  Chris Let's shift to college fall real quick. Cohi, I got you for
• 0:02
  a few more minutes, talk big picture, SEC, Big ten. Obviously,
• 0:07
  this alliance and I don't not even alliance, This advisory committee that they
• 0:11
  formed about a month ago, has hit the gas quickly. And uh,
• 0:15
  even though we got now the twelve team playoff, you know, obviously,
• 0:18
  conversations about going to fourteen sixteen, the SEC and Big ten saying hey,
• 0:23
  we want automatic qualifiers. It could be three, it could be four.
• 0:26
  We want to on the the high percentage of rev share versus the ACC and
• 0:31
  the Big twelve and even Notre Dame. It looks like Greg Sanki and Tony
• 0:36
  Pettti are trying to quickly put a stranglehold on on college sports. Or maybe
• 0:43
  this is their way of and this is just speculation saying hey, look we're
• 0:46
  gonna we're gonna totally stress this thing to the mix, and when we can't
• 0:51
  get what we want, then we're gonna that'll be our way out of here,
• 0:53
  and we're gonna do what we want to do here. I think structurally
• 1:00
  having and moving towards two mega conferences. I know they are two mega,
• 1:07
  but expanding them even more, which the SEC doesn't seem like it is the
• 1:11
  appetite to expand, but getting almost like an a SCNSC version in college football.
• 1:19
  I mean, I could see that structurally being the way to go down
• 1:23
  the future if the SEC and the Big ten are going to do it bigger
• 1:26
  and better than everyone else. And I think adding you know, the right
• 1:30
  teams and maybe having a different set of rules and how you do it,
• 1:34
  and have a structure that's maybe a little bit more NFL like where you have
• 1:38
  to win a division in four let's say, have four divisions in each conference
• 1:44
  something like that. That's what I think structurally makes sense. I do not
• 1:48
  like, I will tell you I do not like guaranteeing a conference X amount
• 1:53
  of teams. How can you do? I mean, what are you saying?
• 1:57
  Isn't that what messed up the bulls? Remember when the bowl games years
• 2:00
  ago, at least I do. I'm old enough too, that it was
• 2:04
  rewarded with the best teams. Now you just well, it's the third team
• 2:07
  from the SEC and the third teams from the fourth teams the Big twelve,
• 2:12
  and you we're gonna put this, well, we're gonna yeah, and we'll
• 2:14
  put Kentucky and West Virginia in about I mean, we want that in the
• 2:17
  playoffs? What if I mean, what if they don't have four teams from
• 2:23
  the Big Ten that are deserving? I mean, what would I mean?
• 2:28
  Why not just to me, let's pick the best teams. And I get
• 2:32
  it, if you win your conference that is that maybe should mean something.
• 2:38
  But now we're going to guarantee the second team or the third team, And
• 2:42
  it's why don't we just determine who the best teams are? And I just
• 2:47
  think from a pure fundamental understanding of who the best teams are, let's determine
• 2:54
  that and have a certain criteria. Maybe the committee is not the only way
• 2:59
  to do it, but I just don't buy that. You just can't say
• 3:04
  that that the third best team in a given conference is automatically should be in
• 3:09
  or deserving to be in. I don't buy that. Now we could do
• 3:13
  that for ten years, Jacob, and it might be that four from each
• 3:17
  league deserve to be it. Great, put them in because they deserve it,
• 3:22
  But to predetermine it before the start of the season, I don't.
• 3:25
  I don't like that, But I think you just hit on it. The
• 3:30
  power and the stroke that they have. Why do they want that? Well,
• 3:35
  of course, it makes the conference stronger, it makes the the profile
• 3:38
  of the league stronger. It only helps when they go do future television deals,
• 3:44
  et cetera, et cetera, etcetera. It makes more money. I
• 3:46
  get it. I get it, But just from a fundamental you know,
• 3:51
  fairness of competition, it's not the way to just hey, well it doesn't
• 3:55
  matter. You're not have to earn it. You just got to be one
• 3:58
  of the four best. I don't in your conference at that. I don't
• 4:00
  buy that. Hey, make sure to follow him on x Landry Football also
