00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee.

3
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll get the four o'clock hours started by

4
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 2>extending a big congratulations to the one, the only mister

5
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Tony Vinetti as he has been. I mean, he's been

6
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 2>given a pretty big honor here. He is going to

7
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>be one of the members of the Trinity Hall of

8
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Fame Class of twenty twenty four. So shout out to

9
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Tony Vinetti class of eighty seven. It's random to see him.

10
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 2>Did he go to Trinity, Tony? I feel like if

11
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.439
<v Speaker 2>he did, maybe they're just doing it honoring him as

12
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.000
<v Speaker 2>a louivillion because I feel like if Tony went to Trinity,

13
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 2>he would talk more about Trinity, you know what I mean? Yeah,

14
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, you know, I feel like Venetti. You know,

15
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>surely he didn't go to Trinity, because he would he

16
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>probably would talk about the Rocks a little more if

17
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.920
<v Speaker 2>that was the case. But in all seriousness, congrats to

18
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 2>uh to Tony. He is a proud Trinity Shamrock. There's

19
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 2>one thing you know, actually, there's a lot of things

20
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 2>you know about Tony. I don't know if there's anybody

21
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>that knows one thing about Tony, there's a lot of

22
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>things you know about Tony Vannetti. But yeah, congratulations. I

23
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 2>know he's got to be super excited to be a

24
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>part of this Trinity Hall of Fame.

25
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 3>You think he'll give a speech, I mean maybe over

26
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 3>the year.

27
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, good luck trying to stop him exactly. I mean,

28
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's going he gives a speech to strangers

29
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>that he passes in public about Trinity. Now he's being

30
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>inducted into their Hall of Fame. You know, somebody's gonna

31
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 2>have to put a muzzle on him because he's going

32
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>to be up there just spewing, you know, the the

33
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>love he has for the Trinity, for the Trinity family.

34
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 2>So shout out to Tony Venetti. All right again, Coffee

35
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>and Company, hour number two here on a Tuesday afternoon,

36
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for hanging out with us. We also want to

37
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.599
<v Speaker 2>give a big thanks to our friends over there Thornton's.

38
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>We are proudly fueled by Thornton's here on Coffee and Company.

39
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Make sure you sign up to become a member of

40
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the Refreshing Rewards program if you haven't already. So I

41
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 2>asked the question earlier when it comes to the uniforms

42
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>that I don't know where these came from, and I

43
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 2>assume they're real. I don't know. Somebody's asking me if

44
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 2>it's like a photoshop. Maybe it is. I don't know.

45
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 2>You never know of artificial intelligence now, But there's a

46
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>red Louisville uniform that looks like a standard Louisville football

47
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>jersey outside of one thing. It's red, the font looks

48
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 2>the same, it's got the Adida's logo, it's got the

49
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>acc football logo. It appears to be on a rack,

50
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 2>which I assume is in like a store where you

51
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.439
<v Speaker 2>can purchase it. In fact, the jersey has that little

52
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>white thing on it that they got to take off

53
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>at the register because if you walk out of the store,

54
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna the alarm's gonna go off. So I mean,

55
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>I assume this is a real jersey that you can

56
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 2>go by. But the one thing that makes it just

57
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 2>look so hideous is that what should be white is

58
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>bright yellow. And it looks like Louisville will be out

59
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>there on the field in maybe one game, I don't know,

60
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe a few games. I'm not sure. If they wear these,

61
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.800
<v Speaker 2>they'll look like they're trying to appear to be Ronald McDonald,

62
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think that's great. Look, it's not a

63
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 2>big deal. They wear them all year. I'm still gonna,

64
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, pull form and hope, hope that they win.

65
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 2>It's not gonna, you know, do anything to bring down

66
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 2>my enthusiasm and my excitement for Louisville football. But man,

67
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 2>these are hideous and I have no problem saying it.

68
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 2>But some of the feedback on the text line has

69
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 2>been that some of you guys don't think they look

70
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 2>that bad. I mean, somebody has said that they were

71
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 2>they're a Seneca graduate and they remind they remind them

72
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>of Seneca. Well, okay, Seneca's not Louisville. Man, Like, it's fine,

73
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>but like, have you ever once looked at the Seneca

74
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>They the RedHawks, a guess of the red Hawks, but

75
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>the Seneca High School red Hawks here in town. You

76
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>everyone sh looked at them on the field and think thought,

77
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 2>oh wow, they look like they're wearing U of L

78
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 2>uniforms Louisville Cardinals. I mean, they're not the same thing.

79
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, trust me, it's not as if I'm

80
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna lose sleep over it. But they're awful, and I'm

81
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>just curious as to what you know people can buy

82
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 2>them in stores. It would make me think that you can,

83
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>that you can. You know that you're going to see

84
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Lois Wille wear them at some at some point. It'll

85
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>probably be like one of their special games, because usually

86
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>there's a game every year where Adidas will give them

87
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 2>some new different uniforms to wear, to bring attention to

88
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>of course, you know the brand that is Adidas, the

89
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 2>company that gives the University of Louisville athletic department a

90
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of money to annually you know, wear their gear,

91
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 2>all right, So I don't want to nerd out too

92
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>much on the on the nil bylaws because that stuff's

93
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:50.480
<v Speaker 2>boring and it really is, you know, reading reading the

94
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 2>actual n C double A documents for this just there's

95
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 2>a lot of legal jargon that's over my head. But

96
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>here's what we do now know the n C double A.

97
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 2>They have released their annual Division one Athletics Manual and

98
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 2>it now actually has NIL by laws which went into

99
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 2>effect on August the first. So the interim INNIL policy

100
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>that went into place. Once a federal judge stepped in

101
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>and was like, yeah, you can't enforce that, Like, you

102
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 2>can't do that. That's illegal. So that interim policy which

103
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 2>was you know, really non existent. It was a complete

104
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>free for all, and it's still going to be exactly that.

105
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.240
<v Speaker 2>So a federal judge has already determined that the NCUBA

106
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 2>can't punish athletes for negotiating NIL deals during the recruiting process.

107
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Yet these new NCUBA bylaws say NIL activities may not

108
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.399
<v Speaker 2>induce an athlete to enroll or remain enrolled at an institution.

109
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Good luck with that enforcement. Again, you're claiming that these

110
00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 2>NCAA institutions cannot I mean, maybe there's maybe this is

111
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 2>saying that, you know, you can't punish the athletes, but

112
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.600
<v Speaker 2>the school can get punished. I doubt that's the case.

