  Chris Sarkisian was also asked, you know they're talking in terms of injury reports.
• 0:04
  Uh, now in college football? Do you like this idea? And
• 0:08
  I'll see they you know, they were asking him, how do how do
• 0:10
  you keep teams? Truthfully, says, well, you know, I think
• 0:13
  you may have to have some sort of a fining system. That's what they
• 0:15
  do in the NFL. The NFL has figured it out. Don't reinvent the
• 0:19
  will What is your thoughts on an injury report in college football? It's gonna
• 0:25
  become essential with gambling. And I think that's the reason, and it's why
• 0:31
  it's done in the NFL. It's it's pure and simple. It's to protect
• 0:35
  that. And they will not say that because that's taboo. It's like,
• 0:40
  you know, they they are benefiting NFL does in college football, will benefit
• 0:46
  so much from gambling, but yet they will not ever admit, oh,
• 0:50
  gambling. Oh no, that's that's the no. Let's let's not look there,
• 0:53
  let's not look under that. But that's it. That's the reason.
• 0:56
  And those of us that have been in the NFL know that that that's kind
• 0:59
  of the right way to do it. But you know, in college it
• 1:03
  was always tabooo, we don't do that. I think it's essential. Now
• 1:07
  it's going to be up to I think the SEC the big tend to kind
• 1:10
  of take charge like it is and everything to try to figure out how to
• 1:12
  do it and how to police it. You can do it, but as
• 1:17
  we've discussed in college athletics, everybody kind of does their own thing. So
• 1:22
  how do you deal with it when you have an SEC team playing a Big
• 1:26
  ten team? You know, this is part of the problem. And I
• 1:29
  always talk about is I'm not saying we need some commissioner that's going to you
• 1:34
  know, you know, strike the gavel and tell everybody what to do.
• 1:38
  No, but we need to have uniformity in college football. We need to
• 1:41
  have uniformity with officials. You know, we shouldn't have SEC or Big ten
• 1:45
  officials. We should have college football officials. And you know, if you
• 1:49
  want to put them geographically depend on where they live and put groups inside.
• 1:53
  But you need to have also universal policies that everyone needs to follow. This
• 2:00
  is one of them. I think it's essential. It's it's essential due to
• 2:04
  gambling, because without it then you run the risk of having some integrity issues,
• 2:10
  which is that's the one thing we can't have We cannot have that in
• 2:15
  any sport. It's the one thing that I think fears most administrators in sports
