00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:08.640
It's time for Coffee and Company,
fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine

2
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:36.600
day. Now here's Nick Coffee.
I know everybody has pet peeves when it

3
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.520
comes to just things within the world
of sports. You know. One of

4
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:45.280
mine is when they mentioned somebody's got
an injury, like, hey, uh,

5
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.719
linebacker John Alden, he's out with
a knee. What do you mean

6
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.320
he's out with a knee. We
all have knees, Like, what's these?

7
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:53.920
You know, that's just that's something
that always has irritated me. It's

8
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.439
harmless, but it's just always been
very generic. Yeah. Another thing is

9
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:03.359
whenever like the bottom them scroll or
like just a graphic within a broadcast or

10
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:08.319
maybe even announce, an announcer mentions
it, or somebody on Sports Center mentions

11
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.799
it when they are wrapping up,
you know, highlighting one specific game.

12
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.959
They they share a fact or a
stat as if that's supposed to be eye

13
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.000
popping, like, you know,
impressive. Like Boston Celtics, this is

14
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:26.400
their first appearance in the NBA Finals
since two thousand and two. I mean

15
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.400
that that's I mean it's two years
ago, like I would say that,

16
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.959
you know, you mean twenty two
you said in two and two. Yeah,

17
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.200
twenty two, because twenty two,
why not say this is their second

18
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:38.879
trip to the NBA Finals in three
years, Like that's a better way to

19
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.480
say. Just those are little things
that some people probably don't even notice that

20
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.319
that just irritate me. And I
don't know if I'm about to do that

21
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:53.040
as far as sharing something that like
is presented and delivered as if it's really

22
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.040
rare and you won't believe it and
people are going to be like, who

23
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.599
cares? But I do feel like
this is rare. Louisville opening up their

24
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.000
season on Saturday. Not this Saturday, but when they kick off on August

25
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.479
thirty first against Austin p on a
Saturday at noon, that'll be the first

26
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.560
time Louisville has played their season opener
on a Saturday against a non Power five

27
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:22.840
team since two thousand and nine,
fifteen years ago. Doesn't that seem like

28
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:24.800
kind of that is a long time, because I feel like a lot of

29
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.360
teams kick off their season and start
the season with this kind of a game

30
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.560
against an Austin p So you know, I was right. I mean,

31
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.800
the last time they played a non
Power five team to start a season was

32
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.560
that Charlotte game I mentioned, but
that was in two that was on a

33
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:46.199
Thursday night, so they played,
you know, Kentucky, if you remember

34
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.319
back in the day, they used
to play Kentucky every year on the opener,

35
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.280
and then it went to every other
year. I thought when they played

36
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:58.520
Ohio in two thousand and two thousand, let me see what year was it,

37
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.719
twenty thirteen, they kick it off
their season against Ohio the Bobcats.

38
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.800
That was Teddy's last year, Charlie's
last year. But that was actually on

39
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.960
a Sunday because of the holiday weekend, which, by the way, nobody

40
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.080
cares anymore and it'll never be done, and heck, the series may not

41
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.520
even be played down the line because
Kentucky may not want to play Louisville anymore.

42
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:21.199
But that rivalry was at its best
when it was the first game of

43
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.919
the season and they were able to
get it put on the They were able

44
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.439
to get it put on the Sunday
of the holiday weekend. The NFL hadn't

45
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.000
started yet, so you're not competing
with the NFL. You know, throw

46
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.879
it up at three o'clock and look, you're not going to dominate viewership.

47
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.400
But hey, the rare Sunday where
there's a college football game on during the

48
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:43.439
day because the NFL starts the week
later. I just thought it was perfect.

49
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.520
And you know, this year,
maybe this will be the year.

50
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.000
I thought last year could have been
the year where both teams felt really good

51
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.400
about their season and where they are, and you know, it would lead

52
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.360
to there being some real juice and
some excitement. And I don't mean where

53
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.159
Louisville and can Tucky would be that
matchup will be discussed like Auburn, Alabama,

54
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.800
Michigan, Ohio State. I just
mean around here. There'd be,

55
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:11.280
you know, really high level excitement. And it didn't happen. Louisville was

56
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.400
having a really good year, Kentucky
not so much, and they were lifeless

57
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:16.399
going into it, and sure enough, Kentucky ended up winning the game.

58
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.199
So who knows, maybe it'll happen, maybe not. But anyways, if

59
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:25.120
you're wondering why I start our number
two with this, it's because Louisville now

60
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.199
knows when they're going to kick off
their first two games, which of course

61
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.040
Austin p at noon on the thirty
first, that's a Saturday, and then

62
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:36.920
the next Saturday they'll play at three
thirty on the ACC Network extra against Jacksonville

63
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:41.279
State. And then the other game
we now know when they're starting is the

64
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.720
Friday night game in October against Boston
College at Boston College will start at seven

65
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.800
thirty on ESPN two. I am
starting to grow a little bit. I

66
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:56.360
don't know Friday night games. I'd
rather I don't know. I used to

67
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.600
be okay with them because it would
give it make it to where Saturday I

68
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.240
don't have to worry about, you
know, following one. I can just

69
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.879
bet on all the games and go
back and forth and kind of just you

70
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:09.399
know, move around a little bit. But I just feel like Friday night

71
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.759
games for Louisville, at least recently
have kind of always been a letdown.