113
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 2>But again we've got the NCAA giving us their updated

114
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>INIL bylaws claiming that INIL like that schools can't do this, right,

115
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>schools are not going to be allowed to use INIL

116
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to induce players when we all know that's exactly what

117
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 2>this is. Like, it's just so stupid. So they're claiming

118
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 2>they're going to enforce something that a federal judge is

119
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 2>already determined that they cannot enforce. So maybe it says

120
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 2>they can't punish the athletes, but they'll punish the school. Like,

121
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I'm not even and honestly, I'm not

122
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 2>sure the NAA knows either, because they're they're just flying

123
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 2>by the seat of their pants, trying to figure something out,

124
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>and at each turn they get humbled and notified you're

125
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.720
<v Speaker 2>not legally allowed to do that. You cannot tell them

126
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 2>they cannot take this money for this, or that you

127
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 2>don't have the right to do that. That is what

128
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>federal judges have told the NCAA. Really since this whole

129
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 2>ball got rolling, and it really is all the nsaa's

130
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:09.680
<v Speaker 2>fault for forever, for forever, is that a thing? For forever?

131
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 2>They have been so against any level of players having

132
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.839
<v Speaker 2>rights to go earn money for being who they are,

133
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 2>right like, they were so locked into this archaic model

134
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 2>that they called the amateurism model. They never budged, they

135
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.600
<v Speaker 2>never did anything to make any adjustments to make, you know,

136
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.319
<v Speaker 2>to make it to where it didn't turn into this.

137
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 2>And what it's turned into is that they had decades

138
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 2>to get ahead of this, they chose not to. And

139
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>now the cat's out of the bag and they're basically

140
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:49.079
<v Speaker 2>being handcuffed from enforcing any type of regulation. So I mean,

141
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.519
<v Speaker 2>if you are somebody that works for compliance within a

142
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.839
<v Speaker 2>high level university that you know, wants to compete at

143
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the highest level in athletics, Like, what do you do?

144
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Like?

145
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.519
<v Speaker 2>What do you? I mean? You you see that the

146
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>nc DOUAA has given you this annual document that basically

147
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 2>tells you, you know, I guess the rules, and it

148
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>now includes updated n Cuba NIL bylaws. And yet you

149
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.519
<v Speaker 2>know that what they are telling you in these bylaws

150
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.759
<v Speaker 2>that you can't do. You know that legally, a federal

151
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 2>judge has said the ncuable A cannot prohibit you from

152
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.560
<v Speaker 2>doing They can't stop you from doing that. So like

153
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>do you just say the hell with this? I know

154
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 2>that they can't. They can't actually punish us, and if

155
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.120
<v Speaker 2>they do, we'll go to court and they'll lose again

156
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>because that's what the NAA does. So what purpose does

157
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>the NUAA serve for the highest level of college athletics

158
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>now where the where the big money's always been flowing

159
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 2>and there's going to be even more money flowing? Like

160
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.960
<v Speaker 2>what like again, what service? Like what what do they

161
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean? I don't I don't. I don't get it.

162
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't get it. When I say I don't get it,

163
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like, does the NCAA have any plan to

164
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.639
<v Speaker 2>like put out what they want to do and then

165
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.279
<v Speaker 2>take it to somebody, you know, a federal judge and say,

166
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 2>here's what we plan on trying to enforce. Do we

167
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>have the green light? Are we allowed to do this?

168
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 2>And you know, if they don't, they got to go

169
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.159
<v Speaker 2>back and start over. But it seems as if they

170
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 2>keep trying to enforce rules within NIL and every time

171
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.919
<v Speaker 2>they waste their time because they end up being told, yeah,

172
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>you can't do that, You're not allowed. Like is this fixable?

173
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:37.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we already know that players have been using

174
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 2>NIL money to decide where they want to go to school,

175
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>meaning like it's it's been a factor, and that's I

176
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 2>don't mean that's never changing. So I don't know. I

177
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>just this. I think I look at this a little

178
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:55.559
<v Speaker 2>bit different than most because when I see them not

179
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.960
<v Speaker 2>even being able to enforce what they want to enforce

180
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 2>in schools, clearly right now are just doing whatever they

181
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.799
<v Speaker 2>want and hoping that they don't get caught, and if

182
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.960
<v Speaker 2>they do, they probably feel pretty good about hiring a

183
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 2>lawyer and saying, look, you're not allowed to tell us,

184
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 2>and we can't do that or punish us. It's like,

185
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>at what points NSAA just decide, Look, we're going to

186
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 2>get out of the business at the highest level, meaning

187
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 2>we serve a purpose to Division two and Division three

188
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.639
<v Speaker 2>and non revenue sports. But when it comes to what

189
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>is I mean, it's been pro sports for a while now,

190
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.120
<v Speaker 2>but now it's pro sports on steroids and it's in

191
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.600
<v Speaker 2>your face, meaning all the money that is going to

192
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>be flowing in to these universities because they got bills

193
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.480
<v Speaker 2>to pay, they got players to pay now, and you're

194
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna also need a healthy NIL situation as well, because

195
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 2>you know what, NIL is going to be the real

196
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>cherry on top, right, it's going to be the signing

197
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 2>bonus that really maybe puts you over the edge with

198
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.080
<v Speaker 2>another school to where they're gonna pick you. I mean,

199
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State. I believe they were the first program to

200
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.799
<v Speaker 2>come out in some form or fashion. I doubt it

201
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.320
<v Speaker 2>was like a press release from their athletic director, but

202
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.159
<v Speaker 2>they were not at all shy about saying, yeah, well,

203
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:06.320
<v Speaker 2>we're going to be allowed to pay twenty two million

204
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:08.960
<v Speaker 2>dollars annually the student athletes, just like every other school.

205
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>And we're committing to do exactly that, because if you're

206
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 2>not doing that, you know, good luck. What are you doing?

207
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you want to win and you want

208
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.120
<v Speaker 2>to compete at a high level, you got to pay players,

209
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 2>and you now aren't being forced to, but you're now

210
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 2>allowed to and everybody knows that. And if you choose

211
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:25.399
<v Speaker 2>not to, or you just simply can't because you don't

212
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 2>have the money, I mean, good luck. But the reason

213
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:32.159
<v Speaker 2>I bring up Ohio State is because they have a

214
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.559
<v Speaker 2>lot of money already. In fact, the numbers that came

215
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 2>out about what they paid for their team last year

216
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.080
<v Speaker 2>what they paid for their team this year, I mean,

217
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 2>it's insane. But then again, it's Ohio State. They're one

218
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.759
<v Speaker 2>of the very few programs that probably can operate with

219
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.320
<v Speaker 2>the belief they have unlimited money, meaning that if they

220
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 2>forget low, they'll find new money. Because it's Ohio State.

221
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, their athletic director is now coming out and

222
00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 2>saying this was an article I read over at FootballScoop

223
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 2>dot com today, Ross Shork, the new ad at Ohio State,

224
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 2>says that they're evaluating all new revenue opportunities that could

225
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.279
<v Speaker 2>include naming rights to Ohio State Stadium. Quote, we have

226
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.879
<v Speaker 2>to put everything on the table, naming rights of the stadium,

227
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 2>the jersey patches of conversation. So I mean there's got

228
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 2>to be a breakoff at some point. Right. We've been

229
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.279
<v Speaker 2>saying that forever, but we said that long before any

230
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.600
<v Speaker 2>of this stuff in the last few years became real. Right.

