Welcome to I on the Bar here on Fox Spurs fourteen fifteen. 5 00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:24.399 I'm Steve river He's Jenkins. As we have Jason in the house today. 6 00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.879 Welcome to Monday, A very hot Monday, A early start of what we're 7 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:33.119 gonna see is miserable weekend, miserable weekend. But hey, we're indoors. 8 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.240 We're good. We're good. We are inside. A lot of stuff happened 9 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.000 over the weekend. A lot of ricky news, a lot of crazy news. 10 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.640 Yeh, where do you want to begin. Let's talk about some of 11 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:43.320 it because we won't be able to talk about all of it. Well, 12 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.439 first of all, let's talk about our guests. Okay, um, for 13 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.960 our guest at three fifteen is Adam Lazarus. He's the what his title is, 14 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.520 but he basically runs Arizona Assist. I don't if you call him the 15 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.600 CEO or whatever an Arizona assist is that I don't know. If you call 16 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.920 her a elective, but it's that group that they collect donations and they and 17 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.280 they and they basically pass out the money to airs on basketball players. You 18 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:12.439 get opportunities to buy shirts and jerseys and caps and gear, um with the 19 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:19.319 with the uh, the ue buyers, basketball is whatever. Just back, 20 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.000 this is just for basketball, and then that money goes to those athletes with 21 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.480 an avenue for people could be able to help with the whole NI out. 22 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.599 In fact, I was with him last week. That's why I try to 23 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.239 get him on last week. But he's coming on today just to clarify more 24 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.640 of what they do, how it all works. Uh, they'll be actually 25 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.799 doing some ads on our show to get the word out and in fact, 26 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.719 all of our Heart Jay they had something they talked to Steve, so they're 27 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.599 gonna have a lot of presents in the local Heart family, especially especial with 28 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.200 us. I just wanted to kind of let them clarify some place because you 29 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.840 know, there's it's still confusing to a lot of us. And then on 30 00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.439 top of that, there's all the stuff going on at the at the federal 31 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:05.040 level. There's nil legislation, legislation, national, nil legislation in the works. 32 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.000 Various states have their own. Um the NC double A is asking the 33 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:14.879 the US government to step in and kind of bring some order to this. 34 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.759 So whatever the rules are, at least everybody knows what they are, and 35 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.120 there's one set of rules for everybody, and that's kind of what they're doing. 36 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.240 So there's some legislation that's been drafted. And then on top of that, 37 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:31.080 there was this ruling by the IRS that said that collectives cannot collect. 38 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.680 The donations that go to collectives for the purpose of nil are not tax deductors, 39 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:38.960 right, And that's and they're not a collective. Remember we're not a 40 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:46.919 collective. I think they're just an avenue for athletes to get to have a 41 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.520 chance to put their name, image and likeness out there. I think I'm 42 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:57.000 gonna ask him at least maybe we can ask him about what our softball player 43 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.479 said last week, you know about l and in name image and like this, 44 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.039 And that's the essence. That's what I should have been, right. 45 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.599 You know, if Jay wanted to get some money for sign some autographs somewhere, 46 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.400 he can go ahead and read that he was chasing his own rainbow. 47 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.280 Right. You're not someone You're not just you're on the team and you get 48 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.000 some money, right exactly, So we'll talk about about that. You know, 49 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.560 originally, that's what it was intended to be. That's what, well, 50 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.400 what that's what a lot of the what that that's what it's intended to 51 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:23.520 be, and what a lot of it has become is what we just said, 52 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.240 where people, you know, groups are collecting money and then just handing 53 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.400 it out because you're on the team or saying Okay, we'll give you five 54 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.759 hundred thousand dollars. To complain, that's not what it was supposed to be. 55 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.000 No, that's that's technically supposed to be illegal. And that's what we'll 56 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.199 talk about, just the difference to what he presents and what other people present. 57 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.599 Okay, and then at tour fifteen at four or fifteen, Bob Kemp 58 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:51.360 of Phoenix radio, host of the Sports Zone on ten sixty, then commit 59 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.240 talk about this big news in Phoenix, Bradley Beale. We talked about that 60 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.599 on Friday, right, was he going to go to the UH to the 61 00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.159 Suns? And he did? Jason, were you surprised and happy? What 62 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.479 do you care? Um? I was surprised. I thought that he might 63 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:09.360 actually have a better better offer than the Sons. But as you, no, 64 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.280 I think it's good for the Sons by the same time, not that 65 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.079 good just because they lost another piece on the bench which is already very limited. 66 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.360 Um So I think in a shorty term it could be good for them. 67 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.120 In the long term, I don't know whether they're gonna be headed. 68 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.319 Well, I think of the long term. What about what about DeAndre? 69 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.759 I mean, yeah, is he gonna stay, is you're gonna go? 70 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:31.480 That's another guy that I'm not sure how he helps him? Right? And 71 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.199 then I mean, yes, size, they need size. But okay, 72 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.759 then what are you gonna do for a point guard? Yeah, I mean 73 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.399 they have um book book good can play point but he isn't like a nazis 74 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.000 not a natural point Yeah, but he can play the position a little bit. 75 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.160 Um. I guess you know you have campaign there who can also kind 76 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.480 of play a little bit. There are you know, some other avenues they 77 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.920 can go in for agency, maybe to go pick up someone I don't know, 78 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.600 But okay, so we'll talk to him at four fifteen or seventeen. 79 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:02.480 So now let's talk about let's talk about San Diego State. Oh, hy, 80 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.279 you're on the air, and I on the ball. Hey you guys, 81 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:10.279 this is Gabriel calling from California. Hey, do we have time to 82 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:16.959 call to talk about college football relignment? Also and also, um, you 83 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.399 guys, uh tough you guys said um in a poll or I think it 84 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:27.959 wasn't. I think it was justin and a least show that did. What 85 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:33.399 does Arizona Wildcast prefer more for Arizona to go to a Final four or Arizona 86 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:38.399 going to the Rose Bowl? I think it's very clear the Rose Bowl. 87 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.839 Yeah, I mean in Final four they didn't. It didn't say winning a 88 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:49.399 national championship. So I think going to a Rose Bowl. You're keyn Gabriel. 