72
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.399
Did they have any last year?
Was Murray State a Friday game? I

73
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.800
think it was a Thursday? Okay, I don't do they have Surely they

74
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.839
had a Friday night game last year. I'm sure there's one that I'm just

75
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.160
completely blanket on. But now I've
got to look it up, because again

76
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.639
my mind won't let me just move
on from it. Oh, they started

77
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.800
the season on a Friday last year
and then they played Oh yeah, this

78
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.360
was a memorable game. A game
that. Man, there were some games

79
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.680
this year for Louisville that I have
no problem saying that, like they were

80
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.160
you know, I give them credit
for finding ways to win. One of

81
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.600
the things you heard me say many
many times during the season is that you

82
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.040
don't want to be in a position
where you're really having to just grind it

83
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:54.800
out and dig deep and pulse pull
off, you know, not a miracle,

84
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.199
but just you know, like,
for example, they'd be in close

85
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.240
games with teams they shouldn't be in
close games with, like Virginia, who

86
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.279
they should have lost to probably.
But the one game where I'm like,

87
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.439
man, I don't know how the
hell they won was at NC State on

88
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:12.160
that Friday, and I mean plumber
was bad, Plumber, nothing was really

89
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:14.680
working, and they found a way
to win. They ended up winning on

90
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:19.560
a field goal. So Friday night
games they're okay. But for some reason,

91
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.720
I don't know, maybe maybe because
of the stress level of last And

92
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.519
by the way, both Friday night
games last year were we were close calls.

93
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.680
All right, it's coffee and company. We are fuel about Thornton's here

100
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:54.439

last night, at midnight the deadline for

101
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.959
college players to either stay in the
draft or remove their name from the draft

102
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.000
and go back to Kyle. There
are still a handful of good players that

103
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.040
are that have decided to come back
to school, but nobody knows where they're

104
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:11.240
going to go to school, so
it's not as if everything's official. But

105
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.839
for the most part, most rosters
are pretty much finalized or at least close

106
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:23.199
to it. And I would imagine
that the guys like Woga Poplar, Coleman

107
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:28.839
Hawkins, Arthur Kalooma, I would
be willing to bet that they'll probably be

108
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.519
joining teams that are probably already viewed
to be top twenty caliber teams, top

109
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:36.639
fifteen caliber teams. So you may
just see a slight movement where one team

110
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:42.279
jumps ahead a couple of spots or
something like that. But Jeff Goodman of

111
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.800
the Field of sixty eight, he
put out his top twenty five earlier today

112
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.839
and he had Louisville in the top
twenty five. And this is they did

113
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:56.000
it on their live stream, robbed
Oster and Jeff Goodman, and this is

114
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.199
what Goodman had to say about putting
Louisvill at number twenty five. And I

115
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.079
believe the question that he's answering here. I think Rob asked him, was

116
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.879
there anybody he had, you know
that he you know now that he's reflecting

117
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.279
and looking at his twenty five top
twenty five teams, somebody that he has

118
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.079
ranked and maybe he didn't expect.
And you know, here's what he had

119
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.360
to say. I put Louisville at
twenty five. Okay, I don't know.

120
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.160
It's a late edition, a late
edition. I put Pat Kelcey in

121
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.079
the Louisville Cardinals at twenty five,
and you know, again I didn't have

122
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.399
him in there initially. Texas Tech
was was one two. I put in

123
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.320
there at twenty that again with the
addition at JT. Topp and the other

124
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.600
day, that took them to a
different level. They still have money By

125
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.879
the way, don't be shocked if
they make a run at somebody else on

126
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.679
the board. Right now, John
say that Texas Tech. I will say

127
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.440
this about Texas Tech. I didn't
think that I was going to like him

128
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.039
as much as I did. I
was just gonna turn this down real quick

129
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.200
and see if they end up talking
about Louisville. I think they do.

130
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.960
But while we wait to see if
they do discuss Louisville, and if they

131
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.240
don't, will bail. I'm aware
because already know the text line is going

132
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.799
to be loaded with this from UK
fans and maybe even some louisvill fans.

133
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.639
Jeff Goodman really likes Pat Kelsey,
like I know that well aware. I

134
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.960
mean, he also kind of framed
it like it was all about Pat Kelsey

135
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:13.279
too, the way that he brought
it down. You know, let's not

136
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.480
forget I mean, and I'm sure
a lot of you have forgot or maybe

137
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.879
don't even know, but I won't
forget it. John's what I'm talking about.

138
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.559
Yep. He came on the show
in January and told me Pat Kelsey

139
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:28.039
should be somebody that Louisville goes after. And I didn't even respond to it

140
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.519
in real time you know, because
I just thought there's no war. I

141
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:31.440
mean, I'm not going to well, it may have been the first name

142
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.879
he mentioned. Well, I told
it was. It was the first thing.

