I came to the whatever they called it a few

87
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 7: weeks ago where they just played without two an touch

88
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 7: and their.

89
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 5: Meeting great people here whatever it was.

90
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 7: So I've seen them in person, but haven't been able

91
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 7: to do many interviews or haven't heard a lot of stoops.

92
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 7: A lot of the stuff gets scheduled while we're on

93
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 7: the air. So I'm excited Mitch Barnhart is talking right now.

94
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 7: I'll get to that in just a second. The other

95
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 7: the second biggest thing is how big the Pete guy is?

96
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 7: Where did they find that person?

97
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 5: New Mexico? He's our offensive lineman, right, he's a tackle

98
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: be good. First of all, Shandon, you should see this person.

99
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 5: He's the He looks like the Empire State.

100
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: Building, bigger than to deem at Ov w uh well,

101
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: not as wide as Kadeem, but maybe t taller.

102
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 5: Wow. I mean, I think he's taller than the Dean

103
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 5: Walker might be a little bigger. But this dude's taller

104
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: than him, isn't he? It's close.

105
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 7: I think he's listed at six eight sixty seven. I

106
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 7: wish Dion were on this team so we could just

107
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 7: get them side by side.

108
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 5: Dude, can you imagine if they lined up against each other?

109
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 5: Good night? I mean that, have you ever seen a

110
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 5: bigger offensive line. I mean, I've seen a gay, I've

111
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 5: seen fatter offensive lineman, but I've no I think I've

112
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: ever seen as tall and big a dude.

113
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: You're right.

114
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 6: He walked across the field. He didn't look like he

115
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 6: had any fat on him. He's a well built, strong

116
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 6: guy walking across the field of wall goes.

117
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 5: That's a big due. What we'll do is I'll stand

118
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: next to it and you'll get a sense today he's

119
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 5: because he's gonna over He's gonna tower over me.

120
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 7: And what he'd ryan with a picture with him too, well,

121
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 7: the right is gonna look like a little baby with him.

122
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: He's listed on the official site six eight three twenty two.

123
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 5: Six eight three. Well, I could say he's all that

124
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 5: and then some. And he's not short, dark and handsome.

125
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 5: He is.

126
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 6: He is tall, and then he's legit supposed to be

127
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 6: really really good. He's not just a big guy. Dude's

128
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 6: NFL potential.

129
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, So he'll be over here later. Mitch is talking

130
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 5: right now there. It's happening right behind us, but we

131
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 5: can't hear it. So I'm giving you the updates as

132
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 5: they get sent to me. Here are the updates that

133
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 5: we've had so far, thirty six million dollars will be

134
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 5: spent on Kroger Field upgrades, fifteen million on general upgrades,

135
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 5: twenty one million on the suites. I guess that's just

136
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 5: kind of life nowadays. He did say what we were

137
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 5: gonna have WiFi, but in five years WiFi. I feel

138
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 5: like he's been talking about Wi Fi for a decade.

139
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 7: And like five years think eventually we'll just have Wi

140
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 7: Fi everywhere on the planet.

141
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 5: Before We're gonna have Wi Fi in our brains before

142
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 5: they have it.

143
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: So long did they have to bring it overseas?

144
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 5: Why does it take five years years? I feel like

145
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 5: in five years you could build this stadium.

146
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah you could.

147
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 5: Elon could have that up in an hour. I mean,

148
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 5: they're gonna build a tunnel from the Nashville Airport to

149
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 5: downtown Nashville in six years. I don't understand it.

150
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 6: Any business you build a install Wi Fi as they

151
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 6: build a building.

152
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 5: I was able to call Spectrum and I had it

153
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 5: that afternoon.

154
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: There we go.

155
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 6: But you know, I remember Dwayne Peebe having this conversation

156
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 6: with us. When Dwayne was here. They were going to

157
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 6: Wi Fi a long time ago.

158
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 5: I remember in two thousand and three, the doll up

159
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 5: that they were talking about Netscape. I remember they got mad.

160
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 7: Frank Kursey was always on the phone so they could

161
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 7: get on the internet, and they were talking about it

162
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 7: back then.

163
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 5: All right, so I guess it'll be that long. He

164
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 5: also I think the big news, from what I've seen

165
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 5: him say so far, is that they're not going to

166
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 5: release the revshare for sport to sport. He said he

167
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 5: was going to keep that private. You know, I'm not

168
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 5: going to spend today ranting about this, but I've given

169
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 5: you my opinion. I don't know how a public university

170
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 5: can do that. I don't know how a public university

171
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 5: can spend twenty point six million dollars of money and

172
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 5: people don't see where it is. Someone would have to

173
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 5: explain to me what the exception is. Because we know

174
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: what every coach makes. You can go on there. You

175
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 5: can see what every professor makes, what every janitor makes.

176
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 5: You can see you can find online every dollar that

177
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 5: this university spends. And maybe there's an argument for not

178
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 5: saying how much you're giving each athlete for privacy reasons.

179
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: I can respect that, but not even saying what sport

180
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: it goes to. I mean, literally, they have to say.

181
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 5: When they build a building, they have to tell you

182
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 5: the public, what they've spent on each aspect of the building.

183
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 5: They have to say what contractor got what money. They

184
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 5: have to say all that. I don't know how they

185
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 5: can hide what they're spending on each sport. And Mitch

186
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 5: says we can't do it because our opponents won't do it.