231
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 2>What I mean by that is there was talk about

232
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.279
<v Speaker 2>the bigger brand programs out there separating themselves from the

233
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 2>rest of the NC DOUBLEA before ANIL, before the portal,

234
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.759
<v Speaker 2>And now you have that, and now you've got schools

235
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.600
<v Speaker 2>going to be on the hook for paying these guys

236
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 2>as well, and you have an NC double A again

237
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>the op you know, the umbrella that everybody's underneath, right,

238
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.200
<v Speaker 2>And they don't even have the ability to enforce anything,

239
00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and they don't even have the resources to attempt to

240
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:06.879
<v Speaker 2>enforce things, right, So I'm sure they're just going to

241
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:12.679
<v Speaker 2>keep on keeping on and acting like, you know, everything's normal,

242
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:16.120
<v Speaker 2>because that's what the n S DOUAA does. But something's

243
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.720
<v Speaker 2>got to give at some point, because if they can't

244
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>enforce anything, what's their purpose, Like, what are they like

245
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.559
<v Speaker 2>what are they, what are they needed for? And what

246
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I say when I say that again, I mean at

247
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.759
<v Speaker 2>the top. I don't mean for non revenue sports or

248
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.759
<v Speaker 2>in you know, Division two, Division three, because they do

249
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 2>serve a purpose there. But that's a different world. And

250
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 2>that's what has always been one of the dumbest things

251
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.559
<v Speaker 2>the nc DOUABLEA ever did. They wanted you to think

252
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.200
<v Speaker 2>that it was all the same. But the division the

253
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Division two lacrosse player, he's just like the Heisman quarterback

254
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 2>that's coming back to college for his junior year. They're

255
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.399
<v Speaker 2>all student athletes. No, it's not the same thing. You

256
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.559
<v Speaker 2>got no offense to the Division too lacrosse player or whatever.

257
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Non revenue sports like, they're not like those. Those pro

258
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 2>don't generate any money. They cost money. Whereas you've got

259
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.799
<v Speaker 2>a Heisman quarterback who if he comes back to school

260
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's in the world where there's no nil, you

261
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>know how much money that school and the n DOUAA

262
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 2>is going to be able to make off of him.

263
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean using his name, image likeness, right, because he's

264
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:20.759
<v Speaker 2>coming back to college and that's a big storyline that's

265
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.039
<v Speaker 2>going to get people to tune in. So it would

266
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.440
<v Speaker 2>be sad if like the NSABA just no longer, because again,

267
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:30.559
<v Speaker 2>that would change the tournament, but you could still have something.

268
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.000
<v Speaker 2>But then you've got to worry about Okay, well, if

269
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 2>the big schools break off, like would we have a

270
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Cinderella anymore in the dance? Would it only be you know,

271
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.600
<v Speaker 2>the power four, power five, I should say in basketball,

272
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 2>and that that kind of stuff would make me sad.

273
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.879
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know. I've always believed and I don't

274
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:48.960
<v Speaker 2>have like a plan that I've put together to present

275
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.159
<v Speaker 2>anybody with any level of you know, say so. But

276
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.960
<v Speaker 2>like football, I think can be different. Like I think

277
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 2>football at the highest level because it is honest. Let's

278
00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.480
<v Speaker 2>be real, there's what three hundred and sixty something Division

279
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:03.039
<v Speaker 2>one schools the NUAA with basketball, Well you've got a

280
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.159
<v Speaker 2>ton of FCS schools that are D one in basketball,

281
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.720
<v Speaker 2>but their FCS in football, it's different. It's the lower level.

282
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.120
<v Speaker 2>And you've got what one hundred and thirty FBS teams,

283
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.480
<v Speaker 2>and those are I guess technically the Division I schools

284
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:15.960
<v Speaker 2>with your G four and now your G five and

285
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.519
<v Speaker 2>the handful of independence, Like maybe you could do it

286
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>that way because the NAA tournament to me is something

287
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:24.519
<v Speaker 2>I would never want to see messed with. And honestly,

288
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:29.120
<v Speaker 2>the NAA tournament is what incentivizes the NC DOUBLEA to

289
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.720
<v Speaker 2>try to stay alive because that's how they make their money.

290
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.759
<v Speaker 2>That is, that's really how they can exist and give

291
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.279
<v Speaker 2>people jobs and give you know, what's the guy's name

292
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:41.279
<v Speaker 2>who's left there, Mark Emertt, give that guy, you know,

293
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.440
<v Speaker 2>millions annually and then you know, throw on a couple

294
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.279
<v Speaker 2>mill extra for an annual bonus. That guy was making

295
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:53.000
<v Speaker 2>insane money. But I'm just putting it out there that

296
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 2>I won't be shocked if in the next year. So

297
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.480
<v Speaker 2>you just don't see the NCAA being because you got

298
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.279
<v Speaker 2>to keep in mind in this sum I should have mentioned,

299
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:03.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, before really diving in here in this segment

300
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.159
<v Speaker 2>about the whole thing, the NUAA doesn't own anything in

301
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:09.480
<v Speaker 2>college football. The college football National Championship Game is an

302
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.759
<v Speaker 2>ESPN owned event. The College Bable Playoff, I should say.

303
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Now again, now there's other partners involved since they've expanded it.

304
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.879
<v Speaker 2>But like the NC double A does not determine the

305
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 2>national championship in college football at the highest level, this

306
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.799
<v Speaker 2>tournament does the playoff, and that is not an NC

307
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Double A sanctioned event that is, I mean, I guess

308
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.440
<v Speaker 2>it kind of is right because you know, it's college

309
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 2>football programs playing. But like the NC DOUBLEA does not

310
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.600
<v Speaker 2>have a football version of the Big Dance, if that

311
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:43.120
<v Speaker 2>makes sense. So clearly they can still make money from

312
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:46.240
<v Speaker 2>the NUBLEA from you know, college football to an extent,

313
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:50.080
<v Speaker 2>but you know, the big big dollars from the TD

314
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 2>rights deals and the college Football Playoff broadcast package. You know,

315
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.440
<v Speaker 2>obviously there's going to be different networks that have games. Now,

316
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's not an NC double A thing. All right,

317
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:03.159
<v Speaker 2>let's get to a quick break. We'll come back on

318
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.599
<v Speaker 2>the other side. Get to the text line. Got some

319
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Louisville football stuff I want to get into as well.

