You know, it just shows up where it 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:08.640 shows up. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.319 It was Lee's birthday a couple of days ago, and 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.640 I think that extended into the next stuff forty eight hours. 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:19.679 I mean, it's just interesting that it's always the usual, 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.800 like our voices are connected to it, our back ends 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.320 connects like we're. 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.520 The bad news. But what are you getting at? I mean, 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:27.960 I just told. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.560 You and you gotta you can't. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:35.000 It can't be anything other than what you are. Are 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.760 you saying we are the playing games Fox Sports? 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.520 In my mind, I was sitting there like it's a 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.440 great segue into playing games. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.680 I mean, but you know, I don't know. In the end, 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.920 the Bad News Beers did end up winning, so there's that, 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.520 you know, But god, dang, they was the bad News 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.240 Beers all the way up to it. Yeah. Yeah, a 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.720 lot of whiffs before then, a lot of strikeout shouts 0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.240 out to Dallas. They won something. Huh, they did some thing. 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.320 Hey, they look good, man, I mean, I know people 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.400 are maybe sleeping on them, but they look good. I 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.040 could see them being sneakily kind of going on a 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.040 little bit of a run. 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:09.640 You think. 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:17.000 Yeah, the West, Yeah yeah, Anthony Davis can play. The 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.720 problem is how for how long? 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.320 Yeah? 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:21.280 Look, that's what I'm saying. 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.600 If he's healthy and Clay some of the other pieces 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.600 they have on that team. Man, they've got some guys 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.840 who've been able to navigate through the playoffs and have 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.200 won championships before. Man, I'm telling you that could be 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:35.239 a dangerous combination. 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:39.399 Yeah, I doubt it that one. Ain't going that that's 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.160 going to be a short lived you know. It's because 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.799 it's short lived. Story is because it's Dallas. No, it's 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.520 because the West is pretty loaded, man, and they're just 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.040 not going to be able to run that one. I 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.600 don't see it. I mean, it's possible, clearly, I'm not 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.040 I'm not. I'm not an expert. So Q could come 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.280 out being you know, correct on it. But I don't 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.960 see it though. I just think that if you're going 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:04.760 to look at one of the playing teams out of 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:08.480 the West again, I'm I'm mistaking my I'm putting my 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:13.360 ten toes down on the mountain, on the hill of 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.360 the Golden State Warriors. That's That's what I'm gonna do 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:17.840 out of the play in teams. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.000 But they would have to play each other for a while. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.280 So yeah, well, I don't see that being a hit 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.000 to hit. I'm not saying that way. I'm just saying 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.760 the team that I could see making a run out 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.880 of the playing games would be Golden State. 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.120 It's hard for me to get excited about playing playing tournaments, 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.040 and it just look to me the NBA playoffs, for 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.120 the most part, we've had a couple of you know, 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.840 lower seeded eight and seven teams that have that have 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.480 beaten a one or a two seed a few times 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.280 in the history of the postseason. It feels like the playoffs, 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.640 outside of a four or five matchup and occasional six', 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.800 three doesn't start until the second. 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:55.960 ROUND i, mean these seven. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.600 Game series with your one eights and your two, Sevens it's, like, 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:01.960 dude can we speed this up or at least make 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.160 it more, intriguing make them a three game, series so 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.840 at least if the lower seed gets, one you put 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.040 everybody else on high alert that there could be an. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:10.960 Upset BUT i just. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.040 CAN'T i can't get excited about it until the second 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.760 round for the most, part is what it. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.359 Is that's the way it. Goes so. 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.680 Congratulations we'll find out what the final matchups are going 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.159 to be after these next couple of games get, going 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.359 and then we can all look forward, to you, know 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.040 hopefully getting past his first round quick get to the second, 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.919 round and then we can get to the teams that 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.560 are actual title contenders as opposed to some of these playing. 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:39.920 Teams but. 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:46.039 There is the discussion that is still going, on but 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.599 apparently it's coming to an. End in the world of. 