Wow? Will Hill hide after his 7 00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:39.920 official visit from some point? Right? Yep, that's one of the things 8 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.600 that at least we perceived, right that that Kevin someone didn't do chase the 9 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.520 low perceived, not perceived a fact. I wanted it to be nice perceived. 10 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.479 No, he didn't do. He didn't chase him, he didn't go 11 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.079 ahead, didn't care. I don't think you care about Look, he probably 12 00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.560 wasn't gonna get him anyways, but he still gotta go try and get him. 13 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:00.479 Right, You can't have people say and he didn't even try, which 14 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.120 he didn't. So, uh, you know, nice get for jet fish 15 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.920 out of South Point and look, get some guys, and you get and 16 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.239 then you get more guys and you get more guys so that you can't have 17 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.040 the reputation I'm not going out for that's for sure, right absolutely, And 18 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.840 again you know was he gonna get was he gonna get Bejean Robinson? No? 19 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.760 No, but or ransomwhere ulship? But still you know, make the 20 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:30.719 effort, right. So yeah, A trio of football teammates from Glendale Polo 21 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.640 High School I committed to play together at Arizona in twenty twenty four. Um. 22 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.599 The players are Adam Mohammed, Matthew Laido Latto, and Michael Watskins. 23 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:46.439 Um. Mohammed is a running back and Matthew and Michael are both offensive fintment. 24 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.000 Well, you know again the in state recruiting, I mean you're take 25 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.560 they're plugging, you know, plugging three guys out of out of ac territory 26 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.640 up there in Glendale, right and then against against a new guy that's out 27 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.359 there's some be going after them right right. So that that just that I 28 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.520 I don't know what stars these guys are any of that, but if you 29 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.479 get in there, you make some inroads that you know at some of those 30 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.080 schools up there, because all the big schools are up there. Um, 31 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:15.400 you get guys like that, you know, you get more guys like that. 32 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:22.719 You know, later on Arizona willhos Belmont on November seventeenth as part of 33 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:29.520 their um non conference schedule. That's that's one of those schools that always shows 34 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.039 up on your bracket, right a fifteen or sixteen seed. But you know 35 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.319 when they're there tournament all the time, you always hear about them and say, 36 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.000 that's not gonna be some slouched a pullment. They played Duke in a 37 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.080 while back. You know, pretty tough. I mean, there's a team 38 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.000 you don't want to lose to. For sure, you don't want to lose 39 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.639 to them, expect you to win. But they're also a test, you 40 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.360 know, schools like that that uh, you know, when you get those 41 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.439 guys, they come in here and they're not easy. I'm just looking forward 42 00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.919 to the season. It's gonna be a fun season, Steve. I know. 43 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:00.840 But you know, even though a lot of those games aren't here, 44 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.599 they're playing these games. They're just gonna be fun to bed and within driving 45 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.840 distance we can go to see them. But on top of that, you 46 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:14.240 know, Arizona's gonna get talked about one a lot about the fact that they 47 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.439 scheduled all these games, and then when the games come up, you know 48 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.120 they're gonna be you know, they're gonna be highlighted. So I think it's 49 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.000 I think it's a very smart, uh move on Tommy Lloyd's Park, not 50 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.639 just to play the games, but then to hope, you know, his 51 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.000 sake, you know, get some benefit beyond playing those games, you know, 52 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.280 down the road by getting a lot of visibility for Arizona, no question, 53 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.560 starting to see you know, with with what he's done recruiting, wized 54 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.120 that you know, people are starting to bring them back up in their preseason 55 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.439 rankings. Yeah, Lener had him in ten. Yeah, which makes sense. 56 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.400 Um no, it's back to ludoson time. Um Sean didn't do it 57 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.919 for whatever reason. I know he won a lot, and everyone's well he 58 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.919 won a lot against bad, bad competitions or whatever. But now it's it's 59 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.879 it's it's visibility, although Arizona doesn't really need it. Going to your par 60 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.759 HiT's some program, right, so it's already a program, it's highly visible, 61 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.439 but now it's gonna return as a very visible program. Right. Yeah, 62 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.960 No, I think it's I think it's a great move on to really 63 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.399 continue. But he's already built you know, for the first couple of years. 64 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:18.680 I think I think it's very cool and it's gonna be fun for the 65 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.680 fans again, whether the games are here or on TV, or you can 66 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.079 go to you know, if you want to go to Palm Springs and watch 67 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.560 him play, You're gonna go up to Phoenix and watch him play. The 68 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.680 opportunities for for for fans to go see these guys. So I think it's 69 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.160 pretty cool. Okay some national news. UM, we already talked about this 70 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.439 briefly, but to officially announce it, the Washington Wizards traded away UM three 71 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.160 times All star Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul Landry Shaman, 72 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.240 a handful of second round picks and multiple pick swaps. In addition to the 73 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:53.600 Bridley Beal trade, UM, the Sun's also acquired Jordan Jordan Goodwin and Afford 74 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.519 Isaiah Todd in the trade as well. And you know, did you ever 75 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.680 hear the other two dudes? Yeah? None of them. No, in 76 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.399 the broken bat and the player to be named later in the bag of balls 77 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.600 at a bag of basketball. Yeah. So what do you guys think of 78 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.199 their potential news starting five? Well, did you see what the record? 