143
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.360
Okay. I ended up texting him
two days after he became official and

144
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.519
I sent him the clip and he
said when was this? And I said

145
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.960
January? And it was like January
eighth or something like that. It was

146
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.919
early in January. And I said, so, did you truly think at

147
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.000
any point like then that he was
He said no, I mean I don't

148
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.440
know if he want. He never
thought that Pat Kelsey would ever even be

149
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.519
thought of. I mean, he
didn't. Those weren't his so I'm not

150
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:01.600
misquoting him, but no, he
I mean nobody did, no, but

151
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.039
Pat Kelsey didn't think he'd ever be
in the position, uh to to be

152
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.159
at Louisville. So now he's here
and you know, hadn't coached a game

153
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:18.399
yet, but it certainly looks as
if he is someone that with that step

154
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:24.279
up the ladder better you know,
selling a better program, more resources to

155
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.840
help you sell said program that he
can he can go out there and and

156
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.559
and recruit. And that is one
thing that ever, you know, whenever

157
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:37.320
it got down to Josh Shirts.
Even Dusty May and Pat Kelsey those were

158
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:43.600
the non I mean, I hope
like crazy in a few years that Josh

159
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.039
Shirts and Pat Kelsey are way more
successful than than Dusty May, which I

160
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.000
don't know. If a weird hatred
for him, then I don't know why,

161
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:50.919
because I don't. He's not done
anything to me. He's not our

162
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.679
coach, and I think that's good, but I don't. But long,

163
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.279
what I'm getting at is if you
were if you were going to go that

164
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.440
route and not go get you know, a bigger name or a guy that's

165
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.159
just not maybe you know, not
a huge name, but a guy that's

166
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.360
coached at the Power five level and
had success that if you were going to

167
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:09.039
go mid major route regardless of resume. You know, Goodman said it.

168
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.720
Rob Cassidy of Rivals, who covers
recruiting, has said it. Torres,

169
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.639
who you know, has heard that
the same you know, he ended up

170
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.360
telling me he heard the exact same
thing, that Kelsey would be the guy

171
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.279
that would be able to sell and
recruit better than you know with with a

172
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.879
bigger logo on his shirt. And
I don't mean like bigger in size,

173
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.799
but clearly selling Louisville is different than
selling Charleston, So you know he's well,

174
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.799
I wouldn't be shocked if there are
a lot of other rankings that come

175
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.159
out here soon and Louisville's not in
there. I mean, I wouldn't be

176
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.559
shocked if they do sneak in the
top twenty five. But disclaimer, like,

177
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.200
I know that that Goodman putting them
there, you know, may have

178
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:50.480
something to do with with his you
know, his friendship with with Pat Kelcey.

179
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.840
Let's see, Okay, So yeah, that's all they They didn't say

180
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.799
a whole lot about Louisville other than
he's got Louisville at twenty five. Have

181
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.360
you seen the rest of these?
John No, I haven't been tree though.

182
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.039
All right, So before we get
to Kentucky, I know you are,

183
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.600
you know, a proud who'sier.
Do you have a guess where Goodman

184
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.399
put them? Because I will tell
you, Actually, I'm not eve gonna

185
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.000
say it. I'm gonna say so
Goodman, at least in recent years and

186
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.840
maybe his entire time in Indiana's only
been there for three years. He's not

187
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.519
the biggest fan of Mike Woodson.
He has been complimentary of what they've done

188
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:30.879
in the portal. I believe he's
got Indiana at number seventeen. There's no

189
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.200
way you haven't seen this. Was
I dead, I'm not. I'm not

190
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.480
fooling you. Is it dead seventeen? Dead on seventeen? And I know

191
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.960
you're being serious because you wouldn't.
I mean, if you, if you

192
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.200
already saw, you would have told
me. But yeah, you got it

193
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.519
right on the money seventeen. So
I don't know. I feel like having

194
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:54.600
Indiana and I won't claim to know
what everybody's done in the portal. And

195
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.960
I don't know like Cincinnati being at
sixteen. Like Cincinnati, I mean why,

196
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.799
I don't even know what that's based
on. Yeah, me either.

197
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.960
I mean, they weren't very good
last year, and I don't think they've

198
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.720
landed some huge name in the portal. It could be though that you know,

199
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.120
let's be real, when we look
at these rankings a lot of times

200
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.320
now we just okay, let's see, man, they had a great portal

201
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.519
class and they're usually pretty good anyway. I bet they're ranked pretty high.

202
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.919
But it's not crazy to still look
at teams that do bring back a lot

203
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.120
that were you know, potentially going
to be good and then added some pieces

204
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.759
if that makes sense, right,
Like, it's not just based off who

205
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.159
had the best portal class. If
you had a pretty good team and you

206
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.759
bring back the bulk of that team
and there's an expectation that they're going to

207
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.000
be even better, meaning the guys
you brought back, and then oh,

208
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.720
by the way, you went and
added a piece here and there that could

209
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.240
lead to you being, you know, a pretty good team that would be

210
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.000
justifiably in the top twenty. So
maybe that's you know, Tennessee ben a

211
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.360
fifteen, no surprise, their Tennessee's
been a top fifteen team for the last

212
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:58.399
you know, many years. Ole
miss at number fourteen, which is Chris

213
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.240
Beard. I mean, that's the
Chris Beard bump at thirteen, createon twelve,

214
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.759
Arizona eleven. So as much as
I wanted to think Indiana should have

215
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.159
been higher, I can't really think
of any teams that I would say,

216
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.320
or you know, it's just blasphemy
that they are ahead of the Hoosiers.