187
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 5: I mean, okay, but I can't believe our opponents don't

188
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 5: have to do it either. That's gonna get challenged in

189
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 5: court and I will be shocked if that gets upheld,

190
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 5: that they can do that.

191
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 6: Well, you said it to me, just a guy looking

192
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 6: in so that they're hiding something?

193
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 5: Why you hide? I don't think that. I believe him

194
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 5: when he says he doesn't want the opponents to know.

195
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 5: But I just don't know how you can do that.

196
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: All right? I see Mark Stoops coming right now. Let's

197
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: we have a hard break at ten thirty. Why do

198
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 5: not I take the break now and that way we

199
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 5: can have the full time with you. Is that all right?

200
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 5: All right? We will take the break now. We will

201
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 5: come back with Mark Stoops right now after this, Kasi,

202
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 5: welcome back. Tell you sports radio, all right, I have

203
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 5: Mark Stoops. We have him for fifteen minutes, so I

204
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 5: got a lot I want to get to. Let's start

205
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 5: with this. Though you're doing okay. You know you had

206
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 5: the procedure that doing great. Yeah good. You're wearing sunglass

207
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 5: makes you look like y you know, a badass reader.

208
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: If you think I look bad, you see the other guys.

209
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: That's the answer. That's the answer, all right, So tell

210
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 5: me about the team. There's fifty new guys, so it's

211
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 5: like we don't know a lot of the guys. Tell

212
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 5: people in the best shortest way possible, strengths and things

213
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 5: you got to see get better over the next four weeks.

214
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think you've heard me talk a

215
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 2: lot this summer. I'll try to be relatively quick. You know.

216
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: For me, we had to get better upfront, right, I mean,

217
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: that's that's quite obvious. You really can't do anything if

218
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: you don't, you know, have the guys up front. So

219
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: I think it started with the offensive line. I feel

220
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: like we got a bunch of new guys there, you know,

221
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: much stronger, much more depth. Saying with the defensive line,

222
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: it starts there. I mean, you have to be able

223
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: to protect, you have to be able to run the

224
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: ball a little bit, have the balance you're looking for.

225
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: So I'm excited about depth.

226
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 5: We've heard. I'd heard from people they felt like the

227
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 5: started group was good. You feel good about the depth

228
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 5: as well.

229
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: I feel like we got eight guys that could start okay,

230
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: you know, so you know nine and ten we're working

231
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: on height.

232
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 5: I saw the dude from New Mexico. That's the biggest

233
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 5: person I've ever seen.

234
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's a big dude, and you need to

235
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: have him on.

236
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 5: He's coming out.

237
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: He's good. He's an interesting guys. He's awesome to talk to.

238
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: He's a great interview. He's very deep. You know, you

239
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: guys have some good conversations.

240
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 5: Well good, What is there a position where you go?

241
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 5: This is one I gotta see guys step up. I

242
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 5: want to make sure we get where we need to be.

243
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I mentioned the old line already. I

244
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 2: think that goes without saying saying with the d line,

245
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say that our receivers have

246
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 2: to be consistent and have to step up.

247
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 5: Now, you got like seven or eight guys that I

248
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 5: could see playing. Is it really just like a competition?

249
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: It is that it's definitely by committee and we will see,

250
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: you know who who steps up. I mean, you know,

251
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: so you know obviously j Mac, you know, Jimoury is produced,

252
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: you know, and really had a good finish to the season.

253
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: Hopefully he'll carry that forward, you know. So you know,

254
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: Fred is a guy you know hardly coming back.

255
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 5: Is a guy.

256
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: Kendrick Law you know, is one that we need to

257
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: step up and be a player for us. He's very strong,

258
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: so you know, we need him to be a bullple.

259
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 5: It looks to me like your running backs could be

260
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 5: a strength. Yeah, do you feel that way? Yeah, without

261
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: a doubt. Definitely again a position that we needed to

262
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: get better from a year ago. I definitely feel like

263
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 5: we've done that. We got the size that we're looking for.

264
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 5: Telling about the two guys that came in.

265
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: Well, Seth is a guy that that I think is mcgallan. Yeah,

266
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: he's just dynamic, He's really good out of the backfield.

267
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: He's a complete back. He's a game changer. I think

268
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: he's you know, he's a pro prospect, you know. So

269
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: he's a very good, complete player. And Dante's the big

270
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: physical guy that we've been looking for.

271
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 5: Yes from Nebraska, right exactly.

272
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know we wanted that a year ago,

273
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: a chip and unfortunately for him he was injured a lot,

274
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: you know, but but uh, Dante's is the big stock

275
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: running you've had over the ones we've had over the years.

276
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 5: You I think we've talked during the offseason about last year,

277
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 5: you know, discipline and some of that were things who

278
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 5: are the leaders of this team, who are the guys

279
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 5: that sort of because I've heard that is significantly better

280
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 5: this year.

281
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: It is, and I think you know, we've had to

282
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: address it. You know, as I've mentioned over and over again,

283
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: you know, we definitely fell short. It wasn't an area

284
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 2: where I'd like it to be stated like it was

285
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: the major problem. The major problem was we weren't good enough. Yeah,

286
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: you know that that's the bottom line. We weren't good enough.

287
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: I didn't do a good enough job with the whole team.

288
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: So we will definitely be better. There's definitely great leaders

289
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: on this team.

290
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 5: You know.

291
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: You look at Alexafari, you know, you look at Jordan

292
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: love It, you look at David Gusta. You know, on

293
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: the offense, there's multiple guys up front, Jagger Burton, you know,

294
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 2: so there's you know, it's tremendously better across the board.

