  Speaker 2: In the courts and create a national framework so the

  Speaker 2: people inside college boards can enforce fair rules. Without that

• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Teams have nominated one player each for each infield position
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: of DH three players for outfield. Fans will choose from
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: those nominees and they can write in votes. A proposed
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: future PGA Tour model that could take effect in two
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: years would include two tracks of tournaments, with players competing
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to remain on the top track and golfers in the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: lower track fighting to move up. It's really complicated. Track
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: one could include between fifteen and eighteen tour events, the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: four Majors and the players Championship. Out of those or
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: eight what would be called signature events, there will be
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: cuts at thirty six holes Arena. Sablenka snatched a feet
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: from the jaws of victory at the French Open Quarters today.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Sablenka was serving for the match at five to three
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: when she unraveled, dropped the next ten games. Afterwards, said
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: no thoughts, Diana Schneider was the winner. No thoughts, no emotions,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: just want to quit tennis. Right now, she said, We'll
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: see in a few days, hopefully I'll be back on
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: track mentally. And I meant to talk about this yesterday.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: We talked a little bit about it, but not enough.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: The Dallas Stars are moving to Plano and out of
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the American Airline Center. The team announcing has signed a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: non binding letter of intent to build an arena at
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: an entertainment district at the Shops at Willow Benn in Plano,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: far North Dallas. That's one day after the Mavericks announced
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: they want to build arena at the Valley View Mall
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: site in Far North Dallas. These teams have sued each
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: other in court. It's ridiculous for them to be building
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: separate arenas in my opinion, especially leaving an arena that's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: only twenty five years old. But they say that's what
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: they're going to do. Let's see m Yes, ob said,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: is Mike Evans not on the list?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I apologize if I just said Johnny Manziel, I thought
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I said. Johnny Manziel and Mike Evans are on that list.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: They are the two aggies on the ballot for the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Texas Sports Hall of Fame. So yes, sorry about that.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Mike Evans is on the list with Manzel, So there
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I think Menzel was on the ballot last year and
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: did not make it, So we'll see what happens this year.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: And we talked about this Monday. You know, he only
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: played two years, but hey, he did win Heisman Trophy.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: There are other things that come with that.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I understand that, but it goes back to the old
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame thing. Is is it sports only? Is
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: it for what you did on the field, or is
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: hall of Fame also after you know, the field, off
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the field stuff? So all right, we are going to
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, let me h, let me pull this
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: up because I have I have so much. I'm excited
• 10:02

• 10:10
  Speaker 2: is out this next week called Pressure. It is on
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: D Day, but it is really interesting. It focuses on
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the seventy two hours before D Day. It talks about
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: a lot about Dwight Eisenhower, the decision to do it,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the weather which we know was brutal on D Day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: The movie is called Pressure, and I'll visit with the
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: director on Monday's program. Tuesday, I'm going to be visiting

• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Does it say.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay, we'll figure it out. Okay, let's do this.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I said, we're gonna hear from Joel Clatt. We're gonna
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: hear from Joel Clatt. Joel Clatt, of course, is a
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports football analyst. He has a podcasts, he has
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: a TV show. SEC people says he hates the SEC.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Louis told me that this morning. I didn't know he
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: hated the SEC. I was Joel's big mentor. I think
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I've told that story before when he was first getting started,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: played football quarterback at the University of Colorado, came to Denver.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: It wasn't Denver. It was a big Maybe it wasn't
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Denver for big twelve media days.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know where it was.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: But Joel was new to the equipment, new to the business,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: and he only is in the business now because of me.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: So you can blame me if you don't like Joel Klatt.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I happen to like him. And let's hear what he
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: had to say about the SEC meetings this last week
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: and destined.
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: So I thought that we should recap what we learned
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: from the SEC Spring meetings, and I got to be honest.
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: It wasn't a lot. We thought that there would be
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: some information.
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: Remember, there was some anticipation about a potential playoff model
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: being backed by everybody else in college football. What would
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: the SEC come out and say and what did we
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: get propaganda? Awesome, let's get into it. The five things
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: that we learned in Destin, Florida at SEC Spring meetings.