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:54.640 Sports nico has made a. Decision Not Nico, harrison all, 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:59.200 right not. Him every Time i'm going to try this out, Again, 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:06.800 NIKO i stop saying. It avaam has, apparently according to. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.960 The to rename. Him i'm leaving, you. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.040 And for some strange, REASON i could say that way 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.120 easier than what the real way of. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:21.080 Saying he is reportedly is going to be A Ucla. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:26.280 Bruin and apparently this according To Colin, cowherd who sent 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.080 this tweet out, yesterday that the family is still saying this. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:30.559 Is not about. 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.320 Money it had nothing to do with. Money it was 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.599 all about The Tennessee volunteers. Offense and so he finds 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:40.800 himself reportedly In. Westwood he will be A Ucla. Bruin 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.120 but again it's got nothing to do with money at all, 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.080 whatsoever and definitely not the four million dollars that was 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.280 reported they were asking for when he was making two 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.600 million a change already With tennessee set for this upcoming, 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:53.120 Year so. 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.680 He's going to play for? Free is that what you're? 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.920 Saying it's going to go there and be closer. 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:57.120 To home and all. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.520 That it's not money just so everybody, knows ye playing for, 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.360 free but he is playing for less money and the 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:04.120 taxes are. 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.880 Higher so there's. That, yeah it. 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.560 Was it was a losing proposition all the way. Around 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.880 not only would he made more money to your point 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.559 too at the, taxes but now he's in a different, 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.360 system not on a team that's as. TALENTED i, mean 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.919 if you look At tennessee last, year which qualified for 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.800 The College Football, playoff and by the, way mind, you 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.920 and then this is not to be a slight On Niko, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.720 iamaliava but there's been a string of quarterbacks who have got, 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.640 drafted who've been put up big numbers. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.640 There he did not play that. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.800 Well that was a defensive led, team that was a 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.200 team that could tote the rock. TOO i would, say 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:41.960 if you're looking at one of the weaker parts of their, 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.800 team it was the inconsistency in the passing. Game so 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.560 not only are there those kind of struggles from, that 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.360 but now he goes to a lesser, team he's not 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.400 getting paid as, much and he's gonna be playing having 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.760 an uphill, battle playing in a conference where you, know 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.279 at least they were one of the top teams in THE. 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.960 Sec that's not the case FOR. Ucla you, know they 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.520 kind of feel at times like they're a bit of a. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.279 Doormat now they turn things around second half of last, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.680 season but it's going to be an uphill battle in 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.920 so many different ways for, him and it's. Unfortunate and 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.560 whether or not his his, team whether it's his, family 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.120 whether it's his, agent wants to admit. It this was 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.840 an absolute disaster and it's probably a good thing for 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.160 a lot of other players out there in college football 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:28.800 that can hopefully appreciate the opportunities they've, gotten understand that 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.920 the grass is not always, greener and try to you, 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.640 know what's the saying that, levars you, know be where 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:35.840 your feet are or stand where your fet a. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.600 Or whatever something to that. Effect, yeah be. Present being 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.640 present is being where your feet. Are, yeah that's. YEAH 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.320 i mean why try to be somewhere where you're not 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.120 be at where your feet. At be at where your feet. At, 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.840 see that's what happens when you take time, off you 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.960 know WHAT i? Mean you get rusky with your delivery 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.000 talking about how is? Smooth then they sound a little bit. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:57.960 Capta that's not a real. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.280 Thing all. 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.800 Right, no All i'm gonna say Is i'm happy for 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:09.520 Coach foster because while people may rain down on The 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.920 Nico i'm leaving you, parade you, know on his, camp 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:18.040 the kid can play, ball and people can have their 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.800 opinions about him and how good and how well he 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.880 can play, Ball but the guy can play Some he 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.440 can play, football and he was dealing at times last 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.880 year For tennessee and probably would have had another good, 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.920 year good season under them this season if he were 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.160 still to be. There, now you go into a program 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.160 where they they have needed to be able to get 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.800 a break in order to have the opportunity to get 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.320 a player of his, caliber you, know wanting to come 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.520 there and play a position of such the magnitude of 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:58.240 what the quarterback's position. Is, so you, know opportunity created 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:03.000 an or circumstance that's created an opportunity for u c L. