Carson Beck now is now a part 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: of getting robbed. This has happened in professional athletics, but 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: now it's happening to college athletes and people are blaming 8 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: him for it. What Shadur Sanders the kid drops new 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: music just ahead of the draft. Are we listening to it? 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: And is it a banger? And of course there's a 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: scandal going on, but this one is about assy punters 12 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: and their place in football altogether and Last Chance You 13 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: participants are suing Netflix.

Let's get to it, Ralph, We're 17 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: gonna start with the Big Ten and the SEC taking 18 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: over the College Football Playoff. I could not hate this anymore. 19 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: This goes against the spirit of college football. This goes 20 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: against everything that we love about college football. And if 21 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: you don't know what's happening, let me kind of give 22 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: you the recap of it. So, starting in twenty twenty six, 23 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: with the playoff expansion, the big ten in the SEC 24 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: essentially negotiated their own backdoor deal that in twenty twenty 25 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: six they get to be the lone people who decide 26 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: what happens for the future of the playoffs in terms 27 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: of expansion. Who gets in all of this stuff, Like, yes, 28 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: they're supposedly is going to have to be a vote 29 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: on it, but the way it's built that they're going 30 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: to have the say so of what happens. And also 31 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: there are changes that they want to make for twenty 32 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: twenty five, which is that instead of the conference champions 33 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: getting buys, that they go in order of rankings, that 34 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: that who get the buys. We'll discuss that as well. 35 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: But from twenty twenty six on, Ralph, this is everything 36 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: that I hate about the game that I love, which 37 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: is college football, which is the powers and the money 38 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: dictating everything about it because the SEC is dangling is 39 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: carried around. Hey guys, we'll play nine conference games. We'll 40 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: play nine conference games, and we'll give you on top 41 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 1: of that, On top of that, guys, for your additional 42 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars, you we're gonna slash the price 43 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: and give it to you for thirty three million, and 44 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna add in a scheduling agreement with the Big Ten. 45 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: But the nine conference games is what you've been wanting. 46 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna give it to you. But in exchange for that, 47 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: we need and expanded playoffs to not twelve, not fourteen, 48 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: but sixteen games for you, sixteen teams for you the consumer, 49 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: and all we want in return, it's just a minimum 50 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: of four teams in. That's all we want. Let's expand 51 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs, not for the most merit based of teams 52 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: to get in, but just so we make sure that 53 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: we have enough teams in. We're gonna give you extra spots. 54 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: You guys want expansion, We're gonna give you expansion, but 55 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: we're not gonna give you. But in exchange for that expansion, 56 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: we're actually we actually you want to take all the 57 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: expanded spots. I hate this route. 58 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: Are you sure you hate it? 59 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: Yes? I hate it with the power of a thousand sons. 60 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: All right, I'm just making sure because you and I 61 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: have a lot of conversations off air about boxing. 62 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm nervous. 63 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: We have a lot of conversations, and you have told 64 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: me quite a few times that you don't have a 65 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: problem with the fact that Floyd Mayweather was so big. 66 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: Did he got the handpick everybody? Did he got to 67 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: hand pick the dates? This is the This is the 68 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: to the to the rich, go the spoils, or whether 69 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: to the victor go to spoils. You you get to 70 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 2: the point where you can lobby enough for your own 71 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: self interest and you can take over an entire organization 72 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: and you can just use it to serve yourself. 73 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: Oh, I pArg you. 74 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: This is the thing you just described is everything I've 75 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: complained about about Bob aram the Big ten and Floyd 76 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: Mayweather the SEC for years, and you told me I 77 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: was wrong, ral And now I hear you talking about 78 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: college football kind of in the same way. I'm just wondering, 79 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: did something change? Do you want to talk about box? 80 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 2: I know it's college football puzzles, but I'm just wondering 81 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 2: if you see the connection that I see. 82 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: Ralph. I'm going to use your example and raise your example, 83 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: flip it on you, and you're gonna be like, God, dang, 84 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: what I wasn't prepared for this for him to wiggle 85 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: out of this box. All right, Ralph, So you bring 86 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: up fantastic points about boxing. You are one hundred percent right. 87 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: What has happened to boxing? 88 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: It's it's falling off. Like we all know two or 89 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 2: three boxers. 