Speaker 1: The sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM ninety
Speaker 1: six to nine. In the games, Mike the Bulldog Beyond
Speaker 1: You Jr. R.
Speaker 2: Bulldog Sports Page brought you by Copping and Lend Injury Attorneys.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike Bianchi there from the luxury condo somewhere
Speaker 2: deep in the bows of Metro West.
Speaker 3: Good morning, gentlemen. How are you today?
Speaker 2: Doing great? Wonderful?
Speaker 3: You uh doing better than Miami Dolphins fans. It was
Speaker 3: official yesterday. Tua has been placed on injured reserve because
Speaker 3: of the concussion issue. He suffered that concussion obviously a
Speaker 3: week ago Thursday night and that loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 3: Uh per NFL rules. He's on. You know, he's gonna
Speaker 3: have to miss at least four games. There's no timetable
Speaker 3: for how long he's going to be out. The Dolphins
Speaker 3: have signed the back another quarterback, Tyler Huntley, from the
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens practice squad. Skuyler Thompson, the third year QB.
Speaker 3: He's gonna art Sunday's game against Seattle and now Tula,
Speaker 3: you know, it's unclear when he's going to be back.
Speaker 3: And I said this when when Tua went down, I
Speaker 3: fear that the Dolphins are gonna go nowhere this season.
Speaker 3: I don't think Skyler Thompson is going to take them anywhere.
Speaker 3: We don't know when Toula is gonna get back. Now,
Speaker 3: obviously they still have a talented roster. But wow, bad
Speaker 3: news for the Dolphins, Lynch.
Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor, so I have no idea. You
Speaker 2: know what the extent of whatever's going on with him is,
Speaker 2: but you know, none of it really vodes well for
Speaker 2: everything you just referred to.
Speaker 3: So right, right, big news in college football. I'm not
Speaker 3: it's it's an ingenious idea by Danny White, the athletic
Speaker 3: director at Tennessee, But I don't like it. I hate it.
Speaker 3: This is believed to be the first arrangement of its kind.
Speaker 3: Tennessee fans will be charged a ten percent quote talent
Speaker 3: fee on tickets to help pay athletes as part of
Speaker 3: the new revenue sharing plan that's set to begin next season.
Speaker 3: The university shared the news with an email yesterday to
Speaker 3: their season ticket holders, a big video from Danny White
Speaker 3: telling them, Hey, this talent fee's gonna help us dominate
Speaker 3: college football.
Speaker 2: I hate this.
Speaker 3: I hate the fact that right first of all, nil, Hey,
Speaker 3: let's have the boosters and fans pay for pay for
Speaker 3: the players. Now they're having the season ticket holders pay
Speaker 3: for the players. Why don't they use some of this
Speaker 3: TV money and all of this wasted money that they
Speaker 3: use on buying coaching, buying out coaches to pay the
Speaker 3: players instead of sticking it to the fans.
Speaker 1: My season ticket would be burnt right in front of
Speaker 1: a video camera and sent to Danny White because I'm
Speaker 1: telling and that dude's cool, he was a UCF and
Speaker 1: all that.
Speaker 3: But reality is, man.
Speaker 1: You you it's hard to get well, not as much
Speaker 1: at Tennessee, but kids to stay at the stadium, and
Speaker 1: and people to stay at the stadium for certain games.
Speaker 2: Goodbye? Why uh why even tout this? Why not just
Speaker 2: raise the prices? Interesting? You know, just raise the prices?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Be ten is a pretty big price price of everything
Speaker 2: is going up. I mean, you know it's not. I
Speaker 2: guess I'm not advocating for a price increase. I'm just
Speaker 2: saying I think it's going to draw I wanted anger. Yeah,
Speaker 2: people conditioned to expect the price of everything to go up,
Speaker 2: I guess, is my point?
Speaker 3: Well, I I guess there has to be some accounting
Speaker 3: as to where this money is going. So maybe that's
Speaker 3: why they announced it. But but does anybody do you
Speaker 3: doubt that every school is going to start doing this? Now?
Speaker 2: Why not just double the price of the hot dogs
Speaker 2: at the concession stand while you're out and put it
Speaker 2: towards that fund as well?
Speaker 4: Tell you what if, if if if u c F
Speaker 4: does it, not not accusing them that they would. I'm
Speaker 4: not going to another game just for the just for
Speaker 4: the pat What do you always call it about the
Speaker 4: shop fee at a garage?
Speaker 2: The principle, the principle of it.
Speaker 3: I'm not going.
Speaker 2: No, I'm trying. I'm getting all back to that. I mean,
Speaker 2: have whatever fees you want. Just here's the price, just taco.
Speaker 2: Or would you pull your large donations?
Speaker 1: Oh my booster money's out if that was the case. Again, again,
Speaker 1: this is Tennessee, not UCF.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 3: What level of donor are you taker?
Speaker 2: I'm the hey bulldog. Just to be clear here, is
Speaker 2: this just on season tickets or is this on individual this?
Speaker 3: Okay, this is as and it's on all sports as well.
Speaker 3: All right, So if the you know, the softball, you
Speaker 3: know fans have to you know, pay it extra ten
Speaker 3: percent for the softball players in IL.
Speaker 1: Oh. My god, dude, this is getting surreal. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: my daughter goes to UF. Not like I'm a UF
Speaker 1: fan by any means no offense anybody there or not there.
Speaker 1: But if they do that there, I'll never go to
Speaker 1: another game. I mean, it could be my excuse. I'll
Speaker 1: go to the tailgate now speak.
Speaker 3: Speaking of all this, Georgia, the state legislature in Georgia, Uh,
Speaker 3: they passed a law that Georgia can all the colleges
Speaker 3: in Georgia, but mainly the Georgia Bulldogs. That that that
Speaker 3: Georgia can now immediately begin paying their athletes directly, and
Speaker 3: the n c Double A can't do anything about it
Speaker 3: in the state of Georgia. So it's unbelievable. College football
Speaker 3: is just again the wild wild West. There's no legislation.
Speaker 3: The n c Double A can't do anything because the
Speaker 3: politicians in each of these separate states said, hell, no,
Speaker 3: can't do that here, can't have any rules in our state.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. Hey at this point, why even bother within
Speaker 2: NC Double A.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm just I'm just saying about the NCAA has
Speaker 3: no power. Right, they have no power to do anything.
Speaker 3: They try to do, they either get sued or the
Speaker 3: politicians in the separate states overrule them. I'll go one.
Speaker 2: I'll go one further than eliminating that.
Speaker 1: How about if we just eliminate college football and throw
Speaker 1: them all right into the baby pro leagues. And well,
Speaker 1: that's what we're doing. We're paying them like that. And
Speaker 1: how many of those of the of the players actually
Speaker 1: give a rats ass about school any Oh, I don't
Speaker 1: hear anything.
Speaker 3: It's right into the pros. Good, go ahead, boys thinking
Speaker 3: about you're talking about our student athletes your taco ball.
Speaker 2: Damn straight.
Speaker 3: I am the ones that don't really care.
Speaker 2: And hey, there's an Orlando City match tonight, bulldog hut.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: Orlando City needs to stay hot, baby. They are in
Speaker 3: fifth spot in the standings now getting ready for the playoffs,
Speaker 3: so hopefully they can keep it going tonight. What time
Speaker 3: is that game?
Speaker 4: Uh?