217
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:16.960
Now Kentucky they are at number twenty
five. Because Goodman, after he wrapped

218
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.039
up the live stream they made the
graphic, he put Louisville at twenty four

219
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.759
and then Kentucky at twenty five and
Arkansas's at twenty three. So that is

220
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.240
such a troll move. I will
yeah, I will be you know,

221
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.480
I will be honest with you.
When he did this, the Jackson Robinson

222
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.559
news had not had not come out
yet, so he put Kentucky at twenty

223
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.879
five before Jackson Robinson committed and since
then. Here's what Goodman said after that

224
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.519
news. Bro Kentucky getting Jackson Robinson
at Jackson Robinson is exactly what Mark Pope

225
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.799
needed. Now the Cats have a
guy who can go make a play and

226
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:52.679
get a bucket. I think there
are a lot to be a preseason top

227
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.080
twenty five team now, maybe even
top fifteen ish. I don't think that

228
00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:00.600
that is unfair at all. I
mean, I won't claim to know everything

229
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:05.360
about Jackson Robinson, but he is
a polished offensive player that, to Jeff's

230
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.519
point, can be somebody to just
go get you a bucket when you need

231
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:11.200
it. And I'm not sure they
really had that kind of guy on the

232
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:16.120
roster. They've got some specialists,
right, They're pretty They're pretty deep in

233
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.279
the front court, although I don't
know if they've got like a great front

234
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.559
court offensive player. Maybe that ends
up being the Garrison kid. Maybe he

235
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.360
breaks out the one who transferred from
Oklahoma State and they've got great shooting,

236
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.480
and is it Kobe Burray? I
think that's how you say his name from

237
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.679
Dayton. I mean he's a really
good shooter. So they've got good pieces.

238
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:33.879
But as far as a guy that's
like, okay, go create something,

239
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:39.320
I guess that's what Jackson Robinson is
going to be. All right,

240
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.159
let's go ahead and get to our
first break here in the four o'clock hour.

241
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.200
We got a lot more to get
into as we roll along here.

242
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.399
I want to talk some football coming
up here shortly because I have a buddy

243
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.120
of mine who does some work for
athlon sports and sporting news with college basket

244
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:58.960
or college football right ups, and
he asked me to give him some feedback

245
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.200
on Louisville football as far as,
okay, breakout player on offense and defense,

246
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.200
which you know, who's who do
you think is going to be the

247
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:14.159
biggest and best newcomer from the portal, which freshmen could potentially be more ready

248
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.559
than anybody else. And I haven't
you know, I've given it a lot

249
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:19.200
of thought. I haven't actually put
together anything yet, but I want to

250
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.399
talk about it because I actually think
that's interesting as we get closer and closer

251
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.200
to football season. I know basketball
has got a lot of the attention recently

252
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.200
for obvious reasons. There's a new
coach, it's a new era, we're

253
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:30.960
excited, brand new team. But
hey, Jeff Brom's coming off a ten

254
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.919
win season and a trip to the
ACC Championship game. So I don't know

255
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.039
if that's going to happen again this
year. It's going to be tougher just

256
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.000
because of the schedule, but certainly
could happen, and we'll talk a lot

257
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.080
more about it as we move along
here on Sports Talk seven to ninety.

258
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:51.480
So when it comes to the potential
changes coming to college athletics, there's a

259
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:56.480
lot of legal terms that are way
too advanced for me. I mentioned every

260
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.759
now and then I read Ross Dellinger
at yahoo'sport, who I think does a

261
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.680
great job of explaining things, you
know, to people a lot smarter than

262
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.079
me. But he also can dumb
it down for someone as dumb as me.

263
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:12.599
And he's been covering this thing pretty
pretty closely. And I'll just read

264
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:18.359
for you this this report from him, because this is this is this is

265
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:19.960
big news that just came out within
the last ten minutes. It sounds like

266
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:29.480
proposed consent decree prohibits colleges and universities
from infringing on college athletes freedom to transfer

267
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.000
to school. So they're still trying
to figure out how they're going to do

268
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.799
the employee situation, like are they
going to be employees at these schools or

269
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.279
not, But it sounds like the
transfer situation has been handled, so again

270
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.519
legal terms, according to Ross Dellinger, I'll read this the proposed consent decree

271
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.519
if anybody or if I'm sorry,
the proposed consent Decree, if approved by

272
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:56.839
the court, enjoins nc DOULA from
enforcing transfer eligibility rule and from adopting any

273
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.720
similar rule in the future. And
then he says Layman's terms unlimited transfers without

274
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.839
penalty. So it sounds like it's
going to continue to be an absolute free

275
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.480
for all and you can transfer whenever
you want, as many times as you

276
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:15.640
want, as long as the transfers
meet n C double A academic eligibility requirements.

277
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:22.519
So I'm sure that's a bummer to
some people, but not really a

278
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:29.880
surprise to me, because again,
it being chaotic, it being you know,

279
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.759
the wild wild West as people say, and it may in it being

280
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:38.079
almost impossible for coaches to really you
know, it changes everything about how you

281
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.880
manage or I mean it changes everything
as a coach. You probably have to

282
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.920
mean they've already they've already been having
to do it, knowing they could lose

283
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.799
a player to transfer. But all
of that, despite being true, still

284
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.680
doesn't mean that the NCABLEA should have
the ability to tell you you can't go

285
00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:00.240
and play at this school. Like, I get both sides of it.