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.560 A u c L a is not a major player 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.840 in the NI l. Space you're not going to get 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.800 u c L a for academic, purposes just as well 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:17.280 as just available funding for NI l for. Football you're 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.280 just not going to get elite level, offers elite level. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.480 Money in, fact even prior to N I L you're 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.360 not going to get A you're you're only going to 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.280 get a certain level of player because of the academic 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.040 requirements that they place on the guys that they bring in. 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.160 There so it's like kind of like guys go TO 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.280 usc that don't go to u c L. A and 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.800 if you understand like the politics of what goes on 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.880 at u c L, a you'd understand like it's kind 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.920 of like they run things almost like A Ivy league 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.640 type level school. Academically SO i think it's a great 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:58.200 gift For Deshaun. WATSON i don't, know fossil, student this Is. Deshaun, 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:04.760 geez he's where AM i right? Now thank you for 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.520 that save QU i think it's a great gift for 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:13.400 Coach foster and damn. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.199 Keep him away from the towns. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:21.440 To worry. 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.040 About, yeah it, does H BUT i think this is 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:26.959 a great gift for u c L. A and if 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.520 they were going to be a pretty good team going 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:34.120 into this, SEASON i think you can actually, say based 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:38.679 upon the circumstances that That Nico i'm leaving you is 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.040 is living under. NOW i think they're gonna get his 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.880 best version because he's going to be on you, know 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.480 he's going to be on guard to everything that's taking. 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.080 Place there's gonna be a lot of, criticism a lot of, 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.280 scrutiny a lot of coverage that comes his way because 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.880 what he did kind of transcends just playing the. Game 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.640 it has open in the conversation two larger pieces of 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.720 what's going on in college football and sports all. Together 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.839 SO i think that it's a it's an advantageous opportunity 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.920 For nico to try to redeem himself and maybe repair 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.000 his image with what's taking place as of. Late and 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.720 it's a great opportunity FOR ucla to be a better 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.199 program with what would be considered to be a top 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:29.360 elite type of quarterback on their on their. Roster and 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.160 it's not going to cost him a whole. Lot, apparently, 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.200 well they got. It they got him on the. Cheap 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.440 they got it was like two hundred and fifty less 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:37.080 or something like. 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.320 That they got him on a discount. Level what was 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:40.679 it like. 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.120 Almost, well the number of the FIGURE i saw was 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:48.280 one point seventy five and he was scheduled to make 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:48.839 two point. 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.079 Six so he's almost a million sure of what he 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:51.400 would have. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.720 Made and that's not including to your earlier point. Taxes 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.080 by the, Way nico was like maybe top ten in 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.920 THE sec last, year like as far as yards and all. That, 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.360 again going back to the, point you really didn't play overly, 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.240 Well now he's joining in an offense IN ucla that 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.200 was one hundred and twenty sixth in scoring last. 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.240 Year there were one hundred and seventh in the country 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.920 in sacks. Allowed so the protection AND i know that 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:15.320 was like an. 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.320 ISSUE i think that came up in some of these reports, 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.000 too is, that, hey it's not AN nfl, Systems, like, 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.439 well you knew that. 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:20.920 On your way. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:25.040 In Joe milton got, Drafted Hendon hooker got. Drafted there's 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.840 been other quarterbacks who've gone To tennessee and gotten. Drafted 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:33.000 so it's not like that's held against those. Quarterbacks if 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.719 that was your concern or that's part of the rationale 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.120 for why you, Left you've gotten guys to THE nfl 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.320 level and they've put up good. Stats and mind, you 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.199 there's plenty of other quarterbacks that have played in systems 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.440 that AREN'T nfl systems and have also gotten. Drafted so 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.840 if that was part of the, rationale it doesn't make any. 