00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:39,479
doesn't get any crazy. We've been discussing Kilani Saitake, the

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,840
negotiations that have been occurring between him and his agents

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,159
as well as Penn State. How long has this been

16
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,679
going on, I imagine for the last few weeks. We'll

in scenic place such as Bryce Canyon and Ruby's In.

33
00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:46,599
Speaker 3: All right, let me give you the most recent report.

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,359
Speaker 2: This is coming from on three ok Brett McMurphy as

35
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:56,920
well as Pete Nacos and I believe Chris Lowe. Okay,

36
00:01:56,959 --> 00:02:00,640
so this just dropped. I want to say, man, just

37
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:01,840
about twenty minutes ago.

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: Guys.

39
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read through it for you guys and let

40
00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:09,199
you know what they're saying. BYU's Kalani Satake has emerged

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,840
as the top target at Penn State.

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: Okay.

43
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: Sources told on threes Bret McMurphy, Chris Low, and Pete Nacos.

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,080
The two sides have had extensive conversations in recent weeks.

45
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:24,840
Sources have told On three that the Niitney Lions have

46
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,240
laid out a plan to provide top and resources in

47
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:33,639
nil and salary pool. Penn State Athletic director Pat Kraft

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,280
fired James Franklin on October twelfth after losses to UCLA

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,960
and Northwestern Satake is eighty three and forty four as

50
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:44,639
BYUS head coach and is leading the program to its

51
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,800
first Big twelve Conference title game appearance. He took the

52
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:49,960
job in twenty sixteen and led the Cougars as an

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,000
independent before BYU joined the Big Twelve in twenty twenty two.

54
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:56,680
He's currently in the midst of his second consecutive eleven

55
00:02:56,719 --> 00:03:00,360
win season. Sources have also told On three that the

56
00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:04,120
Nitney Lions have made made it clear to stake that

57
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:05,080
they will offer.

58
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,199
Speaker 3: This is where it gets really intriguing.

59
00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: A lucrative salary pool, including defensive coordinator j Hill. The Cougars,

60
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,080
who are fifty six and nineteen since twenty twenty. Okay,

61
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:24,680
they ranked I think believe I believe that ranks. Kalani

62
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:33,479
seventh best among FBS programs, only behind Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon,

63
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,240
Notre Dame, and Michigan. Early today, Kilani stated that in

64
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:41,840
his press conference, I'm all about the Big Twelve championship

65
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,919
and keeping our team focused on that. We're going to

66
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:52,000
avoid all the distractions. Eighty craft of Penn State have

67
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:58,120
run an under the Radar coaching search. Indiana's Kurt Signetti,

68
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:00,560
Texas A and M's Mike Elko and debrass met Rule

69
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:04,120
were all names of note in the search, each of

70
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:07,960
who have now signed contract extensions to stay at their

71
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,879
respective school. Franklin was fired with a four and to

72
00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:15,680
one win mark against AP Top ten opponents, including a

73
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:19,319
one in eighteen mark against top ten Big ten teams.

74
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:23,240
Franklin's winning percentage against AP Top ten teams is tied

75
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,800
for the third worst record by a coach minimum of

76
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,160
twenty five games at a single school since the Pole

77
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:32,680
Arab began in nineteen thirty six. So he won a

78
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,920
lot of football games, got to College Football playoff and

79
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,879
in Broadpenn State out of the mucket was in post

80
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:48,000
Paterno scandal, and but this was always the underlying issue.

81
00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:51,879
Couldn't win the big games. Was a builder of men,

82
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:56,199
a culture builder, but couldn't win the big games. Now,

83
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,360
how many times has Killatte had the opportunity at PY

84
00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:04,120
you to take on top ten opponents. Not not at

85
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,360
all often. I mean, I imagine his record is not

86
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:08,639
great against top ten opponents. It's very difficult to win

87
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,279
against the elite of college football. But he's done fairly

88
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,680
well against top twenty five foes. Okay, and I'll pull

89
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,680
those data. I can maybe pull those analytics here momentarily,

90
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,680
but that's a little bit of an insider report there.

91
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,680
And I'm getting more texts, getting more data, getting more

92
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,879
in information. Like I said, I have had two stories

93
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:32,639
told to me over the last twenty four hours. Number

94
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,279
one the optimistic story that Brian Santiago, Shane Reese, Keith

95
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:40,000
ar King are all in on Kalani Shatake. They're trying

96
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,759
to approve everything that Kalani has requested for fair market

97
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:48,639
value okay, resource allocation to his coaching staff, and nil

98
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:53,920
offerings that are competitive with you know, the top thirty

99
00:05:54,399 --> 00:06:00,519
programs in college football. Okay, that messaging, Okay, that request

100
00:06:01,079 --> 00:06:04,920
from Brin Santiago, Shane Reee, Keith forking. They've essentially approved it.

101
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:07,879
Now it has to be run up the chain, the

102
00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:10,560
chain of command. Clark Gilbert has to.

103
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: Approve of it. He's uh. He oversees as.

104
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: A general authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of

105
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,519
latterday Saints, the Church Educational System okay, which as an

106
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,959
he oversees bringing me on university okay. That then goes

107
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:29,079
up to the Board of Trustees, the first Presidency and

108
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,600
the Apostles of the Church of just Christ of Laturday Saints.

109
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,800
And there are other probably consultants within that. I don't

110
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,480
have a full list of the Board of Trustees, but

111
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:40,199
I can look it up.

112
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: They have to approve it. They already did it.

113
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: By the way, they already agreed to a robust resource offering.

114
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 3: To the BAU basketball program.

115
00:06:53,240 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: They've built an NBA squad through organizational design. I think

116
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,920
you have the Milwaukee Bucks strengthen adeditioning coaches, mental coach,

117
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,160
mental performance coaches.

118
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: You have the Phoenix Suns nutritionists. You have.

