Speaker 1: Seven oh five here Kentucky and this morning News on
Speaker 1: News Radio eight forty whas Nick coffee with you. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for hanging out with us. We've got
Speaker 1: Mayor Greenberg set to join us coming up here at
Speaker 1: eight forty five. He'll be sharing some special news with us.
Speaker 1: And it's news that if you're a Louisville Cardinal fan,
Speaker 1: you can take it however you want. I can't predict
Speaker 1: how anybody's gonna feel. I assume that it's going to
Speaker 1: be some news that you're excited about. But maybe I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: But either way, I think you'll want to hear it.
Speaker 1: So again, at eight forty five, Mayor Greenberg going to
Speaker 1: join us. He's currently in Omaha. He was set to
Speaker 1: be in studio to discuss this when we had talked
Speaker 1: about it a few weeks back. But obviously the trip
Speaker 1: to Omaha that has been a long well, you don't
Speaker 1: really know if you ever gonna get to Omaha. And
Speaker 1: they're there, and now they're you know, now that they've
Speaker 1: got a chance to win and keep this thing going.
Speaker 1: They play at two o'clock Eastern. It'll be one o'clock
Speaker 1: Central today. So again may Greenberg going to join us
Speaker 1: about about eight forty five, if you are just now
Speaker 1: getting your day started. We did lead with what is
Speaker 1: a continued situation, and that is what we're learning about
Speaker 1: the shooter in the the murder that took place on Saturday,
Speaker 1: early early morning in Minnesota. Vance Bolter is the suspect,
Speaker 1: but he's now facing federal charges as well. Here and
Speaker 1: we'll talk with Riy O'Neil coming up a little bit
Speaker 1: later on get the latest on that. Also. This is
Speaker 1: certainly a big piece of news that I imagine, and
Speaker 1: I don't think this was something that that developed over night,
Speaker 1: so you probably were aware, but we'll find out more today.
Speaker 1: As far as Donald Trump his plans when it comes
Speaker 1: to dealing with the the I mean, let's just be real.
Speaker 1: The Iran, the Iran Israel situation is only getting worse.
Speaker 1: And he left early from a a he was where
Speaker 1: was he he was in? He was in Canada somewhere
Speaker 1: was it Alberta? Yeah, So he left the second day
Speaker 1: of the G seven summit in Alberta, and it's it's
Speaker 1: due to the ongoing situation. And we'll we'll get we'll
Speaker 1: get he We'll keep you up to date as best
Speaker 1: we can when it comes to that again. Roy O'Neil
Speaker 1: going to join us coming up here at about about
Speaker 1: eight thirty, so we'll get you updated on that. Something
Speaker 1: else we talked about earlier as the crash that took
Speaker 1: place on Friday, right after we wrapped up the show,
Speaker 1: where the semi was on fire and somehow, some way,
Speaker 1: this driver he was able to get out of the
Speaker 1: cab before it completely went up in flames and became
Speaker 1: just a sight to see, but not for good reason,
Speaker 1: a very scary situation almost doesn't seem real. Again, I
Speaker 1: said this yesterday, I'll say it again. I can continue
Speaker 1: to see pictures and videos that surface of those that
Speaker 1: were near this accident as everything unfolded, and it is
Speaker 1: just it is it is wild to see. That's putting
Speaker 1: it lightly. But now we know who it was that
Speaker 1: was in the vehicle and he did survive, which is
Speaker 1: a miracle. But he's not well. This gentleman is going
Speaker 1: to have a long road to recovery the injuries that
Speaker 1: he currently has. He's got a broken ankle, broken leg
Speaker 1: and foot, so no life threatening injuries. But when you
Speaker 1: jump twenty feet from the cab, obviously you can have
Speaker 1: those type of injuries, so hoping he has a speedy recovery. Currently,
Speaker 1: the cause of this crash is still an investigation, but
Speaker 1: with it being the third semi incident in the area
Speaker 1: in a month, obviously safety concerns. That's been a big
Speaker 1: talking point and something that Scott brought up yesterday when
Speaker 1: we were talking about this is it's not an accusation.