90 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: Bingo bingo, bengo bongo. Do you know what's going on 91 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: in the UFC, the other combat sport? The commissioner which 92 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: college football needs, which I've active, which I've advocated for. 93 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: The commissioner consistently puts up the best fights. He doesn't 94 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: allow brinky dink bs scheduling like Ohio State did last year, 95 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: like Georgia did the last time that they won a 96 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: national championship, like Michigan did, where you are a power 97 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: school and you play three gimmes, three layups, three nonpout 98 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: and Power five or Power four conference teams in your 99 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: non conference. So I love college football. I want college 100 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: football to be the number one thing in the entire universe. 101 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: But it won't happen with stuff like this. It is boxing, Ralph. 102 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: It will go the same way as boxing. If you 103 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: let the powers that be control and disseminate everything, all 104 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: you're going to get is Big ten Champion, SEC Champion, 105 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: Big ten Champion SEC Big ten, Big ten, Big ten, SCC, 106 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: SCCSCC ACC, Big twelve will never win a championship again 107 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 1: because and this is the problem with college football route 108 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: is that there is a hoarding of power and it 109 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: is not for the benefit of the sport. It is 110 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: for the benefit of those of the people in power. 111 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: This is no different than what is going on in 112 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: the world today and life any of that is. That's 113 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: the thing, honestly, that makes the CAP the NFL so great. 114 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys are by far the most valuable franchise. 115 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: They have no better chance of winning than the Tampa 116 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers or the or the Green Bay Packers, who 117 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: have no true owner. The fans own the team, but 118 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 1: they don't even get an equity split. There's no rouph. 119 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: There is no team in the NFL that has no 120 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: hope besides the Chicago Bears, and it's their own fault. 121 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: And in college football, the fact that you have teams 122 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: with no hope and now with the Big ten in 123 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: SEC taken over, there is no hope for anybody else. 124 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: It is the disaster. This will ruin the sport of 125 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: college football, Did I wiggle out of the box good 126 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: enough for you? 127 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: I think you made a lot of really good points. 128 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: I think what I was looking for was like something 129 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 2: that rhymes with mouth, was flight about that. The conversation 130 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: will continue at a later date, all right. 131 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: So I do not think that this is good for anybody. 132 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: This is why college football needs a commissioner, because college 133 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: football needs parody. And you're listening to this from somebody 134 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: whose team does not operate in parody at all. My 135 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: Oregon Ducks are. They have pushed their way into the 136 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: upper echelon of college football with money, with access, with winning, 137 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: with like a combination of all of them. Right, it 138 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: is take what Iowa State has done right, and you 139 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: add it because they've done an excellent job building a program, 140 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: everything else. That's what Oregon did, except for you add 141 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: in Nike, a lot of marketing, a cool factor, like 142 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: all of the things that Iowa does not have, Oregon has. 143 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: So they've done the football part and they've done the 144 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: marketing part. So that's like put throwing gasoline on a fire. 145 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: So you're I'm saying this as somebody who has benefited 146 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: from this, And yes, I do know that what I'm 147 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: asking for means that sometimes some periods, Oregon's gonna have 148 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: a rough spot. I believe that that is better for 149 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: the world of college football, that Vanderbilt may win a 150 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: championship or Rutgers may win a championship than the direction 151 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: that it's going. 152 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: I understand, I understand what you're saying, and I wholeheartedly 153 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: agree with you. But part of this negotiation right now, 154 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: there is some logic to receding. 155 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: Yes, I don't. I got no problem with tweaking the system. 156 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: Like with tweaking the. 157 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: My issue with receding is it that it ignores that 158 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 2: probably just seating is broken because so much much of 159 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: it is based on what somebody feels about a team 160 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 2: going into the preseason. And if you have a team 161 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: go eleven and one that didn't have a lot of 162 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 2: respect and doesn't have a schedule that a lot of 163 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 2: people respect, and you have a team that everyone expected 164 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: to go eleven and one go eleven and one those 165 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: two teams don't play each other, then it's very natural 166 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 2: for us to say team we expected to be great 167 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: is much better, deserves to be ranked much higher. And 168 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: that's because we do have a committee system. When it 169 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 2: comes to the rankings, I almost wish that and it's 170 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: never really talked about, but one of the drastic changes 171 