119
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: Like G League and EuroLeague coaches on your staff that

120
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,279
have good ties and connections in relationship with Kevin Young,

121
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:26,079
who was the highest paid assistant coach in the NBA

122
00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:30,439
reportedly receiving four point three to five million or so

123
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,000
dollars a year and his initial contract and that has

124
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:39,879
recently been extended after a great first Foray in the

125
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,600
Big twelve and college basketball.

126
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:44,439
Speaker 3: Are getting to a Sweet sixteen. So they've already done it.

127
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,199
Speaker 2: They set a president that they're going to invest in

128
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:54,279
the ambassadorial tool of BYU athletics. They're going to allow

129
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,959
for the donors, the corporate sponsorships to Boowye up Brigham. Remember,

130
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,040
none of the tithing funds, none of the offerings, fast offerings,

131
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:09,160
very little if any of the student fees trickle down

132
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,720
to the athletic department, they could see what they kill.

133
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:15,639
Speaker 3: As I've said many times, that is the nature of it.

134
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:19,439
Speaker 2: I pulled the US Department of Education numbers recently.

135
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: For twenty twenty three.

136
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: Now, these are the numbers that were given to the

137
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:29,480
US Department of Education from BYU. Whoever the controllers. I

138
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,200
believe it's down in Moody. I think that's who would

139
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,159
submit these numbers. If they're audited and accurate, I'm not sure,

140
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,840
but this is what was submitted. I think it is

141
00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:45,720
accurate BYU's Athletic department in twenty twenty three revgend one

142
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:50,720
hundred and twenty nine million dollars. That is nice, That

143
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:54,000
is robust. Just to give you a little glimpse of

144
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,679
what happened over the last twenty years when I was

145
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,759
at BYU. Okay, you pull these same numbers in the

146
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:03,320
Mountain West, like two thousand and five, two thousand and

147
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,480
six BYU was making as an athletic department, maybe twenty million.

148
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,840
So you see how how robust the offering is now

149
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:16,960
as it pertains to revenue generation, how you can allocate

150
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:20,360
those funds to personnel. And you do have something on

151
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:22,639
the horizon that you haven't accounted for just yet, which

152
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,480
is revshare. So what was the profit right? Most of

153
00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:30,080
these athletic departments use it until they lose it. Right,

154
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,159
they get subsidies from the state that will funnel down

155
00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:36,519
through you know, via student fees, et cetera. But you

156
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,919
know these athletic departments, Remember, Kyle Whittingham is the highest

157
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:41,320
paid employee in the state of Utah, and your tax

158
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,639
dollars go towards the University of Utah and Kyle Winningham's

159
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,840
salary and he's making you know, I don't know, five

160
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,279
point three million dollars a year with you know, plus incentives.

161
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,799
So just keep that all in mind as we go

162
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,879
through these numbers. The numbers show in twenty twenty three

163
00:09:57,879 --> 00:10:01,799
that BYU had a fourteen million dollar surplus of profit

164
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,720
in their athletic department. As Tom Homo has stated for years,

165
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,399
we run in the black. We're one of like five

166
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,039
programs in the in college athletics that run in the black,

167
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:14,759
and we're very proud of that. Obviously, we are fiscally minded,

168
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:18,000
We are very judicious about how we allocate resources, as

169
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,720
we should be, you know, and will continue to be.

170
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: But what I'm getting at here is like there is

171
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,360
money to be distributed.

172
00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 2: Like I said, you still have to account for the

173
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,919
revenue revenue distribution, the REV share, So you can allocate

174
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:44,519
up to twenty million dollars from your TV generated money

175
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,799
twenty point five million dollars per the NCAA right per

176
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,000
the UH you know the recent ruling.

177
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,399
Speaker 3: You can distribute that amongst.

178
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,879
Speaker 2: Your your player population, your your your your workforce essentially.

179
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: Okay, you're you're, your talents, the lifeblood of the program.

180
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:07,519
Speaker 2: So I don't know if Bway's going to go all

181
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,799
in on REV share, right especially if you're having to

182
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:11,679
pay coaches a little bit more, you're having to elevate

183
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,159
the coaching salary poll, et cetera.

184
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,039
Speaker 3: But that's what they're trying to do right now.

185
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:18,039
Speaker 2: I believe that's the story that I've been told to say, Hey,

186
00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:20,480
we're trying to get this approved so that we can

187
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:24,840
pay a fair market rate and have long term tenure

188
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:28,840
for these coaches as well. And because if you see

189
00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:31,720
Kurt Signetti, who's done great things. I'm not saying Kalani

190
00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:34,360
deserves what Kurt Signetti got, but if he got an

191
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:38,279
a nine year, million, ninety three million dollar deal and

192
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,519
that's the market rate for top ten coaches, well, where

193
00:11:42,519 --> 00:11:45,320
does that put top five coaches? Where does that put

194
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:48,240
Kalani as a top twenty coach? You know, many would

195
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,600
say he's a top fifteen coach with his win loss record. Okay,

196
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:55,559
over that six year period from twenty twenty to present day,

197
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,919
he's got four top twenty I believe, top top twenty.

198
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,919
He finishes in three top fifteen finishes. And think of

199
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,559
what BYU could be in the future once they get

200
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,679
even more brand equity that they don't have right now.

201
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,639
You can see that with the College Football Playoff Committee

202
00:12:11,639 --> 00:12:14,200
and how they rank BYU. They're not even mentioning BYU

203
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,720
right now when they're comparing and contract contrasting resumes. They're

204
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,600
putting Alabama in Oklahoma in Miami and Notre Dame and

205
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,480
all these other schools up there, and they're not including BYU.

206
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,200
So you can see how that also could contribute to

207
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:34,519
you know, Kilani saying, wow, man, if I win ten games,

208
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,759
if I'm ten and two at Penn State, I'm probably

209
00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:38,240
getting into the colle Football Playoff.

210
00:12:38,879 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: Now. I do not believe that Killani is chasing money.