89 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.199 But what's your other question? What's your what's your comments on the on 90 00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:00.680 the uh realignment stuff? So anyway, um, uh, like I said 91 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.000 to you a couple of weeks ago, obviously you know why don't your colleagues 92 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:11.560 Jason sheer and and he basically texted, he basically sent it on Twitter opposed 93 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.319 to this, and he said, this is just a rumor, So let 94 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.639 me say this. Um, he heard a deal might be on the table 95 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:27.879 this week. Rumor is twenty two point five million dollars trying to find out 96 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:34.879 from too. I don't believe that's good enough at the moment for the school. 97 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:39.680 So can I give him my thoughts about it? Sure, twenty two 98 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.560 is not good, but go ahead. Yeah. So so one of my 99 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:50.560 thoughts about it is, I think, if if it is true, I 100 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:58.839 think, if if if Arizona, well, if the Patrol TV deal is 101 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:04.959 worth twenty two twenty two point two twenty two point five million dollars and the 102 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:11.839 Bid twelve has around thirty eight thirty eight million dollars, I think he is 103 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:20.839 queer. Arizona should just aside just due to unforeseen circumstances or I'm not going 104 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:26.759 to try to award it anyway what President Robbins or day Peeky would say. 105 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:32.439 But I think if it's if it is true, I think Arizona needs him, 106 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:38.480 makes makes him to go to the Bid twelve because I'm a fan. 107 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:45.639 I know Jay is a fan. Uh Steve Um not so much because he 108 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:50.279 didn't go to university University of Arizona, Well, he's on alumni. But 109 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:57.519 Arizona needs is survived, and the Bid twelve is the queer best way for 110 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:05.199 Arizona to survive in Calle. In the college football athletic athletics. And if 111 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.040 Asu and you taught one to be left from the dust, all right, 112 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.199 they're incompetence in you know, we talked about that, Shay. I think 113 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.600 Gabriel's pretty much spot on, especially about me. But but twenty two is 114 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.399 not enough. One, But don't you have to have the invite to go. 115 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:26.800 It doesn't matter what you want, you have to get the right Well, 116 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.279 I think I can't. I think once, I think it is true 117 00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:37.120 President Robbins and Davey, he needs to have an media press conference and just 118 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:45.039 say we waited. We waited, We waited for George Clary cough to make 119 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:52.200 to come up with the TV deal. And the TV deal is twenty two 120 00:08:52.320 --> 00:09:00.279 point five million dollars. Clearly that is not good enough for Arizona or we 121 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:07.360 wanted to, We wanted to it to be more, but unfortunately it is 122 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:13.639 not. So after this moment moment, Arizona is leaving for the Pac twelve 123 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.320 and we are gonna go, and we're gonna and we're gonna go to a 124 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:28.720 better, a better option so Arizon could survive in this uh tragic college football 125 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:35.399 realignment environment. Okay, Gabriel, thanks for all that we'll we'll comment on 126 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.799 that because we're just getting ready to talk about all this, so stay stay 127 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.919 on and we'll uh you'll we we've got some thoughts on that. I got 128 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.039 some thoughts on what you said, So thanks for calling. Okay, fire 129 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:52.919 you guys, take care. I've I've not heard that number. I do 130 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.840 follow Jason's share, but I didn't I don't follow him that close to that. 131 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.879 I saw that I've not heard that number. I'm pretty sure if that 132 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.720 number was pretty well sourced, we would heard it from some others. So 133 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.679 not to say that Jason doesn't have a good source, just saying I haven't 134 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.600 heard and and I mean if if I would can say, you're speculate, 135 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.519 if that's the number, then that's your right, that's that's not good enough, 136 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:15.960 and that and that, and that sends a couple of singnals. One 137 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.919 that sends that that that you know, the powers that be at the PAC 138 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.720 twelve couldn't get a deal done. And so if that's the number, then 139 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.000 you know, but you're you're right, they also have to be invited. 140 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.919 The thing is, would that would the Pact Big twelve invite the schools the 141 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.120 number? You may not, You may go out a problem date. Jay. 142 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.600 Honestly, you might want to go to the problem. You may try 143 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.120 to get dressed on that, but if no one's gonna say yes to you, 144 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:45.000 you ain't coming right. So I've not heard that at all. Um. 145 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.240 Uh, you know that the deal is still out there getting done. 146 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.120 Um, I don't know how far away we are from that deal game. 147 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.480 The funny thing about it, we're gonna talk about the subject. We have 148 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.840 some minutes before we go to the go to the guest. But uh, 149 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.360 there's another school that say, Okay, we're gonna go to the problem. 150 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.919 But does anybody want us at the problem? And do the people that we 151 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.919 were with even like us anymore? And then there's this whole thing you know 152 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.080 that they've talked about Yukon going over there, and I mean it's just there's 153 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.919 just so many things, Uh, so many things in play. We'll go 154 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.080 and talk about San Diego. Well, and so we did. We meant 155 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.879 to talk about this on Friday, never got around to it. But um, 156 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.440 there was an exchange of letters. San Diego State send a letter to 157 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.120 the Mountain West. We gotta do this quickly, saying that they they wanted 158 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.840 a one month extension on this June thirty deadline. By June thirty, san 159 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:35.679 Diego State has to has to um UH formally requests or withdrawal from the Mountain 160 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.360 West or the or the price of that more than doubles. It's sixteen and 161 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.639 a half million dollars exit fee if they would draw by June thirty. It 162 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.720 goes up to thirty four million dollars if they do it after June thirty, 163 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.559 because it's out they got to do this within the year of when they actually 164 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.799 would draw. So there's this this is sort of a deadline that everybody believes. 