295
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 5: Yeah. Uh, that that's I've heard that a well, so

296
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 5: let's talk about you look at the schedule. I mean

297
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 5: that is a it's a brutal schedule. Somebody could say, man,

298
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 5: you guys could be a lot better and it's still

299
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 5: hard because the schedule's very difficult. But I would assume

300
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: that's exciting for the players.

301
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 2: Without a doubt, and the same with me. It's like,

302
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: it is what it is, you know, so we just

303
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: embrace that. You know, I've talked a lot in the offseason,

304
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: but it's true, like, just embrace this journey. You know,

305
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: we had to hit it whatever you want to call

306
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: it had We had to get better, right, we had

307
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: to reset. And I feel like we've done that. You know.

308
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 2: Does that mean we've arrived or we're there. No, We've

309
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: got a lot of work to do. But I love

310
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: this team, and it's not just coach speak. When you

311
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: love showing up every day and love working with the team, like,

312
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: that's a good feeling.

313
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 5: I sometimes say I'm just I mean, I'll say to

314
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 5: you what I say when you're not here. I sometimes

315
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 5: think I can tell how things are going by how

316
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 5: you look. You look better than you've looked in a while.

317
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 5: Is that reflective of how I think it's fair? It's

318
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 5: definitely fair. You just look like you have more energy.

319
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it's fair, you know, like

320
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: I you know, just physically, just my ankle, you know,

321
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: it's it's one thing, but it's a big thing. You know.

322
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: I had to have my ankle replaced, and I just

323
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: that in itself, I fill a thousand times better. You know,

324
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: it bothered me all last year really, you know, it

325
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: was tough. So got that fixed in the off season.

326
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: That helped, and uh, you know, I just think, uh again,

327
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: just embracing the great challenge in front of us and

328
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: just you know, accepting it.

329
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 5: When when Vince left, there was a worry around people

330
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 5: that oh no, it's falling apart. When that happened, what

331
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 5: was your did you see it coming? And then it

332
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 5: does feel like to me after that, lots of commitments

333
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 5: came like there was almost I don't want to say

334
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: a re energizing or what, but but what was it

335
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 5: like when you were you surprised and then what happened?

336
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely I was surprised, definitely surprised. But as I mentioned,

337
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: you know, that's water under the bridge. Vince and I

338
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: are good. You know, there's never an easy way to

339
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: tell somebody you've been with for twelve years that you're

340
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: going to leave. That that's just not easy to do.

341
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: And so there's no hard feelings there.

342
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 5: But we're beating them in November, right Oh, well that

343
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 5: that you know, without a question, we're going for the throw.

344
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 5: I mean, we got to let him know who the grown.

345
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: Man is, right yeah, well without a doubt, but uh no,

346
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: big you know, Vince is is It's all good that way,

347
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: you know, it is what it is. You know, everybody

348
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: has to do what's right for them. He's in a

349
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: role off the field that that maybe it suits him

350
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: better right now as he moves forward, you know, you know,

351
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: for the next twelve years, who knows, you know, but

352
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: I thank him for what he's done. How's hard feelings

353
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: and we moved right on. I mean, that's just it.

354
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: You know, people think it's such.

355
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: An excite people have recruitings done, especially because that's that's

356
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 5: one of the things that people wonder well.

357
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: And I think in June people are looking for stuff

358
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: to talk about, right, Yeah, let's be honest, and so

359
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: when that happens, it's it's kind of a big deal

360
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: to people on the fans and everything, but not to

361
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: the organization. I mean, these guys we moved on quickly

362
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: and in recruiting things, you know, to me and a

363
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: lot you know, we can't talk about it all right

364
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: now and be glad to jump on again later. But

365
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: I feel like with this settlement in the way things

366
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: are going, I really feel good. Okay, let's talk about yours.

367
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: I really do.

368
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 5: Do you feel that people are obviously concerned wondering about basketball, football, ripshop?

369
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 5: Just talk to me just about football. No. Do you

370
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 5: feel like you have the resources that you need to

371
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 5: go and be competitive?

372
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, and and in particular Matt, with the settlement

373
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: and with basically like a salary cap, if we could

374
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: adhere to this nationwide, and then I think we'll be

375
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: in the best position we've been in a long time.

376
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: These last two or three years have just been rough.

377
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: I don't even care to go back, you know, don't

378
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: like making excuses. It was just rough, you know what

379
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: I mean. It's just so.

380
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 5: But if you explain to me, there's there are are

381
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: reports out there that the football program may not be

382
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: getting as much as others.

383
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: That's not true. Not true, simply not true. Okay, yeah, yes,

384
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: I don't. I think Mitchell at press conference this morning

385
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: took my spot because I did mine Monday. But maybe

386
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: he has addressed that. I don't know. I can't get

387
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: into it.

388
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 5: Sure, you're not true?

389
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: Not true?

390
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 5: Oh true.

391
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 2: Well, I'm very pleased with where we're at, and I

392
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: feel like because of some of the things we've done,

393
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: you know, with this cap if you will you know

394
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: what I mean, if we with with this settlement, if

395
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: if we if everybody abides by these rules and we

396
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: have some governance for this, then I feel like we'll

397
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 2: be in the best position we've been in for a while,

398
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: especially the next couple of years.

399
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 5: Do you Okay, So there's people who say, I mean,

400
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 5: you know this, this is probably the most criticism I've

401
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 5: seen you have to take in an off season since

402
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 5: you've been here. You see it or hear about it.