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: Let's start with what Greg Sankie said, and it was basically, hey,
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: we're the best. And it was like, wait, how about
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: everything else that's going on in college football? We're just
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: gonna wash over that. We're not going to talk about
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: playoff formats or anything. We're just gonna sit here and
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: wave the flag. Yes, that's exactly what happened. This is
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: what he said.
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: Greg Sanki said, if you look at.
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: The entirety of our league, we are, by far, he said,
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: the most competitive, the strongest football league by far. What
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: you're going but you're going to lose games when it's
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: close and competitive like that. So we have so why
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: have they surpassed us? It's an oddball it's a bounce
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: a couple of times the wrong way. Okay, that is
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: I like Greg a lot. And here's the thing, what's
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: he supposed to say. Of course he's gonna say that.
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: Does the language go too far? Obviously? Obviously they are
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: not by far the best conference in college football, And candidly,
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: I don't even know if you can call them the
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: best conference in college football. Now here's the thing you
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: can get caught up in, just kind of like this
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: mud slinging and like we're the best, we're the best.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: Why don't we just go to the data? Why don't
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: we call balls and strikes? Because here's the thing. At
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: a meeting like that, Greg is saying this to a
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: group of writers who largely want that to be true,
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: and he's writing that to a group of consumers who
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: largely want that to be true. So at that point
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: he's just talking to his base, right, like that's his job.
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: So I'm not blaming him for saying this. But if
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: you go to the data, the datas suggests something very different.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: If you believe what he said deep down in your heart,
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: it's because you want to believe what he said. You
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: don't want to see the data you don't want to
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: see the truth, and that's fine, and that makes college
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: football great. By the way, if you're a fan and
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: you're mad right now because you since what I'm about
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: to talk about and you're thinking to yourself, like, no
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: way here he goes, that's fine because the.
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: Passion in our sport is what makes our sport great.
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: But what the data suggests is that what Greg said
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: is absolutely false, absolutely false.
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: Here's what the data suggests.
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: If you just go to the biggest games in the country,
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: the biggest games in college football, the College Football Playoff,
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: what you would see is something that we've talked about
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: and a lot of people have talked about. By the way,
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: the Big ten is four and oh over the SEC
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: over the last three playoffs. Four and oh is not
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: a small thing.
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: Now, it's not.
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: This is not twenty twelve. This is not twenty and
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: sixteen fifteen. I'm sorry, Like Nick Saban is no longer
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: there with his big old coat tails for you to
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: ride as a conference, it's not that way anymore.
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: And the actual data suggests something different.
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: And I know he was talking about a very narrow
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: definition of bet conference, but that's what they used forever forever.
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: So I'm using their own definition in terms of talking
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: about the championships.
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: But there's more.
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: But that's obviously the tip of the iceberg. Michigan beat
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: Alabama in overtime in twenty twenty three. Close game, really
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: great game. Ohio State blew the doors off of Tennessee.
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: Sorry about that, ballfans. In twenty twenty four, Ohio State
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: beat Texas. Great matchup in that semi final. Obviously the
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: Jack Sawyer play in twenty twenty four. Indiana blew the
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: doors off of Alabama and the Rose Bowl last year
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: in twenty twenty five, that game was not close. In fact,
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: here's what's interesting if you were to actually look at
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: some of these playoff games over the last three years,
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: in the time in which the Big Ten has won
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: three national championships, but not just three national championships with
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: three different programs. See, that's the interesting part that the
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: SEC teams don't want to talk about. This is not
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: one program that you can just point to and say, oh,
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: it's just one program somewhere else. Three different teams won
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: Natties in the Big Ten alone. And when you look
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: at some of the margins in the game games in
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: the CFP. You find something very interesting.
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: Check this out.
