You know, 13 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.000 yeah, Well, the thing is how good they're going to be. We 14 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.439 won't know. In fact, you can't grant a class until three four years 15 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.680 down down the road because half of them. But here's the thing, and 16 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:12.599 it's one of those things where you know, fans and people who followed this 17 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.760 were saying, well, Arizona's not getting any guys there. You know, 18 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.159 they've only got one guy in the you know, committed and so just the 19 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.400 relaxed they're doing their you know, if they're doing their work, it takes 20 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.599 some time. So but you know, but I want to know now. 21 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.480 But you know, this world is like I don't know, you don't like 22 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.760 anything else. Once again, you know, when you see a guy's committee, 23 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.879 you say, Okay, who else was recruiting that guy? Yeah, 24 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.120 and you know you're seeing them. You know they're they're going up against them 25 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.239 some decent programs to get guys right, Unlike so many times when you were 26 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.560 talking about it and that was so bad, Steve, why do you bring 27 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:49.680 them up again? Don't talk about it anymore. So it's like you said, 28 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.719 hey, remember that time I kicked you in the nerd. Let's talk 29 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.040 about that. Let's not okay, we're a cup things times. Uh. 30 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.280 De Laney Snell has qualified a second event in the Olympics, which is the 31 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.079 ten m platform yep, ten minute platforms. She's I forgot that she had 32 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.960 competed in that one last time too. Yeah, but I'll tell you what. 33 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:16.159 Let's say let's let's say it is Delaney Channell getting to Carrie strug territory 34 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.039 when it comes to you know, the Olympics, right, I mean, 35 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.840 Carrie Struggle only went the one time, but you know she was such a 36 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.800 big deal. What you know what she accomplished there. But Delaney Chanelle, 37 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.240 you know, a Tucson kid who's uh, you know, two time Olympian 38 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:35.080 twice in two events. You know, you can start arguing that she might 39 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.520 be the greatest Olympian to come out of come out of Tucson, especially if 40 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.120 she hits if she gets in, you know, another medal or two in 41 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.639 this in this Olympics. She you know, she won a silver last time. 42 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.479 Sure, sure, no, that's sounds that's good and obviously u of 43 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:51.759 a she was one of the signature athletes to come through in the last ten 44 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.800 years, right right, So good for her, good for her. Six 45 00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:02.159 protesters are facing charges after storming the toll out the PGA Tour Travelers Championship yesterday. 46 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.599 And they should and they should you play silly games, you get price. 47 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.000 It was just dumb but what are you gonna do? Uh? It 48 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.439 was funny because there's a video of them dragging them off the thing, and 49 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.479 like one of them is going by and like he's all about the land and 50 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.639 the climate, that's what they're protesting. And as he goes by, he 51 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.560 kicks over a big pot full of flowers. I'm like, you just killed 52 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:30.080 those flowers. What are you doing? What are you doing? Be kind? 53 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.319 What do those flowers do to you? Right? Nothing? Anyway? 54 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.960 Sorry about that. I thought that was funny. Game seven of the Stanley 55 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:42.319 Cup Finals is tonight at five pm. The Oilers are looking to a race 56 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.639 three nothing deficit, so you want juice. I couldn't watch this. I 57 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.560 don't watch hockey. I don't Game seven of a Stanley Cup. Man, 58 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.560 there's nothing like it, Steve, There's nothing like it. Not not a 59 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.560 Game seven of a World Series, not a Game seven of an NBA final, 60 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.080 Game seven of a Stanley Cup. Is you're you're watching right? You're 61 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.479 talking like, are you gonna be like glued to it? Like it could 62 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.000 be history. There hasn't been a three to zero comeback in like forty two. 63 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.000 Nineteen forty two is what I saw that? Uh? I mean look, 64 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.480 did the championship of the College World Series is also on, so I'll 65 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:21.519 probably be flipping channels. But I'm I. I was just rooting for this, 66 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.040 right. I was really disappointed how quickly the NBA Playoffs were over, 67 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.160 and what a bad series it was. I was rooting for the I was 68 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.439 rooting for the Oilers every game after they went down three zip. This is 69 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.879 fun. I don't care who wins. No dog in the no dog in 70 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.920 the uh in the in the in the fight fight. But I'm not even 71 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.040 gonna put any money on it. But I think I'll be watching. I 72 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.920 know we've been together too long. I've starting to finish your sentences. I 73 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:55.600 know I don't want a divorce. I know. I know. You know 74 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.800 we're just going out, Steve. We're not good, Yeah, we're just 75 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.000 I don't want to be a statistic. Okay, we've got the College World 76 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:06.319 Series Game three between Tennessee and Texas. Yeah, what was the screw yesterday? 77 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.240 Because I watched it and then I didn't watch it. I thought it 78 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:14.240 was like Tennessee one, so both one sided? Yeah, yeah, it 79 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:19.519 was relatively one sided. Okay, I know that I first game was nine 80 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:24.639 to five. Yeah, I had that on and it was it was two 81 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.879 to one. It was a tight game to one, and I think Tennessee 82 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.680 hit a two run homer in the eighth Inny. Yeah, and that's what 83 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.639 they do. They lead the league or lead the station. Runs should be 84 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:38.480 good. Edwin Diaz was suspended ten games. Are sticky stuff on his hands 85 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.439 last night, and he has the option to appeal. He is the eighth 86 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.439 pitcher to face the suspension since the sticky stuff banned a couple of years. 87 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.959 They did they say an idea of what it was or what or he's he 88 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.480 was pissed, so he's claiming that he didn't do anything wrong whatever. I 89 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.399 think I saw something that he like picked up the dirt before he came in 90 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.399 to pitch, which is a legal or something. I don't know. Out 91 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.079 the sticky stuff was dirt. I don't think it was actual sticky stuff, 92 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:10.040 but the his hands were sticky. Yeah. You can't do that, are 93 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.160 you? Is this one the the guy who got called up to the majors? 94 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:16.800 Did you see this one? I'm thinking of Blue Jays guy. Oh 95 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.079 yeah, did you have that? I don't know his name or Elvis Martinez 96 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.519 name. Guy gets called up to the Major. Steve first time gonna make 97 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:31.079 his debut, plays two games, suspended for eighty games for peds. I'm 98 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.560 like, what are you doing now? Do he really will? Yeah? 99 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.800 Well that's it. He probably was doing those to get himself up there. 100 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.720 But dude, you're busted. You're out here. God see you. And 101 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.240 you know a guy like that, he'll never be back up. Nobody's gonna 102 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:51.879 take nobody's gonna take the time. Or Elvis Martinez. That's why I'm shutting 103 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.720 my elvis frompression then. But flat you don't even know who Elvis is? 104 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:01.439 Probably do you do? You tell me? You do? Ya? Okay? 105 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:09.720 Yeah, my share, Okay. Scottie Barnes signed a five year, 106 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.879 two hundred and seventy million dollar contract extension with the Raptors, which compared to 107 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:20.680 a couple of years ago the NBA. Scotty who Scotty barn That'll tell you, 108 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.360 Steve, that'll tell you. That'll tell you. That's all I got. 109 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.920 That's it, Okay, I got one.