403
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 5: Even if you don't see it, How do you react

404
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 5: to that? When you do? You it's I have a

405
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 5: hard time, yeah, but I'm our time believe in.

406
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: You don't notice it, You're like me, You feel stuff

407
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 2: that's fair, absolutely, but I accept it. I mean, like, listen,

408
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: when I said twelve years ago, thirteen years ago, when

409
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: I walked in here, I knew what I was getting into.

410
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: That's not bs Like I know. I've been around this business.

411
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: Brothers have been head coaches, I've been around it.

412
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 5: All.

413
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean it's easy, doesn't mean you like it.

414
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: But I know very clearly you know there's gonna be

415
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: ups and there's gonna be downs, and it's not fun.

416
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 5: Man.

417
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: I feel you know when I say that, it's not

418
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: just me saying that, Like I feel for the like

419
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: the way we played and everything, Like I don't want

420
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: to come out here in this stadium and perform like

421
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: that and have a team like that. That matters to me.

422
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: I have pride in what we do in our team,

423
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: and that wasn't good enough. And you know, I can

424
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: promise you we're just working hard to get it wreckedfied

425
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 2: do you?

426
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 5: I will say? Watch. I mean you took a lot

427
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 5: of criticism for a while. I have felt like in

428
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 5: the last couple of months we've talked about this, there's

429
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 5: been some like all right, let's go, let's do this.

430
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 5: And one of the things there Shannon had. You haven't

431
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 5: had to use the bell yet, right, like we haven't

432
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 5: had to use the buzzer and the bell. Because we

433
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 5: were talking about words, people said, the fans want to

434
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 5: hear you're motivated. You've been saying grateful and uh do

435
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 5: you you know what that? Fans are out there with

436
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 5: the motivated thing? Why not embrace it?

437
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 2: Well, listen, one thing is is that's fine, I'm motivated.

438
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: When when have I not been motivated?

439
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 5: I know that's what. Well, that's where it came from.

440
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: When I won ten games? Yeah, two times in four years.

441
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: It hadn't been done in fifty Was that motivated?

442
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 5: You were motivated? Yeah?

443
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: Well is that there?

444
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 5: Yeah? That's there. No.

445
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 2: So so don't don't don't act like I'm not ever motivated.

446
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 5: You are.

447
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: We're always motivated.

448
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 5: Ye you know, there you go, there we go?

449
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

450
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 5: Do you all right? So? I love when you're when

451
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 5: you're swashbuckley. You're comment about the SMU coach on the ESPN.

452
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 5: We played it a lot where you said, if he

453
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 5: wants to, you know, strap it up and bring it on.

454
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 5: It does annoy you when conferences try to act like

455
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 5: the SEC is not the thing, right.

456
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: I think it's funny. Yeah, I didn't make it, you know,

457
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: I just thought, like, if you're some other head coaches,

458
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: A couple of them are really good friends of mine,

459
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: you know that are that are making comments in the offseason,

460
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: why wouldn't they say that. Of course they're going to

461
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 2: say that they want us to go and beat each

462
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 2: other up. You know they some of them have been

463
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 2: in this league.

464
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 5: But it's ridiculous to act like this. I mean, I

465
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 5: don't care what like this.

466
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: Clearly, Matt, do I really need to justify our schedule?

467
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 2: Put it up?

468
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean I'm with you on that. I'm with

469
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 5: you on that talk. So you what is your philosophy

470
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 5: going forward with how the portal is, et cetera. Football's

471
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 5: got to be so hard because you want to develop guys,

472
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 5: but you need guys in the immediate term. How do

473
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 5: you decide how to balance that?

474
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's just got to be a good balance.

475
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: You know, obviously last year was really heavy. You know,

476
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: it's not typical for us to have fifty new players.

477
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: You guys know that you follow us very closely, and

478
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 2: and you know, I don't think that'll happen again. I

479
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: really don't. Okay, you know, you know that's not that's

480
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: not our plan. You know, we have really good players

481
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: that are young and that are growing in our program,

482
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 2: and we want to continue to develop that. That's that

483
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 2: model for us is never going to change. You know,

484
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: the old recruit and developed. I mean, that's still there.

485
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: I mean, that's very much who we want to be

486
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: the players. I think, you know, as we move forward

487
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: the next three years, I think there'll be a little

488
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: bit more stability just because of the free agency, with

489
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 2: the portals that makes sense. That last three years, I

490
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 2: mean it's just astronomical. You know what what you you

491
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: don't could play players.

492
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 5: If you were in college players.

493
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And so I think that's just you know,

494
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: it's going to be hard. It's it's hard for us

495
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 2: to to sustain that, you know, if the model stayed

496
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: the same.

497
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 6: My favorite Mark Stoops is ticked off Mark Stoops here,

498
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 6: I think got your best. When you've got like a

499
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 6: chip on your shoulder and I see that coming back,

500
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 6: what did you do and for you to get that back,

501
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 6: get that fire back?

502
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: I think. You know, I again I understand that I agree,

503
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 2: you know, to some extent, I think I'm always trying

504
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 2: to stay ahead, try to stay motivated to do what

505
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: I need to do to your guys's point. But but

506
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 2: you know, I think just nobody likes you know, hey,

507
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: let's be honest. I mean we we we you know,

508
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: we took it on the chin last year, right, and

509
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: and nobody likes that. Anybody that's a competitor, you don't

510
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: like that. So you know, we've got to get it fixed.