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: Two of the three largest margins in the playoff over
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: the last three years and power four versus Power four matchups. Okay,
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: so throw the group of five teams out, throw the
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: jmus and the two lanes and all of that out
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: if you're just talking about Power four versus Power four
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: interconference games. Indiana by thirty five over Alabama and Ohio
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: State by twenty five over Tennessee are two of the
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: three largest margins and all of the CFP Power four
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: versus Power four. So no, it's not just a bounce. Greg,
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry. It wasn't just a bounce. When Indiana ran
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: the ball fifty times at Alabama. It wasn't just a bounce.
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: When the death Star super Nova Buckeyes absolutely brought the wood.
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: To Tennessee, that wasn't even a game. It wasn't even
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: a game.
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: But you wouldn't have known that based on the commentary
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: in that game, because the commentary was safe for Haight
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: against Indiana in that year when they were getting beat
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: by Notre Dame in a game that was much closer
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: than what the Tennessee Ohio State game was.
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: But again, narrative what do you want to believe? Who
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: are you getting your news from?
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: Two of the three largest margins in the playoffs over
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: the last three years in Power four versus Power four
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: matchups are Indiana by thirty five over Bama and Ohio
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: State by twenty five over Tennessee. Where's the bounce there?
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: I'm not seeing the bounce there. Last three playoffs, the
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: SEC is two and five versus other Power four teams
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: plus Notre Dame two and five, not just zero to
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: four against the Big ten, two and five against all
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: other Power four conferences. In fact, did you know that
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: the only two Power four wins the SEC has over
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: other conferences in the playoff over that time frame both
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: Texas and twenty twenty four Clemson and then the double
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: overtime game against Arizona State.
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: How about the bounce there? Greg?
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: Do you think Arizona State has an argument because that
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: bounce in double overtime probably could have gone their way?
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: Do you see where I'm going with this?
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: See, Like, if you just want to lean in wholeheartedly
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: and be like, yeah, that's absolutely true, it's because you
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: want it to be true. You can go past the
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: CFP if you don't want to narrow it down to
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: the CFP and non cf people games. Last season, the
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: SEC went one in five against other powerful conferences like
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: this is supposedly like the strength here. This is supposed
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: to be where you're getting this depth out of this conference.
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: You see, I'm getting worked up because we constantly hear this,
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: and I understand that that's what they should say. But
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: it is narrative and it is false. It is false
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: backed up by the data. The data suggests something very different.
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: Two and five in the playoff and then non cf
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: people games, SEC went one in five. Illinois beat Tennessee,
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: Iowa beat Vanderbilt. No one likes to talk up Iowa
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: or Illinois. You don't see people in the Big ten
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: opping up Iowa and Illinois as some like world beaters.
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: But we get that out of the SEC when we're
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: talking about Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Texas did handle Michigan. That
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: was a great win for Texas. All call balls and strikes.
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: You come out and win some games this year. Texas
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: beats Ohio State, Oklahoma beats Michigan.
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: You dominating the CFPN.
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: Guess what you're back on top because we allow the
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: data here to tell us what's actually going on?
• 25:25
  Speaker 10: That's what I like to do. Think about it this way.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: We just saw the Cavs get swept by the Knicks, right,
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: you know, I mean, we're all sports fans.
• 25:34
  Speaker 10: Here was that a close series? I didn't think it was.
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: I mean, a sweep is a sweep?
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: And four sound familiar? Last three playoffs owing four big
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: ten SEC. James Harden, though, felt differently. He took the
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: Greg Zanking mold and he was like, you know what, genuinely,
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: I do feel like we are the better team.
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: I'm sorry.
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: Does anyone believe that? The answers no, So why would
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: anybody believe what Greg Sanki was saying?
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: It's not true.
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: It wasn't true that the Cavs are the better team
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: when they lost by thirty seven in the closeout game
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: in Game four, or lost by thirteen in Game three
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: at home, or lost by sixteen in game two?
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: Game one?
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: Was the only close game? Was that the bounce we're
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: talking about? Here's the deal. I will gladly call balls
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: and strikes. When you were the best conference, I said
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: you were the best conference. The SEC dominated the sport
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: for a long time, and it's been hard for them
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: to admit the truth. And you know what, you don't
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: have to admit the truth. But the propaganda is what
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: drives everybody else insane. You are not by far the
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: best conference, You're not even the best conference, and the
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: data backs that up.