165 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.639 The pack the PAC twelve is working on um So they send a letter 166 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.440 requesting that. They also requested that the exit fee be reduced because San Diego 167 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.639 State, through its through its UH getting to the finals the NC Double A 168 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.320 Tournament this last year, it brings, you know, gets a lot of 169 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.799 NC Double A Tournament money into the league. If San Diego State leaves, 170 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.360 they don't get any of that money. So they're saying we should get some 171 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.799 of it by in terms of reduction of the exit fee. And then they 172 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.840 said, or whatever we have to pay on the exit fee, would like 173 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.559 to pay that in installments. Well today apparently the uh, the Mountain West 174 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.679 basically through them the finger on all of that and said no, no, 175 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.480 and no, not only no, no and no, but hell no. 176 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.360 And we just stand on top of that. Um. The Mountain West said 177 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.440 that that they consider the letter that they got from San Diego State saying that 178 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:48.879 they intend to withdraw. They're considering that their formal request to withdraw and are 179 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.120 going to withhold possibly another six million dollars that all the schools have coming to 180 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:58.320 them from whatever revenue sources that they're supposed to be a disbursement of six million 181 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.399 dollars to all of the schools in the saying you're not getting that either. 182 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.840 Well, this is one just big, one big mess because it's taken Daniel 183 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.039 Stay really screwed that up by you know, by by doing what it did. 184 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.360 They should have just you know, waited for it to come out and 185 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.200 now and instead they kind of you know, I heard, I heard somebody 186 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.240 says, it's like you told you're you're soon to be ex wife. I'm 187 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.639 leaving, but I don't want to leave for a month because I want to 188 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:24.639 wait and see if my girlfriend is gonna let me come over to her house. 189 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.000 Yeah, and can I borrow the guest house guest room? No? 190 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.919 Can Can I just stay here? And I just stay here and not paying 191 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.240 your rent? So anyways, Um, it's a it's a bad it's a 192 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.480 bad thing. It's gonna be a bad break up now with the San Diego 193 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.759 State and everything's gonna land. Okay, you know, Okay is the word 194 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.840 I use only because there's another really good word. We don't know what ever, 195 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.960 I think though we set our we set a deadline for June d of 196 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.080 June, right, and so we got two weeks. Do you think that 197 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.919 deadline will be met? It doesn't sound like I was gonna say every other 198 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.960 deadline has not been met, And it doesn't sound like this is a dead 199 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.720 deadline. That that uh, it's hard and fast. Is hard and fast? 200 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.960 That the Pack twelve. For some reason, it's saying, well, 201 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.360 we're just gonna you know, we may have to go past it. You 202 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.799 know. What's more of a deadline is what I hear is is a PAC 203 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.600 twelve football media day, which is that's a that's a bigger deadline than the 204 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.120 June thirty sent to state that well, we might be you might be graduated 205 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:26.679 by then yeah, you want to worry about this sports place.

This is an ongoing topic that we'll be 264 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.319 with you from time to time talking about this and just how kind of the 265 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.400 things always getting confused with so many things. Well, Adam, this is 266 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.720 day. I feel like every time we bring somebody on to talk about this, 267 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:07.759 and this is the second time we've had you on to talk about this. 268 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.200 We have to start over with the education process. Now I'm saying I'm 269 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.640 sitting on your website. You call your say, Arizona Assist is a member 270 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:22.359 driven marketplace, So you're not a collective? Um you're are you? Would 271 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.960 you would you call yourself sort of a marketing arm or marketing firm or marketing 272 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:33.960 agency for basketball athletes? I mean what would try and break that down little 273 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.400 bit for us? Absolutely, well, we are definitely not a collective. 274 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.039 We are a brand. Arizonasist is a it's not a five O, one 275 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.680 C three. It's not a nonprofit, although we are definitely looking into nonprofit 276 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.319 solutions that allow people to to uh donate in that way. But as of 277 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:56.519 now we are a brand meeting. The student athletes have endorsement deals with our 278 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.200 brand and a l deal. And so when we go make deals in the 279 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:06.279 community, or we have members or we sell merchandise or any of the things 280 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:11.279 that we do on Arizona this the student athletes are directly supported to that financially. 281 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.240 Right, So let's say they have they have different levels of a membership, 282 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:19.960 right, A thousand, one hundred, and it goes up incrementally. 283 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:22.720 So if I wanted to be part of this, I give one hundred bucks, 284 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.920 I get discounts for merchandise, things that I want to order, and 285 00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:32.839 things like that. Correct, an, Absolutely, we are working alongside Tommy 286 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:37.160 Lloyd, the team. We are not an official we are not officially endorsed 287 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.640 by the school. We are working alongside strategic partners, alumni and the team. 288 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.599 And every dollar that we generate, the overwhelming majority of that once we 289 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:49.799 pay our bills, goes directly to these student athletes to support nil So yet 290 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.799 one hundred dollars annual membership, you get a free T shirt, You get 291 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.160 a discount on all the cool wag we have on the website, You get 292 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.480 first access to all of our cool events, and unique things that we do, 293 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.880 memorabilia deals, anything that we drop on the website, you guys are 294 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.759 notified first. So one hundred dollars is a minimum membership and it goes up 295 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.440 from there. But because you know that every dollar that you spend with us 296 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:17.759 directly support Arizona men's basketball and Ila. Okay, so let me let me 297 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:19.359 ask it this way. So let's say I'm a basketball player at the Yo 298 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:23.119 Vang you know, just whoever, it could be anybody. What is the 299 00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:27.319 what is the agreement or the contract or whatever it is that I sign with 300 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:33.240 Arizona assist What does that consist of? It really consists of nothing other than 301 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:38.799 an ability to make a passive income through our platform. It does their no 302 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:44.960 exclusivity. The student athletes can continue and we encourage them to make nil deals 303 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.920 as they would in the community. If businesses or brands reach out to them, 304 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.279 we certainly could help be a conduit or connector between that entity. If 305 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:56.079 you have a business, any listeners who would want to have a student athlete 306 00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.799 show up or say something or being well, certainly we can connect you to 307 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.240 them. But we do not negotiate on the player's behalf or anything like that. 