79 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.519 Did you see what the odds are now? Um moving to win the championship 80 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.000 next year? Well, they get are they like second behind? I was 81 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.920 gonna say that their second behind the Nuggets in the Western Oh yeah yeah, 82 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.519 okay, So what just like at five? Is that five? No? 83 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.480 I think the Nuggets are five. So they might be at seven some of 84 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.160 the one to win it all. Yeah, I still wouldn't be. They 85 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.079 need so much sticks still yet. Yeah, they need a lot of death. 86 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.480 They got they have no as he said they got they still got no 87 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:41.120 bench right guard. Yeah, they're starting five right now, is projected as 88 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.240 camera Paine, Devin Booker, Brodley, Bill, Kevin Durad, DeAndre and 89 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.399 EV's days and they're six. Man would be Ishmael Wayne Wright coming off the 90 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:55.720 bench. And if Howard didn't exile himself for a while, yeah we'd ask 91 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.680 him, but yeah, we were fun of him cussing. Well, here 92 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.600 are the current odds on on DraftKings. You got the devil Ver Nuggets, 93 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.720 the favorite that which always happens, four seventy five. Okay, okay, 94 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.519 the Nuggs, the Celtics at five fifty. That's twin at all. Twin 95 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.120 at all, okay, five and a half to one, and then you're 96 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.639 Son, You're Phoenix. So I wouldn't touch that at all. Then the 97 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.759 Bucks, Lakers, Sixers, Warriors, what's what's Milwaukee? Uh? Seven 98 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.360 hundred? Oh, that's it's team again. The team begin right there, 99 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.839 seven to one. Get it now, you're gonna get it later. Yeah, 100 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.839 I can get better than that. Um Clippers are in there at eighteen 101 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.680 hundred, but I don't have the Clippers. They're the ninth Clippers and the 102 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.839 Mavericks are the tenth favorite. No. Uh, the Golden State Warriors all 103 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.759 four time NBA champion Draymond Green. It's declining is twenty seven point five million 104 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:53.040 player option for twenty twenty three. I will enter unrestricted free agency. He 105 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.639 said he's gonna look, right, he's gonna look Yeah, he's more. 106 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.600 I wouldn't mind if he leaves. Yeah, I wouldn't mind if he leaves. 107 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.079 That way, maybe Pool can kind of wake up and whatever, that 108 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.040 chemistry will be kind of better. Yeah, I think. I think if 109 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.439 he leaves, he won't get more money, but he might go to a 110 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.399 better situation for himself and maybe French. Right, he's like what thirty something, 111 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.759 Yeah, he's getting up there. Yeah, so you know his days 112 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.519 of playing he's still good. Yeah, definitely. I just don't think he's 113 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.360 I think it's time is coming gun. Yeah, I think cominga is a 114 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.560 big He didn't play very much, he doesn't get much play time. I 115 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:27.279 think he goes maybe stepping into that Draymond roll with defensive um stopper on their 116 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.120 team. If he goes right, oh yeah, what was Golden State? 117 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.360 That did you see? Yeah? They're at there's another I did that just 118 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:39.279 just out a whim. Okay, that's good to know. Thirteen this pretty 119 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.759 good price, yea for fifty bucks plus. You know, with with this, 120 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.120 with with with Draymond being the one to make this move, the Warriors 121 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.600 can move on and not be the ones say what were the bad guys? 122 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.360 We cut him loose? The one who just got it said I went out, 123 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:58.040 so okay go yeah. Um, the Celtics do not intend to trade 124 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:03.079 Jaylen Brown, and all sign point to um signing signing him to a five 125 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.279 year, two ninety five million super maxim ECCENTI. So the Celtics look to 126 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.240 keep Jaylen Brown with them. Um, what do you guys think about that? 127 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.600 Keeping him? I mean don't you. Yeah, I mean he's one 128 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.160 of the he's won some players in the NBA. You can't let a guy 129 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.360 like that go just yeah. But signing him and Jason to the Supermax, 130 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.120 Um, that's a lot of money out of the window, right, So 131 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.240 I mean they're also in a few years going to probably be struggling with, 132 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.800 like, you know the same kind of issue other teams struggling with, like 133 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.360 building a full rouse together, because even with both of them, Jason and 134 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:39.720 Jaylen Brown, they still lack certain things on their team. So we'll see. 135 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:45.000 Um. The Mexico manager, Diego Coca has been let go. Um. 136 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.039 He was in charge with their team for just four months and seven games. 137 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.080 Mexico soccer team, right yeah yeah, if you don't do well, 138 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:58.679 baby, VT it VT it ye, get the hell the door. See 139 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:07.679 the real business it especially Mexican soccer. Yeah, serious business. Especially happened 140 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.440 with him in the US. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's crazy. Um. 141 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.000 John Moran's camp but poorly feels like the NBA and the media are out 142 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:22.000 to get them.