Speaker 1: It's just thinking, Okay, maybe there is a real demand
Speaker 1: here for truck drivers and maybe they're not going through
Speaker 1: the same type of training they once did just because
Speaker 1: they're being rushed through it. And on our talkback feature,
Speaker 1: which again if you guys listen to the show on
Speaker 1: the Aheart Radio app, just you should know that you
Speaker 1: can interact with us and share your thoughts on certain
Speaker 1: things by just clicking that microphone button on the app
Speaker 1: and then you'll be able to I think it's thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: It gives you to share whatever you want. But we
Speaker 1: had a truck driver that heard that conversation we were
Speaker 1: having yesterday and wanted to share this.
Speaker 2: I'm a truck driver here. I went to CDL school
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen and instructors told us we're not here
Speaker 2: to teach you how to drive. We're here to teach
Speaker 2: you how to pass the test. And I think the
Speaker 2: real problem lies with these trucking companies that hire new drivers.
Speaker 2: They only spend a week or two behind the wheel
Speaker 2: with a trainer, and they turn them loose. I think
Speaker 2: companies need to spend more time with new drivers to
Speaker 2: get them ready to be on the road on their own. Thanks.
Speaker 3: I just love that talkback feature because our audience are
Speaker 3: some of the best people, the most qualified to answer
Speaker 3: some of these questions, and instead of waiting to try
Speaker 3: to call the station, now we get listeners like this
Speaker 3: that respond yeah.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this is I don't know
Speaker 1: if are there's data that shows that this is an
Speaker 1: issue everywhere as far as newer truck drivers not getting
Speaker 1: the proper training and there being more accidents with semis
Speaker 1: because of that. I don't know if that data exists,
Speaker 1: but certainly, when you have as many accidents around here
Speaker 1: as we've had with semis, especially in that area, I
Speaker 1: think more than anything. And again, I don't know this
Speaker 1: for certain, but I just think it's just a crazy coincidence.
Speaker 1: But you can't just run with that and just assume, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, nothing to see here, just a random coincidence. Obviously,
Speaker 1: they're going to look into whatever they can to make
Speaker 1: it sure everybody, to make sure everybody is safe, especially
Speaker 1: those big eighteen wheelers making their way in those areas
Speaker 1: where there's just been more collisions than you would expect.
Speaker 3: I've seen I've seen, you know, driving along the highway.
Speaker 3: I see more ads from attorneys looking for cases involving
Speaker 3: semis too. So there's there's and.
Speaker 1: They see that. I see that as a big payday.
Speaker 1: Yeah they do.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think to your point, and again, if
Speaker 3: you use the talk back feature, you know, truckers that
Speaker 3: are out there are best resource for this because they know,
Speaker 3: like this gentleman seemed well verse, seemed to know exactly
Speaker 3: what he was talking about. So it's it's a shame.
Speaker 3: Maybe this changes things. I'd be interested to see how
Speaker 3: other communities are dealing with this as.
Speaker 1: Well, or if they're dealing with it at all. You
Speaker 1: just don't know. Yeah, all right, let's get an update
Speaker 1: on traffic and weather right here on news radio eight
Speaker 1: forty whas. It is seven seventeen here Kentucky, and it's
Speaker 1: Morning News with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight forty
Speaker 1: whas I know that many of you listening have. In fact,
Speaker 1: I find it impossible to think that there's anybody listening
Speaker 1: that hasn't gone to a grocery store, a convenience store,
Speaker 1: a retail store, purchased something online, or paid the bill
Speaker 1: at a fast food restaurant and thought to yourself, Wow,
Speaker 1: when did this get so expensive? Well, it's a real thing.
Speaker 1: And we've got a study that tells us of all
Speaker 1: the fast food places that of course increase prices like
Speaker 1: everybody else, which one is the cheapest fast food chain
Speaker 1: in America. This is a study according to Cashiano. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm saying that correctly, but they've got
Speaker 1: I guess a portion of their outlet is eat this
Speaker 1: not that it studies fast food trends and whatnot, and
Speaker 1: they analyze fifty four menu items across six categories from
Speaker 1: nine major US as fast food chains to find the
Speaker 1: best value and the the restaurant that takes the crown
Speaker 1: as far as far as being the cheapest overall with
Speaker 1: the most affordable items. Is a surprise to me. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's not to you guys, but it's Taco Bell.
Speaker 3: Makes sense, Okay, I can see that it's not who
Speaker 3: I would have guessed.