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: So what do we learn?
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: They fell right back on their narrative, fell right back
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: on their narrative. What's number two of what we learned
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: at SEC media Day. They don't have a plan for
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: the CFP. I thought that we would get something along
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: the lines of backing some sort of structure.
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: We've seen that from every other league.
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: We've seen that from the AFCA American Football Coaches Association.
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: Everybody has been at least trying to back some sort
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: of CFP model. Now, in the past, Greg Sank has
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: backed a sixteen team model, but there.
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: Wasn't anything official. Last week.
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: Greg Zankee said via Ross Dellinger that the SEC's timeline
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: on the decision on a twenty four team CFP expansion
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: will likely come in the full so not in the
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: spring meetings. Okay, so there was nothing new and nothing beneficial.
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: They didn't put their stamp on or their name on
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: we favor of this model. We didn't even get like, no,
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: we wanted to stand pat We like twelve. We didn't
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: get the we like sixteen. We didn't get we like
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: twenty four. That's not what we got. We didn't get anything.
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: And that leads you to a conclusion. Here's the conclusion
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: that you can obviously reach for what went on in
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: Destin Florida and what's going on right now in the SEC.
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: I don't think they have any unification. They don't have
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: any consensus of what they want. I think that you've
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: got the coaches and athletic directors wanting one thing. I
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: think you've got a portion of the presidents wanting one thing.
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: I think you've got Greg and the office wanting another.
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: You've got their partner wanting another. And they don't have
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: a cohesive message right now. If they had a cohesive message,
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: we would have heard it. We would have heard it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: I think that they've got some dissension and the evidence
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: is that there was nothing that came out of the meetings.
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: What do you mean we'll have a decision on expansion
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: in the fall. I'm sorry. There's meetings in June for
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: the CFP and Denver, so you're not going to have
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: an answer by then, and let's just backtrack for a moment,
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: because remember the CFP and its format. It's only going
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: to change if the SEC and the Big ten agree
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: on a format change. Now again, I'm not sitting here
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: saying that you have to like the twenty four, you
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: have to like the twelve, or you have to like
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: the sixteen. It's just that we didn't hear anything from
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: the SEC, which tells me that they did not have
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: a consensus. They did not have a unified voice and
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: a meeting where they all pounded the table and said
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: the same thing. You saw that in every other conference.
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: I thought that was very fascinating. I think that they're
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: gonna try to filibuster.
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: He says.
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: A likely expansion decision will come in the fall, when
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: there's meetings in June.
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: You see.
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: The longer that they can just drag this out, then
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: nothing's going to change because the Big ten and the
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: SEC have to agree based on the memoral of understanding.
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: So they're just going to filibuster, which, by the way,
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: maybe not a bad strategy if you're the SEC. The
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: twelve team format with a selection based committee has really worked.
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: You got five teams in and partly because the narrative
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: which your partner and you push so heavily favors you, which.
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: That's great, that's great for them.
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: Okay, But obviously we operate in silos in college football,
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: and that's one of the silos that we're operating in here.
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: I think that the the the lack of unified voice
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: was something that was honestly, the silence deafening to me.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: I was like, Oh, they clearly have some major dissension
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: amongst all the decision makers in there. Maybe they're still
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: waiting to hear about the finances and how the finances
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: would shake out, because remember, I do think the two
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: most valuable conference championship games are the Big ten of
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: the SEC and maybe the SECS is a touch more
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: valuable in particular to them, which which is fine. And
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: so they would have to find out what are the
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: what are the finances of expansion if we get rid
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: of a conference championship game, how do we recoup that investment?
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: How do we recruit that revenue? Certainly, and that's something
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: that they're going to have to check out. So what
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: do we as a college football.
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: Fan base have to look out for? What's next?
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: Those CFP meetings in June, although based on Ross Dellinger's tweet,
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: I don't know if we're going to get much if
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: the SEC is not going to come with an idea
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: or back an idea by June.