Not Michigan, right, not Michigan either. Then I'm running 170 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:24.480 out of teams those two now Wisconsin either? Man? Who Indiana? Huh 171 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:31.159 wow? Exactly h Indiana. I saw that list. I'm thinking, because 172 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.639 there was it was like top twenty five, right, they did twenty five. 173 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.279 Well, Arizona wasn't in there. Yeah, no, Therizona wasn't in 174 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.120 there. Ucla was in there. But they have huge numbers, and I'm 175 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.759 thinking, how did they get these numbers? Now, this is not profit, 176 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.919 this is profitable. Okay, that's it was another list that came out. 177 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.399 I saw there was another list that came out about revenue. That's Arizona 178 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.120 was in was in there that surprised revenue. That surprised me. But it 179 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.799 had one hundred and thirty four revenue. I'm thinking, how what? Oh 180 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.840 god, I don't I don't have that one. But the top five in 181 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:09.360 order were Indiana shocker, Georgia not a shocker, Ohio State not a shocker. 182 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.080 Auburn a little bit of a shocker in that they're ahead of Alabama, 183 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.759 but that tells you that they're you know, they're paying you know that Alabama's 184 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:24.240 paying coaches more twenty two point nine eight million. And then another shocker per 185 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.279 Due and then another shock. This is per twenty two, twenty two, 186 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:35.039 twenty two, Central Florida. It's fifth, Kansas State, sixth, Alabama 187 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:43.120 seventh, Michigan eight in Illinois ninth. That's the interesting list. Air forces 188 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.919 in the top twenty five. Yeah, I saw that. When you get 189 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.080 to twenty five, you're talking about that that somebody that made seven million dollars 190 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.519 that that the list does include the private schools either, right, USC's the 191 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.960 Notre Dames. So this is all schools where you can you can get their 192 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.279 their their day. Do you say today? Right? Uh? Is that 193 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.679 what this was. I think, so that's what the other one was might 194 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:13.120 have been. Okay, it doesn't cite his source. And then then I, 195 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:15.360 like I said, there was there was one that said that was on 196 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.519 your revenue, and I think Arizona was in was in the top saw like 197 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.279 one hundred and thirty four. I'm thinking, really I didn't get that number. 198 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.360 It was such a big number. But I also just reading a bracketology. 199 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.639 This is a week old already. Uh there are number four in the 200 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.519 West. Um, so that's that's about right. They'll be probably here. 201 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.600 Here is the USA today had had the ranking of the top top schools in 202 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.480 revenue. Um. Trying to go through trying to get this, um, 203 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.120 uh, it doesn't have it. It doesn't have a list. It's just 204 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.679 it's got It's a long story and it didn't didn't come up with it this, 205 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.600 but I did see that Arizona and obviously the sec IS goals are the 206 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.480 ones that are making making the most money. So uh, it's kind of 207 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:05.360 nuts man. Yeah, if they just had all that money, especially after 208 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.000 a year of COVID when they were getting crushed the money. Yeah yeah, 209 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.639 yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Yep, yep. So 210 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.320 okay, so that was one and then um, a lot of the you 211 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:16.399 know, we talked about the US Open for for a little bit. We 212 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.919 gotta get out of here. You got our guests above camp. A lot 213 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.519 of people upset with the attendance at the US Open, not because there weren't 214 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.320 a lot of well, because there weren't a lot of people there. But 215 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.639 the reason there weren't a lot of people there because no, it's because the 216 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.639 the La Country Club where it was help hoarded the tickets and very few tickets 217 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.879 were available to the general public because they're a bunch of newty people. So 218 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:43.480 so there was attendance, but not not there are only twenty twenty three thousand 219 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.519 tickets sold together, but but more than more people there because they had tickets. 220 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.080 But but there weren't that many people there. There was nobody there, 221 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.159 And people are saying that was really disappointing that there weren't great routes for the 222 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.919 Open because they hoarded all the time.

So his Phoenix all glow or whatever 274 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:03.440 word from the newest trade with the Sons. Well, the same people they're 275 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:08.039 planning the parade route when Durant got traded here, or you know, you 276 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:15.799 have jumbling up this time around. They may ever lose a game the book 277 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:21.680 it well, is that what's been the general reaction? I mean, people 278 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:25.799 love it both you know, both sides. Chris Paul is gone. I 279 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.440 mean what do they think this all means. I don't think if the Chris 280 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.599 Paul is gone thing. I think that basically every game the Sons have ever 281 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.759 lost in the last three or four years was DeAndre Eaton's fault um, so 282 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.799 they'd like to see him gone. And there's certainly lots of speculation in the 283 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:48.480 last for twenty four hours now since the Paul that You Beal trade became not 284 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:53.319 official, but it was mentioned it was going to become official eventually. Last 285 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:57.400 twenty four hours, it's assumed that Eaton is going to be moved because they 286 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:04.279 have no bench and they have no money. That's not good. That's not 287 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.920 good. They didn't have any bench last this past season. Correct, They've 288 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.039 had three years to build a bench. I mean, they really became a 289 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:18.880 parent when they lost the finals against Milwaukee that they needed to add some pieces. 290 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:25.480 So I've been blaming James Jones for two years, being the previous two 291 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:29.359 off seasons. This year, I don't know if James Jones has anything to 292 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.039 do with anything, because it seems like Matt Iskey had the new the new 293 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:40.079 owner is this is like a fantasy basketball project, and that it doesn't seem 294 00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:44.799 to have a whole lot of basketball logic in my opinion. So obviously I'm 295 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:49.240 not getting my seat for the parade drive. So you know, and then 296 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:52.519 as as you would expect, you know, all of a sudden, the 297 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:55.680 Sons are a favorite to win, you know, to win the NBA and 298 00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.960 that type of stuff. But again again they were last year after the draft 299 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:06.880 trade too, right, So I mean, is it in that regard our 300 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:10.640 fans happy that you know, it should be as you're trying to do something? 