• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Back with Tom Moore of the ukon men's basketball coaches.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I got one comment nationally top, how are these schools
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: football schools primarily letting coaches go and paying off these
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: bills of fifty and sixty million dollars to these coaches
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: that they've just fired.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: It seems impossible.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I think what you're seeing at some of these places,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Mike is like the donor, the incredibly wealthy donor influence
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: on decisions, right, Like, the coaches have to be careful
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: what they ask for at that level because if they're
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: begging their donors to get a football salary cap of
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: thirty five forty forty five million dollars, and that's coming
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: mostly from really wealthy donors, as soon as they lose
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: two or three games in a row, that same wealthy
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: donor is going to say, like, I don't want this
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: guy anymore.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: So some schools have incredible money.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know how they can afford to pay off
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: a buyout like we saw with Brian Kelly or James Franklin.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: But these schools have it. These don't owners have it.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: But it's a scary time for obviously you're seeing it
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: at the highest level football schools, where again you're asking
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: these people to help fund your team. At the first
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: sign of underachieving, they're going to have a say with
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: the athletic director and they're going to watch you out.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: So it's a scary time.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: The governor of Louisiana just said publicly the athletic director
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: at LSU is not picking the next coach.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: When I heard that, I had to shut off whatever
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I was watching. I couldn't watch. That made me sick.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Only in Louisiana, Right, it's a different set of rules
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: down there, I guess.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about schedules, right, This year a big one.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Husky's taken on six top twenties in the opening two months.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Dan talked a little bit about that it's important you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: want high seating, but it's also important, isn't it as
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a national kind of an image Like Yukon certainly has
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: that championship image with six trophies on the men's side,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: twelve on the women, But it seems as if the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: men got to go out there and take on anybody.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my coach has always wanted to challenge himself with
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: the best and play the best brands too as well.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Now there's another layer to it where we're trying to
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: maximize financially, maximize our dollars that we can make in
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: these games too as well. So things broke really well
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: for us this year where we'll get two opportunities to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: play at MSG, and we'll get an opportunity to play
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: in Boston. Those are all three of those are really
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: lucrative opportunities for us. And then the two home games
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: against Texas and Arizona are obviously lucrative too as well
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: because they're on our home campus and then we go
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: away only one time to Kansas and they'll come back
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: to us next year.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So it's coaches really. He pushes a lot.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I'm doing a lot of the non conference scheduling and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: it takes up a lot of mind, time and energy.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Jason Bettikolfer helps out with that too as well, but
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: he's pushing me all the time to get the best brands,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the elite brands, and also trying to make sure it
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: lines up financially for us to do well that way
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: too as well. So this year it worked out great
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: on both ends. We're heavily at work with next year's
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: schedule to try to replicate that and I think, like
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: he said in an earlier clip, with us getting one
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: more game next year allowed by the NCAA, I think
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: we'll try to go for seven high made games. So
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: it helps you with the net, it helps you with
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: select and therefore it helps you with on selection Sunday too.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Well, looking forward to it. Tom.
• 3:27

• 3:30