211
00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:46,799
Speaker 2: I really don't. People are like, oh no, Kilt, he's

212
00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:49,879
chasing money. He has never chased money like he is

213
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,080
more often advocated for more resources being allocated to his

214
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,919
coaching staff. And I think we could get individuals on

215
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,480
record that would corroborate that. And he's all he's advocated for. Uh,

216
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,519
I think nil. Look at what he did with the

217
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,519
Built for Life Built Bar deal. He didn't even he

218
00:13:10,919 --> 00:13:14,360
paid walk On like he's trying his best to.

219
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,879
Speaker 3: Bow up BYU an affair.

220
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,399
Speaker 2: And I would say, you know, just just a fair

221
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,559
and uh, you know, just an equal manner as best

222
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,559
as he can but you need alignment.

223
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 3: I've said it time and time again. You need alignment

224
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,320
of the silos.

225
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,039
Speaker 2: If BYU is an ambassadorial tool for good and you're

226
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:40,879
seeing service projects correlated with wherever BU basketball or BYU

227
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,360
football goes, we all know that Brigham Young University and

228
00:13:45,399 --> 00:13:47,600
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have

229
00:13:47,799 --> 00:13:53,960
plenty of resources to boo ye up. An ambassadorial tool

230
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,919
of the faith, such as BYU athletics is by athletics.

231
00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:00,720
I was gonna be perfect the student athletes, I was

232
00:14:00,759 --> 00:14:01,960
gonna be parow the coach that I was gonna be

233
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:08,159
per No. But when you when you combine that that

234
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,679
force right of great to elite athletic play, and then

235
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,879
you can showcase your talents.

236
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: You're not supposed to bury your talents.

237
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: And athletics and human performance is a talent just like Okay, music,

238
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,840
just like you know any other the many temporal and

239
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:28,679
spiritual gifts that are bestowed upon the children of men. Okay,

240
00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:31,919
you go and you combine force with the alumni association.

241
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,639
You combined force it with the Latter Day Saints in

242
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:36,879
those communities. When you head out to Cincinnati, you you

243
00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:41,240
you donate twenty seven pounds of food and you go

244
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:44,840
thrust in your siicle with your might in these communities

245
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:50,919
and you you create these anecdotal positive experience for people

246
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:52,759
that may not be familiar with the Church of Jesus

247
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,960
Christ of Latter day Saints and it's members or it's

248
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,679
athletic department and the student athletes that are that are

249
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,519
being showcased on the field to play. So what I'm

250
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:08,000
getting at here is I think the call to action

251
00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:11,840
is to meet the standard that has already been stet

252
00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:19,840
from Brian Santiago with the basketball program period, and to

253
00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:25,919
inject and support, you know, the football program in a

254
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,000
manner that says athletics is an ambassador to a tool

255
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,679
and to embrace it. Who's who have we seen, Ronald

256
00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:36,200
the three man We've I'm gonna let you, let you

257
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,080
get in on this action.

258
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: Which member of the quorm of the twelve.

259
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: Have we seen actively engaged recently yet football and basketball games.

260
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:54,120
It seems like every single week there is a member

261
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,000
of the first Presidency or the form of the twelve

262
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,639
at every basketball game and football game.

263
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: On the trip out to Orlando.

264
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: Recently, a basketball Ronald A rasban Elder Rasband was there.

265
00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: He was there last year at the Baylor game.

266
00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: He's been engaged Russell M. Nelson. I mean, excuse me.

267
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: Elder Oakes showed up to a BYU football game this year.

268
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,639
Speaker 4: So Gong was passing out ice cream this past weekend.

269
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,039
Speaker 2: Elder Gong was passing out ice cream to ancestor Gong

270
00:16:24,519 --> 00:16:27,159
UCF fans in the stadium.

271
00:16:27,679 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: Holland was at the game. He was in a wheelchair.

272
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,159
He won't right past me.

273
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: Elder Holland was at the gate.

274
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 5: Elder Anderson participates. He wore a BYU helmet two years ago.

275
00:16:35,519 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: Ben Yeah, I mean to me.

276
00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: Like I feel like we know what we should do, right,

277
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:49,440
Like we know what should do? Is Kalanie the face

278
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:56,679
of BYU football, that the board of Trustees and that

279
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:04,039
the BYU's BYU's administration wants to showcase in usher and

280
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,640
in front of the world outside of the first Presidency

281
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:13,000
and the corner of the twelve. What's the most visible

282
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:20,319
visible what's the most visual position of employment? Essentially of

283
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,319
the church's just Christ letter Saints, it's it's the BA

284
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,079
football coach I was. I used to call Lavelle Edwards

285
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,960
the thirteenth apostle. That man spoke at general conference, He

286
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:39,200
spoke at BYU devotionals, right, and so you know, do

287
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,039
you believe that Kilane can be that guy for you?

288
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:45,079
Has he been that guy for you up to this point?

289
00:17:46,079 --> 00:17:48,880
That's the question I have. And if you think he is,

290
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,079
then I think that that the b Yu uh b

291
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:59,839
Yu administration. You know that that's comprised of Elder Gilbert

292
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:03,400
Shane Reese, President and VP.

293
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 3: Of Advancement, as well as Brian Santiago.

294
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:11,039
Speaker 2: They're gonna push to retain Kilani amidst Penn State, pushing

295
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:16,599
extremely aggressively as the top candidate of their university, being

296
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,160
willing and capable of doling out not only an eight

297
00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:31,000
figure sum to Killani, but also a robust salary for

298
00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:34,559
all of the assistant coaches, which would include the ability

299
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:38,640
to retain and attract Jay Hill on his staff.

300
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 3: That's what on three reported.

301
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:48,039
Speaker 2: So if Kolani leaves because BYU doesn't want to maybe

302
00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:54,160
invest in the ambassadorial football tool and match, you know,

303
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,799
some or or at least create some sort of symmetry

304
00:18:56,799 --> 00:19:00,000
and congruency between how they're investing in basketball as opposed

305
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,720
the football, you could lose out on J Hill too

306
00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:08,039
for this report. What would the reaction be amongst the

307
00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:11,839
Cougar faithful if Kalani left and took his entire staff

308
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:14,160
with him, You do not retain J Hill because right now,

309
00:19:14,599 --> 00:19:18,039
all I'm hearing is well, if Kalanie leaves, Jhill's going

310
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:18,640
to be your guy.