511
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, I'm as competitive as anybody, and I

512
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: don't like that. I don't like the way we played.

513
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: And there's been other times, you know, where we've left

514
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: it on this field, and there's going to be good

515
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: and bad, and it's always going to be a hard schedule. However,

516
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's time to reload.

517
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 5: I could talk to you all day, but there may

518
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 5: be Mark, thank you very much for doing it.

519
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: Thanks appreciate you.

520
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 5: Here, we'll take a break, Mitch Barnhart when we return.

521
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 5: That's good. Yeah, it was good. Great. TJ Smith, personal

Speaker 5: Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. Mitch Barnhart, UK athletic director

526
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 5: joining US. Uh, Mitch, this has to have been This

527
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 5: has to have been one of the more difficult years

528
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 5: you've had with all the stuff that's been going on. Right.

529
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, As I mentioned earlier, we've had about I would

530
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 4: say ten years worth of work in college athletics. It's

531
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 4: been jammed down the pipeline in about six to ten months.

532
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 5: Okay.

533
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 4: And uh And when I say that, not from just

534
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 4: the institutional perspective, from the global perspective of what's going

535
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 4: on in college it's been. It's been a lot. We've

536
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 4: had good leadership from a lot of folks, and a

537
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 4: lot of folks are trying hard. But it's been a lot.

538
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 5: I mean, even for you personally, going back, you know

539
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 5: it's fifteen months ago you had to hire a new

540
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 5: basketball coach. All the way through all that's happened. That's

541
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 5: that's a lot. Okay. So I'm a legal dork. I'm

542
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 5: also a political dork. So when all this stuff's been

543
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 5: going on, I've been following it. And I will tell

544
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 5: you I'm a lawyer who did constitutional and labor law

545
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 5: and like politics, and I have a hard time following

546
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 5: How does the how do you all that? How do

547
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 5: you guys keep up with what's going on a day

548
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 5: to day basis on all this.

549
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's incredibly complicated, the challenges of governance structures. You've

550
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 4: got an INCAA governance structure that is struggling. You've got

551
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 4: the new Collegiate Sports Commission which is brand new, which

552
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 4: has real has no new pathways for us yet they're

553
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 4: trying to get rules in place and everything like that

554
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 4: as they go. Then you've got Congress, the Senate, US

555
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 4: Senate from the executive branch, got people weighing in and

556
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: saying this is a pathway we need to go. And

557
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 4: then you've got four conference commissioners in the I mean,

558
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 4: so there's a lot of folks in the middle of this.

559
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of in the kitchen.

560
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's complicated. As they say, complex complicated. I'm not

561
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 4: sure what it is, but it's one of them.

562
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 5: Are there are people in college sports you don't even

563
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 5: have to say your dad, but are there people who

564
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 5: are like trying to take the leadership on it? Yes?

565
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 5: And do they have our most people in college sports

566
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 5: on the same page or is it all over the place? Yeah?

567
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 4: I think I think you know you've you clearly have

568
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 4: the FBS and the four autonomy conferences that are that

569
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 4: are sort of, I would say, in the leadership position

570
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 4: of what's going on in college sports. And for some

571
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 4: that may not be what they want to hear, it's

572
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 4: a reality. I think, Commissioner Sankie, we're thankful in our league.

573
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 4: We've got a dynamic leader in Greg his dear friend.

574
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 4: I trust him. He's incredibly smart.

575
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 5: Uh.

576
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 4: There's other commissioners that obviously are joining alongside him. They're

577
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 4: having conversations, so I think that they're taking the forefront

578
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 4: of cole lessing. Between that Athlootic directors move to the

579
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 4: commissioner's commissioners to the presidents, and the presidents to the

580
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 4: legal Now we've been in hall I've been to d C.

581
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 4: I think some of my my assistants telling me I

582
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 4: have four times in the last ten months we've walked

583
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 4: the hallways and been around that and been on the phone.

584
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 4: I mean we've been on the phone a lot, and

585
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: it's so they ask us to you know, we've got

586
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 4: to stay in our lane, so to speak. But there's

587
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 4: also times where they want our opinion. What does it

588
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 4: look like? Boots on the ground and you what you're

589
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 4: doing with the work, Because you can talk about it

590
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 4: at one level, but absolutely implement implementation. It gets real

591
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 4: different when you're taking it to put it on account

592
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 4: that actually plays it absolutely.

593
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 5: My read on it. Tell me if I'm wrong. I

594
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 5: read that all this is great court decisions, commission blah

595
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 5: blah blah. If it's going to hold up for sure

596
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 5: when you get to those none justices on the Supreme Court,

597
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 5: you're going to need a congressional law passed in the

598
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 5: House and the Senate with sixty votes, which means bipartisan,

599
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 5: and then it can stay. And do you agree with that? Yeah?

600
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: I think that's what we're gonna have to get that

601
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 4: spot for it to have to last a while.

602
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

603
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 4: You know what I'm hopeful we're not going to do

604
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 4: is put us in a position where every three to

605
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 4: four years we're changing the landscape again. We need some stability.

606
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 4: The waters are super choppy right now and we need

607
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 4: them to settle, and we need to get to our

608
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: young people and our programs deserve that. They deserve to

609
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 4: know the landscape that they're in. And frankly, as I

610
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 4: mentioned earlier in the pressure was we had six hundred

611
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 4: and seventy five student athletes last year. I have five

612
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty five this year. We lost one hundred

613
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 4: and fifty.