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: that would be made to college football is it's fine 172 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: and dandy to have AP rankings, but there should be 173 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: a ranking structure that drops like six weeks into the 174 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: season that is the actual one that we go by. 175 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: That's all because it so much of it has to 176 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 2: do with what you talked about, the branding, the mar ma, 177 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 2: getting the expectations. In the same way that you tell 178 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: people they have to lobby for the Heisman. A lot 179 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: of work for what people think of you going into 180 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: next season is done the season before the season before that. 181 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: This is why the Unafraid Show college football rankings are 182 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: the best rankings on the planet, because yes, we come 183 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: out with a preseason poll, but then what what happens 184 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: as new information comes and in the beginning of the season, 185 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: what do what do people say about the pole in 186 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season? Ralph likes week one, week two, 187 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: week week three meaningless? Yeah, what what what the the 188 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: Unaffraid Show rankings? They're like, oh, those are crazy? What 189 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: are you talking about? 190 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: How they're comparing it to what they know and and 191 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: they're comparing it to expectations and Vegas odds and everything 192 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: like that. All you can really deal with is how 193 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: a team plays and looks and the time capital of 194 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: the season. 195 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: We're in, yes, and when in if Ohio State or 196 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: Alabama or Georgia or Clemson or any other name brand 197 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: team starts out the season with three layup games, Like, 198 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: you don't play a Power five given I don't care 199 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: if you win by eighty points a game, You're not 200 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: going to be number one in the post. Just not, 201 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: especially when other teams have beaten Power four teams that 202 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: should not be so. And this is the problem with 203 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: the voting is that it is based upon like they're 204 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: projecting out what they think they're like, they beat them 205 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: by seventy five points three weeks in a in a row. Yes, 206 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: they didn't play any any teams that were competition for them, 207 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: but they're ranked high into recruiting rankings. This team we 208 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: know is gonna be good, and yes, they may be good, 209 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: but you should not be ranking them at a particular 210 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: spot until they have proven that they should be there. 211 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 2: I'm with you one hundred percent. There was a time 212 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 2: last year when a five and six Kansas legitimately was 213 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 2: one of the best twenty five teams in the country, 214 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 2: but they were five and six, and so, like, you 215 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: should have a system that kind of looks at where 216 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 2: somebody's at. You brought up UFC. They have that. You know, 217 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: there's a fighter that I followed in the UFC. His 218 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: name is Matt Brown, and he would consistently be ranked 219 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: amongst one of the best competitors in the entire UFC, 220 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: even though his lifetime record was like eighteen and seventeen, 221 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 2: because he's being judged based on like what he's capable 222 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: of right now, yeah, right, And so like, there's some 223 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: teams genuinely in November Kansas was one of the top 224 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: twenty five teams in the country. And we know this 225 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: because they beat three top twenty five in the country. 226 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 2: And so you should you should be able to look 227 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: at things like that. But it's hard. It's hard for 228 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: college football to get out of what it's always been, 229 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 2: which is reputation and expectation. 230 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: And people are not going to put their jobs at risk. 231 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: Think about if you're Tony Pettiti with the Big Ten, 232 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: if you're a Greg Sankie at the SEC, not only 233 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: will your job potentially vanish, but your job will become 234 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: less powerful. Even if it doesn't vanish, your job will 235 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: become significantly less powerful. You will have less staff, less influence, 236 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: all of that stuff, and nobody's going to volunteer for that. 237 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: That's why you have to have This is where the 238 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: presidents of the universities have to be above the athletic directors, 239 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: above the coaches, above the commitment like that. Those are 240 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: the people that hire the commissioners. They have to be 241 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: academic people at that point in time and say, hmm, 242 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: I know that we don't understand what's best for sports 243 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: on a regular, you know, intricate basis, but we do 244 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: believe because because there are more have notts than are 245 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: our halves. In college football, there are more have nots, 246 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: as in teams that can win a national cannot win 247 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: a national championship versus teams that can win a national championship. 