311
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 3: On three reported that Jy Hill.

312
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,039
Speaker 2: That Penn State would be very aggressive about retaining J

313
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:30,200
Hill as his assistant head coach as well as the

314
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,119
defensive coordinator.

315
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,759
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Like, that's where we stand

316
00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:35,279
right now.

317
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:42,279
Speaker 2: There would be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth in Kugarnation. Okay,

Speaker 1: Great to see everyone. I want to start off with

378
00:22:32,839 --> 00:22:36,200
a couple of congratulations. First, e Yu, I want to

379
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,680
think and congratulate President Jane Reese, Ad Bryan Santiago, and

380
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,400
of course head coach Kalani.

381
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 3: Just a great season.

382
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: And we welcome you to Arlington later this week. From

383
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,160
a Texas Tech perspective, obviously, I want to congratulate Laurence Skubenek,

384
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,839
the President A. D. Kirby Holkitt and of course head

385
00:22:56,839 --> 00:23:00,559
coach Joey Again, just a great season and we look

386
00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:03,640
forward to having you in Arlington later this week. I'm

387
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,160
really excited for the Edward Jones betwe A Football Championship.

388
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,599
It's going to be a big time event. Limited tickets

389
00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:15,440
are available. We do expect a sellout and we're going

390
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:18,400
to show in every facet of the game why the

391
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,160
Big Twelve is truly a different lead. A big part

392
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,279
of that will be our halftime show, and as you

393
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,160
all probably know already, we're the only conference in America

394
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:32,720
that does a big time halftime show. This year, we're

395
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:35,960
going to be honored to have country star John Party

396
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,720
with us, and John is with us this morning to

397
00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:41,960
say a couple of words about how excited he is

398
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,559
to be part of this incredible event this Saturday in Arlington.

399
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,519
Speaker 3: John again.

400
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: So Yo, that's Brett your Mark introducing, you know, the

401
00:23:51,519 --> 00:23:55,880
coaches in discussing what this Big Twelve Championship supposed to be. Look,

402
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,880
we delved into, i think last week the SoundBite from

403
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:11,119
Brett yor Mark finally finally putting his approval on BYU.

404
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,880
Found it interesting that you know that he was kind

405
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,960
of slow to advocate for BYU. Would you say that's

406
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,440
an accurate depiction, Ronald, the Three Man Weavers a little

407
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,400
bit slow to advocate for BYU.

408
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 4: One hundred percent.

409
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 5: I think he's advocated more for the School of North

410
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:29,000
Utah than BYU.

411
00:24:29,079 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: For sure, I would agree with that.

412
00:24:31,799 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: He went on record during the ASUU of a game

413
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,920
and stated BYO is a better overall record, better strength

414
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,119
of record or better strength of of record, and a

415
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,440
better strength of schedule than Notre Dame. He doesn't even

416
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,079
think it's close. Boy's body, you work at eleven one

417
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,920
is being undervalued by the college football playoff committee. Let's

418
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,759
not look at logos, Let's look at resumes in comparison

419
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:56,440
with Notre Dame. BAO is a better overall record, better

420
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,039
strength of record, and better strength of schedule. So he's

421
00:25:01,039 --> 00:25:04,079
picking fights right now with a fighting Irish and I

422
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,519
love every bit of it. Let's get back to the

423
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:13,279
shown and discuss what Kalatate and Joey mcguariree are cooking

424
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:14,359
for their respective teams.

425
00:25:14,599 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 8: Again, honored to have you, Please take it away, Hey,

426
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,200
thanks for having me. Congrats everybody making it here. Big

427
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:23,319
twelve a different league. This is gonna be a high

428
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,119
energy halftime show.

429
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 4: I'm very excited.

430
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,279
Speaker 8: We've been working with so many people to bring us

431
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:31,759
all together. You know, we've got marching bands and it's

432
00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:33,920
just really it's gonna be.

433
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 4: It's gonna get.

434
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 8: Everybody pumped up, and we look at it as just

435
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:40,000
it gets me excited. As soon as you started talking

436
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:42,519
I was like, Yeah, football, baby, let's go football and

437
00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:43,200
country music.

438
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,319
Speaker 4: It's gonna be great. So I'm so proud to be

439
00:25:46,319 --> 00:25:46,720
a part of this.

440
00:25:46,839 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 8: Thank you for having me, and look forward to the

441
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,000
halftime show and staying for the game.

442
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 4: Thank you, John So.

443
00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:57,559
Speaker 1: I often say there's never been a better time to

444
00:25:57,599 --> 00:26:01,160
be part of this conference, and that could be no

445
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,480
more evident than this past week alone. We've had an

446
00:26:05,559 --> 00:26:09,640
unprecedented run to the start of the basketball season. We've

447
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:15,079
had TCU now qualify and reach in women's soccer the

448
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,799
College Cup. We sent a nation leading ten teams to

449
00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:24,640
the NCAA volleyball tournament last night a Big twelve record,

450
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:29,440
and we saw Iowa State beat the number three team

451
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:35,599
in wrestling Iowa yesterday. All that is an incredible runway

452
00:26:35,799 --> 00:26:38,640
to what we think will be just a fantastic matchup

453
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,000
this week in Arlington when BYU.

454
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:42,759
Speaker 4: Faces Texas Tech.

455
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,759
Speaker 1: Both programs got to Arlington by earning it on the

456
00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:49,359
field with an impressive eleven.

457
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:49,839
Speaker 4: To one records.

458
00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:53,039
Speaker 1: Just like when these two teams met in love It

459
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,319
last month, All eyes again will be on the Big

460
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,960
twelve when they take the field this Saturday. In our

461
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:03,960
Lincolns Live on ABC at eleven o'clock CT.