Big dude, 112 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.839 threw hard, hit the hell out of the ball. He was one 113 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.319 of those guys who with d h when he didn't pitch. Key a key 114 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.680 guy on those both the seventy five and seventy six teams. Died of a 115 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.480 heart attack on Sunday. He was seventy years old, you know, not 116 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:59.480 not very old, but he was that that those two teams seventy four, 117 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.639 seventy five, seventy six ts. It was a seventy five team that went 118 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.319 for like fifty eight and six or something like that. Ron Hassey, Dave 119 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.879 Stegman, what did all those teams when these they lost, they lost, 120 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.639 They lost in the regional in seventy five, but then they won it in 121 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.480 seventy six, or maybe it was seventy four that they lost in the regional, 122 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.120 but they wanted in seventy six coming out of the loser's bracket. But 123 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.879 he was he he was He was Sho Hee o Tani by that, I 124 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.839 mean dude with that. He batted when he didn't pitch, and he threw 125 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.840 gas. And how good of a hitter was he? He was a really 126 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.440 good hitter. Well he was the MVP of the world. Did he play 127 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.200 beyond I don't know. Uh. Oh, it says he was later drafted 128 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.559 in Nathan by the Pittsburgh Pirates. I guess he was drafted. Doesn't sound 129 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.480 like he but he's still number He's still eleventh in career wins as a pitcher, 130 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.840 won twenty seven games as era was two fourteen, So he's still number 131 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.159 seven. Uh. He had three sixty four in the College World Series. 132 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.799 Uh, it's when he was MVP. Okay, anything else, I think 133 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.039 I got got a good guest for tomorrow. I'll let you know what did 134 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.080 I have? There was one more thing that I wanted to bring up, 135 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.519 but I can't remember what it was. I forget, But that's why that's 136 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:18.320 where I am. Okay, I missed this. That guy's name? What 137 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:24.039 did you forget? But again, looking forward to the to this game tonight, 138 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.960 I don't I don't know that. I'll sit there and watch the whole 139 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.960 thing. Got I'm saying I'm not going to bet on it, but you 140 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.919 never know. By the time you get hold it starts at five o'clock. 141 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.519 Did you include that Illinois kid that went to uh the basketball player? You 142 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.720 know, there's always the guys here rightly kind of defending you. A. 143 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.519 Yeah. I saw these guys fighting over that Arizona fan trying to tell Illinois 144 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.720 fan that they suck Illinois fans, saying we kicked your ass in two thousand 145 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.480 and five. You know that kind of stuff. It's it's kind of fun 146 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.960 to watch all that Stuff's Riley's name is Will Riley, the number ten overall 147 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.919 recruit in the twenty five class. You know, just like I said before, 148 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.519 this is the worst thing that happened to Tommy Lloyd. He'll be fined, 149 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.399 He'll find another one. Right, you don't get every guy. We 150 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.519 don't get every right, you don't get every guy, you know. I 151 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:18.960 think Tommy's good with the guys that he's getting. He's been making a bunch 152 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:24.120 of offers out there. Oh here's the one I just saw that. This 153 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.120 is what's gonna bring up because you love the Dodgers so much of Clayton Kershaw, 154 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:35.000 who was doing rehab appearances. They're shinting him down for now. He's 155 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:41.279 got some and they call it lingering soreness in his surgically repaired shoulder. So 156 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.279 obviously not going well for Clayton Kershaw, which sucks. I have one because 157 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.799 I don't think we talked about this is the Arizona's assistant coach basketball. Oh 158 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.759 yeah, he's gonna go and coach the Sacramento. The thing that I'll miss 159 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:03.080 most most is his ani anime on the sideline and the arguments him and Tommy 160 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.919 have on the sideline. You know, Tommy able to settle down enough. 161 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:13.639 He calls him his excited Italian on the sideline, you come down, sit 162 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.759 down quiet. Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of people you know, 163 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.120 saying that they're gonna miss it. They are. I still think that they 164 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.000 need somebody extraly those guys to help out, because he was one of those 165 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.159 guys. And not to see that Jack and Steve Robinson just but he just 166 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:35.840 gave you a trusted other set of eyes right that that you had. And 167 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:43.159 it's funny because people really don't realize how much these coaches who are making the 168 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.960 gazillions of dollars rely on their assistance, you know, sure one to keep 169 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.679 their heads straight, to to to see things they don't see, to bounce 170 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.320 stuff off, bounce stuff off of you know, she would go with this 171 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.480 guy or that guy. Well, let me tell you and I'll bring this 172 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:03.440 up publicly. People know this Ross. Ross was was Loot's right hand man 173 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.559 for years, right, for years, and when he was no longer that 174 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.960 guy there was only struggled a little bit with that because it was at the 175 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:15.360 end of his career and he needed he needed a guy like Ross right, 176 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.279 he needed he didn't need a guy. He didn't need a guy. Oh, 177 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:24.600 I did see the Cavaliers. Yeah, Kenny Atkinson, right, they 178 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.159 spot because that was the spot when that opened up. When that opened up, 179 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.320 people were thinking, you know that coaches that the Lakers were looking at 180 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.080 might wind up. You know, you could go over to Cleveland. Because 181 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.480 there was a lot of debate on whether or not the Cleveland Cavaliers Cleveland Cavaliers 182 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:48.440 job is a better job right now today than the Lakers job. I don't 183 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.279 know. I mean yeah, I think would you, I mean, of 184 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.759 course you would take the job. I would take the job too for Lakers 185 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.600 paying five ten The laborers came and asked me the day to coach your team. 186 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.240 I think I would. Yeah, But the thing is you have to 187 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.120 also deal with thew that goes on going. And you know that I could 188 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.200 deal with that for five million a year, even for a two million a 189 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.840 year, you know, they could get me cheap. Well, you know 190 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.919 we're already better than Erst and Young. You know what we're talking about. 