308 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:11.240 So there's lots of ways to get involved, but Arizonasist is one of 309 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.039 those. Nil agreement with them and the player received once we pay our bills, 310 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:19.319 the players receiving propably eighty percent of the revenue from everything we do on 311 00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:25.599 excite. Okay, So for instance, if I let let's say there's an 312 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:30.160 umar Batow shirt get jersey gets sold, is he the only one who gains 313 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.880 from that sale? Or does that money get all the money from all the 314 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:38.759 sales get thrown into a pot and it goes to all the players. Great 315 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:42.640 question. Umar Botow shirt or a specific player shirt. If we sell a 316 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:45.680 shirt, pay for thirty bucks. Again, we pay our bills, We 317 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.319 pay for the cost and design of the shirt, the printing, is shipping, 318 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.680 the mailing, and he gets eighty percent of the revenue of that shirt 319 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.039 directly for him. Okay. We sell something that Arizona sists logo that isn't 320 00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.519 specific to a player, and all memberships, by the way, everything that's 321 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:06.599 a membership that isn't a specifical player that is split equally equally amongst the team, 322 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:11.079 so everybody participates in that revenue. Where a player who has specific merchandise 323 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.359 or memorabilia gets directly, gets that money directly. And do they all Does 324 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:21.079 a player have to have some sort of assigned agreement or contract with you to 325 00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:25.119 be able to get that money? Yeah, okay, they must have an 326 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:30.400 agreement with us. It's a very in the simple agreement. They Again there's 327 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.359 no they're not forced to be a part of it. But in order to 328 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.119 be part of arizonasists, they must have assigned agreement with us. Unless they 329 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.480 transfer or leave school, that agreement um is valid, you know, throughout 330 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:48.640 their journey here. So we had the court catcher former catcher at you of 331 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.319 A last year and she talked about how crazy it is compared to when she 332 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.640 played obviously a few years back. And the initial thing was athletes coming in, 333 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.160 they chase their own rainbows. They get you know, car dealer X 334 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.240 to sign them, to sign them or have them go to a to a 335 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.519 Lexus place or whatever, and you signed your autograph, you get paid, 336 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.200 blah blah blah. And that's what nil was supposed to be, right, 337 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.000 And all of a sudden people are gaining money or having this big bag of 338 00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.039 cash. Well, if you want to come to Arizona and this is gonna 339 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:23.119 be part of yours. That was never the intent, correct, And that's 340 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:30.119 not our model either. So if there's any other entities or or collectives out 341 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.960 there or anything that is that's out there generating money in that way for a 342 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.960 student athletes, basketball or otherwise, we are not a part of that. 343 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.480 That's not our platform. That's not our model we are. We built our 344 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.799 model to be in the spirit of nil name, image and likeness, and 345 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.400 that's what we do with our events, with our experiences, with our merchandise. 346 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:53.839 Everything now are on our website is split equally if it's not player specific 347 00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:57.359 and directly goes to the player. If it is, there's no where, 348 00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:02.319 there's no guaranteed revenue for the play, there's no minimum dollar amount, and 349 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:03.839 there's no money in a city, in a bucket anywhere. That's not how 350 00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.640 our model works. Okay. And then we also know that Arizona is international 351 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.359 player. You you know passport you has a number of players. And we 352 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:17.240 talked about this and you've made this very clear last week. Um Uh, 353 00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:19.640 they are able to get money, right, We talked about, well, 354 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.119 then they can't work because none of visa or whatever. But but tell me 355 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:30.160 explain that to me. Us absolutely nil is actually a great way for international 356 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.240 players to earn revenue, at least the model that we've created because as under 357 00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.920 federal laws of which we do not ever want to jeopardize, and we spent 358 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.359 a great deal of time, energy and money to make sure that we are 359 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:47.279 in hearing though not only you know, University of Arizona code, but uh, 360 00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:51.200 you know laws and whatnot. Mean, international players cannot do work under 361 00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:55.000 their visa. So there's no work required for Arizona SIST. We don't require 362 00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:57.480 them to show up to things, sine autographs do any work. All they 363 00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:00.640 do is they give us their name, image, likeness, right, we 364 00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:07.599 use those things, they approve those things, and then we can sell merchandise 365 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:10.160 or they and if they show up to events, that's up to them. 366 00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.519 They don't. We don't require them to do that or force them. So 367 00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:17.759 it's a great path of revenue stream for international athletes. Okay, so all 368 00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:21.400 right, so now this finally makes sense to me. So you know, 369 00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:23.960 but the one thing that people who are listening have to understand is this is 370 00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:30.920 just for men's basketball, correct, Arizona Assist is just for men's basketball. 371 00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:36.000 Currently. We are not working with any other sport. Um. We are 372 00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:42.240 working strictly with Tommy and the team to ensure the Arizona men's basketball team has 373 00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:47.039 an NIL solution. Okay, So with all the stuff that's going on at 374 00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:52.720 the federal level, to possibly put together some legislation that would that would govern 375 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:57.519 over NIL and all the other things that are going on, most certainly collectives 376 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:02.799 and stuff which are different from what you guys do. Is any of what's 377 00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:06.960 going on at the federal level going to have an impact on Arizona assist or 378 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:15.519 groups organizations like it, I would say potentially only become because we're we kind 379 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:18.160 of joke sometimes, but we're building the plane as we fly it. It 380 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:21.000 is a little bit of the wild West out there in terms of NIL. 381 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:25.799 Every school is scrambling to catch up. Every program is trying to figure it 382 00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:29.680 out. There are hundreds of models out there. We feel that ours is 383 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:33.799 the most nimble and the and the nicest one because for that reason, it 384 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.240 allows us to pivot as the laws change, as the rule change, or 385 00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.599 as the marketplace changes. We have built it in a way that democratizes that. 386 00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.759 So every fan, every alumni, every person who loves the University of 387 