Speaker 1: See, I just think it all comes down to what
Speaker 1: you get, Yeah, because you can. You can go to
Speaker 1: Taco Bell and get enough food to where when you
Speaker 1: look at the price, I mean, it's probably not what
Speaker 1: you paid years ago, because again, prices go up everywhere,
Speaker 1: but you end up probably getting more for your buck
Speaker 1: than elsewhere. Like just I can go to Taco Bell
Speaker 1: and just get a few tacos and it's not as
Speaker 1: cheap as it once was. But that's actually a lot
Speaker 1: of food. So therefore, you know, I get it from
Speaker 1: that aspect. But I when I go to Taco Bell,
Speaker 1: I get a Chicken Quesadia, I get a you know,
Speaker 1: if they have it, I get the Kee so rito.
Speaker 1: If it's on the it's on the menu at the time.
Speaker 1: And now those are items that you know, two of
Speaker 1: those together, I'm looking at just easily over ten bucks,
Speaker 1: and that doesn't feel like it's cheap at all to me.
Speaker 3: You remember the five dollars value meals they had, and
Speaker 3: I think that kind of said the gold standard, and
Speaker 3: I guess that's what I kind of I've eaten fast
Speaker 3: food in a while, but that's kind of where my
Speaker 3: mind defaults to.
Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you this is an say I
Speaker 1: can tell you this gut is as somebody who does
Speaker 1: not eat much fast food, like yourself, they still call
Speaker 1: it a value meal. It ain't much of a value
Speaker 1: in most places. It's like you think this call anything
Speaker 1: a sale and say that it's a sale, and they
Speaker 1: can they can doctor it whatever way they want to
Speaker 1: let you, to try to manipulate you that you're saving
Speaker 1: big money because you know, Wendy's is a close second,
Speaker 1: and I haven't had Wendy's in a long time and
Speaker 1: have Guess's being second, right, Burger King rounds out the
Speaker 1: top three, and then uh Popeyes is the winner when
Speaker 1: it comes to just chicken places. So uh yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: To me right now, the only place that I can
Speaker 1: think of that I just know is going to be
Speaker 1: expensive because this was this was always the case, even
Speaker 1: long before we had prices skyrocketing like they have in
Speaker 1: recent years. But Arby's, to me, it's just always been,
Speaker 1: you know, I need to finance my meal for my
Speaker 1: family because it's you know, can get can I get
Speaker 1: you know interest here if I pay you back in
Speaker 1: a week. Arby's, your roast beef is good, But man,
Speaker 1: it's expensive.
Speaker 3: Remember the twenty nine cent Hamburg's at McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Long before my time. Can we go back to that time, Scot, Right,
Speaker 1: let's do that. That's that's good stuff there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So fast food is convenient, but it's to me and
Speaker 1: everybody's perception of what is affordable and what is not
Speaker 1: as different depending upon your situation. But for me, I
Speaker 1: don't think you can really save a whole. I mean
Speaker 1: I think you can. Actually, I think you can pay.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Everybody's different, but I'll just say this,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that cheap in the grand scheme
Speaker 1: of things. Anymore convenient, but not cheap. All right, We've
Speaker 1: got another update of traffick and weather coming your way,
Speaker 1: and another update in sports with Scott FitzGeralds. So stick around.
Speaker 1: It's Kentucky and it's Morning News with Nick Coffee on
Speaker 1: news Radio eight forty whas. Thank you, John. It is
Speaker 1: seven thirty five here at Kentucky and as morning News.
Speaker 1: Thank you for hanging out with us, helping you start
Speaker 1: your day. Maybe you're ending your day just wrapped up
Speaker 1: third shift, whatever it is. However you're listening, we appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Nick Coffee that's me, Scott Fitzgerald, alongside John Alden and
Speaker 1: as well John Shannon. You just heard there. So this
Speaker 1: is something that is good news. There's really no way
Speaker 1: to debate it. And I like to be able to
Speaker 1: share good news with our listeners here at Kentucky and
Speaker 1: is morning news. And it's good news for the state
Speaker 1: of Kentucky and the city of Louisville. So the Kentucky
Speaker 1: tourism has Kentucky tourism generated thirteen point eight billion here recently. Wow,
Speaker 1: And that, of course is I mean, that's I believe
Speaker 1: that's a record. Let me check. Yeah, it's a record
Speaker 1: year in tourism last year in the state of Kentucky.