191 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.360 Oh, I want to say real quick because I know how you did something 192 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.679 with the two thousand and five twenty five wide receiver. Desmond Roebuck is going 193 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.519 to be going to I guess Washington. He committed to. He's a Morana 194 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.639 class guy. Yeah so Tucson. So you know he's pretty good. I 195 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.639 listened to his interview with with I said it wrong. I thought it was 196 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.919 Reese Davis, but it was with our dude rolled the ape guy. Who 197 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.759 Who's Who's who? The interview Jet Fish, Oh, the APA guy, 198 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.440 he does a pea guy, John Marshall, no football, We've got him 199 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.679 on the show. Oh yeah yeah yeahah. I got Russous Oh yeah yeah, 200 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.759 like an hour long interview with with with Ralf Russo. Think it was 201 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.840 good. A lot of bull crap in there. Jet is still well crapping 202 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:05.320 people over there. Yeah yeah, but uh, you know he talked about 203 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:11.279 he talked about how he only lost only four u A guys jumped into the 204 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.480 portal before he took the Washington job. But then he said he got thirteen 205 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.200 from Arizona when he went to wash him like thirteen. I remember being thirteen. 206 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.240 He's used that number of lot so it must be. But he's got 207 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.679 it's about four or five really quality guys. Yeah, the running back, 208 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.080 I thought he was a huge deal. Yeah, Coleman, Yeah, Colemba, 209 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.440 I thought he was. He would have been fantastic here. Well you 210 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.080 didn't get the ones you really know.

Hey, 285 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.480 welcome back to Lie on the bagharel Pox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve 286 00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:53.960 Rivera, He's Jakinsaws, and on the phone we have Michael led from the 287 00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.279 Arizona Daily Star. Michael, how you doing good? How are you guys? 288 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.519 We're doing Thank you, Michael. I thought I saw something last week 289 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:11.119 where you did a five take from from Desiree's a thing with the board or 290 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.440 did I miss that? I see it wrong? True? I did. 291 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.680 Okay, you're good, good good? Well? What were your highlights? 292 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:23.400 Well? I thought the most interesting thing was the formation of what they're calling 293 00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:27.960 Arizona Sports Enterprises. Yeah. We talked about go ahead. Yeah, so 294 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:36.079 they're basically, you know, taking their multi media rights that's not network TV. 295 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.519 That's a different thing. But we're talking about radio sponsorships, this type 296 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.039 of thing. They're taking it all in house. It has been operated by 297 00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:52.640 this company that I'm sure people are very familiar with called lear Field or Learfield 298 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:57.599 IMG College as it's also known. And basically, you know, they would 299 00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:06.279 pay like money a guarantee and they would handle all the operations and so forth. 300 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:11.200 They kind of formed like a little staff at each at each school that 301 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.279 they're in business with, and it's somewhere around two hundred schools, and you 302 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:25.440 know, they provided a valuable service in that way. But when the audit 303 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:30.440 came back, the report from Ernst and Young that you know, broke down 304 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:36.039 every aspect of the way the athletic department has been run. One of the 305 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:41.960 recommendations that ernstin Young made was that hey, if you guys bring this operation 306 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:48.319 in house, there might be some longer term benefits to be brought from that. 307 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:55.200 So Desiree decided to, you know, take the leap, take the 308 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:59.720 gamble. It is a risk, but you know, she's sort of of 309 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.519 the mind kind of, Hey, you know, I believe in myself and 310 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:08.039 my people. Let's let's bet on ourselves and let's try to you know, 311 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.720 let's try to hit a home run here. Now, they haven't put any 312 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.880 details behind this, right in terms of how it's going to be structured, 313 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:19.839 because there's now when you when you look up the u of a staff directly, 314 00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:25.519 there's it's called Wildcat Sports Properties. That's where Brian Jeffries, Joe Moeller, 315 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.480 Dana Cooper, all those guys are. That's those are the guys that 316 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:34.000 basically worked for Livefield, right. Yeah, they have not they have not 317 00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:41.519 supplied details of what the structure will look like. I do know that one 318 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:47.200 of the schools that she's kind of modeling this after to a degree is Clemson, 319 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:51.640 and I guess Clemson's had a lot of success doing this sort of thing. 320 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.880 She's bringing in a couple people from Missouri to kind of run the show 321 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.839 and kind of get things up. And you know, one of the objectives 322 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:11.519 that they have is I guess what you'd call like corporate synergy. They want, 323 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.680 you know, the idea of, hey, you know someone who's a 324 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.599 donor who also has a business, maybe they can also do a sponsorship, 325 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.039 maybe they can also do an nil deal and kind of being able to wrap 326 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:29.559 all those things into one big package. So that's kind of the idea behind 327 00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.839 it. Like I said earlier, it is a bit of a risk because 328 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.559 you don't have that guarantee. The guarantee from Learfield was around seven million dollars. 329 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:45.160 The optimistic projections if you go out about ten years from Ernst and Young 330 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.839 or that they could, you know, increase the revenue from this particular stream 331 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:53.200 to around eighteen million dollars a year. So you know, that's the high 332 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:59.400 end. That's the goal. That would obviously be very beneficial for a department 333 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:00.920 that you know, is about thirty million dollars in the red. And it 334 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.440 doesn't affect to both of you guys, It doesn't affect their radio deals. 