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:51.519 Arizona men's basketball team can participate. Um, so, as far as we 388 00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:56.720 know there we there's no changes imminent that would affect us, but certainly will 389 00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.680 be responsive to those changes if anything does come. So I know you have 390 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.160 the website, go ahead and give that to us. How many members do 391 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:10.920 you have now? So Arizona Assists dot com. That's the website. Definitely 392 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.720 check it out. We have amazing events coming up from a golf tournament where 393 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.839 our members can play golf and interact with the team and get autographs and have 394 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.759 fun and it's a great and then we have a pickleball with Tommy Lloyd event 395 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:29.799 happening in October at Corbett, the new pickleball venue downtown. We have hundreds 396 00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:33.440 and hundreds of members right now. We're looking to double our membership next year. 397 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:36.839 Within this year, I should say, we have lots of membership levels 398 00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:41.119 from one hundred dollars to thousand dollars to corporate membership so where we can creatively 399 00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.079 customize a deal for you. So lots of ways to participate, and we're 400 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.200 excited to get going in year two with tons more events and lots more cool 401 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.720 merch on the site. What one of the things when I was going into 402 00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:56.119 the stuff regarding the legislation, Would there ever be a point where you might 403 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.839 have to You might, because if you are complaining the most about is the 404 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.759 transparency of it, that that people don't know what's going on, don't know 405 00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:10.440 how much money is being thrown around. Could you see Arizonassists following being in 406 00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:14.200 a situation where it's going to have to divulge it's business in that way, 407 00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.319 it's going to have to say how much athletes are getting and that type of 408 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.799 stuff, And would you be opposed to that? If that is ever mandated 409 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:27.240 upon us, or something that you know is asked of us, we would 410 00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:33.079 certainly do that. We are very transparent with everything we say on the website 411 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.160 is built in a way to allow every click, every dollar, every detail 412 00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.079 to be captured. We know to the penny what we're distributing and what we're 413 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.000 collecting. And we're very transparent with our business model because it's not a five 414 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.640 O, one C three, it's not a collective. It is a business 415 00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:53.079 and it's a brand, and so we are very open to that. But 416 00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.960 yeah, we if if the world changes, we want it to be able 417 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:02.920 to change with it. Right now, Arizona dot Com is the NIL entity 418 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:06.559 that is as forward facings, we can to make sure that these student athletes 419 00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:11.039 can get NIL dollars directly for every sale, every membership. So absolutely, 420 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:15.480 yeah, that's it's becoming more and more clear, I think as you get 421 00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.559 and you're only like, what eighteen months in how many months in? Yeah, 422 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:25.359 a little less to that. We got started right around January of last 423 00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:29.680 season, so I would say about that. Summertimes a little slow obviously with 424 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:33.039 a lot going on. But we're ramping up for one hell of a sophomore 425 00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.720 season here and we're really excited about the new roster and the new players, 426 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:38.680 and May seems to be very excited about being a part of our Zone Assists 427 00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:41.880 too, So more more to come, but we are. We're very excited 428 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.240 for year two. One of the things that I've saw when I went to 429 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.680 the website was a lot of the cool swag each player has, you know, 430 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:55.839 their own creations or your creations with their with their imagination. Absolutely we 431 00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.279 leave with all the players we get there what they'd like to see on shirts 432 00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:03.079 or on swag our brand. We help build logos for players, from Pella 433 00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.480 Larson's logo to cool things for Omar Ballo and some of the other players. 434 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.920 So we try to um make their their ideas or their uh you know, 435 00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.519 whatever they're interest did come alive in our merchandise and then a lot of the 436 00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:19.400 time to our design teams and our talented people will come up with other things 437 00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:25.440 too. Because we don't have the the the rules of Arizona UM where we 438 00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:29.680 don't use the blockade, we don't use their uh their imagery, but we 439 00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.400 can create our own fun things that maybe the university wouldn't always allow for. 440 00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.960 So we could definitely have more fun because we're our own brand. Okay, 441 00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.279 yeah, all right, thank you. It makes so much more sense to 442 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.240 me now, and well, at least what you do, you know, 443 00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.880 I mean, there's still this whole thing of what a collective is versus what 444 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.400 a collective is supposed to be. That's the that's sort of the big the 445 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:56.839 big thing. It's that there and everything that you said about what exactly you 446 00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.640 guys do all yeah, absolutely, I mean it it's been you know, 447 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.359 it's been a learning curve for everybody involved. We are just one um, 448 00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:07.160 one group that's helping support the ni elephants to do you and the reversity of 449 00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:12.599 Barrizona. Everybody's working really hard to catch up and to do cool things. 450 00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.319 But for us, I mean anything from you know, the fun Tommy Lloyd 451 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:20.039 BTFC T shirt that he wore the press conference, which was our shirt that 452 00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:23.039 we uh, you know that he was highlighting. You can go to our 453 00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:27.960 website find all these cool things and more and at least be part of our 454 00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:32.240 of our group which is working really hard to make sure that Arizon Their's basketball 455 00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:36.640 remains competitive in this changing world here of college sports. Right, Okay, 456 00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:38.119 Now, I know you're gonna have a voice on our stations here and I 457 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:42.599 hard down the road. Uh. And your golf tournament has that sooner? 458 00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.039 Yeah, we have it scheduled for September eighth. Way more to come on 459 00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:51.960 that. We have pickleball happening on October fourteenth, um, and lost more 460 00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:54.519 fun things that we're gonna do with local partners and local businesses in town to 461 00:32:54.640 --> 00:33:00.319 allow our members access to the team, access to great mur today's memorabilia events, 462 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:04.039 and more. So. It all starts at Arizona Assist dot com. 463 00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.119 So go check it out and be part of it by you know, just 464 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.119 even a basic membership at one hundred dollars knowing that that money is going to 465 00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:15.200 directly support our student athletes.