462
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: Both programs are not only worthy of.

463
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: Competing in the Big twelve Titan, but they both deserve

464
00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:16,559
to be in the CFP based on their resumes and

465
00:27:16,599 --> 00:27:21,079
their bodies to work. Texas tech terrific season has them

466
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,960
firm in the CFP.

467
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 4: No doubt they are shoeing.

468
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,079
Speaker 1: And I said that last Friday, Eyu's body of work

469
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,759
at eleven and one is being under value by the

470
00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:37,920
CMP committee at number eleven in rankings. Let's not look

471
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,000
at logos, Let's look at resumes.

472
00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 3: Diego.

473
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,759
Speaker 2: That's Brett ol Mark just going off on this particular scenario.

474
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,000
Like I said, like he started advocate for BYU, and

475
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,680
obviously he thinks Texas Tech is the bell of the

476
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,799
ball within the Big twelve. You also mentioned Utah being

477
00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:02,799
very competitive and there's irving of consideration in the in

478
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,640
the top ten of the College Football Playoff Committee's polls.

479
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:07,279
Speaker 1: Uh.

480
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 2: But then he went on a bit of an aggressive

481
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,279
took on a bit of an aggressive tone when he said,

482
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,720
by you, Uh, he felt like the colle Football Playoff

483
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:17,799
comtee is going to get it right.

484
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

485
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,839
Speaker 2: They've been undervalued, right and and you hurt him there,

486
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,359
UH state as much UH and he'll continue to advocate now, Like.

487
00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:28,519
Speaker 3: I wish it was a little bit earlier in the process.

488
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 2: It feels like a little too little, too late in

489
00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:40,240
order to sway the committee to to think differently than

490
00:28:40,279 --> 00:28:45,079
they already have. You know, they look when I see

491
00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:49,319
and there's another SoundBite actually will play later on Trevor

492
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:52,119
Maddic Okay reviews all the resumes.

493
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 3: A BYOLA national champion.

494
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 2: He's been a part of the ESPN team for a

495
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,000
long time as a commentator and analyst. We've had him

496
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,480
on the show many times. He's on Sports Nation. If

497
00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:04,240
anyone can make a case for BYU, it would be Trevor.

498
00:29:04,519 --> 00:29:08,279
Even Trevor states that, look, b yu's not getting into

499
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:11,480
the big into the college Football Playoff unless they beat

500
00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:15,759
Texas Tech in Arlington, even with that record, even with

501
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:18,799
the strength of record, even with their there you know,

502
00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:21,920
they have you know, the pretty much the most wins

503
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:28,559
amongst the candidates of at large candidates versus bull eligible teams.

504
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:34,119
So there's too many objective data points in favor of

505
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,839
BYU to not conclude that there is some sort of

506
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,839
bias against BYU. Where does that bias stem from? Is

507
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,720
it brand equity through the Big twelve? Is it brand

508
00:29:46,759 --> 00:29:49,960
equity that hasn't been built since nineteen seventy two with

509
00:29:50,079 --> 00:29:52,759
all the Whack and Mountain West Conference championships.

510
00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:54,039
Speaker 3: How BYU found.

511
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:57,319
Speaker 2: Its way through the lone and dreary world the wilderness

512
00:29:57,359 --> 00:30:02,720
wandering in during independence and stayed liviable, stayed prominent, stayed

513
00:30:02,839 --> 00:30:07,599
ranked many years. Like it's just like, is it because

514
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,880
they didn't have bag men paying for players? It's because

515
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,279
they didn't have a robust of a nil offering as

516
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,559
other programs up to this point. Some people will lean

517
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,920
on the religious bigotry. Some people will lean on the

518
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,440
the that could exist.

519
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 4: UH.

520
00:30:25,559 --> 00:30:30,359
Speaker 2: Someone lean on like the the independent way right, the

521
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:31,240
the independence.

522
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:31,839
Speaker 3: Uh.

523
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: You know when you're you lose a game and all

524
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,160
of a sudden you're out of the the conversation and

525
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,400
you're going to a bowl game that's like the point

526
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,559
setia Ble or the Independence Bowl.

527
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,039
Speaker 3: It's just not a prominent bowl game.

528
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:51,279
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, there's something a ride, there's something amiss.

529
00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:53,079
Speaker 3: BYU.

530
00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: Over the last two seasons, UH has been tremendous elite

531
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:02,720
UH in their win life record. The haters are going

532
00:31:02,759 --> 00:31:05,119
to say the margin of victory hasn't been impressive enough.

533
00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:08,759
The game control hasn't been impressive enough. They're a complimentary

534
00:31:08,759 --> 00:31:10,240
football team that's really gritty.

535
00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 3: They just find a way to win. That's what they're

536
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,039
gonna say. The eye test, you know.

537
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: Just doesn't seem like they're a college football playoff team,

538
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:23,440
and they're not trending in the way that we would

539
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,640
like to see them trend in late November like some

540
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,480
of these other teams with convincing victories of game control

541
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:29,519
and margin.

542
00:31:29,559 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: That we like to see.

543
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:35,319
Speaker 2: That's what the state of this situation is anyways, Brett

544
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,720
or Mark finally getting out in front of it.

545
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: Though.

546
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: Let's get back to sound and commentary. Brett Ormark, Kaloni Sataki,

547
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,119
Joey Maguire.

548
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,319
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me, man. I'm really fared up because

549
00:31:48,359 --> 00:31:55,079
I get to play a good bread decline. I love it, dude.

550
00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:57,799
Think O live for high energy guys.

551
00:31:58,359 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 3: We have.

552
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 6: Very physical teams. I think the two best teams in

553
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,960
the conference are playing this weekend. He's a players coach

554
00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:09,960
like me, loves his guys, and I'm just honored and

555
00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:14,039
fired up. Someone pressed for this team. I'm sitting here

556
00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:17,519
watching his last two games since we played and they

557
00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:18,839
just keep getting better and better.