301 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.599 Oh yeah, do they feel it's it's kind of I don't want to 302 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.160 say false, but it's like all show, I guess, let me ask 303 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:19.039 you, let me say it that way, you know, or or I 304 00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.559 mean, what's the reaction as far as that goes. I think it's kind 305 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.279 of a two part answer there. First step, it would have been no 306 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:32.279 matter who bought the team and got Robert Sarber out of here, it would 307 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:37.319 have been a positive. So we'll start with that part. And I do 308 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:42.799 think certainly the majority of the fans are definitely encouraged that you have an owner 309 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.519 who's more interested in winning basketball games and you know other things. You know, 310 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.640 god knows what it was actually if we know some of the things that 311 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.559 was reportedly going on with Sarber, and I'm guessing there's a whole lot of 312 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.680 other stuff that will never know, but you know, there's no question that 313 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:07.200 he was not a particularly popular owner amongst Sons employees, at least the ones 314 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.799 that I know, and uh, you know, I think that is no 315 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.759 longer. He was here even before the stuff broke in the ESPN story, 316 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:21.039 when it was almost calendar year ago, more than a calendar year ago. 317 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:26.440 Even before that, you know, I think that his uh popularity had started 318 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.039 to wig considerably. And when you don't make the playoffs for X number of 319 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.039 years, that's gonna happen. So you talked about DeAndre and we'll get to 320 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:37.599 that in a moment. I always I've always liked Um Williams and the coach, 321 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:42.319 the former coach Monty. Uh it was he a problem too, or 322 00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.400 maybe they just stopped playing for him because you know, he landed a job 323 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.000 real quick. I mean, he didn't even have to pack his bags. 324 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.920 So I thought he's a fantastic coach. I did too. I don't think 325 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.759 it was a problem with him. Um you know, I thought that James 326 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.200 Jones should if they were going to fire anybody, they should have fired James 327 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:04.559 Jones because he had two off seasons to build a bench and didn't. Now, 328 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:08.119 I don't think he has anything to do with anything because he's just basically 329 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:14.160 being told what to do Um, you know the it's interesting that the Beale 330 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:19.519 addition. Bartlestein is now part of the I don't know his official title CEO 331 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:23.359 or whatever it is. U is part of the front office. Yeah, 332 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:27.400 his son of Bartestein has been a long time I'm sure you know Steve, 333 00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:32.720 but he's been a long long time agent than the NBA. Very successful. 334 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:38.480 Um, he's got into this role of things now. His son is Bradley 335 00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:44.920 Beale's agent. So connect the docs. Yeah, induct he's a big He's 336 00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.160 a big Arizona fan. Every player he can get from Arizona, he tries 337 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.920 to do that. But that's for another day. Um, yeah, we'll 338 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:55.079 see what happens. Siman's on the staff now, I was gonna ask you 339 00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:57.920 about that. Yeah, what's up with that? Well, he used to 340 00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:03.240 be with Bogo and l Right, so I'm guessin that's got as much a 341 00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.200 doing as anything, but just too bad assignment. It's not like twenty five 342 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:14.160 and you can't still play well, you play much. He seemed to be 343 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:18.319 a very smart player. He's I really thought he was an excellent announcer where 344 00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.359 he was doing college games on ESPN, So I think he understands the game. 345 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.640 So I think that's a good thing, but I have no idea how 346 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.559 to actually judge him as an assistant. You'll probably play a player development, 347 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.079 but is that my understanding? You do not or the Suns do not have 348 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:38.359 a G League team because they had one before. They do not? Yeah, 349 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:42.039 well, I think that there's like, isn't there kind of a I 350 00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.680 wish I should know more about this, but I don't know if there's there's 351 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:52.519 a couple of organizations that kind of like marge together to have some other players 352 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.640 play in the G League or not not positive if the Suns are part of 353 00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.400 that. Yeah, well they got to get guys from some more so you 354 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.039 get they got to have something going on to be able to you know, 355 00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:08.440 see some guys. So m so is does this kind of alleviate you know, 356 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.880 the hangover of how the season ended and all that kind of stuff or 357 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.359 people fired up again? Is that wait and see kind of thing? What 358 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.079 do you think is as far as that goes? Yeah, we have a 359 00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:23.160 pull question today and when you know, the question was maybe I should have 360 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.359 phrased this differently. Um, you know, do you think that Booker, 361 00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:30.880 Paul and Bill can play together? And I actually think they can, and 362 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.319 I actually think though when tons of regular season games, because they're just outscore 363 00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:41.400 off the opposition of many nights. But as far as the postseason goes, 364 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.839 at some point you have to stop somebody. At some point you have to 365 00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.240 get a rebound. And I'm not sure how that's going to work once we 366 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:52.079 get to the postseason. We just saw that. I mean, they couldn't 367 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.200 have stopped. You know, the Nuggets are maybe a bad comparison because they're 368 00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.319 actually a basketball team. They have two great players, but they also had 369 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:06.759 like eight or nine guys that contributed, and the Suns right now have four 370 00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:11.920 max contract guys and really not a damn thing other than that. I'm tired 371 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:18.119 of watching Jakogi and Ishwenwright or whatever. Those guys should not even be on 372 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.319 the floor during a playoff game. And obviously those guys, especially at Koge 373 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:29.160 was getting key minutes and that was a complete waste of a position. Yeah, 374 00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:32.480 yeah, no, I agree with you. That's why I don't put 375 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.319 it on monkey. He had he had the pieces, and they were not 376 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.319 his pieces. He had two or three. That's it, agreed. And 377 00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.160 yeah, I'm not a campaign supporter. Some people in town here I think 378 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.000 he's the greatest player in the history of the planet. He had a tremendous 379 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:53.079 bubble. He wasn't even on the Sun's roster that season before the layoff, 380 00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:57.039 before they went to the Bubble. He had. Yeah, he had a 381 00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:02.359 history with Monnie Williams and Oklahoma City. He was really good the bubbles. 