Okay. And then and then if if a T shirt with your 473 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:50.519 name on it or jersey gets so, you get eighty percent of the of 474 00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:54.119 the revenue or the profit of that. Okay, God, that's that's actually 475 00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:58.039 pretty simple. Yeah, that's how they'm trying to make as simple as possible. 476 00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:00.279 Uh and eighty percent, you know, it's just kind of can now 477 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:01.960 probably you know where that money is going. And then there's the dread in 478 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:05.599 collected, which we can talk about that, right, and then that's for 479 00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:07.880 another day.

Once that when news came, 533 00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:53.639 you knew it was over. Well yeah, but you know. The thing 534 00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:58.000 of it is, though, Steve, is that, um, as you 535 00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:04.840 read how bad this was, it's it's you know, it was a dui 536 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:10.280 is always bad. But the extent to what happened here with Bob Huggins suggests 537 00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:15.760 a whole a whole bunch of things. Apparently he did. According to the 538 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:21.159 police report, he did not even know he was in Pittsburgh. Oh really, 539 00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:23.320 yeah, he didn't. He had no idea where he was. All 540 00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:28.760 right, Um, they stopped him, well, they didn't stop him. 541 00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.440 He was he was on He was just blocking traffic because he had a shredded 542 00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:35.519 tire and he's sitting there with the door opened to his car. All this 543 00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:37.760 isn't the police report, and then they had to move the car and realize 544 00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:44.880 he was hammered. He blew a point two one. Yeah, let me 545 00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:46.159 just let me let me say this. And you know, years ago as 546 00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:51.559 a as a police reporter, when they were first coming out with new breathalyzers 547 00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:54.280 and that type of stuff, I did a story where, um, we 548 00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:59.239 went to went to Marana High School and it was it was myself and uh 549 00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.679 Nina tray sot Fry to remember her, she was an anchor at k GUN. 550 00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:07.840 We went to a long time ago, well we're talking nineteen eighty three. 551 00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:13.519 So, but the point of it, the point of this still is 552 00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:19.000 is current in that we went to Marana High School and they wanted to do 553 00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:24.079 a test. They wanted to show kids what being impaired. At the time, 554 00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:30.400 the legal limit was point one zero. It's been dropped to point zero 555 00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:32.000 eight now, but at the time is point one. Oh. So we'll 556 00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:35.320 go in there in the morning, they have Nina and I do all these 557 00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.039 driving tests in the parking lot. You know, the students came out for 558 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.360 that. We did all these driving tests. We did well on them, 559 00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:44.760 and then we spent the day in a motor home on the grounds there with 560 00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.280 Sheriff's department people so are like that, and we drank me and I got 561 00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.239 hammered purposely, purposely because of what they wanted to do is get us hammered 562 00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.639 and then under their supervision, try and go do these tests again. So 563 00:39:57.519 --> 00:39:59.920 so at three o'clock in the afternoon, all the kids come back out. 564 00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:02.199 We've been there. But since we got through like eight o'clock in the morning 565 00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:06.800 assignment, you liked, well, I didn't at the end of the day 566 00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:10.880 because I was really drunk and I was and I was I was sick to 567 00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:15.079 my stomach and it was it was awful. We got to a point zero 568 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:20.000 eight eight, So we didn't even get to the legal limit. We did 569 00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:22.440 these tests and we were horrible at it, right, you know, we 570 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.559 both failed these these driving tests horribly and we didn't even get to the legal 571 00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:29.000 limit. Now, they did tell us that, you know later on, 572 00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:31.440 you know, even though we had stopped drinking, you know, our blood 573 00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:36.199 alcohol level was going to go up, so we were clearly gonna be you 574 00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:39.400 know, above the legal limit. But when I think about how impaired I 575 00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:45.519 was at point zero eight eight, and think about Bob Huggins at a point 576 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:51.920 two one, big, right, you know, they are so lucky, 577 00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:55.679 or he is so lucky he didn't kill himself and he didn't kill somebody else. 578 00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:00.199 And you know, and the thing that I've always heard is that if 579 00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:02.760 at point two one, or you know, a point basically what I was 580 00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:07.400 at a point two, if you're still functioning well enough to drive a car, 581 00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:12.480 you've got a problem. You've got a drinking problem because you've been able 582 00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:15.320 to function at a high level. Now does Bob Huggins have a drinking problem. 583 00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:21.760 Maybe maybe he does, because this is the second dui um, But 584 00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:27.039 you know people who people who don't drink to that extent on a regular basis 585 00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:29.920 can't function. You know, I had to be driven home, obviously, 586 00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:31.719 I had to be driven home from that, uh, from that, from 587 00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:36.599 that thing. But you know, I've always took that as a thing of 588 00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.119 I gotta you gotta get really really hammered to be legally drunk. Yeah, 589 00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:45.119 you know, so he didn't say what he was doing in Pittsburgh. Somebody 590 00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:49.400 said he's got a sister in law or something, like that that lives there, 591 00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:53.519 but he had no idea that he was there and why he was there. 