558
00:32:18,839 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 3: I think he's got one.

559
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,359
Speaker 6: Of the best freshmen in the country and quarterback and

560
00:32:24,079 --> 00:32:27,680
got an incredible staff. So we're really honored. We're excited,

561
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,799
and do feel like we've earned our right to play

562
00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:35,480
in this game. I'm gonna echo what Commissioner Normark said.

563
00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:38,680
I said this after my press conference in West Virginia.

564
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,799
Speaker 4: I think that, without a doubt, we.

565
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,799
Speaker 6: Both should be in the playoffs no matter what happens

566
00:32:44,799 --> 00:32:47,400
on Saturday. I think we've earned the right, and I

567
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,279
think whenever you look at it, they're discount both of us.

568
00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:55,440
Whenever you're talking about where we're ruting. I think we're

569
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,160
as good as anybody in the country, and we're gonna

570
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,000
put on a great game. Excited. I'm excited. It's my

571
00:33:02,039 --> 00:33:05,200
favorite place in the world to coach, in Cowboys Stadium.

572
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,160
I've had the opportunity to coach there alive, you know,

573
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,920
whether I was at Senior Hill Bayner, and so I'm excited.

574
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,960
I'm excited for our players to be a part of that.

575
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:17,480
But Klanni, man, I'm glad it's me and you, bro,

576
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,720
and I can't wait for Saturday. You know, the respect

577
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:25,440
and apprenticeship that I have for you. So with that

578
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:27,400
I'll turn it over with to my good friend.

579
00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 7: Thank you.

580
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,319
Speaker 3: Okay, once again, like you have.

581
00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:45,359
Speaker 2: Like this advocacy, this love, this appreciation for Kilani stake

582
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:51,359
that you're not going to get, in my opinion, anywhere else.

583
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,039
I believe it's an imperative to retain Kilani.

584
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:56,279
Speaker 3: At b Yu.

585
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: It's like I've been pretty I've been very consistent about this.

586
00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:03,839
One of the main questions that we were asked as

587
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,400
members of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Lattery

588
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,119
States in order to answer the temple, are you honest

589
00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:14,599
in your dealings with your fellow man? And I believe

590
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:20,079
as an extension of that question, as I know the

591
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:24,039
church and bring them you on university, I think we

592
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:29,039
should pay a fair market rate for the talents and

593
00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:34,360
abilities of the personnel that represent the institution. And what

594
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,400
that does when you pay a fair market rate, it

595
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:42,159
attracts the best of the best that want to align

596
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,840
with the university and the faith. I know we don't

597
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,599
have a paid clergy. I'm not saying pay the clergy.

598
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,760
I'm saying pay the individuals that are getting paid to teach,

599
00:34:55,639 --> 00:34:58,320
to coach, and pay them a fair market rate that

600
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,639
keeps in there. I'm not saying you have to pay

601
00:35:00,679 --> 00:35:03,559
the highest I'm saying you should pay a fair market rate.

602
00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:06,840
I think that's being fair and honest with your in

603
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,280
your dealings with your fellow man.

604
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,679
Speaker 3: I really think that's it's an important element.

605
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: For too long, we have taken this approach of being

606
00:35:18,119 --> 00:35:25,480
so aggressively fiscally, you know, stingy, that we've turned off

607
00:35:25,519 --> 00:35:26,320
a lot of people.

608
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 3: Like It pains me.

609
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 2: To know that Lavelle Edwards was making maybe one hundred

610
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,639
thousand dollars in his final year as head coach of

611
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,599
Brigham Young University. We all know that money isn't happy

612
00:35:40,679 --> 00:35:43,360
this month. Money just brings comfort. You know, there's there's

613
00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:46,360
once your necessities are met. The data shows, you know,

614
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,239
households that make upwards of like seventy five thousand dollars

615
00:35:49,519 --> 00:35:52,599
as a household. Anything more than that is just superfluous.

616
00:35:52,639 --> 00:35:54,320
It doesn't really matter. It's just excess.

617
00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 3: It doesn't make you any happier because your needs are met.

618
00:35:58,639 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: But that being said, you shouldn't justify underpaying people for

619
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,639
the amount of work allocated and the fair the.

620
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 3: By the sweat of their brow.

621
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 2: They're they're doing the work, and they're being successful in

622
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,400
bringing positive.

623
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: Fruits to the institution of the Faith.

624
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,119
Speaker 2: You should be paying a fair market rate there, and

625
00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:26,360
you shouldn't be able to justify underpaying them just because

626
00:36:27,039 --> 00:36:27,719
you're trying.

627
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 3: To save money, just because oh we can't.

628
00:36:30,639 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: We don't want to have this appearance. We're so ineborated

629
00:36:35,079 --> 00:36:40,159
with the appearance of indulging in any sort of like

630
00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:43,920
filthy lucre transactional relationship.

631
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is not that way.

632
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,119
Speaker 2: Like you have a great brand ambassador that is loved

633
00:36:49,199 --> 00:36:53,960
and beloved by Dion Sanders and Scott Frost, Enjoy McGuire.

634
00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:57,800
They all go out of their way to say positive

635
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:03,119
things and speak glowingly kindly to the man. We gotta

636
00:37:03,199 --> 00:37:09,199
retain Kialani, guys, please, we got to. And maybe there's

637
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,280
like a fear, you know, if we don't retain him,

638
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,320
Maybe there's a fear that he's just grown grown too popular,

639
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,599
too powerful, too influential, you know what I mean. Like,

640
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:27,199
is there that fear, Like I don't know, Like I wonder,

641
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,679
I wonder if there's that like anxiety of like, man,

642
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:36,440
he's so popular, is he completely aligned with the mission

643
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,360
of the way, Is he completely aligned with the church.

644
00:37:39,559 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 3: Are we putting him out in front of our faith,

645
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,760
in our in our in our in our.