• 31:09

• 36:22
  Speaker 1: There's a missing team there.
• 36:25
  Speaker 17: Uh, just now there's two missing teams. Who else is Missingessee?
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: That's right? But but uh, I think you picked UCLA
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: as well to be there?
• 36:37
  Speaker 18: Did you?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Did you not pick Ucla to be part of the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: super regionals?
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: I also picked Georgia Tech.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: And didn't you pick Uh? Did you pick Florida?
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: No?
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: I picked Miami.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Actually, oh yeah, that's right, you did. You lost out there,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: so did Florida. Florida lost out too. Uh, Ucla lost out,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech lost out. So I mentioned this, I think
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: on Monday. But the quality of college baseball, in my mind,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: has gotten better and better the last few years.
• 37:13
  Speaker 17: Yes, agreed, since they cut the draft from fifty to twenty,
• 37:17
  Speaker 17: it has gotten better and better.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Does INIL play any role in college baseball?
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: It does?
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: Okay, I think.
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: I know we're not going to have a big discussion
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: about softball.
• 37:34
  Speaker 17: Correct, But you've got one team in the finals that
• 37:37
  Speaker 17: is completely in IL built, and you got one team
• 37:42
  Speaker 17: in the finals.
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: That has in IL.
• 37:47
  Speaker 17: But a bunch of those girls wearing orange wanted to
• 37:49
  Speaker 17: go to Texas more than they wanted to make a paycheck.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, you're saying Texas Tech is there primarily because they're paid.
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: Only primarily only.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean I knew, I knew they made headlines
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: with the pitcher, you know, and that I would argue
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: despite them losing in the finals last year, they've pretty
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: much gotten their money's worth out of her.
• 38:13
  Speaker 17: Yeah, but they they spent three million dollars this year
• 38:18
  Speaker 17: for the other six players on the field.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, so.
• 38:24
  Speaker 17: In IL if you if you want to look at
• 38:28
  Speaker 17: that as compared to everybody else, if all of a
• 38:34
  Speaker 17: sudden you told Jerry Jones, everybody in the NFL has
• 38:37
  Speaker 17: a syarhy cap except you can you make changes in
• 38:42
  Speaker 17: what your program is, Well, you probably can't. Now, the
• 38:47
  Speaker 17: team that spent the most on nil.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Was LSU in baseball or softball at baseball, Okay, in baseball,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: that didn't work out for them, didn't work out for them. Yeah,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: you stef have to coach stiff to have team chemistry.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: It's like pro sports, now, yes, because you look at
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: all of these culture Yeah, all of that stuff actually
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: does matter. It does matter coaching matters. Yes, yes, coaching
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: does matter.
• 39:12
  Speaker 17: I mean, does Kentucky basketball look better because they got
• 39:16
  Speaker 17: the guy from Iowa State.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I'm civic to change to them. They better be better.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm just telling you that they better be better.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they paid. Have you seen any
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: figures thrown out?
• 39:28
  Speaker 18: Not?
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure it's exorbitant. It's enough to keep
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: him in college, not the NBA draft. It was enough
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: for him to leave because I think he was he
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: was going to be a fairly high draft pick because
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: he's one of the best shooters in the country and
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: he was the best shooter in college basketball last year.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, throw out a figure three four
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: five million?
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: You think he got five to seven and a half
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: at Kentucky at Kentucky.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, And look, we already know this.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Because of the money being spent, there's, if it's possible,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: there's even more pressure on these coaches. Pope was gonna
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: have pressure whether or not I'm Sielovich came or not.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: But now that they've written that check for this guy,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I mean massive pressure on him.
• 40:15
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: If they don't win, yeah, yeah, he's out, He's out. Yeah,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: no doubt he's out.
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Uh thoughts on USC this weekend at Olsen.
• 40:26
  Speaker 9: How did they not hit the rest of the year.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they hit the heck out of the ball.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: They caught the ball that shortstops very impressive player.