320
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:10.799
<v Speaker 2>There's one name we haven't talked about a whole lot

321
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.839
<v Speaker 2>since he committed and became the highest rated signee in

322
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.680
<v Speaker 2>school history. But it sounds like there's some good momentum

323
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:19.720
<v Speaker 2>for this young man at fall camp, so we'll get

324
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.759
<v Speaker 2>into that. Also, I mentioned some Olympic stuff I want

325
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:23.480
<v Speaker 2>to take a look at. I'm not going to bore

326
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.119
<v Speaker 2>you by doing a metal count, because I mean, I'm sure,

327
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, in fact, I know we're dominating. The United

328
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.440
<v Speaker 2>States is dominating when it comes to metal count. But

329
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.039
<v Speaker 2>there's some interesting stuff that's come out in regards to

330
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.480
<v Speaker 2>the coverage over there at the Olympics, and also just

331
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, my favorite part of the Olympics is the

332
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:40.880
<v Speaker 2>stories you get that really have nothing to do with

333
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:43.720
<v Speaker 2>the actual competition. But that's just me, So stick with us.

334
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.079
<v Speaker 2>We're taking you up till six o'clock right here on

335
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Sports Talk seven ninety. I'm as guilty as any fan

336
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:58.519
<v Speaker 2>of getting more optimistic for no real reason as you

337
00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:03.599
<v Speaker 2>get closer and closer to football season starting. It's just

338
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.440
<v Speaker 2>what fans do, right. Your excitement gets to such a

339
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.160
<v Speaker 2>high level, it just turns into where the power you know,

340
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.799
<v Speaker 2>he just turns into the power of positivity taken over

341
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 2>to where you know, you get a little extra on

342
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:19.359
<v Speaker 2>the homer. Noess, if that makes sense right? Like, you know,

343
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 2>John is already thinking Signette's winning ten games this year

344
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:24.480
<v Speaker 2>in year one because we're getting closer and he's fired

345
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:25.359
<v Speaker 2>up for Signetti.

346
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:26.960
<v Speaker 3>That's half true.

347
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:28.240
<v Speaker 2>I will say this. I'm kidding.

348
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.440
<v Speaker 3>I have created a path, not even created, but I've

349
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 3>convinced myself that if Indiana gets past UCLA in week three,

350
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:36.680
<v Speaker 3>that there's a path to be six and oh before

351
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:38.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, oh yeah, as early as it ever been.

352
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:40.039
<v Speaker 3>Don't think they'rever have been six and oh.

353
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.640
<v Speaker 2>And that is exactly what I'm talking about. To where

354
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 2>right now we got nothing right, camp's going on, or

355
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.079
<v Speaker 2>at least it's starting soon for some Louisve has already

356
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.960
<v Speaker 2>started camp. We know the schedule. You just hope nobody

357
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:51.839
<v Speaker 2>gets hurt until we actually get to some games. To

358
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:53.960
<v Speaker 2>where you're looking at, Okay, I was doing the same

359
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.799
<v Speaker 2>thing last year right with Louisville. Man, if they're undefeated

360
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.319
<v Speaker 2>when Notre Dame comes to town, which they were, you know,

361
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.880
<v Speaker 2>this is we're at that point of the year, right,

362
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.759
<v Speaker 2>We've exhausted all different ways when it comes to you know,

363
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 2>looking at the schedule, the opponents, expectations, all that stuff's

364
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:09.440
<v Speaker 2>been talked about. Now it's just like, you know what,

365
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:12.279
<v Speaker 2>eight wins, No, we're getting nine, No, nine, maybe ten.

366
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:14.400
<v Speaker 2>So I've said it for a while now and I

367
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.559
<v Speaker 2>haven't My wind total number hasn't really fluctuated, right. I

368
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.640
<v Speaker 2>think eight is the floor, ten is the ceiling. But

369
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm well where they could maybe be better, and they

370
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.000
<v Speaker 2>could certainly be worse, like you just don't know. But

371
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the closer we get, the more just excited I am,

372
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and the more I feel like my thoughts on this

373
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.599
<v Speaker 2>team is even more legit. Now I could be totally wrong, right,

374
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe this team stakes highly doubt that's the case, but

375
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.359
<v Speaker 2>I really feel good about what Jeff Bram has to

376
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:45.440
<v Speaker 2>work with here from a personnel standpoint, And yes, the

377
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:47.759
<v Speaker 2>schedule is tougher, but as I've said many times, I

378
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.000
<v Speaker 2>think they have a chance to be a lot better

379
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:52.200
<v Speaker 2>offensively and they're going to be just as good, if

380
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.839
<v Speaker 2>not better, defensively. Now the question is quarterback play. Can

381
00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 2>can Shuck stay healthy? Is he going to gel with

382
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.440
<v Speaker 2>his weapons at receiver that are new? I mean, these

383
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:05.599
<v Speaker 2>guys have never played together before, so it's going to

384
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:07.240
<v Speaker 2>be new to them. But that didn't mean it can't work.

385
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:09.759
<v Speaker 2>But one guy that you know, I don't know how

386
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:12.480
<v Speaker 2>much he's going to be a factor on the defensive

387
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.319
<v Speaker 2>on the defensive line for Louisville this year, just because

388
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:19.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, technically he's supposed to be a high school

389
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Actually technically hes supposed to be a senior right now,

390
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:25.400
<v Speaker 2>or no, I'm sorry, excuse me. He's supposed to be

391
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.759
<v Speaker 2>a true freshman. But he's already been here a year

392
00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:31.480
<v Speaker 2>in that name that I'm referring to as Tjkper. So

393
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:35.559
<v Speaker 2>this is a guy who last year decided to reclassify

394
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:39.880
<v Speaker 2>and he jumped up and skipped his senior year. This

395
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:44.279
<v Speaker 2>isn't a guy who reclassified back to his original class.

396
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:47.039
<v Speaker 2>He was here last year at Louisville, a part of

397
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:50.079
<v Speaker 2>the team as a kid that should have been a

398
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:52.799
<v Speaker 2>senior in high school. And I'll be honestly, I haven't

399
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 2>heard that he was, you know, like there was any issue.

400
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:00.680
<v Speaker 2>But I remember after going through his first season this

401
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.799
<v Speaker 2>past year, we got to springball what four or five

402
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.359
<v Speaker 2>months ago in March, and Ron English, defensive coordinator for

403
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:09.599
<v Speaker 2>the Cards, did not have good things to say about TJ. Capers.

404
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is a guy who again highest rated

405
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.640
<v Speaker 2>kid to ever sign with louisvill football, higher rated than

406
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Michael Bush and Brian Brahm according to the twenty four

407
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:20.880
<v Speaker 2>seven Sports Rankings, higher than James Quick. I mean, this

408
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:24.759
<v Speaker 2>guy picked Louisville over Georgia, Miami, Colorado, and USC but

409
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:28.039
<v Speaker 2>he also had offers from Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State,

410
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Texas A and m Tennessee, Michigan, LSU, and others. So

411
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:36.880
<v Speaker 2>he's a big time get in by the way. He

412
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.039
<v Speaker 2>enrolled early. You know why, because when you commit to

413
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 2>a school like Louisville over all those other schools, you

414
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker 2>know what, nil's probably a factor. And the quicker you

415
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:46.720
<v Speaker 2>get here, the quicker you can start making money and

416
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:49.079
<v Speaker 2>taking some of that nil money. So that's what he did.