646
00:37:45,039 --> 00:37:48,679
Speaker 2: Educational system in a way that compromises, Like there's this

647
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,519
fear that he's got too much power and he's gonna

648
00:37:52,559 --> 00:37:55,440
exercise on righteous dominion or somebody like I haven't seen

649
00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:00,440
the science. I haven't, so I mean I hope, I

650
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,440
hope figures crossed. We retain them because Penn State has

651
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,960
got them in this crosshairs, including his staff.

652
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,039
Speaker 3: A robust offering.

653
00:38:11,679 --> 00:38:16,119
Speaker 2: To his his his support staff, and his coaching staff.

654
00:38:16,199 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 3: That's what Penn State's offering.

655
00:38:19,039 --> 00:38:21,079
Speaker 2: They're going all in on Colladi right now, guys, just

656
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:24,760
so you know, and some believe it's a done deal.

657
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,039
I don't think anything's been signed yet, but maybe there

658
00:38:29,039 --> 00:38:34,880
has been an agree, an agreement in principle, an agreement

659
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:43,440
in principle that if by you can't be competitive and

660
00:38:43,519 --> 00:38:45,920
be fair, that he's gonna go to Penn State.

661
00:38:47,079 --> 00:38:48,119
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the sound.

and I speak for Brett and and Uh and Joey

673
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,119
when I say to how amazing it is that we

674
00:39:31,159 --> 00:39:34,719
have amazing coverage from everybody involved in the media. And

675
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,159
then I also can speak for Joey because Joey and

676
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:40,000
I've had you know, if you want me at my best,

677
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:41,000
Joey understands this.

678
00:39:41,199 --> 00:39:42,639
Speaker 4: It's it's usually when we're eating.

679
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 9: So we've had many opportunities to break bread together and

680
00:39:46,559 --> 00:39:49,559
to talk, mostly because I've been really interested in him

681
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:51,360
as a leader and as a as a just a

682
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,119
person all around. I love some of the things that

683
00:39:54,119 --> 00:39:56,719
he's been able to share with me about culture, and

684
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,000
I see what they do in their in their with

685
00:39:59,079 --> 00:40:01,880
their team, their progra He as a leader has been

686
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,760
amazing with that with a team culture. I'm really impressed

687
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,320
with their team, just not just the way that they

688
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,920
play the game. Obviously, we went out there and played

689
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,079
in the game in Lubbock. Great atmosphere, great environment. Uh,

690
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,000
not too friendly for us, but it was. It was

691
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,360
a really cool experience. And and and we did not

692
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,599
show up at our best. A lot of that had

693
00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:24,239
to do with Texas Tech. Texas Tech is a complete

694
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,480
team with a great coach, great coaching staff, and uh,

695
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,840
all three phases, they played amazing football. I think they're best,

696
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,719
the best team in the country, you know. And so

697
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,960
when you look at it that way, we've got our

698
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,639
work cutout for us. We're looking forward to the matchup.

699
00:40:38,039 --> 00:40:40,559
In fact, after the game. Uh, if you want to

700
00:40:40,599 --> 00:40:43,960
talk about manifesting when when when when? Well, first of all,

701
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:46,119
go back to our dinner. When Joey and I had dinner,

702
00:40:46,159 --> 00:40:49,039
we talked about this. Joey, you remember that we talked

703
00:40:49,039 --> 00:40:52,920
about playing each other in the championship game. We manifested

704
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,679
it and and now here we are. It's amazing they

705
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,360
to do it against a great person and a great friend.

706
00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:01,960
But then also his team is a reflection of him

707
00:41:02,119 --> 00:41:05,519
and the sportsmanship and the class that they have. After

708
00:41:05,559 --> 00:41:08,320
the game, we're shaking hands. Half of the players were

709
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,400
saying we'll see you guys in a few weeks, like

710
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,519
they basically respected us enough to know that we're going

711
00:41:14,599 --> 00:41:17,000
to get back at this game. And it was really

712
00:41:17,039 --> 00:41:21,039
cool that that, you know, that interaction for our guys

713
00:41:21,079 --> 00:41:23,159
to you know, go out and play three games and

714
00:41:23,159 --> 00:41:25,440
get ready to get back into this and have another

715
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,719
shot at it. An amazing team and so we're we're

716
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,840
looking forward to being at our best because it's required

717
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,800
of us when playing the best team in the nation

718
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,360
and that's Texas Tech. And so as we go through this,

719
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,920
we're looking forward to the matchup, looking forward to the

720
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,119
game altogether. You know, I'm not much of a campaign

721
00:41:42,159 --> 00:41:45,119
guy for us during the season, but after the season

722
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,960
and looking at it, at everything, I do believe that

723
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,599
what would Commissioner your mark and what Joey Maguire said,

724
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:55,559
that we are a playoff contending team and so looking

725
00:41:55,559 --> 00:41:58,199
forward to the matchup. And I'm looking forward to us

726
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,440
both teams representing the Big twelve of in this playoff

727
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:02,880
and and and doing it the right way. But I

728
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,280
do know we have some work to do and some

729
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,840
improvement to get to it. And seeing the film and

730
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,360
Texas Tech making that happen. That's gonna be key. And

731
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,639
to end my my my comments, I just want to

732
00:42:13,679 --> 00:42:16,400
say that being in the Big twelve has been amazing

733
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,239
for our fan base and for all of Kugarnation, for

734
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,440
our team being in all the different venues. We enjoyed

735
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,760
the partnership in the Big Twelve, connecting with all the

736
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,719
coaches and seeing all the places that we need to

737
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,559
play different venues. It's been amazing. Thank you for being

738
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:33,960
kind to us, and thank you for the leadership that

739
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,280
we see from our commissioner. Looking forward to it and

740
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:37,960
looking forward to an amazing game this weekend.

741
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:41,199
Speaker 3: Thank you.

742
00:42:41,199 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 2: So I once to get you know, kilte uh manifesting this.

