Speaker 2: how they achieve their success little by little, day after day.

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: It's like banking with P and C Bank. It might

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: seem boring to save, plan and make calculated decisions with

Speaker 2: Member FDIC.

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Business Show where we like sports, So I want to

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: start with a question that's related to both sports and business, true,

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: and I want to talk about college sports and what's

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: happening with college sports. It looks like it's new pro league,

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 3: right when you look at the transfer portal, that's very

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: It looks like free agency, which you don't even have

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: a con You could just leave it any point in time, right, right.

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: But then I also want to talk about nil collectives.

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: So they're saying John Caliparry is going to start with

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: at least five million dollars, and a lot of people

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: aren't really familiar with the NIO collective. They heard about

44
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: nil deals, but it's like the NIO Collective, a bunch

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: of essentially correct me if from all, like a bunch

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: of wealthy boosters can just come together and just pull

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: up a pool of money and just you know, give kids.

48
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: It's like a way to pay players under the gaze

49
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: of nil and not it be illegal. Right, So so

50
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 3: much has changed over the last eighteen months, So what's

51
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: your thoughts on those two things?

52
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: Specifically? Doesn't bother me at all.

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 4: And the more headaches it causes for the NCUBA, the

54
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: more headaches it calls for particular programs, the better I feel.

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 4: You've spent decades exploiting these athletes under the cloak of amateurism,

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 4: and I would have respected it more if it were

57
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 4: applicable to you as well, if you were a coach,

58
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: if you were an administration and you didn't benefit offered

59
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 4: the exploits of the athletes, then I'm down for it.

60
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 4: But that's not what has happened. We've had coaches having

61
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: a myriad of ways to generate revenue for themselves, clinics, coaching,

62
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 4: summertime salaries, they've earned speaking engagements, et cetera, et cetera.

63
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: We've seen the athletes perform, and we've seen the money

64
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 4: come back to the universities.

65
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: And what do they do?

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: They funnel it throughout the universities. The administrators get a

67
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: little bit more, the chancellors, the provosts, the presidents, they

68
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: get a little bit more. Different other programs within the

69
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 4: school that are non revenue generating sports, they benefit from it.

70
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 4: But the very athlete who went out there and perform

71
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: and generate this level of interest is somebody that you

72
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 4: couldn't find it within yourself to ensure that you would.

73
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: You would, they would be compensated in some capacity. And

74
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: the reason why it resonates with me so profoundly is because,

75
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: you know, I remember when Chris Webber Fab five Michigan

76
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 4: and those guys were complaining about stuff and whatever, and

77
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 4: you have these folks on the having you know, under

78
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 4: the mentality, you know you're getting a scholarship. You getting

79
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 4: a scholarship, You should be happy, but they were never happy.

80
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: And how much of a stickler you were if folks

81
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 4: got flights home. In Chris Webber's case, you going into

82
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 4: a bookstore and you seeing a uniform a jersey with

83
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 4: your name on it, but if the store gave it

84
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: to you for free as a violation, you know, stuff

85
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: like that. You know that you're getting a vast majority

86
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: of these high profile athletes from desolate environments and backgrounds,

87
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 4: and you're telling them they can't fly home for the holidays,

88
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: they can't get a car, they can't you know, you

89
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: couldn't even rent them a car.

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: Whatever.

91
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 4: It might have been a violation. So those kind of things,

92
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 4: you would think they would have had the decency to

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: be a bit lax and to understand with all the

94
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 4: money that these athletes were generating that, you know what,

95
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: you could turn a blond out of certain things. All right,

96
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 4: If the guy wanted to go home for the holidays,

97
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: let him go. If somebody wants to come, if the

98
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: parents want to be flown in for you know, to

99
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 4: be with him for Christmas because he can't you know,

100
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: he can't go home and see him.

101
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: All right, we could turn the blinder. You didn't do

102
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: any of that.

103
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: You kept you would dog it in restricting what the

104
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: athletes can get.

105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: So now that's not the case.

106
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: You know, you read what yourself and the headaches that

107
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 4: come with it, the coaches that can't take it. Cal

108
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: no doubt is leaving Kentucky in part because of that.

109
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: Nick Saban, no doubt retired because of.

110
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: That, because of that, because of what.