335 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:10.599 Is twelve ninety involved in this somehow? Because it's someone that produces twelve ninety 336 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.160 would buy the rights from liar Field, So now that we probably have to 337 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:17.440 buy the rights from this organization, right Michael, that makes sense. I 338 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:21.400 don't know. Again, I don't know the details on how that sort of 339 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:30.440 thing would work. That's to be figured out still at this point. Obviously, 340 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:36.720 as you guys know, Arizona Wildcats are a very attractive property, both 341 00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:41.000 here in Tucson and across the state. That's that's a valuable entity to have 342 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:47.240 on your airwaves. People still do listen to games on the radio, so 343 00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:51.960 I don't think they'll have any trouble you know, selling the rights for that, 344 00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.880 the you know, lining up the corporate sponsorships. That will be interesting 345 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:02.319 because it really shifts the burden to you know, the staffers that you've hired, 346 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:07.240 and you really have to go out there in the local community and find 347 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.839 people who are interested in becoming part of this, who want to invest in 348 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:17.480 signage, nil deals, et cetera. I was gonna ask, Okay, 349 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:19.559 so there's that. Now, what was maybe a second point of your five 350 00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:29.519 points? Yeah? That was that one was the main area that that I 351 00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:36.759 focused on was it was a forty nine page report that some of us were 352 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:41.599 able to get a hold of and look at from Ernst and Young and it 353 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:49.839 was really interesting because I mean they covered everything down to the most minute details 354 00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:57.000 about like how peak cards are used, you know, how travel arrangements are 355 00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:06.799 made. So they're looking for like every area where they can you know, 356 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.000 become more efficient. I would say the part that stood out to me, 357 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.480 the part that set up to me the second most would be the recommendation to 358 00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:22.720 do naming rights for both the basketball arena and the football stadium. This is 359 00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.400 something that I've been harping on for a long time. I can't understand why 360 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:32.079 it hasn't been done to this point or to the party line I've gotten over 361 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:33.000 the years is oh, we want to make sure we do it right. 362 00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:37.480 It's to do it. A lot of schools have deals like this, and 363 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.160 it can bring in, you know, I don't know, one, two, 364 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.680 three million dollars a year. Again, when you're in this situation that 365 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:49.839 Arizona is in right now, every penny counts that that would be extremely helpful 366 00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:56.119 in my opinion. I do understand that, you know, renaming the Kale 367 00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:02.960 Center probably wouldn't be very popular, so you probably have to be careful how 368 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:10.599 you go about that particular arrangement. I think Arizona Stadium is a bland, 369 00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:15.759 boring, generic name. I have no problem whatsoever with renaming that. But 370 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:19.279 there's a lot of possibilities there, you know, and you get your you 371 00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:26.039 get your brand out there in a really significant way. If your signage is 372 00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:29.200 up all over the stadium, they're mentioning it on all the TV and radio 373 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:33.480 broadcasts, et cetera. It seems like a no brainer to me. Now 374 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.759 it's just a matter of going out and executing that plan. Mike, I 375 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.079 can tell you why they haven't done. It's because old farts like me start 376 00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:42.799 whining and pissing and moaning every time, every time it comes up, and 377 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:45.519 you can't. You know, we've got to call him the Kale Center for 378 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.160 the rest of our life. We'll all die soon and then you can sell 379 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.960 it and you'll be all. And I said this to Jay Michael Is that 380 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.559 we're in Tucson. We're not a wealthy city. We're not a wealthy place 381 00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.240 here. Who would do it for X amount of money? Because they're very 382 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.880 few of those. Well you'll go, you'll go to a big corporate spot, 383 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.400 sure, but like Bank of America or something like that. Good luck. 384 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.559 Well look, ASU is able to do it. I know, Phoenix 385 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.079 is a different market than here. They did it with a credit union for 386 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.240 a fifteen year deal and access to three million dollars a year. Look, 387 00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:30.519 Desiree read Francois and her staff are banking on the Tucson area having enough corporate 388 00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.240 wealth or corporate heft to pull this off. I mean, if if, 389 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.920 if you're if what you're saying is true, this is not gonna work. 390 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:42.839 Yeah. So, I mean they they clearly believe that it will and that 391 00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:51.680 there is enough uh corporate interest here uh to do this. And so you 392 00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:55.319 know, we'll see who that ends up being. Is there enough board naming 393 00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:57.680 rights as well as kind of all the other you know, stuff that they 394 00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:02.279 want and need. I mean that remains to be seen. Again that that's 395 00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:04.920 kind of where the risk comes in to both of you guys. Just an 396 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:08.200 observation from my end, because you're you're the business guy in the business song. 397 00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.279 Don't you think that they would have asked all these questions before they did 398 00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:15.240 this, because maybe there is a floater out there that said, okay, 399 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.359 we'll do it. Yeah. I think they've got people in mind already. 400 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:25.359 What I would say, yes, okay, And again it's the most interesting 401 00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.839 thing. And and look, I've been saying for a while now, since 402 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.480 really since this whole twenty twenty two million dollar let's pay the athletes and share 403 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:34.720 the revenue thing came al he said, you got to go find money from 404 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:37.680 anywhere, so sell it all, sell naming rights for everything. And I 405 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.000 think they're going to have to do that, whether it's uh, you know, 406 00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.240 the stadiums or you know other things, you know, a field, 407 00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.759 anyone of a number of things. They're going to have to put names on 408 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.799 all of that stuff. And it's just the way AYA is now allowing corporate 409 00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:56.319 logos on the field itself, right, Okay, I mean I don't think 410 00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:02.119 we're very far off at all from their being corporated logos on the uniforms right 411 00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:07.400 themselves. We see that in all sports, all levels, big time soccer, 412 00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:12.960 NBA has it, NHL has it, I think MLB has it. 413 00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:18.359 It's coming. Yeah, And you know, I'm not everybody like loves corporatization 414 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.079 of college sports. I don't love it either, But if you want to 415 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:29.359 continue to enjoy it and consume it, it's it's an inevitable reality. And 416 00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:33.599 for every million dollars or half a million dollars whatever that they get in that 417 00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.839 regard, that puts less pressure on things like ticket prices and donations. So 418 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:42.119 I you know, they have to do this. Anybody who's fighting this is 419 00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:45.960 just is just not being very realistic about what's going on. Hell, Michael, 420 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:52.440 I'm ready to put a big tattoo in my back and go I do 421 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:53.599 want. You know what, I don't want to see you without assured state. 