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:55.040 Sense and again going back to the initial. Point he 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.600 hasn't even performed to a point where you felt confident 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.439 about him to be able to go somewhere, else learn 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.880 a new, system learn new, chemistry develop all those, things 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.840 and now he's doing it with lesser pieces around him 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.160 in a league that arguably you'd say they're at at 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:10.680 the bottom of the league or one of the teams 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.360 at the. Bottom SO i just FEEL i feel bad 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.440 for the young man because at some point you've got 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.880 to make your own decisions in, life and this is 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.520 one WHERE i don't know who was in his, ear 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:25.319 AND i know that someone made some anonymous report or 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.080 someone close to the family WHATEVER i believe On Front Office, 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.319 sports which if that's even, Credible but the truth of 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.559 the matter is he should have stood up and, Said i'm, 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.200 good like my payday is coming after this year WHEN 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.240 i go to THE. Nfl and unfortunately now it's, like 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.760 we'll see how this year. Goes but maybe he's a 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.719 couple of years now from leaving and be able to 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.480 go to get draft in THE. Nfl who knows how 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:47.200 this whole thing's gonna. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.480 Shakeout so he's in a worse, situation and he took 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.839 what like a seven hundred thousand dollars pay cut in 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.320 less than a, week and now he's Got, yeah now 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:01.199 he's just got to kind of it feels like with anything, 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.839 new there's got to be something that's the example of 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.599 what not to, do and he's the example of what 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.160 not to. Do like he's the one that all right, 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.319 now everybody kind of has an. Understanding AND i do 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.439 wonder if there's probably coaches and programs that are that 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.920 are pointing to, this going, hey, guys just so you, 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.480 know like this is how things could turn really badly for. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.280 You you could go from AN sec quarterback and at 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.840 a great program who was a playoff team a year ago. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.280 TO ucla like. 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:35.960 That this is limited to such a small minute number 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:41.920 of players for this to even apply. To this is 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:46.240 not going to apply to anyone else but qbs at 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:52.080 major major universities and. Receivers that's about. It that's about. 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.600 It that's who this is limited. To you're not going 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.520 to see it take place with anybody. Else you could 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.480 be as gifted a football player on the defensive side 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.920 of the, ball not going to. Happen you could be 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.160 as gifted as you'd like to be on the offensive 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:08.720 line it's not going to happen running, back same, thing tight, 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:13.280 end forget about. It if you're quarterback at AN sec, 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:19.000 school A big ten, school maybe in some instances AN acc, 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:26.000 school you have the ability to possibly push the envelope 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:31.840 on these types of. Conversations not saying that negotiations don't 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.200 exist for the other. 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:34.960 Positions it's just not the. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.520 Same AND i think one thing that we got to 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.440 make sure we're clear on in this, scenario AND i 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.280 was listening To kurt Herb street and what he had 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.320 to say ABOUT nil With pat, McAfee AND i thought 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.080 it was very very well put in thought, out is 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:55.600 that this is turning into negotiations against schools and. Players 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.360 in this, instance you're looking At nico getting into a 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:07.520 a negotiation Between tennessee and himself when in, REALITY nil 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.240 is in place for you to benefit with your, name your, 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.600 image and your. Likeness that's that's getting money through your. 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:20.640 Collective that's that's doing, appearances that's that's MAKING i, Mean 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:21.960 i'm just saying that's that's what it. 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:26.600 Was, well this is WHY i wouldn't include the collectives 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.720 is part of. IT i think the collectives are part 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.760 of the issue because the. Collectives by and, large how 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:38.600 they've operated are groups of boosters who are essentially taking 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.120 private money and being able, to you, know help compensate 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.440 and create opportunities for players and that in that, fashion 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.520 and they're doing it for the university because there wasn't 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.480 pay for plash sure or pay to, play which the 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.480 truth is is, like that's what it's always been since 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.000 it's been, enacted and even before, that when teams and 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:58.920 boosters are paying kids under the. 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:00.760 Table it's all aways been paid to. 