111
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: An IL transfer, a portal of the combination of it all,

112
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: and what kind of case it's caused, because it's relinquished

113
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 4: the degree of control from them. Nick Saban told me

114
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 4: that personally, we could he was before he retired. He

115
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 4: was complaining about what a headache it was. You're talking

116
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 4: about agents that are treating He felt like they were

117
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: damnar in bezzling you know, money, you know from universities

118
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 4: and stuff. You know what they were doing. Those were

119
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: his That was his terminology. He was completely turned off

120
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 4: and utterly disgusted as to how things had transformed and

121
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 4: how it changed. And I didn't blame him. I didn't

122
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: think he was wrong. I was just saying the NCAA

123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: brought it on themselves because of how they were. So

124
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: if these athletes find a way now to get paid,

125
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 4: more power to him.

126
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: More power to him.

127
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: It's interesting because I was kind of thinking that it's

128
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 2: like that transition of the old model, because even for

129
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: Cal his model was the one and done. So to

130
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: see the one that done not work Now, I'm like, well,

131
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: what was really changed? And if you're going from a

132
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: place like Kentucky with his a boatload of boosters right

133
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: endless money right and going to and that's CC school

134
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: like Arkansas where there are boosters but.

135
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: They got some money now, but they have football.

136
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying that they have the football component.

137
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: But Kentucky's been playing well over the past couple of years.

138
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: That change is happening with the coaches, you said, Saban,

139
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: I've thought about guys like Roy Williams and like these

140
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: older guys who had came in with a system both

141
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: in college and foot I mean college basketball and football,

142
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: to where you see new guys coach prime exceeding at

143
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: this because he's able to adjust and get back to

144
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: even like a Dan Hurley now, who's just just one.

145
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: It's more about the players and figured out. It's transfer portal,

146
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: it's nil, it's all these things.

147
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: Well, the first first thing we're gonna do as we

148
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: sit down here right now, is we're gonna define what

149
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: your definition and success is. Okay, because let me tell

150
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: you something, cal ain't been successful.

151
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: Not in recent memory. You got four over the last

152
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: four years. I'm a Kentucky right well.

153
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: Success and I'm telling you they've been bounced out in

154
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: the first round twice. Oakland fourteen ced, Yes, what's to

155
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 4: Saint Peter's the fifteen seed and then didn't and then

156
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 4: went to the second round loss. Hasn't been to the

157
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: sweet sixteen and four years didn't make the NCAA tournament. Okay,

158
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: So you're at Kentucky, which is blue blood? Okay, we

159
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: know what huh.

160
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: Can we throw away that turn?

161
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:14,480

164
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 4: Lengthy period of time in which your dominant shines, where

165
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 4: you're relevant. You're a big time program. You know, you're

166
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: constantly in the mix for national titles. The level of

167
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: notoriety you gain is different from what the average school gets.

168
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: Like for example, Villanova's won a couple of national championships.

169
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: We want to talk about Villanova in that regard. Georgetown

170
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: won back in the day. We want to talk about

171
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 4: them in that regard. North Carolina has been relevant since

172
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: the sixties seventies. Duke has been relevant since new Krzyzewski

173
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 4: arribbed in the eighties. Bill self had Kansas relevant since

174
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 4: the eighties. Kentucky with Patino ad of Rope obviously before him,

175
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: but then Patino Tubby Smith. Now you got Colli Party

176
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 4: in twenty twelve, he wins a national title. Those are

177
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 4: the kind of that that when you're talking about blue Blood,

178
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 4: you're talking about programs essentially that could recruit itself. You

179
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 4: mentioned that program and everybody you know, you you come

180
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 4: knocking on somebody's door, They're gonna open that door and

181
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 4: listen to what you have to say. A lot of

182
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 4: schools heard, No, not those programs. That's all I mean by.

183
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: That, right, So, like A, UCLA was sitting there even

184
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: though they haven't won since ny.

185
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: You CLA hasn't won since ninety five. CA's won.

186
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: UCLA hasn't won since nineteen ninety five. You consider them

187
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 4: that out West because of John Wooden.

188
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: What they've done and what in.

189
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: Bill Walton, Kareem abdujaball those kinds of things, the know,

190
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,800

191
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 4: Westbrook well fourteens, Okay, because you look at it from

192
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 4: that standpoint, You'll look at it from there. But that's

193
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. Kentucky's in that line and so,

194
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: and not only that. Part of it is not worrying

195
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 4: about the finances because your alumni base and the money

196
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: that's funneled into the program is not something that you

197
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: have to concern yourself with because the school's all always

198
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: be people to take care of those folks. That's Kentucky, Duke,

199
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: North Carolina, u CLA, Kansas.

200
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,240

Speaker 1: A financial absolutely because the absolutely.

203
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,480

00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: that football brings a majority of the money for these schools.

205
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: Duke is an exception in a sense, you're talking about

206
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:22,480