286
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.880
It is going to be chaotic,
and it is going to be at times,

287
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.200
like you know, laughable as far
as how many schools these guys end

288
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.920
up playing for, Like that's true, and coaches if they wanted to walk

289
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:17.559
away because they just feel like it's
completely you know, a different job now

290
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:23.680
because of this specifically, I get
it, But what right does the NCAA

291
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:30.079
have to tell you that you can't
play where you want to play. I

292
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:37.119
mean, if I'm in the band
and I'm I'm playing the saxophone, is

293
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:38.720
the saxophone in the pet band?
If not, they need to put it

294
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:42.079
in. They should. You need
a little bit of sacks I think is

295
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:48.119
good in all aspects in all music. But anyways, if I'm playing the

296
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.440
saxophone at Louisville and I decid,
you know, I want to transfer to

297
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.000
Indiana and play the saxophone in their
band, They're not gonna. I mean,

298
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.000
there's never a world they would have
told me I had to sit out.

299
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.359
Why because as I play football when
I need to set out, So

300
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.119
I'm not surprised by this at all. To be honest with you, I

301
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.480
guess the only way, and this
may not even be correct, but the

302
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.799
only way that you can maybe hope
that your player sticks around is if they're

303
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.039
in an nil contract, I mean
contracts so to speak. On'll know how

304
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.200
the legal how all that works necessarily, yeah, but if they're not going

305
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.160
to get a certain amount of their
money because they transfer, that could be

306
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.839
something that keeps players from jobble.
That already, that's already why some guys

307
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.960
were late to hit the portal,
if you remember, because yes, they

308
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:37.119
were going to wait. So if
if you know, I'm as guilty as

309
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.799
anybody for just assuming when they become
when they become employees, there won't be

310
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.519
any nil not because you know it
gets rid of it, but no,

311
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.920
you're still going to have that.
It may not be as lucrative, but

312
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.160
it's still going to be a component, There's no doubt about it. But

313
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:57.759
one thing that I think is even
Greg Sanki, who, to be honest

314
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.519
with you, I think you can
make the claim that he might as well

315
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:06.119
be running college athletics, maybe ruining
it in the eyes of some. But

316
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.119
one thing that comes up all the
time is and this is a Greg Sankie

317
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.759
quote from I guess the SEC meetings
over the weekend or earlier this week.

318
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.720
Greg Sankie was asked about collectively bargaining
with athletes, which he says would require

319
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.920
employment. Sankee's quote was, I've
not had a student athlete come to me

320
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:29.440
and say I want to be taxed
like an employee. That is a dumb

321
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:34.759
thing to say for somebody in his
position, because what that says is that

322
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.519
you have to you be taxed as
in anile employee too. I mean,

323
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.039
I guess you're not an employee.
But like it's like Greg Sankie thinks if

324
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.599
we let them make money all through
nil and not as employees, they don't

325
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:49.920
have to pay taxes on it.
They do. I mean, I mean,

326
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.319
I don't know if they're going to, but like if you're a college

327
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:57.039
athlete and you made six figures and
you didn't claim any of that as earnings,

328
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.799
you're going to get a call from
uncle saying, I mean, that's

329
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.640
just you know, that's that's that
you have to do that. In fact,

330
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.799
it was Mit Winter, who runs
Winter Sports Law. Here's what he

331
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.799
responded to to Ross Ellingser who shared
that quote from Sankie College. Athletes may

332
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.079
or not, may or may not
end up being employees. The courts will

333
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.480
decide, but this talking point needs
to be retired. It has zero bearing

334
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.640
on the legal analysis and taxes are
paid, whether they're paid as independent contractors

335
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:30.559
through nil or employees with athletic performance. So I think the thought of these

336
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:37.880
guys being employees just scares everybody within
like the universities, the conferences, and

337
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.759
I get it because it would be
I mean, it just sounds weird,

338
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:47.599
but in the end it may be
maybe the best way to go. All

339
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:52.920
right, So this I would say
right now, not that I have my

340
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.839
finger on the pulse of what is
the most you know, popular viral video

341
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.799
on the Internet, but this has
got to be up there right now because

342
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:06.160
it's all I'm seeing people sharing all
over Twitter. TikTok Instagram. I know

343
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.440
Barstool Sports shared it and it had
millions and millions of views. And it

344
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:15.839
is h is somebody who was on
a court like FaceTime call, which I

345
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:21.319
didn't know this, but it's apparently
really common now to you you can have

346
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.960
your court like case and not have
to go into the courtroom like you can

347
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.160
do it via zoom. I know
this because I watch a lot of the

348
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:34.440
like somebody will clip a judge losing
his mind on somebody or a defendant,

349
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:37.839
you know, getting in trouble and
getting reprimanded and getting you know, a

350
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.079
warrant put out for the arrest because
they're mouthing off to the judge. And

351
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.359
I see a lot of those videos
on on TikTok and sometimes they're actually really

352
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.640
funny. And this judge here in
this case is actually somebody that I've seen

353
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.119
before that just pops up on my
on my timeline. But this guy,

354
00:23:52.799 --> 00:24:03.200
uh, he joined his zoom hearing
for a suspended driver's license while actively driving

355
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:08.200
and he did not even think about
it. I mean, this is this

356
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:15.400
is insane. He didn't have a
license and he was just driving something at

357
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.759
her up possibly the four weeks at
the court would allow. So maybe I

358
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:25.759
don't understand something. This is the
driving want of license suspended? That is

359
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:33.559
correct, your owner, and he
was just driving and he didn't have a

360
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:41.519
license. The look on this guy's
face, Ah, that is what the

361
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.880
charges your honer. Yes, no, I'm looking at his record. He

362
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:51.359
doesn't have a license, he's suspended
and he's just driving. That is correct,

363
00:24:51.400 --> 00:25:00.559
your inner. That's his attorney,
by the way. Oh, I

364
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.880
don't even know why he would do
that. So defendant's bond is revoked.