614
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 5: Oh wow.

615
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 4: So and everyone doesn't really catch that until all of

616
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: a sudden you look up and the baseball roster went

617
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: from forty two to forty three guys down to thirty four.

618
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 5: But they're all in scholarship now.

619
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 4: But they have more scholarship. Yeah, yes, absolutely all true.

620
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 4: But but for your people, but fewer people. And I

621
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 4: always wonder at the end of the day, all of

622
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 4: those that got displaced, did they land someplace, did they

623
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 4: find a home? And we all know at the end

624
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 4: of the day football, men's basketball stirs this whole thing.

625
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 4: We get all that, but at the end of the day,

626
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 4: I'm also responsible for that other four hundred and fifty people.

627
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 5: Well, let's talk real quick about a couple of those

628
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 5: things as it applies to UK. You feel like you're

629
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 5: gonna have to cut a sport at.

630
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 4: This juncture, We don't think.

631
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 5: So.

632
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 4: We think we're in a really solid spot. I've gotten

633
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 4: support from the university administration and we feel good about that,

634
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 4: and so we feel really comfortable. I've walked into our

635
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 4: locker rooms, with our team meetings, and I feel really

636
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 4: good that we can be stable for a good long time.

637
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 5: There's twenty point six million in revenue. I don't think

638
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 5: I realized until I saw that you said it in there,

639
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 5: but two point six of that is the scholarship, right,

640
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 5: So really it's eighteen.

641
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that is a mandate of the settlement. You

642
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 4: have to take that off the top if you add scholarships,

643
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 4: any scholarships that you add have to come off that

644
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 4: twenty point five million dollars. And if you give the

645
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 4: Alston Awards, that's another two point five million, which we

646
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 4: are not doing the Alson Awards. We've replaced that with

647
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 4: revenue share or scholarship, which is the the Austin Academic

648
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 4: Awards from the NCAA from about eight years ago.

649
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 5: So you basically are playing with eighteen million dollars. Now.

650
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 5: There was a report that the SEC met and they

651
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 5: wanted all schools to set the same amount of money,

652
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 5: and the report was that Kentucky objected. Is that true?

653
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

654
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think that that is an institutional decision. I

655
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 4: think that we ought to be able to make institutional

656
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 4: decisions about how we spend our money. What is important

657
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 4: for one school might not be as important for another school,

658
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 4: and in your priorities in place. There was a school

659
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 4: somewhere else in the country, I can't remember which school

660
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 4: it was, and they said they were going to give

661
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 4: every student a piece of the revenue share. Well, that's

662
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 4: sort of helpful, but not really. If I'm giving somebody

663
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 4: five hundred dollars, but I could have given them a scholarship,

664
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 4: I'd rather give them the scholarship that's worth much more

665
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 4: than the five hundred dollars. So we want to be

666
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 4: thoughtful about what we do, and I think each institution

667
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 4: has to make choices. What is important for one school

668
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 4: maybe football, and one school might be women's basketball. And

669
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 4: you know, there's there's certain schools that have got incredible

670
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 4: priorities for baseball in our league.

671
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 5: And that makes a lot of sense to me. But

672
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 5: then it becomes okay, well what do we do at

673
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 5: this school? You have said you want it to be

674
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 5: flexible in your mind, though, is there a part where

675
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 5: you have to say, I'm going to have to choose? Oh? Yeah,

676
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 5: I mean, and how do you make that?

677
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, we we absolutely are going to have to make

678
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 4: some roster choices, but I want to make sure we're

679
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: in conversation with all of our coaches at that point,

680
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 4: and we've been. They've been awesome. Let me repeat incredible.

681
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 4: I mean that Bill to sit down with both marks

682
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 4: and sit here and say, hey, this is where we are.

683
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 4: Kenny Brooks and women's basketball. You know he's in the

684
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 4: recruiting process. Mitch, what do we say? And well, what

685
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 4: do you need? Tell us what you need? Tell us

686
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 4: let's match Rob Mullens, who is my deputy. A long

687
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 4: long time ago, I hesitated a huge tree. So Rob

688
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 4: always had a great line matching resources to expectations. So

689
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: what are the expectations and what are the resources we

690
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 4: need to match to those? And so I think we've

691
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 4: done a really really good job of matching resources to

692
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 4: expectations for our coaches, and they've been able to go out.

693
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 4: It's clear, it's it's it's been successful in recruiting. Our

694
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 4: coach has been able to bring in the rosters that

695
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 4: they wanted to bring in. And as we look forward,

696
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 4: they're they're all saying the same thing. We're in a

697
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 4: good spot.

698
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 5: I suspect that you tell me this was another report.

699
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 5: You tell me if it's true. You know, it is

700
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 5: very difficult. Lots of school Every school wants to be

701
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 5: good at football. You mentioned, some really want women's basketball,

702
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 5: some really want baseball. I can't imagine there's a school

703
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 5: in the country that cares more about basketball than here.

704
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 5: So as you're sitting here looking at this football team

705
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 5: and saying, we're playing the hardest league in the country,

706
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 5: But I got this basketball team that they want the fans.

707
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 5: The fans want to be the best team in the country.

708
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 5: How do you do that with those two sports?

709
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 4: It's magic?

710
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 5: What a great answer. No, it's.

711
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 4: It's a it's a puzzle. It's a puzzle.

712
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 5: You know.

713
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 4: I want to make sure that we're we're being thoughtful

714
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 4: about that. You know, the as I told them in there,

715
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 4: I said, the settlement goes up four percent every year.