592 00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:59.280 Um, it's just really bad. And so you know, obviously they 593 00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:00.199 had to you know, had to do. They had to do what they 594 00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:02.519 had to do. I'm sure they said, you can either resign or we're 595 00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:06.599 gonna fire you. Either way, either way you gotta be gone. Sure. 596 00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:09.679 Yeah, too many too much smoke there to not say okay, you're 597 00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:13.559 gonna be okay. Yeah, because he was already in trouble from two weeks 598 00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:15.480 two months ago. Well see, and that's the thing. You know, 599 00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.360 a bunch of players, including Kurr Crisa you know, went out on social 600 00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:21.719 media said they, you know, we love the coach. We're sorry. 601 00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:24.639 You know, you meant a lot to me, yadda yadda YadA, but 602 00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:28.480 you still can't be that guy, no matter how good of a guy you 603 00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:30.239 are. Otherwise, in one of the tweets from the basketball experts that we 604 00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:35.960 know said, uh, great, coach did really well, held people accountable. 605 00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:37.079 And then when he said when he wrote that, I'm thinking, well, 606 00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:43.760 he didn't held himself account And we've we've known him, he's been kind 607 00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.119 of surly for a long time in the business. He likes who he likes. 608 00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:50.320 Uh, sority coach, a tough coach, to manning coach, and 609 00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:52.159 a lot. It's all fine and good, but uh, but he was 610 00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:54.760 sixty nine. He was probably gonna call it quits here in a year or 611 00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:58.199 two three. Yeah, he was probably gonna be This is gonna probably be 612 00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:02.400 his last year anyway. Not that's okay. But then again, if you 613 00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:06.239 you know, there are two ways of looking at this, because one of 614 00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:09.360 the things I heard was that he most more often than not has the driver 615 00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:13.840 so that this doesn't happen. But then the question is, okay, if 616 00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:15.519 you do, if you get this hammered so much that you need a driver, 617 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:19.760 what kind of a problem do you have? Right? And then again 618 00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:23.519 it said that in the story, what stories not just just some power various 619 00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:27.079 talk you know, talk shows and stuff there. And then the other the 620 00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:30.599 other point that somebody made was, and that people always make, is if 621 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:35.760 you did this, you've probably done it before other times that you didn't get 622 00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:37.480 caught and got away with it. You know, if if you're out there 623 00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:43.360 blown them two one and driving around, it probably isn't the first time you've 624 00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:46.039 blown You know, you've been intoxicated and driving around. So I don't know, 625 00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:51.519 it's just they had. You know, On one hand, I feel 626 00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:53.480 bad for the guy because clearly there's some sort of an issue, there's a 627 00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:58.039 problem. Well on the other hand, I have no patience for people to 628 00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:01.039 do that. Well, well now now is everyone because it's a local connection 629 00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:05.960 with Kerr. You mentioned Kerr who who left here to go there obviously was 630 00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:08.519 paid to go there, you know, whatever amount of money, and people 631 00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:12.639 are saying, well, he might leave or go somewhere else. I doubt 632 00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:15.320 if he does that. He was paid to go there. Uh, they'll 633 00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:19.159 be fine. I mean, come on, coach, it's a good program. 634 00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.960 They'll be yeah, exactly exact program. Whether the thing is the timing 635 00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:25.000 of this in terms of gating the coach. But they get a coach, 636 00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:29.000 I mean that coach has got to leave wherever they are well or unless they 637 00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:32.760 find somebody that's pretty good, that's not coaching right now. There's there's been 638 00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:37.000 a few names thrown out there, Dick Mytael throughout, Tom creen out there, 639 00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:38.840 and I don't think that's a good fit. But there's a game that 640 00:44:38.840 --> 00:44:42.679 you probably won't even like. I like it a lot. Is is the 641 00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:45.239 Belne who coached to Michigan. Let him be the stop gap for a year 642 00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:49.079 or two, and then guy, get the guy you really want. Yeah, 643 00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:52.400 because he's the heck of a coach. He's got Michigan to two lights 644 00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:55.679 to other teams hinds, because they're gonna need something tomorrow, right yeah, 645 00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:59.960 not like today? Yeah yeah today. So so here here we are. 646 00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:02.920 It's kind of like and not so much like this, but I'm just trying 647 00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:05.599 to think of the time, you know this thing. I might be talking 648 00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:09.280 out of my butt. Uh. When Luke left and they got Kevin O'Neill, 649 00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:13.000 it's like they had no choice. Kevin was here. They had to 650 00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.440 get a guy who was available. Yeah, yeah, you're right, So 651 00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:19.079 they had to kind of go with it until they couldn't go with it anymore. 652 00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:24.559 And and that's the footy takes him and him and him and um cum 653 00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:30.000 crean, um O'Neill and um since he had the coach or or West Virginia 654 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:34.920 coach, very close friends Huggins, Yeah, very because you talked about him 655 00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:38.119 all all the time. Um, but that's for another day. Yeah, 656 00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:43.880 but anyways, that is just such a messy thing. And uh again, 657 00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:46.000 whatever help Huggins needs to get or maybe he's sixty nine years old, he 658 00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:50.000 doesn't need it, doesn't just kid, I'm just gonna go on with my 659 00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:53.159 life. Yeah, as long as he's not out there, As long as 660 00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:55.639 he's not out there driving fronk. Okay, cool, let's take this. 661 00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:00.760 Hi, you're on the air and I on the ball. Hey guys, 662 00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:04.880 George here, Hey George, how are you pretty good?