365
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:08.480
In this manner, defendant is turned
himself into the Washington kind of deal by

366
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:12.240
six pm today. Failure to turn
himself in while we result in the bench

367
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:18.160
for it with no bond. I
mean, that's up there as like one

368
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:23.200
of the dumbest criminals of all time, right in his facial expression. If

369
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.400
you've seen the video, he just
looks so like, how dumb could I

370
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.960
have actually been to do this?
Had I never seen these type of videos

371
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.079
before where they you know, there's
like and I guess this is a more

372
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:41.160
efficient way to handle court for like
non serious violations, like non violent stuff

373
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.119
like, but I mean I would
have thought it was fake because who could

374
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:52.160
be that dumb because you're you're literally
seeing the judge because of your suspended driver's

375
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:55.640
license. And then you know,
I didn't play the beginning of it,

376
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.200
but he's driving kind of like tell
you know the judge wouldn't you know,

377
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:00.720
didn't want to talk, and while
he's driving because it would be dangerous,

378
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.920
He's like, Jimmy, just a
second, I'm about to park and be

379
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.319
stationary. And then you know,
it never dawned on this this guy,

380
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.079
who of course you know, is
driving while suspended, that that would be

381
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:14.640
a bad look. I mean,
you might have been able to play it

382
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.599
off if he's just sitting in the
car, but he was quite literally driving

383
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:23.759
the vehicle while he was on a
zoom call with with the judge. Which

384
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:27.680
have you seen many of those clips
of like the Zoo cases. But when

385
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:32.000
I when I saw this one,
I guess it was yesterday. I thought

386
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:34.839
the the victim, but the criminal, I thought he was like trolling.

387
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:37.680
I thought he was like just seeing
what the judge would do. Yeah,

388
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:45.839
I mean, so one thing that
I don't I have a comfortable fear of

389
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.279
of you know, authority, meaning
like you know, I don't ever want

390
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.880
to go in front of a judge
for any reason. I so I don't,

391
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:55.400
you know, thankfully, because I've
not been in any trouble legally,

392
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:57.640
I don't really know a lot about
the process. But what blows my mind

393
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:04.519
is there'll be people on there that
are unhappy with like a child support agreement

394
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:11.640
or unhappy with, you know,
not getting to stay out on probation because

395
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.240
they violate a probation with like a
failed drug test, and they'll get all

396
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:17.720
upset and they're not in front of
the judge. They're just on a zoom

397
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.000
call and they'll start mouthing off to
the judge, and the judge will say,

398
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:25.640
Okay, you know you're in contempt. There's gonna be ah, there's

399
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:29.839
gonna be a warrant out for your
arrest. But I don't know if it's

400
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.319
like a bench worn or an arrest
warrant I really I want. And there's

401
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.880
a difference between the two. One
of them is to where they're not out

402
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:38.319
there looking for you. But if
they do, ever, if they you

403
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:41.200
know, when they find you,
you got to go in like there's a

404
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:44.160
warran out for you arrest. Like
sometimes you have a warrant out for you

405
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.839
arrest and people are just looking for
you, like it's become a high priority.

406
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:51.400
But it's if I, you know, back talked, which I never

407
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.079
would if I back talked the judge
and I started getting mauby and you know

408
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:57.680
it was being a jerk, and
they helped me in contempt and added charges

409
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:00.720
and said something about a war.
Mean, be scared to death. But

410
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:06.519
I guess if you're not violent and
you're you know, you've not I guess,

411
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:07.839
I mean, you're not a priority
to where they're going to use police

412
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.720
resources to go hunt you down,
you know what I mean. Like,

413
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.039
it's just this doesn't make me feel
like I should probably start breaking the law

414
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.359
and maybe I can get away with
it and avoid jail. But it just

415
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.240
like, I don't know, like
to see the to see the lack of

416
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.319
fear or concern knowing that they're getting
themselves in trouble is just something that I

417
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:32.960
can't really relate. They're used to
it exactly. I mean, that's exactly

418
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:34.680
what it is. That's exactly what
it is. It's that they've you know,

419
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:38.000
they've they've been there, done that. You know, there's a reason

420
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:40.960
that they're in front of the judge. I mean a lot of these a

421
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.880
lot of these cases specifically, is
somebody who has been in trouble and then

422
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.200
got in trouble again, like and
that's why they're in front of the judge

423
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:48.839
because you were out on probation.
Why do you break your probation? Why

424
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.160
didn't you check in with your parole
officer or something like that. And there's

425
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.039
a lot of violations that are not
for a criminal offense. It's just for

426
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.200
not abiding by what you have to
specifically do as someone who you know the