417
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:54.400
<v Speaker 2>So in March, Ron English said this, and I'm reading

418
00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.880
<v Speaker 2>directly from one of the recaps from the spring practices.

419
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:02.440
<v Speaker 2>In March, when talking about TJ. Capers, louis defensive coordinator,

420
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:05.799
<v Speaker 2>Ron English says, to say that I am disappointed into

421
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 2>him would be an understatement. There's some things that we've

422
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.359
<v Speaker 2>asked of him to do and he just hasn't done

423
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:12.839
<v Speaker 2>it yet. So that led to a lot of people thinking, Okay,

424
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:15.240
<v Speaker 2>this kid, maybe he's maybe he's been in some trouble,

425
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:17.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe he's just not putting in work. I mean, there

426
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.079
<v Speaker 2>wasn't any I hadn't heard anything as far as anything

427
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:21.559
<v Speaker 2>he had done to get in trouble, as far as

428
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:23.440
<v Speaker 2>like breaking rules, but it just sounds like he wasn't

429
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:26.200
<v Speaker 2>putting in the work that they wanted him to put in.

430
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>And you know that's unfortunate, but you got to keep

431
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:30.279
<v Speaker 2>in mind, this kid was supposed to be in high school.

432
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:32.319
<v Speaker 2>He was also coming off of an injury where he

433
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't play a lot of football in the year prior

434
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:38.960
<v Speaker 2>to joining Louisville again in the year he was supposed

435
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:41.880
<v Speaker 2>to be a high school senior. So I think it

436
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.519
<v Speaker 2>was Mark Ivy, louis defensive line coach as well as

437
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:46.559
<v Speaker 2>one of one of the one of the veteran players

438
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:48.680
<v Speaker 2>on the team. They were talking after practice. I think

439
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.079
<v Speaker 2>it was late last week that Capers is really really

440
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:54.920
<v Speaker 2>starting to come on and he's really starting to show,

441
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:57.799
<v Speaker 2>okay why he was a guy that some people thought

442
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:00.240
<v Speaker 2>was one of, if not the best players in the

443
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:02.559
<v Speaker 2>country at his position. So I don't know how much

444
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.119
<v Speaker 2>he's going to play this year, but I wouldn't be

445
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.920
<v Speaker 2>shocked if if he you know, I mean, I assume

446
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.000
<v Speaker 2>he'll get some reps, and I wouldn't be shocked if

447
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.839
<v Speaker 2>you see some flashes of a guy that, oh yeah,

448
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.039
<v Speaker 2>because that I feel like that happens from time to time.

449
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not as much around here because honestly, we don't

450
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.720
<v Speaker 2>get a whole lot of five star freshmen, but you'll

451
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:21.920
<v Speaker 2>see a kid and he'll make a big play and

452
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:23.880
<v Speaker 2>you'll think, Okay, well, you know what, that's not something

453
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.880
<v Speaker 2>you see every series for this guy on offense or defense,

454
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.559
<v Speaker 2>whatever position they play, but you'll see a flash of

455
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:32.599
<v Speaker 2>something that will let you know, Okay, that's why this

456
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:34.640
<v Speaker 2>kid could have picked any school in the country to

457
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:37.200
<v Speaker 2>go to, because he's got that kind of upside and talent.

458
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.000
<v Speaker 2>So I'm hoping TJ. Caper's is able to get on

459
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:42.839
<v Speaker 2>the field and make an impact because again we're talking

460
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.319
<v Speaker 2>about a guy who is the highest rated ranked recruit ever.

461
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Now again, maybe there's some rankings out there in recruiting

462
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:54.079
<v Speaker 2>that have it differently, but still, I mean, that's it's

463
00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:57.319
<v Speaker 2>a guy that you don't get very often, and you

464
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:00.039
<v Speaker 2>probably had to use a lot of nil resources to

465
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.279
<v Speaker 2>get set players, so you know, you wanted to work

466
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:04.680
<v Speaker 2>out and it sounds like initially that was a concern,

467
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.400
<v Speaker 2>but now he's he's heading in the right direction. But

468
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:09.640
<v Speaker 2>he's like he's playing in front of guys that are

469
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:13.319
<v Speaker 2>fifth years, some some guys are six year seniors. I mean,

470
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:17.799
<v Speaker 2>and he's he's he's a guy who technically was is

471
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:20.240
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be an incoming freshman right now. But he

472
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:22.720
<v Speaker 2>was here a year ago, and if anything, it sounds

473
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:24.480
<v Speaker 2>like that was a learning experience from him because he

474
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 2>wasn't doing what the coaches needed and wanted him to

475
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.319
<v Speaker 2>do once spring ball started. But it sounds like since

476
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:32.920
<v Speaker 2>they've been in camp, and I guess really since spring ended,

477
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:34.400
<v Speaker 2>he's been putting in the work that you that you

478
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:40.880
<v Speaker 2>want to see. All right, So real quick, the annual

479
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:46.000
<v Speaker 2>NFL player votes have come in. It's the end of

480
00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:48.480
<v Speaker 2>let me let me just double check here, because I

481
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I think they do top one hundred, but there's so

482
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:54.480
<v Speaker 2>many players in the NFL, I feel like they would

483
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:57.319
<v Speaker 2>do more than two hundred. But yeah, over the last

484
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:00.319
<v Speaker 2>few days, the NFL's annual list of the t one

485
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.920
<v Speaker 2>players in the league, voted on by players of the league,

486
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:08.519
<v Speaker 2>was released, and I mean, I think the most talked

487
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:15.599
<v Speaker 2>about snub is that Patrick Mahomes was not voted as

488
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:20.880
<v Speaker 2>the number one quarterback. He was number two outside of

489
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Lamar Jackson. Now, if you're just basing it off of

490
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:27.240
<v Speaker 2>like MVP awards and that kind of stuff, then yeah,

491
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Lamar's coming off of an NFL MVP Season

492
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.519
<v Speaker 2>one and for the second time. But I gotta admit,

493
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.960
<v Speaker 2>like I'm surprised that Lamar's is one. I'm surprised. I mean,

494
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have been shocked if Lamar came in at

495
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:46.079
<v Speaker 2>like number three or four, because these are NFL players

496
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:49.599
<v Speaker 2>telling you who they think the best is. And maybe

497
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:52.519
<v Speaker 2>there's some pettiness involved, maybe there's some jealousy involved. I

498
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:54.720
<v Speaker 2>don't know, But again, I think this is as valuable

499
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:58.480
<v Speaker 2>as anything you see as far as ranking players, because

500
00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:01.200
<v Speaker 2>these are guys who are in your line of work, right,

501
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:04.519
<v Speaker 2>these are your peers and your profession. So Lamar came

502
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.359
<v Speaker 2>in at one, Patrick Mahomes number two, Josh Allen number three,

503
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Hurts number four, Dak Prescott number five, c J.