248 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: And these are in power conferences too. So if you 249 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: are those teams, why would you not say we need 250 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: a place where we can be competitive and not a 251 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: place where we can just make the most money. Because 252 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: you can make the most money and have no shot. 253 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: Rutgers has no shot of winning a national championship any time. 254 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: If the current system stays the same and there is 255 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: a perject that will not happen. And we got a 256 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: video coming out talking about that twenty and a half 257 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: million dollars because people have rouph foolishly believed that this 258 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: twenty and a half million dollar salary cap for college 259 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: football is actually a real thing. It reminds me of 260 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: the Wolf of Wall Street when Matthew McConaughey is sitting there, 261 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: like in there at the dinner. He's like, he was like, 262 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: it's for gazy, it's for gatzi. It doesn't exist. It's 263 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: vapor doesn't exist. Because the schools are going to, like 264 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: Georgia just said, they're keeping their nil collective for third 265 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: party deals, so they are going to and what schools 266 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: are going to do, They are going to skate by 267 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: with the Title nine stuff because instead of paying Carson 268 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: back well over a million dollars like they did last year, 269 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: they'll pay Carson back from the collective, I mean from 270 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: the school like two hundred thousand dollars and then pay 271 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: other people twenty five and twenty five and then put 272 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: a lot more of that money into tennis, into basketball, 273 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: into rowing into all of that stuff and then have 274 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: the nil continue to collective, continue to do the heavy lifting. Yep, yep, 275 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: grow up, Peter Pan sisten this this is not h 276 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: and I hate to be the bear of bad news, 277 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: but this is fake This is fake news. This is disinformation, 278 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: This is disingenuine. This is not honest. And a lot 279 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: of people don't want to say the quiet part out loud, 280 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: but this is why you come to the Unafraid Show, 281 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: because you're one of us and we are unafraid. 282 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: What's the So, what's the boogeyman here? As I always 283 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 2: do this in my house. That's a big thing is 284 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 2: when anybody is worrying, I always say, what's the what's 285 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: the worst case scenario? Let's name it. Let's name it 286 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 2: so we know what to prepare for. Is the worst 287 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: case scenario? The Big twelve in ACC are like, all right, 288 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 2: well then we're just not going to schedule you guys. Yeah, yeah, 289 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 2: you with a completely fractured system. Yeah, Big twelve ACC 290 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: because like there's still teams in the ACC trying to leave. Yes, yeah, 291 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: North Carolina University of North Carolina is shelling a little 292 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: bit of money here and there away every month for 293 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 2: like legal. 294 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: Fees, Ralph. And then think about this, right with the 295 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: ACC and the Big Twelve, the Big Ten, and the 296 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: SEC want to do away with the buys right for 297 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: conference champions that will never happen for twenty twenty five 298 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: because that creates an additional eight million dollars for those schools. 299 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: So Boise State their conference Mount West got an additional 300 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: eight million dollars. Same thing with the Big Twelve, Same 301 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: thing with the Oh sorry sorry but yeah, yeah, the 302 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: Big Twelve with Arizona State, so they got an additional 303 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: eight million dollars by getting passed through to the second 304 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 1: round of the playoff. Why would you give that up 305 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: when you know you're gonna get screwed on the back end. 306 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 2: Oh of course, yeah. And I mean and there's other 307 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 2: stuff going on too that only benefits certain schools. So 308 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 2: like Alabama and Georgia both passed legislation that nil money 309 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: collected by oh it's not tax college athletes doesn't isn't 310 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: subject to state tax. Illinois is trying to pass a 311 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 2: bill like that right now as well. And the only 312 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 2: reason that the state of Illinois is trying to pass 313 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 2: a bill like that is the guy that introduced the 314 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 2: bill is a graduate of University of Alabama, so he 315 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 2: gets it right. He's trying, he's trying to help out 316 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 2: the state, the state of Illinois. But it's that there 317 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 2: will there will always be some level of advantage to 318 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 2: certain schools. But I don't understand why those schools have 319 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 2: Conference commissioners walking around like they're the ones that are disadvantaged, 320 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: or they're the ones that are getting screwed, or they're 321 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: the ones that need extra protection. No, you just have 322 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: the resources to look out for yourself. The SEC and 323 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 2: the Big Ten are not getting screwed out of anything. 324 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 2: And if they have it bad anywhere, that means other 325 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 2: people have it worse. 326 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: No one should be. 327 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 2: Worried about the SEC or the Big Ten for any reason. 328 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: Exactly. Yep, yep, you are right, bro that that that's 329 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: it's gross.