382 00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:06.519 He was actually pretty good for a lot of the geek a lot of the 383 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:10.920 season that went to the finals the following season. Uh, he hasn't done 384 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.920 jack since then. Uh. He's a good He's a good scorer. He's 385 00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.480 a point guard. He's not a good passer. He can't guard any of 386 00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.880 the three of us. I don't know about your guys game, but pretty 387 00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:26.200 pretty positive. But I could maybe you know, figure out how to try 388 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.960 to score against him. Uh. And now I know that some people just 389 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.640 assuming he's the starting point guard. I don't think that's true. And I 390 00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.160 think they'll just use you know, Booker and Durant to bring the ball up 391 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:42.400 and Bill certainly, Uh, he has passing skills and the fact that he 392 00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:48.519 Aver reached five assists on the team with guys that basically couldn't make shots is 393 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:55.680 actually speaks highly of Bill's passing skills. But it's just to be a part 394 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.640 of the after you get past the main four guys. And I don't think 395 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.440 I think there's Yeah, there's certainly tons of speculation that eight will not be 396 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:10.640 here next year and he will be moved for whatever pieces they can to develop 397 00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:14.480 a batch. Yeah, let's make your mood a little bit happier. You've 398 00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:18.319 been a little grumpy here. Let's talk about the Diamondbacks. What's up with 399 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.720 that diamond Okay for me to get grumpier, it's quite a stake this the 400 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.279 president. Let's make it Jake grumpy because you know all the Dame I can 401 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:32.039 be grup Okay, my man Jay, all right, he's a Dodger. 402 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:33.720 He's a Dodge. Yeah, I'm very grumpy right now. But the Dodgers 403 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:40.480 and the Diamondbacks. Oh, the Dodgers. Yeah, forty blown leads for 404 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.599 your bullpen this early in the season, they've got eighteen blown leads and what 405 00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:48.200 forty games or whatever? You know, that's got a good number. Yeah, 406 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:49.599 going to going to what you just said. I've got a bad shoulder, 407 00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:52.680 but I think I could go in there and get a saved. You 408 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.480 know, it's crazy, get a ground get a ground ball or something exactly. 409 00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:02.559 But what is up with the Diamondbacks only out? They're fun to watch. 410 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.359 Um, they're extremely athletic, you know, I don't I think it 411 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.759 was. It's so I think they were gonna they want to get athletic anyway, 412 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:15.000 and then the new rules are perfectly suited towards them. They've got, 413 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:21.599 you know, certainly a festival of athleticism at this point. So that just 414 00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:26.640 kind of coincidentally worked out with what they had talent wise, and because I 415 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.680 don't think aybody could have foreseen when they were drafting these guys that the game 416 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:37.000 would that the rules would change this drastically and speed and athleticism would be, 417 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:41.799 thank god, once again a bigger part of baseball. So it's a good 418 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:48.519 it's a good marriage there. They've only got two starting pitchers after that, 419 00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.519 good luck, and it's amazing they've won as many games as they have with 420 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.240 only two starting pitchers. And when Gallant and mayor Kelly are pitching right now, 421 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.920 it's there's no such thing as like a must win in June, but 422 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.160 we're pretty close, uh, And they have a very good record when those 423 00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.839 two guys start, and you know, no matter who else is starting, 424 00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:12.799 whether it David Zach Davies who came back from the injured list, Yeah, 425 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:18.319 he's not a swing of this guy, even though he was the previous start, 426 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.079 but yesterday actually the last two starts. Yeah, he's been hit really 427 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:27.960 hard. And if they had any options in the minor leagues or the current 428 00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:33.279 major league roster, I think that there's no way that the current guys that 429 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.680 they have starting this rotation at three, four and five, we'd be starting. 430 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.640 Well, what's even more amazing, Bob and I don't know if you 431 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.359 know this, My my, my, uh, let's say my nickname here 432 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:51.720 is the kod I'm the kiss of death on fantasy baseball players, on teams 433 00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:55.759 and whatnot. I've got three Diamondbacks on my team and they're all having really 434 00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.640 good years. Christian Walker could tell Marte and uh and uh that Callen and 435 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.599 I'm as far as that goes. I'm rooting for those guys, but pretty 436 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.680 much not anybody else. Just so you know that I'm fully with you. 437 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.000 I'm a fantasy player myself. I wish I had Diamondbacks. I don't have 438 00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:18.559 any. Um. I actually had tell Marte and uh. He got off 439 00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:22.319 to a slow start, and I needed to. We had to make a 440 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.240 roster move and can feel position, so we cut him. Not a smart 441 00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.720 not a smart move. There. We're actually winning that league in spite of 442 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:34.720 our stupidity, So hopefully that will continue. And Novella was just on the 443 00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:37.920 verge of not even being the manager getting fired and no, look I've got 444 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:42.000 an extension. I don't think he was ever going to be fired. Quite 445 00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:47.680 frankly, as long as Mike Hazen as the general manager. You know, 446 00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:52.319 they were together in Boston, obviously, that's a very reason why he's here. 447 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:57.079 Um yeah, they were terrible. Um yeah, Hazen took responsibility for 448 00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:01.279 you know, some of the moves that he made. Um So, I 449 00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:07.640 don't think he I've never had certainly it's one hundred and sixty two games or 450 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.839 not. I can agree with every decision of manager makes, but rarely have 451 00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:16.880 I even just really kind of wondered what's he doing here? But at no 452 00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:21.799 point that I think he was not a good manager. So the fact that 453 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:27.720 you know they've extended this contract and now that contract extension actually goes through twenty 454 00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:32.440 twenty four, which coincides with hayes AND's current contract is he well liked, 455 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:38.079 you know, boat among the media and the fans and everybody absolutely totally, 456 00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:45.400 and more importantly, the players. They love him and he rarely, no 457 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:50.359 matter how bad it was, even going one hundred and ten games, lost 458 00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:53.319 one hundred and ten lost season a couple of years ago, at least publicly. 459 00:32:53.960 --> 00:33:00.079 Uh, he rarely threw players under the bus. Um. He's I 460 00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:05.839 think he's just my Yeah. I haven't been around the team as much as 461 00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:10.519 I was prior to COVID and my illness from last year when I take the 462 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:16.079 medical leave. But he just seems to be a fabulous human being. Also, 463 00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.799 well, Bob, we appreciate your time. Thanks for filling in right 464 00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.519 now. Stay healthy. We'll we'll keep in touch right before the season starts 465 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:29.440 in August, no problem.