• 40:34
  Speaker 17: Well, I'm just saying they had played ten you know,
• 40:38
  Speaker 17: they had gone one and nine and top twenty five.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying they had a bad They had a
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: bad last three weeks of the season, probably right, But.
• 40:47
  Speaker 17: But to go one in nine against that the top
• 40:51
  Speaker 17: twenty five RPI teams. Okay, so you played ten games,
• 40:55
  Speaker 17: so you played forty five games against ones that weren't
• 40:58
  Speaker 17: below that.
• 40:58
  Speaker 9: That's what I looked at.
• 40:59
  Speaker 17: Two said, I didn't just look at a two seventy
• 41:02
  Speaker 17: five batting average in those ten games. That I'm saying,
• 41:06
  Speaker 17: if you didn't play anybody in the other forty five games,
• 41:09
  Speaker 17: why is your offense not very elevated?
• 41:13
  Speaker 9: Okay? And then to come here and hit like they did, was,
• 41:18
  Speaker 9: you know, amazing for them.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Well, again, in any tournament atmosphere, we talked every year
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: it's not necessarily the best team, but the team that's
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: playing the best at the right time, and they chip.
• 41:35
  Speaker 17: Saturday, every single outlet talking head. Every single one. After
• 41:43
  Speaker 17: UCLA lost the first game on Friday, every single one
• 41:48
  Speaker 17: of them said, after watching Georgia Tech go to and zero,
• 41:52
  Speaker 17: that was your national champion. There is no doubt without UCLA,
• 41:58
  Speaker 17: Georgia Tech is your national champion team. No one looks
• 42:02
  Speaker 17: as good as them, No one has played as good
• 42:05
  Speaker 17: in April and May as they are.
• 42:07
  Speaker 9: That is your national champion.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Don't you have to get to omahat to be vying
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: for a national championship? Yes, okay, I thought, so. Make
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: sure they haven't changed things.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 42:22
  Speaker 17: That's you know, you get Oklahoma to hit up a
• 42:26
  Speaker 17: walk off home run that just gets over the fence.
• 42:30
  Speaker 9: That's how close you can be, No doubt.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: Seed A and An M.
• 42:35
  Speaker 17: Save pitching in the first game against USC for the
• 42:38
  Speaker 17: second game. Therefore, that game was not competitive the first
• 42:42
  Speaker 17: time they played, after USC got ahead of A and M. Okay,
• 42:46
  Speaker 17: it's a great game. The other night, Monday night was
• 42:48
  Speaker 17: a great game. Fresh Corn the first two big hits
• 42:54
  Speaker 17: against him, he left to pitch up the one for
• 42:57
  Speaker 17: the three run home run. That guy went and got
• 42:59
  Speaker 17: a good pitch and drove it over the bullpen out
• 43:03
  Speaker 17: into you know, on the other side almost got the
• 43:05
  Speaker 17: railroad track.
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: It's a great piece of hitting. Tip your hat to
• 43:08
  Speaker 9: that guy. He did it on a good pitch, so
• 43:12
  Speaker 9: you know.
• 43:13
  Speaker 17: But I think this showed that the inconsistency of A
• 43:19
  Speaker 17: and M pitching is the reason why USC's USC's perceive
• 43:24
  Speaker 17: weakness was hitting, and they played at a championship level
• 43:29
  Speaker 17: to advance. A and M's perceive weakness was pitching. They
• 43:33
  Speaker 17: didn't pitch at a championship level in all the games,
• 43:37
  Speaker 17: and that's why USC advances.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, real quickly, we have to have a break.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: But how much difference would Aiden Sims have made this weekend?
• 43:50
  Speaker 17: Well, he was on the roster, he was he had
• 43:54
  Speaker 17: been pitching, and whatever happened the last practice session that
• 43:59
  Speaker 17: put him out, change this to you.
• 44:03
  Speaker 9: You got what you ended up with. I don't think
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: USC advances if Aiden Simms pitches.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: That was my question. Yes, it was asked by I.