And 343 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about Chilean gangs, other gangs from other places, 344 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: and just people just robbing their houses in general. I 345 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: remember that there was a time route where athletes were 346 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: protected people in the community where if you killed an 347 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: athlete or something like it was it was a no 348 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: no like gangs in terms of like they knew, like 349 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: stay away from these people, bro, Like it's going to 350 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: cost too much heat, you're gonna get investigations, then it's 351 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: gonna bother our organizations stay away from not even just athletes, 352 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: but all high profile people. Right. And there's still an 353 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: element of that in terms of organizations, right, but individual 354 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: people no longer have that same respect. And especially if 355 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: you're you know, like you know, like this ain't your 356 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: game or nothing, they're like this is opportunity, and Travis 357 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: Kelsey and uh and Patrick Mahomes are not people that 358 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: are like super showy, right, like they're they're not running 359 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: around looking like mister t with thirty gold chains on, 360 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: and or like Floyd Mayweather where he flaunts his wealth 361 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: like that's not it and where like a fifty cent 362 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: lyric he talks about somebody get getting robbed and he's like, 363 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: that's what you get for stunting on my block show off. 364 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: And so Carson Beck and his girlfriend there, they just 365 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: had three cars stolen, right A Carson Beck had what 366 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: his Lamborghini and what a Ben stolen? 367 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: And uh yeah, and a Mercedes. And I believe he 368 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 2: had three cars stolen. One was found and we had 369 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 2: heard about his his first vehicle, the Lamborghini while he 370 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 2: was at Georgia. And it's very possible that some of 371 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 2: these are leases, not necessarily cars that he owns. But yeah, 372 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 2: and then it's Hannah Cavendar, not Haley my apologies, but 373 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: Hannah Cavender is somebody who you know Carson Beck. Most 374 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 2: people know Carson Beck from his time as Georgia's starting quarterback. 375 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: He's not he's not really on socials in the way 376 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: that Hannah and Haley Cavender are. 377 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: No. 378 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: Hannah Cavender has a million followers on Instagram, probably more 379 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 2: on TikTok, yes, like a million. And there's also just 380 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: a Cavender Twins account that has another four hundred thousand followers, 381 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 2: and her sister's got like a million two. So like 382 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: they are, they are a walking billboard. And now that 383 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 2: one of the most famous college quarterbacks is dating one 384 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: of the most famous college basketball players, they make content together, 385 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: and so they're you gotta understand because I think a 386 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: lot of people are not going to feel sorry for 387 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 2: people with money who get robbed. That's just how it is. Like, yeah, 388 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 2: and I don't think anybody should. I don't think anybody 389 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 2: should feel sorry for them. I do think that people 390 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: should say, like, ah, that's not I think that they 391 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 2: should say, that's not a thing I want happening in 392 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 2: my country. You know, just people run around committing larceny 393 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 2: or grand theft or anything like that, and it can 394 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 2: be dangerous. We have the Sean Taylor situation, right. I 395 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 2: think that people should be able to look at that 396 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 2: and say, like, ay, as an American, even if you 397 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 2: have more stuff than somebody else. You deserve to have 398 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 2: that protection. You deserve to feel. 399 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: Safe, safety and that peace of mind that I can 400 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: just sit in my house or go to the go 401 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: to the damn grocery store, and or go out of 402 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: town to go play a game, and my issue is 403 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: gonna be there when I get back. 404 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but for every one athlete that gets robbed, ninety 405 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: nine work trucks are getting their catalytic converters jacked in 406 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: the middle of their driveway. Like we got a massive 407 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 2: issue in this country of people just stealing shit, right, 408 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 2: and now we have these like Chilean gang, Central American 409 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: gangs coming here. They don't care. This isn't their community, 410 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 2: this isn't their athletes that they need to protect. And 411 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 2: so you know, they're going around breaking into Joe Burrow's 412 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 2: house and posing in Chief's gear, you know, which is 413 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 2: what you talked about on that video, Like these guys 414 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 2: are just going around taking jewelry, taking cars and stuff 415 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: like that, and you say, like, all right, well you 416 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: got to be a little bit less flashy on social media. 417 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: The problem for collegiate athletes is they're supposed to be 418 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 2: It's the point of the nil benefits that they get 419 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: is that they capitalize on their skill set and popularity 420 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: to be a walking billboard for capitalism. The whole point 421 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: of Carson Beck having these cars is to convince you 422 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: that you need one too. 423 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: Yep.

But you know that when you 433 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 2: are a walking billboard for capitalism and you're not necessarily 434 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 2: flashing your well, but you got to show your stuff off. 435 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: You're expected to be a commercial for the stuff that 436 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 2: you've been entrusted with. So when you're doing that and 437 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 2: you got like people got to get smart. You should 438 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 2: post the day after you're in a place, yep, because 439 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 2: that's what that's. 440 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: Why I do that now.

Okay, So University of Florida, which 450 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: is like a top ten team this year, they're basketball coach, 451 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 2: was investigated for using Instagram's location settings to be in 452 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 2: the same place at the same time as some top 453 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: tier co eds at University of Florida, and the student 454 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: newspaper broke that he was under investigation for it. I 455 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 2: think ultimately he was found innocent.