They have the lowest win total of any 468 00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.839 team, and we have places that they have already put up over unders and 469 00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.359 they're they're going to be so bad apparently that the total opened at five and 470 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:50.039 a half, and several casinos have gotten no action on the over so they've 471 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:53.079 lower at the four and a half. It's in a seventeen game season. 472 00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:59.240 It's hard. It's really hard. It's gonna be hot all summer. Okay, 473 00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:04.640 thank you, they have they have a roof. Good, they're good. 474 00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:08.320 Who raised the roof?

Now, all right, 554 00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:31.119 um, okay, So going back to a couple of things, going back 555 00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:35.000 to this whole revenue thing, I found. I found the USA today the 556 00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:39.079 full chart of of revenues um and now this is, you know, just 557 00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:44.639 total revenue in the department, all right, and now you who you think 558 00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:49.159 should be at the top is at the top, uh in order, let's 559 00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.840 say the top ten. You got a house state at two hundred and fifty 560 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:57.480 million dollars fifty one, Yeah, okay, Texas, Alabama, Michigan, 561 00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.480 Georgia, LSU, Texas, A and m Florida, Penn State, Oklahoma. 562 00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:04.360 Who's the source of lease? This is from US. And that's the 563 00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:07.320 same kind of list that you that this is it. This was in USA. 564 00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:09.679 Okay, Okay, so this this was this was made into the graphic 565 00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:14.320 that you and I saw it. This is the list where Arizona is thirty 566 00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:20.159 first. Okay, one hundred twenty four million. Number surprised me. That's 567 00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:22.599 a big number. Yeah, A su is just a couple of behind a 568 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:25.760 thirty third with one hundred and twenty one million. And then you go into 569 00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:30.440 the total expenses. All right, um, so this is where you start 570 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:35.280 talking profits and whatnot. So Indiana it's thirteenth on the list. In revenue. 571 00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:37.360 They brought in one hundred and sixty six million dollars then only spend one 572 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:43.920 hundred and thirty two million. Right, Arizona brought in one hundred twenty four 573 00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:52.760 one three fifty three. I guess they spent ninety five million farmore way month. 574 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:54.960 Dude, they give me they did not make a problem. Oh this 575 00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:59.039 is twenty two twenty two. Oh. I would have never thought that they 576 00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:02.519 spent They spent one twenty four nine forty four. So they were about even. 577 00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:07.119 They were about six hundred thousand dollars in the red Wow, and that 578 00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:10.599 doesn't happen very often, right, ASU was about three million dollars in the 579 00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:15.559 red um A school like uh, you know how State was twenty six million 580 00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:20.920 dollars in the black. Texas was only fourteen million dollars in the black. 581 00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:24.760 Um, let's see, let me find somebody else. You know, Texas, 582 00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:30.199 A and M spent all but uh sixteen million dollars of what they what 583 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.519 they got, So you know the I mean you know, I mean, 584 00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:37.719 uh, Ohio State spent two hundred twenty five million dollars on its own today 585 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:42.679 programs, which is a crazy number, you know. So anyway, so 586 00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.000 that's where you know that, that's where you see that. Let me see, 587 00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:50.039 I'm Oregon is Oregon is the top Pack twelve school. Well this doesn't 588 00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:52.119 again doesn't count public school, so we don't know about USC, we don't 589 00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:55.719 know about Notre Dame. Uh, we don't know the private school of Stanford. 590 00:41:57.079 --> 00:41:59.920 But of the of the schools in the report, Oregon was the highest 591 00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.800 Pack DWELF team at number nineteen, one hundred and fifty three million dollars, 592 00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:07.599 and they made a profit of about thirteen million dollars. So um, big 593 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:12.719 numbers of Washington one hundred forty five million dollars. But they were they were 594 00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:15.480 in the red bay about four million dollars. I mean they had to they 595 00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:20.360 but you know, look when you think about you know what do Arizona and 596 00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:24.880 UH and UH and UH Washington haven't common They both fired coaches recently, football 597 00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:30.559 coaches recently and a basketball coach recently, So that, you know, I 598 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:32.199 figured that that's where a lot of that I did Edie come in from. 599 00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:35.719 You don't just always go get it from boosters, right, No, so 600 00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:37.199 you know a little, but it's good to have them here. We got 601 00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:40.599 a call. All right, let's get that. Hi. You're on there 602 00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.800 and on the ball. How's it going today? What's up? Brian? 603 00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:50.679 Well, just listening to your numbers about the expenses and the cost and everything, 604 00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:53.360 and I'm sitting there going, this is more reason for us to go 605 00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:59.760 to the Big twelve. Yeah, yeah, just go. I'm sorry about 606 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:05.280 but if you stick San Diego State and some of their school in there, 607 00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:10.719 there's no way that you're gonna get a decent TV contract. So so, 608 00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:15.079 so, Brian, what's the number that you're looking at? Uh? You 609 00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:17.440 know, Gabe called earlier and talked about twenty two million. That's a little 610 00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:22.639 lights a little light. What's the what's the lightest number? I think we're 611 00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:25.480 gonna have to be looking. I don't know what the Big twelve, what 612 00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:29.000 they get, I don't know if they're TV contracts going to be that great, 613 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:34.079 but somewhere around thirty five million. Wow, oh, good luck with 614 00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.519 that. I think the big I know it's gonna be it's gonna be tough, 615 00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:42.039 because you know, they're all we can hope for is the Big twelve. 