716
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 5: Yep.

717
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 4: And then so that twenty point five million, we think

718
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 4: we're we're hopeful that we that the that is a

719
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 4: in the litigation, we can get to a spot where

720
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: maybe we can say that two point five million dollars

721
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 4: was a one time offset and we can get that

722
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 4: added back because.

723
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 5: It's being the scholar scholarships. It's not new anymore, gotcha

724
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 5: and so.

725
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 4: We're I don't know how that'll work, Matt, I don't.

726
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: I don't know how that will work with if it does,

727
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 4: it does.

728
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 5: Whatever the amount of money is, Kentucky, you think can

729
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 5: have it, Yes, okay, So in some respects, whatever the

730
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 5: money is, you're not worried about raising.

731
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 4: No, we're gonna be involved. We're gonna be We're gonna

732
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 4: be at the at the at the maximum we can

733
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 4: be to support our programs and and not be disadvantaged.

734
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 5: And that is something that I'm not gonna say which schools,

735
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 5: some schools in the Power for conferences might have a

736
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 5: hard time with. Yes, okay. And do you worry about

737
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 5: the Big East teams that don't have football the amount

738
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 5: of money they could spend on baskets?

739
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: Certainly it's different. And that is a conversation. That's a concern,

740
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, and as it relates to our

741
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 4: basketball program, making sure that we're that we're aligned in

742
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 4: the in the proper ecosystem, so to speak. Yes, all right, well,

743
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 4: so make sure that we're in that conversation.

744
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 5: I think it's only fair that I ask you my

745
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 5: biggest concern about this, which is I'm a I'm a

746
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 5: public information guy. Right. I heard that you said in there,

747
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 5: and I understand your position, which is, I don't want

748
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 5: to tell you what we're doing because that gives the

749
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 5: other people a competitive advantage. Help me understand how public institutions,

750
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 5: not just you, okay, because I'm sure they're all going

751
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 5: to take this position, how do public institutions justify not

752
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 5: telling people what they're spending the money on.

753
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, so for part of that, you know, part of

754
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 4: that is in terms of a student for a perspective,

755
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 4: we want to be able to protect students, right, just

756
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 4: support and I and again that's it more, it's it

757
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 4: will be fluid from moment to moment. It could change

758
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 4: from moment to moment, and so you know, it's I

759
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 4: think that there's a competitive piece for us and then

760
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 4: student rights peace for us, and we.

761
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 5: Can argue it all the student rights. And I don't care.

762
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 4: I get, I get people want to know, but let.

763
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 5: Me let me just make my car I'm not talking

764
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 5: player by player. I don't. I don't think it. I don't.

765
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if the public should know what alex

766
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 5: afar right, But how do these how do does the

767
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 5: SEC or any school justified not letting fans know what

768
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 5: which program they're spending money on.

769
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't. I'm not sure the the

770
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 4: legal pieces and all that. You know.

771
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 5: I don't.

772
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 4: Having said that, I just know that from a competitive

773
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 4: it's competitive for us.

774
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 2: For absolutely, it's competitive.

775
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's if.

776
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 5: All the schools come together and say we're going to

777
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 5: release it. Are you cool with that? Well, at least

778
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 5: it is the matter. I appreciate it, you know what.

779
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 5: I even when I disagree, I respect people that are

780
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 5: upfront and on it. So I can take that last thing.

781
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 5: A lot of fans and I do my best to

782
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 5: explain it. A lot of fans who just love Kentucky sports, right,

783
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 5: I love Kentucky sports. College sports matter to me. Look

784
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 5: at this and go, is this all gonna survive? Well,

785
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 5: what would you say to that?

786
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say we that is certainly when you say

787
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 4: all of it, I mean all of it, not just football,

788
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 4: not just I would argue and not at the level.

789
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 5: I get it.

790
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 4: And so don't walk out here and say he's delusional.

791
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 4: Many have said that when you walked in and we

792
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 4: were throwing the final pitch to get to the College

793
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 4: World Series, that was an emotional moment for a lot

794
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 4: of Kentucky fans as it was for some of the

795
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 4: things we've done here. And so my point when Sidney

796
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 4: McLoughlin is running away with gold medals, that's as emotional

797
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 4: for a lot of our fans is a lot of things.

798
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 4: When you know, I could go down the list. My

799
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 4: point in all that is, I wanted to all survive,

800
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 4: man but can football and men's basketball. There has to

801
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 4: be a pathway. We have got to find a way

802
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 4: to ensure there's a pathway. It's too important for us

803
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 4: as an institution, it's too important for us as a

804
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 4: community what it means to this community. We just got

805
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 4: some economic impact reports from supposedly we're trying to verify

806
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 4: all that stuff of what the first second round of

807
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 4: the men's basketball tournament was.

808
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 5: Trust me, somebody owns a restaurant, I can tell you.

809
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 5: But also the state I was down in London after

810
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 5: the tornado. If this stuff matters to people, you know,

811
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 5: it just does.

812
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 4: It does, And so we've got to find a way

813
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 4: to ensure. You know, and if you weren't, you weren't

814
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 4: in there. But I told the story of the couple

815
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 4: in South Carolina that my wife and I befriended a

816
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 4: little bit, and they didn't know anything about the litigation.