Ralph 548 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,280 Speaker 1: has this story. 549 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 2: I do. I don't know how I feel about it, 550 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 2: and I'm really curious to get your take. I'm gonna 551 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 2: read the Zach Barnett article from football scoop because it 552 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 2: was the most in depth one that I could find 553 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 2: right now. And so here we go. Six members of 554 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 2: East Mississippi Community College, the football team that was the 555 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 2: subject of the first two seasons of the hit Netflix 556 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 2: series Last Chance You have fought the lawsuit against the 557 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 2: streaming giant, the school, Condon Entertainment, the show's director, and 558 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 2: the NJCAA over their portrayal in the series and their 559 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 2: lack of compensation for what they say was forced participation. 560 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 2: And I think that's the most interesting part of this 561 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 2: lawsuit because they're alleging that their reputation took a hit, 562 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 2: that they're having a hard time getting jobs now, and 563 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 2: ultimately that they were not fairly compensated. But the thing 564 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 2: that they think is like the thing that would win 565 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 2: them a settlement in this lawsuit is I guess they're 566 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 2: claiming that if they had not agreed to be part 567 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 2: of the TV show, that they would have been kicked 568 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 2: off the team. So the players, you might recognize some 569 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 2: of the names, John Franklin, IID okay, Ronald Allie. Oh 570 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:48,879 Speaker 2: we're talking football, Yeah yeah, last time to the East 571 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 2: Mississippi seasons the first two years. Okay, I think Ronald 572 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 2: Allie was probably one of the big stars of the show, 573 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 2: and then John Franklin the third had been a bounce 574 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 2: back from Auburn, or he might have ended up at Auburn, 575 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 2: but they both hit the NFL. But other people, Tim Bonner, 576 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 2: Isaiah Wright, DeAndre Johnson, CJ. Reveis they are all in 577 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 2: on this lawsuit, and what they're saying is they weren't 578 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 2: given the proper amount of time to review the contracts 579 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 2: that they signed. They were threatened with being expelled from 580 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 2: the team if they didn't participate on the show and 581 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 2: they didn't receive a cut of the merchandise at the 582 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 2: community called sold following the show and right, Ollie and 583 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 2: Franklin also alleged that their reputations were damaged after being 584 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 2: portrayed in a false light. I don't know if you 585 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 2: remember this, but I think Ronald Ollie is the one 586 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 2: who straight up asked a college coach to pay him 587 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 2: under the table on camera. 588 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 589 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 2: So, but as far as their reputations being damaged, last 590 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 2: chance you the entire premise of the show was that 591 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 2: these are all players with like limited capital as far 592 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 2: as their reputation goes. 593 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, or that they you know, academically struggled, had some 594 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: families like anything. So first of all, the reputation thing 595 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: absolutely not. Now they do have. Now you can be 596 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: edited a certain way where you look like a jerk. Right, 597 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so I understand how TV works and all 598 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: of that stuff, so that can absolutely happen. But here 599 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 1: is where I do think that they are that they 600 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: may have some grievance, not necessarily legally, but especially for 601 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: the first season of Last Chance You, because this is 602 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: how it works in reality television. Your first season. So 603 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: I go, let's say that you start out on the 604 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: Housewives franchise. You're gonna be paid about ten thousand dollars 605 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: per episode. Like this is real life stuff like this 606 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,720 Speaker 1: is not made up. This is for like a regular jointee, 607 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: not in for celebrity joints, Like if a regular person joints, 608 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: You're gonna be paid about ten thousand dollars an episode. 609 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: If you get picked up the next season, you're gonna 610 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: be making about twenty thousand dollars an episode. Third season, 611 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna be making about one hundred thousand plus per episode. 612 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: You can be making up to a million dollars per 613 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: episode if you are if you turn into one of 614 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 1: the most popular people on the show. And with Last 615 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: Chance You being that these players weren't on for multiple seasons, 616 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 1: it was the franchise that grew. So no, you weren't 617 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: gonna be paid a lot your first season because it's 618 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: essentially a trial and you don't make money from it 619 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,919 Speaker 1: like that. And the people that made it didn't make 620 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 1: money like that from the first season. They made more 621 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: money the second season. And I bet you they paid 622 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: the players more the second season. So that's kind of 623 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: how it works. And this is probably why we're not 624 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: seeing Last Chance You anymore right now? Is wait? Good? 625 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 2: This is this is twenty fifteen team twenty sixteen. I know, 626 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 2: were the players even allowed to be compensated, wouldn't that 627 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 2: have affected their eligibility? 