616 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:45.159 Okay. I know they're throwing all these names like Connecticut out and everything 617 00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:49.480 whatever, which I don't think is going to happen. I think they're just 618 00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:52.440 putting it out there just to put it out there. I think they would 619 00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:55.920 rather have. Of course, they rather have the teams are the four corner 620 00:43:55.960 --> 00:44:01.039 teams. They'd rather have those. I rather have. I think the Big 621 00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:07.320 Colorado Arizona. Yeah, I think the Big twelve number for the new contract 622 00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:09.719 that starts, you know in uh in twenty twenty four, I think the 623 00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:16.280 number was thirty one million is, which happens to be better than unless you 624 00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:19.719 know, aust My math is really bad. I know I'm old and everything, 625 00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.159 but I know it's better than twenty two million. Yeah, I know 626 00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:27.000 if that is the figure that you know everybody's going on. I mean, 627 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.960 you know, because we don't know for sure, but um, and I 628 00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:35.639 just think the Big twelve is just throwing out names just to throw out names, 629 00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:38.880 you know, because they have to look at you. If they they 630 00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:44.079 put thirty one million, you still got to look at Okay, the Big 631 00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:47.320 twelve schools, Baylor, whatever, going to Connecticut to play it could cost 632 00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:53.039 them too much money that they have to look at that also, and I 633 00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:58.840 think have by having the Arizona Colorado or a su or whatever, maybe throw 634 00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.039 a Utah in there. That also, you know, the traveling would not 635 00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:08.159 be as expensive. Yeah, yeah, if if all things are equal, 636 00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:10.880 though, Brian, I still want to be in the Pac twelve. Sorry, 637 00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:15.800 well I don't. I don't want to be. I don't want to 638 00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:20.079 be the wack Conference again, that's exactly where we're headed. Yeah, I 639 00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.760 don't, Brian. I think you're right, but I don't think for that 640 00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:27.599 long because eventually, eventually in our lifetime, hopefully that it's gonna be a 641 00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:32.239 big, massive force for right conference. I think. I think five years 642 00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:37.000 after the current TV deals are signed, in five years, it all breaks 643 00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:40.880 up again and restructures pretty much completely. They just need that amount of time 644 00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:44.280 to figure out how to do what it's going to look like and how to 645 00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:47.519 do it right? You know, I don't know. We'll say. I'm 646 00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:52.760 just not excited about, you know, the possible makeup of the pack twelve 647 00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:58.039 or ten, whatever hell it is. I'd rather say the pac ten than 648 00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:00.800 wind up adding. You know, I don't mind, San Diego stated, 649 00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:04.440 but it's the other school, right, A possibility? O there, the 650 00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:07.039 school that mothers me? Right, I hear you on that one. I 651 00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:09.199 do, I do? All right, Brian, Hey, thanks a much, 652 00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:14.039 man, I appreciate it. Okay, all right, Yeah, anybody 653 00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:15.679 want to call please do? We held about six minutes left, five to 654 00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:20.440 four one, six seventy four forty. Okay, let's go over to the 655 00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:23.039 issue of collectives. I found I found a definition of a collective on the 656 00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:28.719 IRS website, which must mean it's true, right, Okay, Okay, 657 00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:31.639 here's what it is, right out right off of an IRS website name image 658 00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:37.599 likeness. Collectives are structurally independent of a school, yet fund nil opportunities for 659 00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:43.159 the schools student athletes. They are typically founded by well known alumni and supporters 660 00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:46.960 of the school. Collectives generate and pool revenue raised through contributions from a wide 661 00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:52.239 variety of sources including boosters, businesses, fans, and more. They use 662 00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:55.800 these funds to create opportunities for student athletes who leverage their NIL in exchange for 663 00:46:55.880 --> 00:47:01.159 compensation, which doesn't sound all that different from from Arizona assist. No, 664 00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:07.239 this is just this is just Jagon's always getting his twelve buddies putting X amount 665 00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:08.800 of money and putting in the pool saying okay, we need a guy, 666 00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:13.800 here's some money. Right, Okay, So this on three, which is 667 00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:17.559 that that that uh website that does you know, value values and players and 668 00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:22.519 whatnot as uh, they've got basically got a directory of collectives and they say 669 00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:27.159 that Friends of Wilburn and Wilma definitely is that you a you've a collective? 670 00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:30.199 Correct um? Then they do everything they do every sport except for basketball. 