You said a lot there. 57 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.840 You talk about like what people from a lot of 58 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.680 different eras are feeling about the hire of different coaches 59 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.319 and how this new era of Michigan State, not only 60 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.519 Misigan State, but athletics college athletics as a whole are moving, 61 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.279 you know, with nil transfer portal, the way that you know, 62 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.720 people are looking at how to be forward thinking. You know, 63 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.399 this is a different, different era of college athletics, you know. 64 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.279 And you know, Alan Haller, for all the things that 65 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.480 he was able to accomplish, hiring a lot of great coaches, 66 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.000 doing a lot of great things and getting projects implemented 67 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:45.720 at Michigan State to further advance sparring athletics, still wasn't 68 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.560 enough for what is needed at Michigan State. You know, 69 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.879 there's a lot of people around college athletics that are 70 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.680 a little confused, you know right now, you know, you see, 71 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.800 you know, what's going on around the country. Soever you 72 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.879 see it, you definitely see it. Having a son at Stanford, 73 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.439 another one at Imgenus being highly recruited, and you know, 74 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:14.439 you have the three D view if you will, to 75 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.199 be able to see what other schools besides the school 76 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:22.759 that you played for and love are doing now as 77 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.800 I am being able to see that, you know, I 78 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.079 have a son who went to University of Michigan, you know, 79 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.040 over the last you know, a few months and signed 80 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.920 with them, So I'm able to see things that you know, 81 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.600 the typical you know, both of us are able to 82 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.680 see things that the typical fan aren't able to see. 83 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:46.160 And what you're seeing at Michigan State is not has 84 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.079 not been on par with what we're seeing other places. 85 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.639 Make no mistake about it. 86 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.040 Michigan State is not a place that you and I 87 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.160 can divorce because we played for we bleed Green, We 88 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.079 love Michigan State. It's not something that we're saying, hey, 89 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.879 we're trying to throw Michigan Statement in the trash. If 90 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:07.800 you can't divorce your mama, right couldn't do it. I 91 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:13.560 can't divorce mind. So the difference is when there's leadership, 92 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:18.759 there's a vacuum, there's a lack of forward thinking. Then 93 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.120 you know, you're forced to be in situations such as 94 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:28.519 this where we're all looking and reeling for answers, and 95 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.120 you know, I'll tell you, man, like this is a 96 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.560 tough day. It's a tough day all the way around. 97 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.720 You know, big revenue sports. We got Brad Gray right here, 98 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.160 the big revenue sport. Football has got to get better today. 99 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.199 That takes a dollar more. So far MSU hasn't shown 100 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.959 the willingness. Maybe that changes. Now, go ahead, it's well. 101 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.560 Hey, it's funny, funny, big great someone. I was just 102 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.560 gonna say, Straightca, you made a hell of a point. 103 00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:00.439 What you always do? Someone today? Once again, everybody down 104 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.000 here at the auction for my man grig Alright, we're here. 105 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:09.319 Someone said that Allen did a good job for us, 106 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:15.000 helping the other small sports come alive on campus. But 107 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.720 for some reason, with football, it wasn't a priority to 108 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.879 make football one of the tops because we'll top twenty 109 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.879 five schools straight. We've been there since ninety six, ninety seven. 110 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:31.319 You got to talk about us. You know, and and 111 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.319 someone said today just like what Gray said, he aligned 112 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.279 it with with what Big Gray just said. 113 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:40.639 He didn't focus enough. 114 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:45.399 On football and made football be like it is and 115 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:50.759 all the big coverage, a big teams campus. It was 116 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.480 the same thing what we just said, I was, that's 117 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:59.279 the red time, you know football. 118 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.000 I mean, if you lack a focus of football, I 119 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:04.199 think that's a major mistake. 120 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:05.639 That's clear. 121 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.680 Michigan State or no matter what school is, if you're 122 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.360 in the Power for conferences, that's Big ten, that's SEC, 123 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:17.399 that's Big twelve, that's a CEC. Okay, if you're in 124 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:22.199 those conferences, you know that the big revenue generator is football. 125 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.839 You know, there's nowhere else that has the TV viewership, 126 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:27.959 There's nowhere else that has the amount of people that 127 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.200 pack stadiums for each game. So football should be careabout. 128 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.320 You know, there's other conferences that's not that's not the case. 129 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.799 You know, the Big East and places like that where 130 00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.279 they don't have to share. Where they're looking forward to 131 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.720 this you know, uh House settlement where they're going to 132 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.320 be roughly twenty and a half million dollars that you know, 133 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:53.039 university is going to be able to share amongst different sports. 134 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.279 You know, places that do not have football may thrive 135 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.679 in the basketball round because they'll be able to take 136 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:01.960 the line, share that money and put it in basketball. 137 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.840 But that being aside, what we have been saying right 138 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.519 here on this show that this is spared I m 139 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:09.759 issue swear. 140 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:11.000 Let's talk about it.

Yeah, yeah, there's no doubt about it. I think that. 205 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.320 You know, when you look at Michigan State recruiting in 206 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:17.960 the NIL and portal shopping, both in basketball and football, 207 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:24.320 there's there's this tension. It seems to be, you know, 208 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:29.559 the coaches feel hamstrung, handcuffed something. It's not Hey, let's 209 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:31.799 just go out here and just make offers and whatever 210 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:33.759 we want to do, we're gonna get it done.

And that's 213 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.399 it's not the game that we're playing right now in 214 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.200 East Lancy, you know, right or wrong, it's not. And uh, 215 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.159 in order to be competitive on a level where you're 216 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.919 trying to compete for championships today, unfortunately, that's where that's 217 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:52.320 where you need to be wherever. I mean, you can't 218 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:57.399 just you know, look, Jonathan Smith and Tom Izzo are 219 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.559 both excellent coaches. 220 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:00.960 On the exces and TH's. 221 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.639 But you just named it just now when you said, 222 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:08.840 but you can't win championships without the Jimmy's and Jones, 223 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.679 and by that we need to mean you need the 224 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.279 players you need to have the players.