422 00:30:53.680 --> 00:31:00.960 So let's let's think of something else that's not a promise, anything else 423 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.079 that struck you, because you know, wilder heads, calm, you've done 424 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:10.000 your stuff. There was a big story in yesterday's Sunday paper with Wolf doing 425 00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:12.759 it, just a lot of craziness. And Jade just brought up the twenty 426 00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:19.000 two million dollars a year that throws more gasoline on the fire. Yeah, 427 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.440 I mean, I think the other I think the other thing that's worth noting 428 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:29.359 is that all of this is being done to prepare for what's to come. 429 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.960 They're already in a debt, right or a deficit, I don't know whatever 430 00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:40.839 one of those is the applicable term, but they're in the red. They're 431 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.279 not, you know, bringing in as much revenue as they are spending. 432 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:51.519 Right. That's only going to get worse when the House versus NCAA settlement is 433 00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:57.960 reached and they're going to have the opportunity to pay another twenty million dollars a 434 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:04.400 year to the student athletes as part of the revenue sharing deal. Right, 435 00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:07.000 So they're going to have to come up with that money too. And I 436 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:14.559 know for a fact that when Desiree read Francois started putting together her budgets for 437 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:19.200 future years, that she baked that in. And she is a firm believer 438 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:25.759 in Arizona's participation in revenue sharing. She will not compromise on that front. 439 00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.200 She said to me multiple times. You know, Arizona is a championship caliber 440 00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:36.880 program, and she is determined to make sure that it remains that and that 441 00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:39.279 the student athletes have the best experience possible. So in order to do that, 442 00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:45.759 you have to come up with all of these different and new streams and 443 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.440 sources of revenue. I don't know if you asked the question or somebody else 444 00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:53.400 asked the question during her initial press conference when she had the president up there 445 00:32:53.440 --> 00:33:00.279 or whatever about cutting sports. Defiant no from her. What do you think 446 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:10.359 now? I still think that not a huge appetite for cutting sports. That 447 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:15.640 being said, with revenue sharing, there could be some sacrifices that have to 448 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:22.519 be made all across college sports, and it's much more likely to happen to 449 00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:29.960 the Olympic sports that don't generate revenue right, ones that have a lot of 450 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.359 expense and don't bring in a lot of money. I still think that that's 451 00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:38.720 possibility, not just here but elsewhere, and that those sports, you know, 452 00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:45.200 sort of might you know, kind of be converted into something more akin 453 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:50.799 to a club level, like at Arizona. I don't think sports like baseball 454 00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:55.960 or softball or golf are vulnerable in any shape or form. Is there's a 455 00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:00.119 lot of a lot of investments have been made, there's a lot of tradition 456 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:04.519 surrounding those sports. But I don't know. Some of the other ones I 457 00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:09.440 still think are vulnerable. Despite Desiree read Francois saying what she said, I 458 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:14.679 don't you know, I don't think she was I think she was being honest. 459 00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:17.199 I think she really believes that. I don't think she wants to cut 460 00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:21.880 sports. But you know, these days, you never know, you know, 461 00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:25.039 what sacrifices are we're going to have to make down the road. Yeah, 462 00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:30.000 yeah, I mean that's that's the big worry that it's talked about the 463 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:31.679 most. When you're talking about, Okay, we're gonna start paying, we're 464 00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:35.559 gonna start paying all the athletes, Well, who gets how much? And 465 00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.880 how do you yeah again, how do you account for the the athletes who 466 00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:42.920 are in you know, sports that don't produce any revenue. They basically they've 467 00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.440 been carried by football and basketball all this time. What are you gonna do 468 00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:52.000 with that? Of course? That is that is the multi billion dollar question, 469 00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:55.920 right, How is this all going to work? Like? If you 470 00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:00.880 have to you know, if there's no rules, I don't believe about who 471 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:04.000 gets the twenty million dollars in revenue sharing. I think you can divide it 472 00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:06.519 up. However, you are right? I want right? So do you 473 00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.639 divide? You know the title nind factor in you know, did an equal 474 00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:13.760 amount have to go to the male athlete that goes to the female athletes? 475 00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:17.880 Is that even possible when you know football is involved, which has such a 476 00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:24.199 huge roster and also generates the most revenue. Very interesting to see how all 477 00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:28.679 of that plays out well, Michael, Thanks for coming on board Today will 478 00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:31.360 probably give you a break until the start of football season when we see what 479 00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:37.800 kind of quality we see initially and how it carries to the season. I 480 00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:38.840 look forward to it, guys, Thank you, thank you, Thanks about 481 00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:43.639 Michael. Appreciate it. Michael lev there was on a daily start. Sorry 482 00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:45.960 we didn't tell you who he was, but you've heard his voice enough. 483 00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:50.159 Let's go. We have about fifteen minutes on the other side and then call 484 00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:52.800 it a day.