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.920 Play, like if we want to take anil step, further 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.480 what's always bothered me about it is if you're not, 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.440 playing you're not getting. Paid so even if you want 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.000 to try to, say, well, oh it's really about marketing, dollars, 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.879 Right it's really about those opportunities to promote brands or do, 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.959 commercials or do social media postings and do appearances and all. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.560 That does anyone care about you if you're not, playing 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.199 if you're not out there, performing if you're not one 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:31.639 of the best. Players, No, so in, essence it's always 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:36.240 really been about getting paid because you. Play but we 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.920 we created this world in which we had to create 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.720 loopholes and other ways in which we could find ways 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.680 of you, know getting players money that was within the 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.359 rules of you know what was passed by The Supreme. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.760 Court i've said this and will always say. THIS nil 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:53.560 has never been. 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.520 Sustainable the way it was created and the way it's 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.600 been implemented wasn't the initial. Purpose but the problem with 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.960 the initial purposes you're kind of putting the cart before the. 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.800 Horse it always should have been a rev. Share it 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.720 always should have been THE tv money that these conferences 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.840 and schools were getting were shared with those student athletes 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.920 who are the ones actually earning. It and then you 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.240 could have IMPLEMENTED nil and you could have, said these 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.840 marketing dollars from name your apparel, company under, Armor, nike 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.600 whoever it's, created or name, whatever a sports, dring whatever 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.760 else it, is then that comes as part of, it 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.920 because that's the professional. Model look at THE, nfl look 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.480 at THE, nba look at all these other professional. Leagues 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:39.119 you are paid by your, organization and then you have 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.640 all that as kind of your ancillary income that comes 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:41.960 off of. 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.719 That but don't get it. Twisted it is about your 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:46.680 ability to. 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.159 Play and that's one of the reasons, why like it's 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:54.119 it's always been backwards it's never made, sense and it's 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:55.920 why it's been a little bit of a chaotic mess. 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.359 Too is the essence of why we're compensating student athletes 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:01.800 in the first. Place it's all about their. Performance it's 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:03.919 all about their. Play, well if that's the, case then 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.440 make it a structure that actually makes sense and it's. 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.200 Lasting and you have examples of that at every professional. 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:17.119 LEVEL i just, THINK i, mean it's. Funny, coincidentally we 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:21.800 were going over Man man's you know situation just. Yesterday 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:26.920 What man so like three contracts bro three contracts that 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:31.480 you got to go, through three separate entities of contracts 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.480 that you have to go through as it applies to 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.240 these nil well not even just an, il but just 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:43.000 the way the kids are. Compensated there's like three different 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:49.120 agreements and and one is the, collective you, know another 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:53.240 is this. Entity another is the school. Entity and it's 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:57.119 interesting to, me like looking at how all of it is. 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:02.920 Structured are you really suppor to point and aim your 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:08.200 frustration or YOUR i guess what your demands, are what 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:12.480 your expectations are to be compensated at the team, itself 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:16.640 at the head, coach at at you, know At tennessee 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.520 or wherever it is that you're. At because to, me 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.960 again it comes back down to with these blurred lines 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.760 of what this is all representation of what DOES nil 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:32.639 really Represent because at the end of the, day if 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.080 we're talking, apples if it's an apples the apples, conversation 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:38.560 then you got to talk about compensating the. Player like 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.640 you just, said you're paying based off of what you're 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.639 generating at off of THE tv deals and stuff like. 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:48.080 That there's no there's nothing that comes out, that like 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:51.119 in a pro contract that talks about, name image and. 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:55.040 Likeness you do that with The Players. Association you sign 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.199 a group license and agreement with The Players. Association that's 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.320 how you leverage your, name image and. Likeness it's a 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:05.520 different entity. Altogether so the blurred lines that have been 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.480 created AND i think that are exposed here in this 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:12.440 situation in, particular there's no reason for them for him 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.840