427
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:06.359
law. But sometimes I'll just get
lost in one of those TikTok channels that

428
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.920
has nothing but these court cases because
some of these judge, these judges are

429
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:14.519
hilarious and also some of the criminals
are you know, hilariously stupid as far

430
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:17.480
as just like you know, probably
feels like real life Judge Judice. Yeah,

431
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:19.599
like it reminds me of a liar
or liar when Jim Carrey, you

432
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:22.640
know, stop breaking the law ahole, Like you know, sometimes that I

433
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.440
can tell like another part of it
that that I enjoy because when you go

434
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:30.519
to judge, like Judge Judy is
you know, purely entertainment. And I

435
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.599
love Judge Judy, but in these
cases, I mean, they're real and

436
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.160
also these are people who are not
suing somebody in civil court. They're suit

437
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.759
like they're they're they're facing a judge
for criminal charges, meaning they have a

438
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:44.200
defense attorney. And the amount of
times I can just see the defense attorney

439
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.559
like tense and rolling their eyes is
because they know that the client like,

440
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:51.960
I'm trying to defend you. I
am trying to get you know, have

441
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:55.680
this situation work out the best way
possible. And you can't get out of

442
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:57.119
your own way. I wish you
would just shut the hell up. And

443
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:02.519
yeah, it's you know, I'm
I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff,

444
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:07.720
the true crime, criminal stuff.
I'm a nerd for it. All

445
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:10.960
right, let's go to the phone. One five two five is the number

446
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:12.279
if you guys would like to jump
in and join us. Let's go to

447
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:17.039
Scott. Scott, you're on Sports
Talk seven ninety. What's happening and not

448
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:21.640
much? Just wanted to comment on
what you said about that one guy saying

449
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:27.240
that athletes will be able to transfer
each year. Yeah, and he's saying

450
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:30.119
that they're not. They're not going
to be able to keep him from doing

451
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:34.119
that. Well, there's got to
be some type of not penalty, but

452
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:40.839
an endpoint because if you can't keep
me from transferring as often as I want,

453
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:45.319
which I think is why coach k
retired and Nick Saban I think there

454
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.160
they saw the writing on the wall
of how chaotic this is going to be?

455
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.480
But why And then you made a
good comment if you wanted to transfer

456
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:59.000
from playing saxophone, they're not going
to say anything. So how can they

457
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:03.480
keep me from what to play more
than four years? If that's a rule,

458
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:07.799
then they have to come up with
some real to keep you from transferring

459
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.160
over over over again. Yeah,
I mean, heck, you never know.

460
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.720
That's actually I'd never thought of that, Scott, but that's a good

461
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.680
point. Like maybe you could just
take them to court because they keep losing,

462
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:19.920
meaning the NCUBLEA, and say,
hey, instead of four years,

463
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:23.160
it's going to take me six to
do my degree because I'm not as good

464
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:26.200
as a student, So why can't
I'm still in school? Why can't I

465
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:29.319
play for six? Like that?
I mean, I don't know if we'll

466
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:33.039
ever see that, but yeah,
I mean n Sublea has really has less

467
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:37.039
power than they've ever had, and
that's proven out here. But yeah,

468
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:41.039
I mean I think it is not
gonna be. I mean, if I'm

469
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.519
a coach, I mean, there's
no doubt about it. It's a different

470
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:47.519
job now. But again, I
just think it comes back to do they

471
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:49.839
have the right to tell you you
can't trans because again, what these guys

472
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:52.240
can say is look, hey,
and they can lie. I'm actually going

473
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:56.640
to transfer this school, not because
of nil or really even because of basketball,

474
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:59.640
but it's because they've got this program
here that I really really want to

475
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:01.720
pursue. And we would all know
that's nonsense. But I guess technically,

476
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:06.400
you know, you can't prove that's
not why they're doing it. Right,

477
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:13.200
Well, exactly what? Oh gosh, the the UK kid, the freshman

478
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:22.640
that went from South Carolina back to
Kentucky. He was the incoming freshman.

479
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:27.400
Yeah, the incoming freshman. What
is his name, Noah something? Noah,

480
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:30.799
Yeah, Yeah. He said he
wanted to open up his options and

481
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:35.240
he mentioned he wanted to get closer
to home. Well, he mentioned three

482
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:37.400
schools, but we all knew,
so, I mean, he just to

483
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:42.519
get out of that letter of intent. But like you said, it's gonna

484
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.400
take me six years or whatever,
and so why can't it Well, hell,

485
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.079
what about someone like you know,
you mentioned the movie Liar Lyra about

486
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:52.240
Tommy Boy. You know, he
was in college for like twelve years.

487
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:58.519
What if he wanted to just continually
play football and be like, look,

488
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:01.279
I just want to go get a
marketing degree and then I want to get

489
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:06.640
a doctorate degree and just keep playing
football. Yes, there's got to be

490
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.839
somewhere. There's got to be a
not a tipping well maybe a tipping point,

491
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.960
but something that's you're like, all
right, enough enough, now I'm

492
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:19.039
with you. What's the transfer rule
now? And that you get one free

493
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:21.599
one and then after that you have
to sit out. No, they've so

494
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:25.559
it was the NC double A.
The big big change was they gave you

495
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:30.880
one you get one transfer that was
like two years ago, and then kids

496
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:36.039
who transferred a second time started fighting
it and they won. So it led

497
00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:38.440
it led to it being kind of
a free for all, and they were

498
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:40.599
going to try to get there,
you know, try to get some kind

499
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:45.279
of a plan together. But it
sounds as if from like a legal standpoint,

500
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:46.880
I mean, n S double A
just is being told you don't You

501
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:51.000
cannot tell them they can't participate just
because they want to go to a different

502
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:52.440
school, that they have to sit
out, So I appreciate the call,

503
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:55.640
Scott. I think you're right.
I mean, I'd never thought about that.