Speaker 1: And as you could expect, Louisville played a big part
Speaker 1: of that. But yes, thirteen point eight billion in in
Speaker 1: economic impact. That's supporting ninety five one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: six jobs and contributing to two point nine billion in wages.
Speaker 1: Visitor spending was a big factor, as you could expect.
Speaker 1: Visitors spent nine point seven billion across sectors like lodging, food, beverage, transportation,
Speaker 1: retail and recreation. Louisville of course, salt. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know this for certain, But clearly Louisville being the
Speaker 1: biggest city within this state, you would imagine that they
Speaker 1: are usually the biggest producers when it comes to tourism
Speaker 1: revenue that is there. But nineteen million visitors in Louisville
Speaker 1: last year, they contributed four point two billion and economic
Speaker 1: impact with two point eight billion from direct visitor spending.
Speaker 1: So the city's hospitality sectors supported over twenty six thousand
Speaker 1: jobs and one billion dollars in wages. So that's good news, right,
Speaker 1: people come into Kentucky and Louisville or you know, clearly,
Speaker 1: if you're in louisvill you're in Kentucky. But there's also
Speaker 1: other areas within this state that I'm sure they've got
Speaker 1: tourism dollars that have been coming their way. But what
Speaker 1: I love to see, and I've kind of found myself
Speaker 1: nerding out on this where when we have a big event,
Speaker 1: whether it be Derby that's the biggest event we have
Speaker 1: every year here, or a convention or that a lot
Speaker 1: of people would even know is going on, I like
Speaker 1: to peruse social media to see people who are hashtagging Louisville.
Speaker 1: Rather it be Instagram, TikTok and I enjoy seeing people
Speaker 1: who are here, maybe for the first time, and they're
Speaker 1: sharing their experience and they're talking about how cool it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I feel like it comes people around here. Not
Speaker 1: to say that we live in the best place in
Speaker 1: the world. I mean I believe that I would. I
Speaker 1: would never want to live anywhere else. This has been
Speaker 1: my home forever and I don't plan on changing that.
Speaker 1: So I don't like we've got no problems, were the
Speaker 1: best ever. But I do think at times, and this
Speaker 1: probably isn't unique to Louisville. I'm sure others are the
Speaker 1: same way. That you don't realize that you should enjoy
Speaker 1: and not take and not take for granted some aspects
Speaker 1: of where you live that others think is really cool.
Speaker 3: Well, that's how I've been trying to tell my wife
Speaker 3: and daughter, who a big bourbon of ficionados, and well,
Speaker 3: you live in Louisville. Let me take you down to
Speaker 3: Heaven Hill, let me take you to Loretto, and let
Speaker 3: me take you within the Commonwealth. And I'm sure there's
Speaker 3: people in other parts of the states say hey, let's
Speaker 3: I think Louisville sometimes gets a bad rap statewide. I've
Speaker 3: talked with.
Speaker 1: Folks who you think. I would say it's a fact,
Speaker 1: but again, I can't prove that.
Speaker 3: I just yeah, but you see when you leave here
Speaker 3: on Saturdays, you know, I can see it. People walking around.
Speaker 3: You know they're in from out of town because they
Speaker 3: have the coffee cup in hand, and they're walking around.
Speaker 1: With no predetermined judgment. They're just enjoying what this city
Speaker 1: has to offer. And I love seeing that, and I wish,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the noise is as loud
Speaker 1: as it once was, but that downtown Louisville is some
Speaker 1: boarded up war zone. It's not that there's a lot
Speaker 1: of I mean again, yes, can you get potentially harmed
Speaker 1: by a criminal, Yeah you can. That can happen to
Speaker 1: you anywhere exactly. Mean, even in places that you would
Speaker 1: assume you're the most safe in this city, it can happen.
Speaker 3: I've been to parts of the Natty where you're like, oh, okay, no,
Speaker 3: we stumbled into the wrong part of town. I mean,
Speaker 3: that happens. That's any metropolitan area. Or when you look
Speaker 3: long term, you look down here. We have new Brazilian
Speaker 3: steakhouse that's downstairs. We have a couple of new restaurants,
Speaker 3: that are down there, not Brazil in Stakes. There's another
Speaker 3: new restaurant down here. There's plans for other restaurants going in.