Take a look 486 00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:59.159 back at the Ludelsen era. In my new book, Lessons from Loot, 487 00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:00.920 It was a labor of love through the eyes of twenty five former players, 488 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:05.559 coaches, and friends to give insight to the coach and the man who led 489 00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.039 them, competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his 490 00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:13.480 twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach.

Hi, You're on the air and I on the ball. 533 00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:24.800 Hey, guys, I wanted to welcome feed back from his trip to 534 00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:31.119 Fantafe, I guess and send my sincere sympathy in the loss of his mom. 535 00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:36.800 So my mother, My mom always said we have sports to take our 536 00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:43.280 mind off our problems, and it seems college sports, especially after listening to 537 00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:49.079 Lev, has its own problems. Everything on this earth is temporary, but 538 00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:55.440 I look forward and I'm optimistic, looking forward to our new association with new 539 00:39:55.480 --> 00:40:00.280 teams in the Big twelve. Yeah, well, thank you, sare Yeah, 540 00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:01.559 thank you very much. Real quick? Are you a fan? Right? 541 00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:05.360 You're a long term fan? Yeah? So, okay, I met, 542 00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:07.559 I met at the Red and Blue. Okay, yes, yes, 543 00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:12.159 And let me ask you something. Is there something that would prevent you from 544 00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:15.679 being that fan? They would if they did something that would say, okay, 545 00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:21.519 had enough. Well, you know, I'm retired, so I have 546 00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:25.039 you know, I'm not a big donor, so it's even hard for me 547 00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:30.760 physically to go to the games anymore. But I used to go for twenty 548 00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:37.159 years to basketball and football and work and then go and take your kids and 549 00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:42.960 everything. But I don't know, it's like mL like this is the first 550 00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:52.000 year I don't have MLB Premium. You know, the whole money gamblings scandal 551 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:57.079 and all that. I just decided I'm gonna tune out and not follow it 552 00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:00.280 as much, even though I really like baseball and the race. RADEO, 553 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:04.039 Okay, all right, that's okay, that's fair enough. Yeah. Yeah, 554 00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.039 but as far as you as concerned. You know, I'm still a 555 00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:15.079 fan. You know, I love I love listening on the radio to Brian 556 00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:19.840 Jefferies. He's great. I enjoy listening to you guys, and I enjoy 557 00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:22.000 sports. Well, thank you very much. We appreciate your share, man, 558 00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:29.320 thanks listening. Appreciate it. Now again, look the old guys in 559 00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:30.480 the room us, you know, we're you know, we're just going to 560 00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:36.199 take in our sports. It's it's it's the Henryson and and you know my 561 00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:39.599 son and his friends, who you know, they got a long time left, 562 00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:43.760 you know, to be watching sports, and I think they're I think 563 00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:50.000 they're way more flexible than we are in in the sense that we're kind of 564 00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:52.639 purest, right. You know, I don't like the designated here, you 565 00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:54.880 know, I don't like, you know, all these things that as we 566 00:41:54.880 --> 00:42:00.000 were growing up, the way sports were, they're so different now to them, 567 00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:04.000 it's been changing like this their whole lives, right, I mean, 568 00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:07.480 am I right, Henry? I mean it's like there's nothing sacred for you 569 00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:12.719 guys really anymore. Yeah, you know that there's changes when rosters and guys 570 00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.119 come and they go, and they get traded every other year or whatever. 571 00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:19.440 For me, I'm not especially to be one of those reasons, because it's 572 00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:23.800 not there's no loyalty, continuity, loyalty all that. Because I like my 573 00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:28.639 Reds in seventy five, seventy so forever, right, your Dodgers and forever. 574 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:30.599 Now, I couldn't tell you a roster the Dela Cruz is the only 575 00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:34.440 guy I know. I don't even know the manager. I mean, I 576 00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:36.599 mean, right, And I mean that's why it's been for you guys, 577 00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:38.000 and you're you're okay with it, right, I think we kind of like 578 00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:43.000 the changes you do. It's differently. Yeah, that's true, because you're 579 00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:44.519 that's what you're used to. Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean, 580 00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:47.280 you guys have no idea what it's like. Remember that Dodgers infield of save 581 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:52.440 Russell, Garvey and Lopes, they were together for eleven years or something like 582 00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:54.800 the same four guys playing infield for the Dodger for like ten eleven years. 583 00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:57.960 Sure, same with the Reds, same kind of thing. You just didn't 584 00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:00.679 have that Yankees. I mean, I remember when Pete Road and Joe Morgan 585 00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:01.719 left the Reds. I'm like, what the hell has happened? Right? 586 00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:05.800 Right? Right that, I'm like, what the hell is going on here? 587 00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:08.760 And it was weird and and so these guys have been this is the 588 00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:14.480 way that sports have always been, not a big deal, right. I 589 00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:16.559 just think that if the percentages of money, and I thought maybe he might 590 00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:20.199 come up with money, and he kind of did. Uh, if it's 591 00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:22.519 a forty percent increase on a ticket, well they can't do it all at 592 00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:25.920 once, you know, eventually, right, Okay, eventually? Yeah, 593 00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:30.159 I mean if it's ten percent, fifteen percent, overtime, over time, 594 00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.360 you're okay with it. You ease into it. Look, anybody can ease 595 00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:37.760 into something like that, you know. But it's it's it's when it's all 596 00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:38.920 of a sudden boom. You know, we're gonna hit you with a hammer. 