• 44:14
  Speaker 17: Don't think that A and M loses to South Carolina
• 44:16
  Speaker 17: when John Stilson didn't pitch in the College World Series
• 44:20
  Speaker 17: when A and M had waka and stripling to get
• 44:23
  Speaker 17: to the College World Series. But they played that first
• 44:26
  Speaker 17: game with South Carolina and even if you only said
• 44:30
  Speaker 17: John Stilson your closer when you were an All American
• 44:33
  Speaker 17: the year before.
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: I you know you come back close.
• 44:37
  Speaker 17: And when you get that injury to your key guy,
• 44:41
  Speaker 17: it's really hard to overcome it.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: When it a break, we will come back. Scott Clindented

  Speaker 9: Win?
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: This steak from what you've seen this week in Georgia yeah, yes, okay,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: the top seed remaining right, the number three overall seed
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: with UCLA and Georgia tech out.
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: Now, if for some reason.
• 50:12
  Speaker 17: In Omaha the field place bigger than it has the
• 50:16
  Speaker 17: last couple of years, because there's been a lot more
• 50:19
  Speaker 17: offense the last four or five.
• 50:20
  Speaker 9: Years in Omaha, right than when they went to the
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: new stadium.
• 50:24
  Speaker 17: Yeah, that could hurt Georgia, but unfortunately, I'm thinking Georgia.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 50:32
  Speaker 17: By the way, Yeah, six million dollars is what the
• 50:36
  Speaker 17: Kentucky Wildcats played.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Six million, six million housers crazy.
• 50:43
  Speaker 17: Yes, and they got him over Louisville, who already had
• 50:48
  Speaker 17: spent twenty million on a roster.
• 50:51
  Speaker 9: They got.
• 50:53
  Speaker 17: Badunga from Kansas, Shelstead, the Oregon Combo guard, Carter Nots
• 51:01
  Speaker 17: from Arkansas, and then a five star smer A Center.
• 51:04
  Speaker 9: Okay, so you know that that's probably up the ante
• 51:09
  Speaker 9: when you went to your Kansas people and said, I
• 51:11
  Speaker 9: mean Kentucky people.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Yea, hey, look at that roster.
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: We need a million more. He's going to go play
• 51:16
  Speaker 9: at Louisville.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, wow, that's they've always ponied up.
• 51:20
  Speaker 9: When he said, but they'll go play at Louisville.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like Monopoly mighty being tossed around, which
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: is why Nick Saban testified today at Capitol Hill and
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: ask for this bill to be passed, the Protect College
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: Sports Act, which would limit athletes to transferring schools one
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: time without penalty. They haven't said what that penalty may be.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Limiting athletic eligibility to a maximum of five years.
• 51:52
  Speaker 9: No more richards five to play five. That's going to
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: pass on.
• 51:57
  Speaker 11: In UH.
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: Three on the twenty second.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Why why is that?
• 52:03
  Speaker 9: Because the NCAA is already gonna change that rule.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, at prohibiting former professional athletes from playing in college
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: makes sense.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: To me, it makes sense.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: But of course at prohibiting one more, prohibiting schools from
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: poaching a coach from another school during the season. It's
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: called the lame Kiffin rule in the Protect College Sports Act.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Like tattoo U, Saban says, the bill isn't perfect. I'm
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: sure many many adjustments need to be made, but he
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: wants that bill passed.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: So we'll see.
• 52:38
  Speaker 9: What is the SEC in the Big Ten?
• 52:40
  Speaker 11: One?
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Oh, yes, are they ford or against it?
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: There?
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Getting okay, the the SEC.
• 52:49
  Speaker 17: And the Big Ten who are at each other's through
• 52:51
  Speaker 17: tried now, Yes, came out with a dual statement, a
• 52:54
  Speaker 17: combo statement yesterday.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: And what's their reason for being against it?
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Let me let me okay, yeah, find that and uh,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: while while you're while you're doing that, I have rejoined
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: the National Football Football Foundation so I can vote for
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame this year. So I've paid my
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: dues and I will go in and I have to vote.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's before July the first, and I'm just
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: now looking at all the rules. How many players at
• 53:29