628 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: Ooh, that's a good point, Ralph, that's a good point, 629 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: and exactly, And and I would imagine there had to 630 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: be some legal restrictions on this because you couldn't use 631 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: your nil or anything. So like, yes, I would, being 632 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: that you brought up that point, I need my coins, 633 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: I do, I do. 634 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 2: Okay, So I was gonna save this for last but 635 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 2: I want you to guess what do you think the 636 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 2: monetary ask is from this group of players and their 637 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 2: legal representation. 638 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,399 Speaker 1: Oh shit, bro, it's something outrageous. 639 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 2: Oh, thirty million, thirty million. 640 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,439 Speaker 1: Dollars for for how many people. 641 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 2: Six for just the twenty fifteen season of the show. 642 00:40:53,520 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: Yeah all right, yeah, yeah, I get it. 643 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 2: There is that. I mean, they're just asking for a 644 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 2: settlement or they're trying to create a situation with Discovery 645 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 2: where they have to turn over the financials. 646 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, show the figure out what actually they were going 647 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: to ask for a number that Like when when people 648 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: want money from lawsuits and all that stuff, they don't 649 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: ask for the amount of money they actually want. They 650 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: ask for the amount of money that will make you 651 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,240 Speaker 1: settle for like three million dollars and they'll be like, okay, 652 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:37,439 Speaker 1: we'll we'll all take three hundred thousand and go away. Yeah. 653 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 2: What I wonder about is if their ability to even 654 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 2: reach any type of settlement will be limited by the 655 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 2: fact that all of these players have probably given ten 656 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 2: dozen interviews on their experience with Last Chance You, and 657 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 2: my guess is most of them talked about it in 658 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 2: a semi positive light. 659 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 660 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never heard anything about the players from Last 661 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 2: Chance you talking about it publicly being a negative experience 662 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 2: until right now. So my guess is probably in the 663 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 2: best interest of one of these parties because they named Netflix. 664 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,800 Speaker 2: I mean, so I've been sued before. I've been sued before, 665 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 2: and the person who sued me named Yahoo in the lawsuit. 666 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:29,240 Speaker 1: Are you serious? 667 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, like like Yahoo dot com, like the billion dollar company, 668 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 2: because they figured like somebody would just want to be like, 669 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 2: all right, go away. 670 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 671 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 2: It was ultimately dropped, But my guess is naming Netflix. 672 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 2: Condon asked all these people, is this a pretty wide 673 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 2: ranging money grab situation? Because at the end of the day, 674 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 2: lawyer is going to take half. Governments can take half 675 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 2: of that. So you get your thirty million. You're talking 676 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 2: about maybe one point five take home for each of 677 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 2: these six players. 678 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly. There's no way they're getting thirty million. 679 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: There's no way they're getting millions from this. It didn't 680 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 1: take thirty million dollars to make them. Like here's the 681 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: thing that people don't understand about Netflix stuff. Is that Netflix. 682 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 1: So like, let's say I make last chance you Netflix 683 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 1: pays me a fee to license it to them, or 684 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 1: they outright by it. It wasn't gonna be for thirty 685 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: million dollars. That's what I'm saying, Like, there's no way 686 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 1: that there was a uh. 687 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 2: Well, no show on Earth unless it comes with a 688 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,240 Speaker 2: big director and a big actor and it's like ordered 689 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 2: by the actual streaming service. The concept is ordered, not 690 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 2: the actual show. Nobody makes money in season one, Yeah, exactly. 691 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 2: So they're asking for money from seasons two through five 692 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,959 Speaker 2: plus the basketball ones. Yeah for what happened in season one. 693 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: Yes, ain't no way. Yeah yeah, all right. The next 694 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: thing up, mister Ralph, this one. I don't think that 695 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 1: people thought that this was going to do. Yeah, I 696 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,359 Speaker 1: don't think that this is what people wanted to do. 697 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: Well when they voted for President Trump and they knew 698 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 1: that that you were going to be kicking people out 699 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: of the country. I don't think that they meant because 700 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: because you've seen those those dudes that that they've been 701 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: they've been going to the website of people who've been 702 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: detained by Ice and they're like, hold on, hold up, no, no, no, 703 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: not her, send her back, she can she can stay. 704 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 2: That's my nanny from Uruguay. 705 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the other ones are like no, no, no, no, 706 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 1: not the not the punters. Who the hell are we 707 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: gonna have put the damn football. So punters are having 708 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: their what their visas and work stuff like all jacked 709 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,919 Speaker 1: up now, so some of them may end up having 710 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 1: to leave. 