597 00:43:39.159 --> 00:43:42.519 That's what people lose their mind. So you're telling me you're gonna buy 598 00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:46.000 only one seven dollars hot dog? Uh, you know to you know it, 599 00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:51.519 It bothers me a little bit that they that they check our stuff more 600 00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:52.920 than they used to. Because we used to be able to take lucky wishbone 601 00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:58.119 into the into the game. We we would get it. We would, 602 00:43:58.599 --> 00:44:00.880 you know, because you could take backpacks this stuff, so you know, 603 00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:04.599 would take left over lucky wish one from our tailgate and then halftime would break 604 00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:07.440 it out. You go to our section after a game and there'll be all 605 00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:09.519 these chicken bones underneath our seats. And you can't do that anymore, you 606 00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:13.199 know, with the clear bag and all that stuff. You know, so 607 00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:15.239 you know, you got to buy their stuff. I don't you know. 608 00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:17.199 Wait, here's what I do. I don't eat at the game anymore. 609 00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:22.320 I may get some I probably had nachos at half the games last year. 610 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:25.679 Okay, I might get a coke at halftime. I don't spend a bunch 611 00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:32.239 of money on food at an Arizona football game. I don't. And baseball 612 00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:36.360 is a whole different deal. It's like getting a hot dog and a bag 613 00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:40.159 of peanuts and a beer or a coke is part of it. You didn't 614 00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:45.039 You didn't really, you didn't really experience the game if you don't get those 615 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:47.800 things. When I go to a baseball game, I go to a football 616 00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:52.159 game, I don't necessarily go in there, you know, for the food. 617 00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:57.039 I don't whether it's whether it's an NFL game or whatever. And I 618 00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.920 don't know why that is. You eat before the game and before Yeah, 619 00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:02.360 we tailgate, you know, before the games or if we go to if 620 00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:05.840 we go to a football game, you know, let's say Cardinals game. 621 00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:07.719 Yeah, you we'll go to dinner before the game, or we'll lunch or 622 00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:12.320 whatever. So I don't need to eat at the game. But I go 623 00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:14.760 to a baseball game, even if I've just eaten, I still gotta have 624 00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:17.960 a hot It's kind of stupid, is Jay? I have a problem? 625 00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.840 Hey, real quickly, I want to maybe someone can call us, but 626 00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:23.599 I'm gonna ask you this because I don't know the situation, and I know 627 00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:28.960 there's clarification that needs to be done. So liar Field has this entity right 628 00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:32.880 there there, they're they're not associated with you a uh. And so you're 629 00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:38.119 you're Sam Levit's okay, you give money to to Liri. How does where 630 00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:42.400 did your money go? You pay liar Field for the sponsors for the sponsor, 631 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.480 okay, a sponsorship, and they in turn give the money to you 632 00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:50.679 of a percentage of right whatever whatever they're agreement. Yeah, they're a middle 633 00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.159 It's exactly what they are there in middle man. Okay. So they're eliminating 634 00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:57.400 the mill, right, which makes sense. So are these liar Field people 635 00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:00.280 under the guys of you of A or are they who's paying for their insurance? 636 00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:05.159 That's what That's what I don't know. I don't know if Brian Jefferies 637 00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:09.679 and Dana Cooper's were employees of liar Field off their employees of the U of 638 00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:14.960 A. You know, if they got paid based on how successful they successful 639 00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:17.199 they were with Liarfield, because because those guys were all those guys all went 640 00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:23.280 on sold they corporate sponsorships and stuff like that. I guess, I guess 641 00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:28.920 I thought that I've thought all along that except for that, except for Brian 642 00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.760 Jefferies probably getting paid by the u of A for the radio work he does, 643 00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:37.360 all the other work that they do came through Liarfield. I have no 644 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:39.920 idea. Maybe we need to get one of them on. That's not the 645 00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:45.360 time. But you know, to clarify, right, whose name is on 646 00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:49.679 your check? That's as simple as that. Who writes your check? You 647 00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:53.239 know for your the you know your income. Maybe maybe Brian Jefferies as the 648 00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:57.360 announcer is also paid through Liarfield. I don't know, or is with through 649 00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.480 Lierfield and is a contractual guy. Right, they have a content fact with 650 00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:02.360 the u of A. So they're working at Michale, they have offices and 651 00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:07.679 miail right, but they're probably but they might be litar Field employees. I 652 00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.320 don't know. Yeah, okay, you know, you know a way to 653 00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:15.000 look that up is just see what Brian Jeffers LinkedIn says. Yeah, he'll 654 00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:19.760 we have to lock that. I'll explain it. Good luck again, and 655 00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.679 we want to call.