671 00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:32.840 Right. Well, here's here's what it's saying. Here's what it says about 672 00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.079 about Friends of Wilburn and Wilmo. First of all, it said the founder 673 00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:42.280 is cal Davis, who we don't know called Davis is. Another founder is 674 00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:47.400 Humberto Lopez, another big booster um ray wells remember the football I guess the 675 00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:52.320 executive director. And this is the Wilburn and Wilma right, this is Friends 676 00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:57.079 Wilmo and then Joey Medina is the general manager. Okay, okay, here's 677 00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:59.880 what it says. Here's how it describes the Friends of Wilbur will says. 678 00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:02.639 The Friends of Wilburn and Wilma is an nil collective form of February twenty two, 679 00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:07.360 twenty twenty two that supports the creation and development of NAAL business opportunities for 680 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:13.320 all student athletes of Arizona's twenty one athletic programs. Founded by Lowa. Wildcat 681 00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:16.920 supporter is col Davison Umberto Lopez, Friends of Wilbur and Wilma will utilize Blueprint 682 00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:22.159 Sports Technology that's a name of a company to learn more about supporting Arizona student 683 00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:27.960 athletes NAO opportunities and connect with them. Friends of Wilburn and Wilma will initially 684 00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:31.199 focus on the year Zone A football program, while building momentum to support the 685 00:48:31.239 --> 00:48:38.199 Wildcat women's basketball, softball, and baseball programs. It's specified the collective also 686 00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:43.599 has the support of the Andre Agasy Foundation for Education. If I don't know, 687 00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:45.280 if you know andre Agassi's lawyer and agent, we talk to you, 688 00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:47.760 Yeah, we do, we talk to him. I didn't we talk to 689 00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:52.480 him. Okay, yeah, uh, I'm a big believer in in partner 690 00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:57.599 next wave of athletes, said AGAs and eight time grands time tennis champion quote, 691 00:48:57.639 --> 00:49:00.960 it's incredible to see and support this technology and they know the University of 692 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:06.239 Arizona student athletes will benefit greatly from this new organized support. Okay, So 693 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:08.960 that's that's one of the collectives right right, So there's there's another, big, 694 00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:14.880 bigger one obviously, but they um this one, this one twenty one 695 00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:19.559 sports. Uh, I'm surprised because they have some peavy hitters or that right 696 00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:22.960 right, So their money, their money isn't part of the probably isn't going 697 00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:28.199 to be mingled with the It doesn't go mingled with you of a revenue and 698 00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:31.039 whatnot. So there's the revenue, there's the regular u of a athletic department 699 00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:36.440 that needs money, right right, So now you have a bunch of hands 700 00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:40.119 or fingers to the hand that needs to be fed to fend not once twice 701 00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:44.519 every year, right every year the Waldcack club has to keep getting money. 702 00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:47.400 But then the collective has to keep where's the money? How about how deep 703 00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:53.880 with the pockets and if you have these heavy hitters doing this for Wilburt exactly. 704 00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:58.280 Well, old Davis's name is on the you know, is on bunch 705 00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:00.519 of buildings over there, right right, Um, But now he might be 706 00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:02.960 more selective and who he gives it to, right, I mean, because 707 00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:07.000 how many rich dudes do you are? There? Wow? But the fact 708 00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:08.719 that he went out in spite of all the other money that he's given to 709 00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:12.880 the universe, and he went out and helped found excuse me, found this. 710 00:50:13.199 --> 00:50:16.360 Yeah, he's obviously he's obviously supporting it. So you know, I 711 00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:20.039 don't know. Now the whole thing with collectives now and that this is the 712 00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:22.760 discussion and we don't got to complements that we were having with uh with Adam 713 00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:27.719 Lazarus, is that what collectives are doing versus what they were supposed to do 714 00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:30.639 are two different things. Collectives they're saying that collectives are just handing out the 715 00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:34.719 money. They're getting the money, and they're handing out Okay, you come 716 00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:37.840 here, we'll give you this right now. Probably somewhere along the line to 717 00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:40.880 try and make it as legal spouses to say, well, we'll give you 718 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.000 this, but you're gonna have to do three appearances. Sure, you know, 719 00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:47.360 sure, and we know we know at least what you've heard. I've 720 00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:52.800 heard some players basketball player got stuff, yeah, cars or whatever, and 721 00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:54.639 they were probably they endorsed the car. He got a real quick call. 722 00:50:55.119 --> 00:51:00.280 It's real quick. Higher on there and I on the ball. Hey guys, 723 00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:04.559 Uh, have you seen the USC football schism for twenty twenty four. 724 00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:08.119 It's illegitimate. Have you looked at it? We did, We talked about 725 00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:15.480 it last weeks. Is really bad too, Both of them are really bad. 726 00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:20.880 It's very third world. It's illegitimate, and it's uh, it's a 727 00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:23.639 part of the degradation of college football and what they've done to it. Were 728 00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:28.639 you talked about how about how much they got to travel and the teams that 729 00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:30.880 they got to play and it makes no sense? Yeah, no, I 730 00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:34.480 hear you, We hear well. I mean the fact that they're going to 731 00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:38.880 play their last five games at home is not legit. They're gonna pay devoiding 732 00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:44.039 avoiding bad weather by playing in October only on the road. Uh, you 733 00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:46.679 know, I mean, this is just it's a it's it's a makeup schedule, 734 00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:50.400 you know, it's come on, well again, it's you know, 735 00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:53.119 none of it makes any sense. So um, it doesn't. Yeah, 736 00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:58.119 we hear you. Hey, we got thanks smoked it for a time machine 737 00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:02.360 he took to go back to nineteen six.