I wish I was loved this much of the house. 665 00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:19.960 No one cares, No one cares. Go ahead, George. It just 666 00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:24.159 got on the Bobby Huggins thing. Uh. It just reminds me of Howard 667 00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:30.639 Stern. Howard Stern just hired. I mean he Bob Huggins must make the 668 00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:36.239 money that Howard Stern made when he first started in radio. But Howard Stern 669 00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:38.719 was always doing these stories on celebrities and just said, you know what, 670 00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:43.880 I'm gonna hire a driver and it doesn't matter. But when I call you, 671 00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:47.360 you show up and is Ronnie's the limo driver or whatever that guy's name 672 00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:51.280 was. I don't know if I have that name correct, But he hired 673 00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:54.000 a limo driver, bought a limo for fifty thousand or whatever it was back 674 00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:57.920 then, and just said, look, when I call you pick me up, 675 00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:00.679 you take me some place, and you drive me off that way. 676 00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:05.880 Nobody can ever actually doing this. But now you have lift in uber and 677 00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:09.639 all that stuff, and Bobby Huggins he's got to be he's got to have 678 00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:15.000 twenty million dollars in the bank, right, he's been a coach for twenty 679 00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:19.960 years. Oh, the idea is more than that. That's why it's even 680 00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:23.440 moren't excusable for a guy like like Huggins and some you know, other celebrities 681 00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:28.079 and athletes who have done this to do that because they have the means, 682 00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:31.800 you know, to not do this right, I mean again, and buy 683 00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:37.039 a Limo for fifty grand and then or one hundred thousand dollars or my back 684 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:42.400 or something, and then hire a guy that you can call no matter what. 685 00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:46.119 Hey, you're my writer. Die and you don't have to in that 686 00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:49.800 case literally a little writer or die. He just kind of do it. 687 00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:52.679 Just even if you're out of town. It's pretty simple. I mean you're 688 00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:55.159 out of town. Because he was not in his area, get somebody to 689 00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:59.800 take himself or not get somebody. Just get Uber easy, very simple, 690 00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:05.159 and that's why it's an app on your phone. And maybe he's an older 691 00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:08.880 guy, and maybe he doesn't realize the apps. If he didn't realize where 692 00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:13.039 he was, maybe he doesn't know how to use an app. I don't 693 00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:17.320 know, but maybe he doesn't deserve to be coaching basketball at that point either. 694 00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.880 Yeah, well it's happened. He's gone, and we'll see what happens 695 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:30.280 out now. Right Anyway, I just thought Howard Stern was a pioneer. 696 00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:32.480 When it came to that, he was like, I'm tired. Do I 697 00:48:32.559 --> 00:48:37.840 have to do this in the news every day? And why I'm not gonna 698 00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:39.639 ever let that happen to me. I'm gonna hire a driver. Sure he 699 00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:45.480 did us apartment all right, George, hey Man, thanks much, appreciate 700 00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:51.559 it, Thanks for appreciate Welcome back. Thank you, George. We've been 701 00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:54.239 back already for a week. More than the week. I'm glad that people 702 00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:59.960 missed the site that he doesn't love somewhere else. But again, and that's 703 00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:01.679 what makes it even more inexcusable. As as he said, you know, 704 00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:07.119 you've got the means to not do that. He you know what's gonna He's 705 00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:10.480 sixty nine. He probably has some coaching chops left in him. He might 706 00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:13.480 say, you know, okay, I'm gonna go through rehab or whatever. 707 00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:15.760 I'm just assuming now. Um, I don't need to solve his problems. 708 00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:20.639 But I bet you coaches again. I bet you anything he coaches again, 709 00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:23.880 at whatever level he coach again. Come on, he's a pretty good coach. 710 00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:27.840 And if you're a pretty good coach, they're gonna find you. Patino 711 00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:30.360 did it. There's a list, long list of people they find him. 712 00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:32.960 If you can coach him, they'll take another chance on him one more time. 713 00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:37.960 Well you know, well that's gonna happen. Yeah, Well, if 714 00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:44.039 you hire him, be ready to to deal with Yeah, they'll be clauses 715 00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:47.840 up to wazoo. Yeah for all this, I just you know, I 716 00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:53.079 mean, I uh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't 717 00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:57.760 know. It's look but but and we haven't been brought up the thing that 718 00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:00.840 he should have gotten fired for the first time. You with the you know, 719 00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:02.880 the homophobic slur on the radio. I mean, he's got there. 720 00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:07.079 Those are those are big strikes against him. I don't know if you if 721 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:09.360 you was a school may maybe like you said, he goes and coaches at 722 00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:15.400 a small college somewhere, even to junior college somewhere or something. Come on, 723 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:19.599 Bliss can get a coach head coaching job somewhere, and there is that, 724 00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:22.519 you know, if you can coach, if you can play, they'll 725 00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:24.519 find a place for you.

Thursday Friday, 733 00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:55.840 I said, the guy who had the lead all the time, fer, 734 00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:59.480 I'm thinking, Fellow, he's not gonna he's not gonna win it. 735 00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:01.119 He's not gonna with it.

I was 740 00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:17.440 thinking about my mom? Right, his mom had passed away.

Well, Ricky Foller basically said the same thing to him before he 743 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:25.400 even said that to anybody else. He said, Hey, your mom is 744 00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:29.000 really proud or something like that. That makes sense. Yeah, that makes 745 00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:30.440 sense that that was all about that. Very cool. Yeah, but it 746 00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:34.840 was really cool.