743
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,079
They talked about manifesting it, and I love the positive

744
00:42:49,079 --> 00:42:51,960
outlook and mindset that Kilanie has always had uh and

745
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,679
and I expect him to continue to be that way

746
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,239
going forward, even if he has to leave his dream job.

747
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:03,440
I think that's the last thing Kilani wants. That's the

748
00:43:03,559 --> 00:43:07,079
last thing Kilani Satake wants to do. You think Kilani

749
00:43:07,159 --> 00:43:11,599
wants to leave BYU? You think really, after all this time,

750
00:43:11,639 --> 00:43:15,320
ten years, you've interacted with him Kugarnation, You've listened to him.

751
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,199
You think after all of this, that he really wants

752
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,119
to go to Penn State, a place that he has

753
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:31,639
no connection to, no roots, no family, right, and you

754
00:43:31,679 --> 00:43:35,239
want to go there and compete a place where he

755
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,719
doesn't have any inroads and as far as recruiting is concerned,

756
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,920
Kilani may be the only Polynesian you know at that school.

757
00:43:43,199 --> 00:43:44,400
I mean, I don't know, I don't know how many

758
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,039
Politesians are there, So maybe I'm short sided to hear

759
00:43:47,199 --> 00:43:48,360
I don't have the data in front of me.

760
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 3: But like, like I just I don't think he wants

761
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:53,480
to go there.

762
00:43:56,159 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 2: He may be forced to go there to a degree,

763
00:43:59,159 --> 00:44:02,320
it's either one or two. Like you to believe that

764
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,320
he is just looking for like generational money and investment

765
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,960
for himself, you know, and it's just like this selfish

766
00:44:09,039 --> 00:44:13,559
desire or kind of byu is you know at a

767
00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:16,960
crossroads is like you know, they're willing to invest in basketball,

768
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,519
but they're not willing to invest in football. They're not

769
00:44:20,559 --> 00:44:24,920
willing to like be equivalent in symbiotic and congruent with

770
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,000
their investment with basketball, which would mean football does not

771
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:28,760
drive the ship.

772
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 3: It's actually basketball that drives the ship.

773
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 2: Ronald Am I off base here like to to point

774
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,840
out the fact that we've taken care of k Y

775
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,639
and the basketball team and the nil on basketball before

776
00:44:45,639 --> 00:44:48,079
we've taken care of football. Am I off base by

777
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:48,800
pointing this out?

778
00:44:49,679 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 5: No? I mean I said this first been when Kevin

779
00:44:52,039 --> 00:44:55,800
Younger officially got hired, and I wasn't trying to spark anything.

780
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,239
I know certain person and I'll leave names that got

781
00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,800
mad at me because they felt like I was bidding

782
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,079
the against each other. And I said, you can't give

783
00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:05,280
all this attention to Kevin young And granted the pedigree

784
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,599
and being in an NBA valid is there. But when

785
00:45:07,679 --> 00:45:09,920
Kalani has been here for a while and you know

786
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,800
has cut his teeth, Grid Grid did everything he needed to,

787
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,719
So you're not off base with it? Like Kilanie deserves this,

788
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,519
He deserves to have a bigger pay raise, been his

789
00:45:18,559 --> 00:45:20,480
staff deserves to be paid, all of them.

790
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 4: TJ. Woods like, Hey, let me break it down. Let

791
00:45:22,039 --> 00:45:24,239
me give you my perspective. Is LJ. Martin not gonna

792
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:25,719
be a third to fifth round pick this year? I

793
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:26,559
believe he is.

794
00:45:26,559 --> 00:45:28,039
Speaker 5: Is Jack Kelly not gonna be a third to fifth

795
00:45:28,119 --> 00:45:30,320
round pick. I believe he is is Isaiah Glasker not

796
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:31,599
gonna be a third to fifth round pick.

797
00:45:31,599 --> 00:45:32,199
Speaker 4: I believe he is.

798
00:45:32,119 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 5: Is Keanutna Vasa not projected to be a first or

799
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,480
second round pick.

800
00:45:35,639 --> 00:45:36,039
Speaker 4: He is.

801
00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:39,679
Speaker 5: Like these are things that Kalani been has done like

802
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,239
he is. He's brought these players and his staff has

803
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,400
developed these guys that have gone out. They produced. Jay

804
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,039
Hill is one of the best defensive coordinators in the country.

805
00:45:47,079 --> 00:45:49,079
Like that's why these reports of Penn State they want

806
00:45:49,119 --> 00:45:51,320
him to ay Rod, You've been declared everybody he was

807
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,800
gonna earn his money with the true freshman quarterback eleven

808
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,599
and one, Like what else do you want? So, yeah,

809
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,039
they deserve to have the same I'm gonna be honest.

810
00:45:58,159 --> 00:46:00,519
Deserve to be paid the same. If you see two

811
00:46:00,559 --> 00:46:04,159
basketball coaches are promoted in their second after one year

812
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,079
to associate head coach. Yes, guess what a Rod and

813
00:46:07,199 --> 00:46:09,119
j Hill deserve a payer is. They deserve to be paid.

814
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,960
They deserve a robust nil landscape just like that. They

815
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,079
deserve to be at a go get players paid. I mean, look, Ben,

816
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,679
we are days away from arguably having one of the

817
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,519
highest recruits at quarterback and you're telling me that they

818
00:46:20,519 --> 00:46:23,480
can't have unlimited ress. No football should for sure have

819
00:46:23,559 --> 00:46:26,760
unlimited resources, especially if Brian has been on record saying

820
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,320
football drives the ship. I was there for that press conference,

821
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,679
you were there. There's no way that k Why can

822
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,039
have this and Kalanie can, especially for the fact that

823
00:46:34,119 --> 00:46:36,320
Klanie's been here longer and he's proven I mean, how

824
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,119
many double digit win seasons in the last six years,

825
00:46:39,159 --> 00:46:40,679
Like that's all I have to say about that. So

826
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,280
you're on Park Ben, I think you're accurate.

827
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's man, I can't believe I'm having this conversation.

828
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 3: I hate this.

829
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,559