Speaker 3: We've got over here by the Derby Gaming.
Speaker 1: Not just downtown, but I mean newlu is is a
Speaker 1: phenomenal areas. I mean, there are a lot of great
Speaker 1: places in Louisville that that I just think people should,
Speaker 1: you know, do what you want with your time and
Speaker 1: your money and all that. But I think we have
Speaker 1: more to offer as as a city when it comes
Speaker 1: to just not not necessarily just like nightlife, but just
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of stuff to do and there's
Speaker 1: a lot of I mean, I'm a nerd for downtown Louisville.
Speaker 1: I walked to meet my mom for lunch last week,
Speaker 1: and I mean there there's I feel like there's areas
Speaker 1: of downtown that have businesses that I never knew about.
Speaker 1: Anytime I go on a walk downtown, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: didn't know that was there. That's pretty cool. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure a lot of the visitors that give these these
Speaker 1: businesses money are travelers, right, People that are tourists, And
Speaker 1: that's that's that's what you want. You want people coming
Speaker 1: to your city and spending money and impacting the economy.
Speaker 1: But also I just I'll never shy away from telling people, hey,
Speaker 1: like you should maybe spend a little time looking at
Speaker 1: what all we have to do around here. I think
Speaker 1: you may be surprised that you know, this city's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1: And again to said, we don't have our own problems.
Speaker 1: We do just like everybody else.
Speaker 3: Well, and that's why I love to your point TikTok,
Speaker 3: because I interview the guys. Gucci Man reviews is what
Speaker 3: he does on TikTok, and he goes and footy reviews
Speaker 3: are real popular right now in TikTok. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of people doing them, which I'm okay with because the
Speaker 3: more the better. And he goes into places, you know,
Speaker 3: Big Nita's cheesecake factory, you know where Big Nita does that.
Speaker 3: I didn't know about that place at all. And through
Speaker 3: these I drive to different parts of the town just
Speaker 3: to see, you know what I can see it. Recently,
Speaker 3: I was over at Catholic and Richmond Center over in
Speaker 3: the West End. There's good stuff happening in the West End.
Speaker 3: You know, you got to get yourself beyond the headlines
Speaker 3: and start reading what's happening and get out and look.
Speaker 1: You know, or just go see for yourself, and I
Speaker 1: think you'll realize, oh yeah, it's it's not again. It
Speaker 1: sounds extreme, but I'm sure there are people that would
Speaker 1: would just say, O, yeah, downtown Louisville, I'm never going there.
Speaker 1: It's again a boarded up warzone. Like I've heard people
Speaker 1: say that, and it stuck out to me because that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It's not that at all, really never was, but clearly
Speaker 1: what was going on in twenty twenty. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think we've recovered from that, at least in my opinion,
Speaker 1: as far as you know what downtown is and can be.
Speaker 1: I just want more people that live here to get
Speaker 1: out and enjoy it and experience it. And hopefully, hopefully
Speaker 1: you guys will do that. Yep, I'm telling you to,
Speaker 1: so please do it. Get out all right. We've got
Speaker 1: another update of traffick and weather coming your way right
Speaker 1: here on news Radio eight forty whas. It is seven
Speaker 1: forty seven here at Kentucky, and it's morning news on
Speaker 1: news Radio eight forty whas. Don't forget. Coming up at
Speaker 1: eight forty five. Will be joined by Mayor Greenberg as
Speaker 1: he is set to share some special news. I think
Speaker 1: if you're a Louisville fan, you'll want to stick around
Speaker 1: and hear that news and again at about eight forty five,
Speaker 1: so roughly an hour away. So make sure you keep
Speaker 1: that in mind. And if you are in your vehicle
Speaker 1: and you're going to be getting out of your vehicle,
Speaker 1: you can take us with You can listen live on
Speaker 1: the Aheart Radio Apple also listen live at WHAS dot com.