504
00:33:55.759 --> 00:34:00.480
But if you are still in school
and you haven't obtained your agree like

505
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.079
I mean, I think you should
only be able to play four years.

506
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:06.079
I'm not advocating that they should let
guys play for ten to twelve years,

507
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:09.559
but if you really want to just
fight them on it, who knows,

508
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:14.039
maybe you'd win. It could be
a situation where they could let you still

509
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.239
play, but maybe your scholarship runs
out. Maybe you know, it could

510
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:19.719
be something like that. But you
know, I could see I mean,

511
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:23.679
I could see a lawyer, a
good one, not changing my mind on

512
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:27.800
it, but making a great case
that says, look, why can I

513
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:30.280
only play for four years? I'm
still in school. You know I didn't

514
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:37.119
finish my degree. You know I've
I mean, I would imagine that if

515
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:45.320
you are following the academic if you're
following the academic requirements and you're eligible,

516
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:47.119
that it would be hard for you
to not be done with school. But

517
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.400
then again, I'm getting my second
graduate degree. I want to get all

518
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:52.920
the degrees I can. Why can't
I stick around? I mean, I

519
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:55.920
doubt we ever see that but again, I don't know if there's much that

520
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:59.519
would shock me as far as what
people are going to try to challenge the

521
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:01.320
indstead of as far as what they
are are, what they are and are

522
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:07.039
not allowed to do, and so
far the NCAA keeps losing. All right,

523
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:07.760
let's get to a quick break.
We'll come back on the other side.

524
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.280
Wrap of the four o'clock hour.
Keep this thing rolling along again.

525
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:13.880
It's Coffee and Company. We are
fueled by Thornton's right here on Sports Talk

526
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:19.119
seven ninety. That's right, Coffee
and Company rolling along here on a Thursday

527
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.800
afternoon. Appreciate you hanging out with
us. How much time left here in

528
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:24.440
the four o'clock hour, but we
will take you up till six o'clock like

529
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:29.159
we always do, so hopefully you
can stick around. I do want to

530
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:30.960
tell you when it comes to buying
or selling your home, there is only

531
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:35.039
one place to turn, and that
is to Edlin and Edland. You can

532
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:37.000
check them out online at eedland dot
com or give them a call FABO two

533
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:42.519
five nine nine twenty eight hundred.
They offer a one percent listing, so

534
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.760
if you're selling your home, they
will list it for one percent, which

535
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:50.039
once again I don't know if people
realize what that can do for you.

536
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:53.360
The market rate for listing your home
is three percent for the listing agent and

537
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:57.280
three percent for the buyer's agent.
As your listing agent, what Eland and

538
00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:00.440
Needland is going to do is list
your home for one percent, offer the

539
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:04.280
buyer's agent two point five percent.
That's a total of a three and a

540
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:12.559
half percent versus the current market of
six. So three and a half versus

541
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:16.039
six. That makes it a lot
less and you have a lot more money

542
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:19.440
of your own, your hard earned
dollars in your pocket. For example,

543
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.480
if your house sells for three hundred
thousand dollars, you're gonna walk away from

544
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:27.400
closing with seventy five hundred more of
your hard earned dollars in your pocket because

545
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.000
they listed it at one percent.
That's one of many reasons you should trust

546
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:34.239
them. Again, they've been doing
this since nineteen seventy six, a full

547
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.880
service residential real estate brokerage. So
again, Eland dot com, E D

548
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:43.119
E L E N dot com is
the website five two five nine nine twenty

549
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:45.159
eight hundred. All right, So
let me go ahead and set the table

550
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:49.679
for you guys. In the five
o'clock I will pick up where we left

551
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.119
off when it comes to discussing some
of these college basketball rankings, because right

552
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:58.239
now, the majority of the rosters
are essentially set. But Coleman Hawkins,

553
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.880
he sent out a tweet about ten
minutes ago and then deleted it, and

554
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:08.559
it was seemingly, at least from
what I can tell, an indication that

555
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:14.719
maybe he's interested in Louisville, which
makes me wonder, how could that be?

556
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:20.559
There's no scholarships left. Well,
if Louisville could somehow get him.

557
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:22.960
Hell yeah, he's a good player, probably maybe the best or what are

558
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:27.239
the best players available right now?
But I got a couple of theories,

559
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:30.840
totally opposite theories as to what that
is, and we'll talk about that in

560
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:32.480
the five o'clock I also I mentioned
some football stuff I want to get too.

561
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:36.360
We will. We'll certainly do that, and I'll let you guys be

562
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.400
a part of the show as well. So how would you why would you

563
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:42.280
not stick around? We got another
hour to go. Let's let's keep the

564
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:45.519
good times rolling right here again.