504
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Stroud number six, Brock Purty number seven, Jordan Love number

505
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:18.880
<v Speaker 2>eight to number nine, and then Burrow number ten. That

506
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:21.240
<v Speaker 2>really shocked me to see Burrow fall that far. So

507
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:25.720
<v Speaker 2>the question I have, and again we want we won't

508
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:27.880
<v Speaker 2>find out the actual answer to this, and I'm sure

509
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>there's not just one specific answer, But does Mahomes not

510
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:39.319
<v Speaker 2>being number one, does it say more about jealousy? Maybe

511
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 2>because I don't get the sense that Mahomes doesn't come

512
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.519
<v Speaker 2>in respect from his peers in the NFL. I think

513
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.000
<v Speaker 2>he's respected as a competitor. I think he's respected as

514
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:51.799
<v Speaker 2>a great player because he is exactly that. Although last

515
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:53.759
<v Speaker 2>year I kind of feel like we saw him melting

516
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:56.599
<v Speaker 2>down more than we previously did, crying to the refs

517
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.440
<v Speaker 2>more than we used to, throwing a hissy fit on

518
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:01.240
<v Speaker 2>the sideline because they weren't going to be able to

519
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:05.000
<v Speaker 2>host in the playoffs for the first time. But you know,

520
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:06.720
<v Speaker 2>if that's if that's a one time thing, then you know,

521
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:09.920
<v Speaker 2>I'd say he gets a pass. Or maybe it's NFL

522
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:13.160
<v Speaker 2>players that believe he's super talented, right, they didn't leave

523
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:14.279
<v Speaker 2>him off the list, they just didn't put it in

524
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:16.720
<v Speaker 2>number one when I feel like most people objectively would

525
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:18.440
<v Speaker 2>tell you that Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in

526
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:20.759
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but I feel

527
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:23.160
<v Speaker 2>like most people would say that if they're gonna be

528
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:27.720
<v Speaker 2>honest and fair. So maybe the NFL players they realize

529
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.119
<v Speaker 2>his talent and what he can do, but they think

530
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.079
<v Speaker 2>maybe he benefits a whole lot from the weapons he

531
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.119
<v Speaker 2>has to throw to, like Travis Kelcey, who's been you know,

532
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:41.000
<v Speaker 2>one of the many weapons he's had, and he also

533
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.400
<v Speaker 2>benefits from coaching or from being coached by Andy Reid,

534
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:49.960
<v Speaker 2>who's phenomenal or does it speak more than anything to

535
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:52.279
<v Speaker 2>the respect that Lamar Jackson has from his peers in

536
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. This is the second time Lamar has been

537
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:58.319
<v Speaker 2>named the number one quarterback in the NFL by you know,

538
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:03.839
<v Speaker 2>players in the NFL. So these rankings are really kind

539
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:08.079
<v Speaker 2>of stupid because it comes down to Super Bowl wins,

540
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:14.599
<v Speaker 2>and unfortunately, there are quarterbacks that are great, phenomenal but

541
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:16.759
<v Speaker 2>never won a Super Bowl, and that gets brought up

542
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:19.519
<v Speaker 2>when you talk about their career. I mean, right or wrong,

543
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:22.960
<v Speaker 2>fair or not, That's just how it is. So if

544
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Lamar Jackson collects four more MVP Awards but he never

545
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:29.240
<v Speaker 2>gets a Super Bowl and Mahomes gets a few more

546
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:34.279
<v Speaker 2>of them, the legacy is going to be quite different

547
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:37.680
<v Speaker 2>for those two guys. And I can't say that that's

548
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.960
<v Speaker 2>like unfair because obviously winning the ultimate prize, which is

549
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:47.119
<v Speaker 2>a Super Bowl, should be heavily valued when considering guys

550
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:50.079
<v Speaker 2>that are, you know, at the top of their position.

551
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:54.000
<v Speaker 2>But I just I don't know, like I'm as big

552
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:57.039
<v Speaker 2>of a Lamar Jackson fan as anybody to see him

553
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:00.279
<v Speaker 2>come back last year, after all the controversy and guards

554
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.759
<v Speaker 2>to his contract and no agent, he came back healthy

555
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>and was phenomenal again, won the MVP Award for the

556
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.599
<v Speaker 2>second time, and he really didn't have much competition for

557
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:13.559
<v Speaker 2>being honest, and he made it further in the playoffs

558
00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:14.839
<v Speaker 2>than he's ever made it. And you know who, he

559
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 2>ran into, Mahomes and the Chiefs. And I kind of

560
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:20.519
<v Speaker 2>feel like a lot of teams that run into Mahomes

561
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:26.319
<v Speaker 2>and the Chiefs in the NFL playoffs for the foreseeable future,

562
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:28.319
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna have They're gonna have tough time getting around

563
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:30.880
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs because that's a dynasty right there. It is.

564
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:35.240
<v Speaker 2>But I just I would have I would have expected

565
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Lamar to be a little bit further down. But hey,

566
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:39.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, good for him. Again. I don't think there's

567
00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:44.559
<v Speaker 2>anything that can make you feel more honored in your

568
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:47.720
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to get like corny, but like

569
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:51.359
<v Speaker 2>if you are someone that works as part of a

570
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:53.440
<v Speaker 2>team and you're not, you know, on a team like

571
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:55.759
<v Speaker 2>the Baltimore Ravens and the National Football League, you're on

572
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:57.759
<v Speaker 2>a team at work doing whatever it is that you do.

573
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:01.559
<v Speaker 2>And you know if you' or peers those that you

574
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:06.480
<v Speaker 2>work with some guys you work with super close, maybe

575
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:09.319
<v Speaker 2>some people you know they're in a different department kind

576
00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:12.359
<v Speaker 2>of like a different team within the NFL, and and

577
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:15.240
<v Speaker 2>they voted you as the best at what you do

578
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:17.839
<v Speaker 2>in your line of work. Like that should that that

579
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:20.440
<v Speaker 2>should make you feel amazing because those are people that

580
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:24.279
<v Speaker 2>are doing what you do right. And I don't mean

581
00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't say that to act like people who've never

582
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:28.640
<v Speaker 2>played in the NFL their opinion should never matter it,

583
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:29.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, because I think that's silly.

584
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Now.

585
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, if you've been there and you've been in the trenches,

586
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:34.920
<v Speaker 2>you've been in the game, you've been in the locker room,

587
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:38.079
<v Speaker 2>clearly you have you have insight and experience that someone

588
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.279
<v Speaker 2>like myself would never have. But like you know, I

589
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:44.759
<v Speaker 2>I know enough about the sport to watch it to

590
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:47.119
<v Speaker 2>at least have an opinion. Doesn't mean that yours is,

591
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:50.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, right or wrong. It's just it's it's just different.