711 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 2: Yes, that so that's part of That's part of what's 712 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 2: happening right now, is that, like, if you are importing 713 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 2: labor of any kind, including college football, things are going 714 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 2: to get a little more difficult than than they've been 715 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,919 Speaker 2: in the past. But the real thing going on right 716 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:37,359 Speaker 2: now with with the Australia to America punter pipeline is 717 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 2: that some of these dudes already went to college, which 718 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 2: means their eligibility clock already started. So the the scandal 719 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 2: isn't so much the idea that we're not going to 720 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 2: be able to import talent. The scandal is that some 721 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 2: of these teams that imported talent and got guys that 722 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:07,320 Speaker 2: were completely out of eligibility. So there was a seven 723 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:12,439 Speaker 2: month investigation conducted by Fox twenty nine in San Antonio, 724 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 2: a local television station in San Antonio, Texas. They investigated 725 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 2: the pipeline for kickers and punters from Australia into college 726 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 2: football programs and they ended up finding out that, like 727 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 2: some of these guys, they were lied about, you know, 728 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 2: like the way that some handlers lie about a minor 729 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 2: league baseball player's age. 730 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: Yes, they were. 731 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,520 Speaker 2: Lied about about whether or not they actually started university 732 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 2: in Australia. Because some of these Australian punters they are 733 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 2: like twenty eight thirty years old. 734 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, these are grown as punters and they're 735 00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 1: getting groomed out there. So here, here's the thing, Ralph, 736 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: is that people don't always factor in that all of that, 737 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,279 Speaker 1: the political things out in the world are going to 738 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 1: factor into their their sports. I want an Australia, I 739 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 1: want a I want a good punter at Oregon, and 740 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,280 Speaker 1: I want a good punt if I were an NFL, 741 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,720 Speaker 1: if I had an NFL team like that, I want 742 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 1: the best punter available. And if they got to come 743 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 1: from Australia, so be it, let him in. I will 744 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: lobby on that individual person's behalf. But that's the issue, 745 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,439 Speaker 1: is that people want these individual exceptions for the things 746 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: that matter most in their life, and that's not how 747 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 1: it works. Be Like I love my nanny from like 748 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: like like you said, I love my nanny from Uruguay. 749 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 1: She's a good person and all this stuff, and there's 750 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: been so much disinformation and misinformation talking about these that 751 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 1: undocumented people. They're like, oh my god, they're sucking from 752 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 1: the and this is this, and yes there are people 753 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,280 Speaker 1: from here and there, from other countries that are sucking 754 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,319 Speaker 1: from the system. But the reality is they paid over 755 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: ninety billion dollars in taxes last year. 756 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 2: What I'm just saying so at the heart of this 757 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,919 Speaker 2: is an organization called Pro Kick Australia. So just give 758 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 2: you a couple of examples of some of the stuff 759 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 2: that they've done, pretty run of the mill fraud. In 760 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 2: one case, an athlete's real transcript from Australian school showed 761 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:33,919 Speaker 2: failing grades. However the transcript submitted for NCAA eligibility had 762 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 2: significantly higher grades. There's one student that that I think 763 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 2: had this said. There was a kid that actually outed himself. 764 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 2: They sat down, he sat down with his advisor and said, 765 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 2: you need to take these classes in these classes, and 766 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 2: the guy responded, I already took that at university. And 767 00:48:54,719 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 2: the college was like, what you've already gone to college. 768 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 1: Bro, No, no, no, oh my mm hmm, just keep 769 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: your mouth shut. Fam. 770 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 2: So I guess one of the complaints was I bet 771 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 2: you anything. I bet you anything. Because it's very weird 772 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 2: that a television station in San Antonio is the one 773 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 2: that uncovered an international scandal. My guess is somebody who 774 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 2: is a punter handler in the United States tipped off, 775 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,799 Speaker 2: like handed, everything that these reporters need directly to. 776 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like like the John Carney kicking school or something. 777 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: It's like, you ain't gonna keep messing up our players. 778 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,800 Speaker 2: Get Yeah the hell, I'm gonna read you a quote 779 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 2: from the story, right, So there's a guy named Mike McCabe, 780 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 2: and my guess is Mike McCabe was maybe known to 781 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,880 Speaker 2: this reporter before they started the investigation, because here's a 782 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,839 Speaker 2: quote that Mike McCabe gave. Renowned Special Teams coach Mike 783 00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 2: mccaby voiced frustration over pro Kicks recruitment practices and their 784 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,880 Speaker 2: impact on the US market. The punting market in the 785 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,720 Speaker 2: United States has dropped fifty four percent, said Mike McCabe. 786 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: H what the punting market. But okay, I. 787 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 2: Guess just guys you get from the United States. 788 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, or just the amount of scholarships that have gone 789 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 1: to people from foreign you know, foreign born. 790 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, this is this is literal like they took 791 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 2: our jobs.