817
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 4: They had no idea what was going on in the

818
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 4: world of college athletics, but they did know that we

819
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 4: were playing Duke next Tuesday night, and it was really

820
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 4: really important. And so I say that because our fans

821
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 4: are so special and this community is special, and between

822
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 4: the Keenlan and the horse racing and the Bourbon Trail

823
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 4: and what we offer and tourism, and we're a part

824
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 4: of that piece for this community and the jobs it

825
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 4: creates and the things that it does, we've got to

826
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: be strong for that. We've got to be strong for

827
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 4: for what we do at Kentucky. We we think we're

828
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 4: a really good front porch for the university and we

829
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 4: want to make sure that when people walk in the door,

830
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 4: it's painted well, it looks great on the outside, and

831
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 4: we lead them in something that's really really cool. So

832
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 4: it's important from a lot of fronts, not the least

833
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 4: of which just the emotional well being of our fans.

834
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 4: I want I want them to walk out and going,

835
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 4: you know what we are Kentucky and we're.

836
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 5: Pride as it brings pride to people that need it,

837
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 5: and I respect that absolutely. I'll face this. I as

838
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 5: we were going starting this tumultuous path three or four

839
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 5: years ago, I would admit I thought Mitch has been

840
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 5: a great athletic director. For this is a conservative, kind

841
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 5: of old school guy. I think you've done a great

842
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 5: job with this. I really do. I mean, you have

843
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 5: navigated this way above my expectations. So I just want

844
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 5: to congratulate you on that. I really, I really do

845
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 5: mean thank you, Mitch. Appreciate you. Will take a break

846
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 5: and be right back. Welcome back, Kentucky Sports Radio. Shannon

847
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 5: just made me laughing to break about as hard as

855
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 5: I think that's the best Mitch has ever been on KRY.

856
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest with you. I've always kind of

857
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 5: you know, his interviews are usually like talking around stuff.

858
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 5: That's maybe it was just that we only had twelve

859
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 5: minutes or fifteen minutes. He was direct. That's the best

860
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 5: he's ever done on here. I think, what do you

861
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 5: think maybe maybe besides when he came on with Pope

862
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 5: to introduce Pope to everybody, but that this is probably

863
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 5: right there with.

864
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 6: It, very open, very candid, very straightforward. Answered your question.

865
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 6: Didn't death run anything. It was a little funny, got

866
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 6: us all laughing.

867
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 5: A couple of answered them directly, like like I give

868
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 5: him credit, like that's not something he usually does. He

869
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 5: answered every single thing I said directly.

870
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 7: It's a great interview. I told Jake, with you ca athletics,

871
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 7: I said, I gotta be honest. I did not expect

872
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 7: to laugh twice when he sat down, but when he

873
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 7: said magic and the.

874
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 5: I mean I still disagree with him on that, but

875
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 5: I gotta respect the end. What a good answer. Yeah,

876
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 5: that was good, That was good health. I have definitely

877
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 5: news there right. Oh yeah, not ending any sports. I

878
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 5: don't know if he said this stuff in the in

879
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 5: the other ones. I'm but not ending any sports, saying

880
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 5: we will have the money, No matter what, and basically

881
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 5: saying that you know, well maybe even Mark Stoops saying

882
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 5: football is good. I think those are all three very

883
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 5: important newsy things to come out of this. I think.

884
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 6: So also you to talk about it being a fluid

885
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 6: situation where it could change as the season goes on,

886
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 6: and things like that. So I thought both guys really

887
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 6: really helped themselves in the eyes of the fan base

888
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 6: and said what I think a lot of us needed

889
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 6: to hear him saying.

890
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 5: But see, that's like I would say, that's good advice

891
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 5: in general, just like for these things, just answer the question.

892
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 5: Like people are smart, they can tell if you're not.

893
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 5: He answered all of those questions. And I bet there

894
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 5: are some some sports fans and former athletes of some

895
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 5: of those sports listening going good because there were definitely

896
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 5: has been have been rumors that a couple of these

897
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 5: sports might go away, and so he kind of I

898
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 5: think diffuses that.

899
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's both guys. It was very comforting for anyone

900
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 7: keeping up with us and watching it. We didn't really

901
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 7: get much time to react to Stoops, but I loved

902
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 7: how straightforward Stoops was about how those were what's're wrong? Like,

903
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 7: I'm I'm happy like we all heard the basketball that

904
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 7: they're getting smaller piece of pie stoops.

905
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 5: Was like, no, that's completely false. And it is interesting

906
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 5: again you think of Mitch as like this conservative. I

907
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 5: mean literally, Shanton played loosen up my buttons baby as

908
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 5: he came in. I cannot believe you did that top

909
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 5: button done? But but he for somebody for him to.

910
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 5: Basically I asked him about the report that he objected

911
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 5: to everybody doing the same thing. I thought he would say, well,

912
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 5: I mean we may not have been. He was like, yep,

913
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 5: that was us that didn't try to hide it at all,

914
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,439
Speaker 5: try to hide it at all. He's like, yes, we

915
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 5: were the ones that objected. Good because I think Kentucky

916
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 5: is the school that maybe needs to object the most.

917
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 5: We need to have the ability to pay basketball. And

918
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 5: good good for Mitch he did it.

919
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 7: I don't know the person that was sitting right there,

920
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 7: that guy waggy Mitch like he stuck out his chest like, yeah,

921
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 7: it was me.

922
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 5: I mean, yes, it was me. He did of his

923
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 5: top button buttoned. But I think underneath the pectoral muscles

924
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 5: were flexing like like mister spectacular Shandon like yeah, look

925
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,200