592
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:53.079
<v Speaker 2>But I think Donovan Mitchell, if you guys remember whenever

593
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:55.599
<v Speaker 2>he won the NBA Rookie of the Year award, he

594
00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:58.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't win the actual award because that went to the

595
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:00.759
<v Speaker 2>red shirt rookie that was been Simmons at the time,

596
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.039
<v Speaker 2>who wasn't actually a rookie, but he was, and that

597
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.440
<v Speaker 2>was kind of controversial. But then Donovan he won the

598
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.759
<v Speaker 2>NBA Players Association Award for Rookie of the Year that

599
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:13.640
<v Speaker 2>was voted on by the league, and I remember thinking, like,

600
00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:16.279
<v Speaker 2>you know what, man like when when people talk about

601
00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 2>the Rookie of the Year during the twenty sixteen and

602
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.119
<v Speaker 2>seventeen Sorry, I guess it was the twenty seventeen eighteen

603
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.279
<v Speaker 2>NBA season, They're gonna look at the actual award that

604
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Ben Simmons got. But man, it actually means more. I

605
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.519
<v Speaker 2>would think if the players who I play against and

606
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I compete against every night, if they gave me that honor.

607
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe Joe Burrow came in at number ten.

608
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.759
<v Speaker 2>That really that really fed me because of the haircut.

609
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Could be I don't know. I mean, I know that

610
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.599
<v Speaker 2>rock Perties is better than some people give him credit for,

611
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:49.839
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know. I don't he ain't better than

612
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Joe Burrow. And I know CJ. Stroud was sensational last

613
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:55.279
<v Speaker 2>year for the Texans, and I'm worried about him because

614
00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:57.119
<v Speaker 2>I think he could be the future of the AFC

615
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.720
<v Speaker 2>South but I don't know, man like to see. I mean,

616
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Burrow took the frickin' Bengals to the Super Bowl. Come

617
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:07.839
<v Speaker 2>on now, that alone should should put him in the

618
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:10.200
<v Speaker 2>top five. I feel like, all right, quick break, we'll

619
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:12.880
<v Speaker 2>come back on the other side. Keep this thing rolling along.

620
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Stick with us, don't move, don't go anywhere, Hang tight,

621
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:20.880
<v Speaker 2>keep it locked. What are some other ones? Keep it

622
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:22.559
<v Speaker 2>where you got it, Keep it where you got it.

623
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:26.160
<v Speaker 2>That's right, it's Tony Venetti tagline there, all right, it's

624
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Coffee and Company fuel Beuth Thornon's right here on Sports

625
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Talk seven ninety. That's right, coffee and Company. As we

626
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:36.440
<v Speaker 2>wrap up the four o'clock hour on a Tuesday afternoon.

627
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Don't forget, though, we take you up till six o'clock

628
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:40.920
<v Speaker 2>every day, So hangout. Still a lot more to get into.

629
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:43.000
<v Speaker 2>But one of the most talked about things right now

630
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:48.039
<v Speaker 2>in college football, without really any varying opinions, seemingly is

631
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:52.519
<v Speaker 2>the situation with Connor Stallions and the sience stealer that

632
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:56.519
<v Speaker 2>helped Michigan football really turn the corner under Jim Harball.

633
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.480
<v Speaker 2>And this is one of those things that I'm assuming

634
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:03.680
<v Speaker 2>is real and I've tried to go back and see

635
00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:06.720
<v Speaker 2>if there's anybody that's referenced this, you know, to because

636
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I could see this being a made up number that

637
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:10.720
<v Speaker 2>everybody runs with. But I don't think that it is

638
00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:15.119
<v Speaker 2>so Jim Harball, before he relied on the help of

639
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Connor Stallions at Michigan, his record was forty nine and

640
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 2>twenty six. After utilizing Connor Stallions, as you know, a spy,

641
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:30.599
<v Speaker 2>essentially forty and three. I mean, that's insane. It is insane,

642
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:32.160
<v Speaker 2>and it makes me wonder like is it you know,

643
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:35.079
<v Speaker 2>is is it actually real? And when I say that,

644
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:36.599
<v Speaker 2>there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of varying

645
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:39.319
<v Speaker 2>opinions on it if you're not a Michigan fan. Like

646
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:43.119
<v Speaker 2>we all know, this was clearly an elaborate plan to

647
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:46.119
<v Speaker 2>cheat and give yourself an advantage that other teams would

648
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:49.440
<v Speaker 2>not have the notice of allegations from the NC DOUBLEA.

649
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.079
<v Speaker 2>It's a big, juicy story. It's a defending Now it's

650
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.720
<v Speaker 2>the reigning national champs that are now being they're about

651
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:58.039
<v Speaker 2>to be given a notice of allegations from the NC DOUBLEA. Now,

652
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.519
<v Speaker 2>I think the N double A, seingly having less power

653
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:05.119
<v Speaker 2>now than ever, has kind of lightened the anticipation here.

654
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.319
<v Speaker 2>As far as what's gonna happen with Michigan, I don't

655
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:09.320
<v Speaker 2>think anybody really expects much at all to happen because

656
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:11.400
<v Speaker 2>they've already won it, and if they want to vacate it,

657
00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:13.239
<v Speaker 2>who cares? What are you gonna do to Jim Harbaugh. He's

658
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:17.280
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL, he ran away, So you know, I

659
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:22.239
<v Speaker 2>just I'm not somebody that just wants to see Michigan

660
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:23.840
<v Speaker 2>get buried, because I don't really care. I'm not a

661
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Michigan fan by any means. You know, they clearly cheated,

662
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and you know if they get a punishment, and they

663
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:31.480
<v Speaker 2>get a punishment, but like, it's just wild to see

664
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:33.599
<v Speaker 2>how this whole thing unfolded. And I don't know what

665
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:37.599
<v Speaker 2>we really should expect from this Netflix documentary that's about

666
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:41.400
<v Speaker 2>to come out. It's part of Netflix's Untold Sports documentary series,

667
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:43.679
<v Speaker 2>which all of them have been great. I think this

668
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.440
<v Speaker 2>will be great as well. But I guess more than anything,

669
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 2>for me, I just want to hear what this guy says.

670
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:51.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean the trailer. I mean, let's see if there

671
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there's a trailer out here. Can we can

672
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:57.599
<v Speaker 2>reference from Netflix? Because they've started to Uh, I mean

673
00:34:57.599 --> 00:34:59.519
<v Speaker 2>they've started to tease it a little bit, and it's

674
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:01.239
<v Speaker 2>coming out. I mean it'll be out this month, I think,

675
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:07.920
<v Speaker 2>or maybe it's September. Yeah, this is let's see here. Well,

676
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:10.000
<v Speaker 2>it looks like uh, it looks like a tweet has

677
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:13.599
<v Speaker 2>been deleted from the official Netflix account. Oh no, this

678
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:17.280
<v Speaker 2>was uh, let's see, this was. Let me see. I'm

679
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:20.679
<v Speaker 2>curious here. Yeah, it says it's been deleted because somebody

680
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:24.280
<v Speaker 2>who runs the site Awful Announcing, which does a lot

681
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:27.719
<v Speaker 2>of sports media coverage, they shared this tweet that again

682
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.199
<v Speaker 2>has now been deleted from Netflix. It says the Netflix

683
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:33.199
<v Speaker 2>doc on Connor Stallion shows three people who set for interviews,

684
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:37.599
<v Speaker 2>a reporter Stallions himself, and Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports,

685
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:39.719
<v Speaker 2>who is a Michigan alum and a big time Michigan fan.