Speaker 1: So we've got sports coming your way here in about
Speaker 1: eight minutes with Scott Fitzgerald. But one thing that I
Speaker 1: think college sports fans need to be aware of that
Speaker 1: you may see big increases when it comes to what
Speaker 1: these universities are asking of you. You may see small increases,
Speaker 1: but in a lot of different areas because they're making
Speaker 1: a lot of money as far as the big time
Speaker 1: college athletic programs. And what I mean is if you're
Speaker 1: getting that annual check from the TV deal that the
Speaker 1: Big ten has and the SEC has, and even the
Speaker 1: ACC and the Big twelve for that matter, those are
Speaker 1: the those are the Big four. I mean, it's called
Speaker 1: the Power four now no longer the Power five because
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve is dead. So they're not hurting for
Speaker 1: money like the smaller schools are. They've got a budget.
Speaker 1: They've got the ability to pay their coaches an insane
Speaker 1: amount of money and even pay multiple coaches at one
Speaker 1: time because they've had to get rid of a coach.
Speaker 1: So they've been able to exist with I would say
Speaker 1: a budget that is that is doable. And what's happening
Speaker 1: this year starting this upcoming against the next when the
Speaker 1: next school year essentially starts the fall semester, it's a
Speaker 1: different world as far as as far as money. Players
Speaker 1: have been getting ANIL money for a while now, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's not new. But now these universities are they're
Speaker 1: not being forced to share twenty point five million annually
Speaker 1: in revenue with athletes. But if you want to compete,
Speaker 1: good luck getting players to come and play for you.
Speaker 1: If you're going to say, yeah, we're not sharing that
Speaker 1: much money, so those of the power for are going
Speaker 1: to have to pay the twenty point five million. Again,
Speaker 1: you're now paying athletes directly. It's called revenue sharing. Basically,
Speaker 1: what it's going to be, I feel like, is a stipend.
Speaker 1: So the reason I bring this up is because that's
Speaker 1: not a little amount of money. So almost anybody, maybe
Speaker 1: the Texas A and M's, the Texas Techs, the the
Speaker 1: Ohio States, maybe the Georgia's. Maybe they have enough funding
Speaker 1: coming in from from from outside the university and the
Speaker 1: athletic department to where bills are going to be paid
Speaker 1: and it's not going to be such a drastic change.
Speaker 1: But you have programs in the power levels that bring
Speaker 1: in a lot of money annually that are having to
Speaker 1: make some adjustments because again, twenty point five million dollars
Speaker 1: that is now there every year that you have to
Speaker 1: pay and it's only going to grow. That that's something
Speaker 1: that that's not just the drop in the bucket. That
Speaker 1: that's substantial. So I don't know exactly what we should
Speaker 1: expect around here when it comes to ways in which
Speaker 1: they're going to try to to bring in revenue to
Speaker 1: where it's not I mean, again, we're talking about twenty
Speaker 1: point five million dollars. So as far as plans for
Speaker 1: the University of Louisville, I'd say their strategy is still
Speaker 1: unfolding and and and we'll see. But when it comes
Speaker 1: to you know, programs like Michigan, I mean, Scott, you know,
Speaker 1: Michigan they're not. They're not hurting for money least less
Speaker 1: least I've checked, right, ye, and they've cut ten percent
Speaker 1: of their athletic staff because there's a big shortfall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's all part of this new day and age.
Speaker 3: And that's what we said. And I think folks are
Speaker 3: starting to kind of get used to it now to
Speaker 3: some degree. I don't think we ever fully will, but
Speaker 3: this is the new day and age of college athletics.
Speaker 3: It is really it's gone almost beyond semi pro ball.
Speaker 3: And that was some of the numbers you're throwing out. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's become pro ball.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And UK last week it was in the news
Speaker 1: that they had a big, big shortfall. So what they're
Speaker 1: doing to help with that is they're actually going to
Speaker 1: invest a bunch of money. I think they're going to
Speaker 1: ask for it from the university because they're going to
Speaker 1: invest in things that give them revenue streams to help
Speaker 1: bring in more money. I mean, you're going to see
Speaker 1: a lot of creativity with college athletic departments administration that
Speaker 1: just realized, hey, if there's something we can do, you know,
Speaker 1: everything helps yep. And certainly it's now a big money business.
Speaker 1: It always has been, but now they got to share
Speaker 1: some of that revenue and that changes a lot of things.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get an update on traffic and weather.
Speaker 1: Also another update on sports Scott right here on news
Speaker 1: radio forty WHA s