Hi, you're on there and I on the ball. 662 00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:49.159 Yeah. I talked a little bit about this this so this whole deal with 663 00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:52.800 thanks. Yeah, saw they with the sports entities and stuff like that, 664 00:47:52.119 --> 00:48:00.360 Please go ahead. Sure. My question is are this a PLA. Are 665 00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:05.320 they still students? No? Not anymore. Well they're students, yes, 666 00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:08.000 but they're not amateurs. I guess is what we're saying. They're still students 667 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:14.280 because they still have to go to school, but they're about academic and eligibility 668 00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:16.199 and those kind of things anymore. Well, they've got a lot of tutors, 669 00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:21.159 they've got a lot of holders to get them through the semester. Well. 670 00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:23.760 Yeah, with the investment that they're making in these guys, they're making 671 00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:28.480 short I shouldn't say just guys that they're they're making sure that the athletes have 672 00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.480 all the resources and everything that they need. I mean, there are teams 673 00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:37.679 of tutors and and I guess advisors that go on the road with them that 674 00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:40.280 they're always I mean they've built the whole building for you know, at at 675 00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:45.199 On campus across from m Kale for you know, the academic piece of this. 676 00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:47.920 So they are still students and they have to still be students, and 677 00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:52.159 they they have to be academically eligible. But you're what you're seeing recently, 678 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:57.199 for instance, you know, Arizona in all their sports is setting records for 679 00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:00.960 grade point averages. Right, they're keeping all these you know, I think 680 00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:05.400 it was years ago, but there was a he was a defensive back for 681 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:07.119 Arizona in the Mike Scoops area. He's he came up, you know, 682 00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:10.159 in an interview with him, he came out of publicly says that you have 683 00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:15.480 to try to not be eligible anymore with the resources that they give the athletes. 684 00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:20.800 Okay, yeah, so yes, they are still athletes, but they're 685 00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:24.079 not as amateurs. They're pros now, Yeah, they're don't really, they're 686 00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:29.159 not an amateur athletes exactly. They make more than you and me and Jay 687 00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:35.079 put together. And that's just one person, some of them. Yeah, 688 00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:39.079 as far as naming rights and stuff like that, there's someone kidding themselves thinking 689 00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:45.199 that a local Tucson comedy is going to spend big dollars to name you a 690 00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:47.239 same listen, and I don't care about it. I'm an a hole far 691 00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:52.679 like Jay, Yeah, and and and that kind stuff. POSI meve, 692 00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:55.480 But I know that Arizona State is going to have to be named whatever whatever 693 00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:58.840 it's going to call it. But it's got to be some sort of return 694 00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:00.559 on your investment. If I want two on company, they want three million 695 00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:04.639 dollars a year for me, I had to get three point five million back 696 00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:07.239 in revenue. Yeah, yeah, it's got to pay off. This has 697 00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:10.440 to be a return on investment, absolutely, one hundred percent. Yeah, 698 00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:14.320 I agree with you totally. Thanks for calling. What's your name? What's 699 00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:17.639 your name? Real quick? Have you called it before? Oh? Okay't 700 00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:22.719 know who that is? All right? Yeah we went to high school together. 701 00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:25.679 Oh that's what you know? You know it? Okay, thanks thanks 702 00:50:25.719 --> 00:50:30.119 for calling. I appreciate it. I didn't recognize the let's get to this, 703 00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:34.239 okay, I just found it. Brian Jeffers worked for Learfield Okay, 704 00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:37.639 and on his LinkedIn he said he listens to his director of broadcasting at lear 705 00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:43.079 Field Arizona and down in his his work experience. He works for lear Field 706 00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:45.519 IMG College. He's voice talent, Voice of the Wildcats, and he also 707 00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:50.000 makes sense. Yeah, so those guys are all lear Field employees. So 708 00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.360 that's what they're saying. That entity no longer is going to do what it's 709 00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:59.360 been doing. You'd like to think that the new entity, the Arizona whatever 710 00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:02.239 they called it, uh is going to take these guys on that. Brian 711 00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:06.599 Jeffries will know he's no longer gonna work for the Liffield, He's gonna work 712 00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:09.760 for, you know, the organization. It sounds like the organization is going 713 00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:15.079 to actually be separate, right, a separate and it's not going to be 714 00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:19.360 quote unquote in the It's not gonna be under the athletic department. It sounds 715 00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:22.840 to me like it's gonna be its own, just like Liffield, just a 716 00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:27.599 separate entity, and it'll be housed at you know, probably housed of Michael. 717 00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:31.199 But whatever the financial piece of it is, you know, however, 718 00:51:31.280 --> 00:51:36.599 the finances, the financial structure of it, it sounds to me like it's 719 00:51:36.679 --> 00:51:40.760 not going to be uh uh, you know, within the u of a 720 00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:45.960 athletic department, under the auspices of the University of Arizona. But it's gonna 721 00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:50.480 be it's gonna be a side business, a standalone business, Arizona Sports prop 722 00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:53.519 that has to do all that stuff. And then there's probably what they're probably 723 00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:57.400 gonna do is consolidate some stuff in there, you know, selling all the 724 00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:00.440 corporate sponsorships, all that kind of stuff, and there's some sort of a 725 00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:02.599 financial relationship that takes me yah. I want to also get to one last 726 00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:06.280 second. We could have had this in breaking news with Greg had something with 727 00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:09.159 the Series Cup, the Serious Cup that there was almost like forty ninth. 728 00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:13.280 It's one of the worst it's landed. We talked about this maybe two weeks 729 00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:15.599 ago because the season's not really over, but it doesn't look good. It 730 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:19.239 doesn't look good. We thought that, and also we had it. They 731 00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:21.840 had a good year, they did good, a very good year, and 732 00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:24.519 still they landed not so not so hot. Yeah, not sure. I'd 733 00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:29.280 have to look at the and one of the worst in the pack to Pac 734 00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:32.119 twelve. I think it is. So it's just you know, tells you 735 00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:37.199 how difficult it is because even though you had a good year, not so 736 00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:40.199 much yeah you know. Uh, And and I thought, what you gave 737 00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:45.039 him a ninety. I gave him au put it anymore. I dropped it 738 00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:46.639 to like, No, you could have dropped him much. You could have 739 00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:51.079 dropped it to like an eighty seven or something. Really, yeah, really, 740 00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:53.440 because the way they flamed up both you were Russian, the way they 741 00:52:53.519 --> 00:53:00.599 flamed up both in in in in the you're like Brian. I don't want 742 00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:07.880 to be like Steve, but I okay, Hey, good to be back, 743 00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:12.239 first day. Thank you very much, and we'll see you tomorrow. 744 00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:14.679 We will have a good guest, at least for right now. We'll talk 745 00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:19.840 more about it tomorrow, all right, and uh, Juice tomorrow tonight right 746 00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:22.760 for you? Yeah, Juice, I don't know.