686
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:45.679
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. I mean, you gotta wonder the

687
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:48.599
<v Speaker 2>Big Ten in Michigan. I believe I know. The Big

688
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Ten has said that they were not a part of this,

689
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:55.599
<v Speaker 2>meaning they didn't like they didn't they didn't participate in

690
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:58.440
<v Speaker 2>the documentary or even be asked about it. Somebody that

691
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:02.440
<v Speaker 2>was a spokesman for the league said that now Michigan.

692
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they were asked and they decided

693
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:07.840
<v Speaker 2>not to talk. But like, if Netflix is out here

694
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:11.199
<v Speaker 2>deleting the trailer that you know, I now can't seem

695
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:15.159
<v Speaker 2>to find it kind of makes me wonder, you know,

696
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:17.039
<v Speaker 2>did they get hit up with like a hey, you

697
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:19.320
<v Speaker 2>better be careful before you put that out there, because

698
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:23.760
<v Speaker 2>nobody can corroborate what this Stallions guy's saying. Maybe he's

699
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:25.239
<v Speaker 2>making it all up. I don't know, Like I get

700
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I do get the sense that Michigan's probably nervous and

701
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:31.079
<v Speaker 2>worried because Stallions has never talked publicly and this will

702
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:33.480
<v Speaker 2>be the first time any of us hear him. And

703
00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:36.119
<v Speaker 2>now I'm trying to see if you know, maybe I've

704
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:38.440
<v Speaker 2>just you know, I've just here we go. This is

705
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:42.599
<v Speaker 2>well now they're showing then I can't play Becau's got

706
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:44.119
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of curse words in it. But they the

707
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:49.159
<v Speaker 2>trailers that they put out, it's not just for the

708
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Connor Stallion sign Steeler documentary. It's also for the series

709
00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:58.360
<v Speaker 2>on looks like Hope Solo, as well as the one

710
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:02.880
<v Speaker 2>they're doing on Steve McNair. And thank you for subtitles Netflix,

711
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:05.239
<v Speaker 2>because I would have just played this because it does

712
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:08.320
<v Speaker 2>show some people, you know, some snippets of the interviews

713
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:12.039
<v Speaker 2>about the Stallion's thing, but there was clearly some efwords.

714
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:18.079
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, I cannot wait to see what is actually

715
00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:19.880
<v Speaker 2>in this, and I'm trying not to get my hopes

716
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:22.840
<v Speaker 2>of because it could still be really well done worth watching,

717
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:25.639
<v Speaker 2>but not be juicy, not be like, oh wow, can

718
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:28.199
<v Speaker 2>you believe he really laid out how they made all

719
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:31.760
<v Speaker 2>this happen. He told us who actually paid him money

720
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:35.920
<v Speaker 2>to go do this? So yeah, August the twentieth is

721
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:40.320
<v Speaker 2>when is when these three new episodes, three new stories

722
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:42.559
<v Speaker 2>dropped from Untold, So we still got a couple of

723
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.320
<v Speaker 2>weeks before that happens. But man, I'm curious if we

724
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:48.119
<v Speaker 2>start to get any kind of leak, any kind of info,

725
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:52.239
<v Speaker 2>because you know, everybody who covers college football is going

726
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.840
<v Speaker 2>to be staying up at midnight when that drops. It'll

727
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:57.559
<v Speaker 2>probably actually be three eight I remember this whenever the

728
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:00.559
<v Speaker 2>Wrestlers show dropped. If it's a release on Netflix on

729
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:02.880
<v Speaker 2>a day, it'll be Pacific times, so you actually have

730
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:05.400
<v Speaker 2>to stay up till three am Eastern to watch it,

731
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:07.440
<v Speaker 2>which I'm not going to do that for the Connor Stallions,

732
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:11.519
<v Speaker 2>but college football reporters will, they'll watch it, report on it,

733
00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:13.480
<v Speaker 2>and go from there because they're going to get information

734
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:17.920
<v Speaker 2>seemingly from Stallions that none nobody has so.

735
00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:20.960
<v Speaker 3>And it'll be four days before the first college football.

736
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Game, and I, you know, I can't really check the

737
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:26.840
<v Speaker 2>pulse as far as what people are expecting to come

738
00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:29.239
<v Speaker 2>from this. But this is just unusual. Right. We've got

739
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.239
<v Speaker 2>a team fresh off a national championship. We all know

740
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:35.440
<v Speaker 2>they cheated to you know, to and we'll never know

741
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:38.559
<v Speaker 2>the exact amount of advantage they had based off what

742
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:40.320
<v Speaker 2>they did, but clearly like what they did was an

743
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.599
<v Speaker 2>elaborate plan to give themselves an advantage over other teams. Right,

744
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:46.880
<v Speaker 2>if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. But now their

745
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:49.239
<v Speaker 2>coach is gone, the guy who was at the head

746
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:51.880
<v Speaker 2>of it, nobody's heard from. He went Andre McGee and

747
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.519
<v Speaker 2>went completely silent, although you know he reappeared to talk

748
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:58.079
<v Speaker 2>to these Netflix people and now we'll see what he

749
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:01.199
<v Speaker 2>has to say. And again, trying not to get my

750
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:02.920
<v Speaker 2>hopes up, but there's part of me that says, you

751
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:06.800
<v Speaker 2>don't put this documentary together if he's not gonna talk

752
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.360
<v Speaker 2>about what happened, like you would be a waste of time.

753
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:12.840
<v Speaker 2>And I know last year they did that kind of

754
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:16.000
<v Speaker 2>with the with the Tim Tebow thing, like everybody expected

755
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:18.599
<v Speaker 2>it to be like stories about Hernandez when he was

756
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:20.679
<v Speaker 2>at Florida and all the other guys that were, you know,

757
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:23.559
<v Speaker 2>arrested for crimes, and it really wasn't that. It was

758
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:26.360
<v Speaker 2>really honestly a puff piece about Harball or not Harball

759
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:31.239
<v Speaker 2>but urban Meyer. But again, Tim Tebow and urban Meyer

760
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:33.199
<v Speaker 2>are interesting enough people to where you would still go

761
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:37.239
<v Speaker 2>through and put together a documentary highlighting that great run

762
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:39.559
<v Speaker 2>in Florida. Nobody knows what el Connor Stallions is, so

763
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:41.280
<v Speaker 2>if he's not gonna tell us anything.

764
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:41.960
<v Speaker 1>They wouldn't do it.

765
00:39:41.639 --> 00:39:44.360
<v Speaker 2>It make no sense. All right, quick break, we'll come

766
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.639
<v Speaker 2>back five o'clock hour on the other side. Stick with

767
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:54.599
