• 0:49
  Speaker 1: now on to the topic of today's show, and it
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: is we're back to talking about the house settlement and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: it just when you thought, you know, just when you
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: thought it was safe to go back in the water. No,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: not necessarily. So what's it's going to mean for the future. Well,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we're gonna try and sort that out today with our
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: buddy Tony gerdermanefuck i huddle dot com. There is some
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: new reporting from Ross Dellinger on a whole bunch of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: this stuff. New folks in Washington are weighing in on
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff. Tony, Let's start with sort of
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: where things picked up the you know, pick things up
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: where we left off the last time the House Settlement
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: went into effect. Then Congress decided, okay, we're gonna do that.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have to score Act. So that's gonna solve things.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: That's where we where we left things. That Congress was
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: maybe going to weigh in on this stuff.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: But now we got to go back.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Now this stuff we thought was settled the House Settlements
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: right in there, settlement, it's right eat in the words settlement.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: We thought, okay, this is settled.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Great now so.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Now that sides are fighting about exactly what collectives can
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and can't do, and what we thought was settled is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: maybe not so settled.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the the nil go and then the College Sports
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Commission arm of the the nil like, are these legit
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: you know, you put in your NIL package or your
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: you say, your deal, your your endorsement deal or whatever
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: you submitted to nil GO, And a lot of these
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: were getting pushed back.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: The collective based deals are getting pushed back. And there
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: then there was like a memo sent out to the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: schools or to the to the collectives and just anybody
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: who wanted it, basically saying that collectives aren't like a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: legitimate business and so don't try to submit stuff where
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the collective will create a school or a signing, an
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: autograph signing for the very purpose of paying the players.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And it's like that under the nil GO and their rules,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and then the College Sports Commission rules, that's not a
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: viable that's not a legitimate business. You can't have a
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: business that is only meant to just pay the players
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: for their their existence, basically. And so the attorneys and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the plaintiffs the House settlement are like whoa, whoa, whoa,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: whoa why not? And so that's kind of where we
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: are now, and there's discussion with attorneys about should collectives
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: be considered legitimate businesses, and the entire point of the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: House Settlement and coming up with these rules and the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Score Act is that basically they aren't really legitimate businesses,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: but attorneys are talking now and so we'll see what happens.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I think if they are meant to or if they
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: allowed to be legitimate businesses, then people say, well, it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: just going to go back to the wild West. But
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: at least at least you'll know the rules if it
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: does go back to that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And this week Greg Sankee, the SEC Commissioner, was
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: talking at SEC Media Days and basically sort of reiterated that,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you know, no understanding is that they collectives are not
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: really supposed to be you know, they're not really legitimate
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in the in the nil world.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So where that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Could end up is the two sides are talking and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: they're sort of sortin stuff out. This could end up
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: going back in front of a judge, not necessarily the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: same judge, as a different judge who's potentially going to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: be administrating this whole thing. So it could go back
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in front of a judge to get settled there. So
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that is one possible way that this could all get
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: sorted out. What's the timeline on.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: That shrug emoji?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: We love the shrug emoji, so we're getting to use
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: it a lot these days in college sports.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: So heck, what's one more time? So let me ask
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: you to, like, what's the point of settling for the
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: NCAA or the College Sports Commission if it if they
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: can just leave it up to a magistrate, and then
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: maybe they'll have to Maybe the magistrate may give them
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: their way, the magistrate may side with the NCAA and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the College Sports Commission, And I'll go so, why would
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: they they just go ahead and agree to the plaintiff's
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: demands if they don't if they could get a judgment on.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Their side, well, and then you could make the exact
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: same argument from the player's slash agent side, which is,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: why would they settle if the magistrate could decide to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: allow this to continue to be a thing. So yeah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: no one is really incentivized to settle here. Everyone is
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: sort of incentivized to dig in.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And then you know, and.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much you're gonna be able to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: split the baby on this one where you can sort
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of find some middle ground compromise that leaves everyone equal
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: parts mad and happy.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know where that line.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Would really be in this case, So that will that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: may mean congratulations, you get to go back before judge
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: again and we'll get to wait out another court decision.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So that's one possibility on how this all gets settled.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: The second thing is we think we talked about the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: last time, which is the Score Act, that was the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: legislation that was kind of getting fast tracked in Congress,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and it was you know, you sort of looked at
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it and there was a lot of it that was, boy,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: this is a lot of the stuff that the NCAA
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and the schools would like, and you know, are the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: players getting enough in this deal? And there was you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: some initial pushback already from Congress on some preliminary stuff there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And we played a clip from some congressman the last
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: time we talked about this, But it feels like that's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: now getting some additional pushback and so maybe that may
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: not be able to be the solution here.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And as we said before, this is all, I
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: guess part of the process. These are the steps that
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you need to take, and it's just going to be
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: part of the discussion. Like you've got a base here
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and now you build upon it to where you get
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: something where everybody is happy enough, as you said, but
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the fact that it was bipartisan was good because you're
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: not just ignoring one party, but you still have to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: get the rest of the party on board and you
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: keep the lawyers at bay. And so, yeah, like this
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: is all like this is a living organism that you're
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: trying to basically cage so that it doesn't get any larger.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Like this is I think that's how you're supposed to
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: raise ten Chilla's basically like don't don't let them out
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of the cage. They'll just run over your house. So
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: just trying to get all of this under control and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: various steps and of course time you know there's another
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: step coming that's going to try to help as well.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so now that we have two sides very angry
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and yelling at each other, Tony, what is going to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: be who can step in and save the day and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: unite the people?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Tony.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I you'd hope it would be someone whose name would
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: not inspire you know, strong emotions in both directions from
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: everyone involved on you know, in the United States, Tony,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: great news, Tony Thursday Ross ellinggery reporting that the President
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of the United States, you know him, you have whatever
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: feelings you have about him, pro orcon whatever feelings you have,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you have them. So he is now looking
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: at trying to issue in executive order doing something from
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the executive branch rather than the legislative branch. Johnny, we
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: have done you. We have hit the legislative branch. We
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: have hit the judicial bandaged branch. What the heck, let's
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: make it a hat trick. We'll hit the executive branch.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: How is the executive branch potentially going to solve this issue?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Well, an executive order is a strong suggestion, basically, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the point would be to one provide college leaders with
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: protection from anti trust laws, which is one of the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: major concerns through this whole thing, prevent unqualified and unscrupulous
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: agents from representing athletes, which is an ongoing issue has
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: also been talked about with the Score Act, and then
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: just supporting a unanimity and getting all of these rules
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and ensuring that everybody's playing by the same rule. So
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of this is basically what the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Score Act wants. So I don't know if this is
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: just a nice little shove in the direction or just
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: an endorsement. Because it covers a lot of the same
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: pieces of what the Score Act would like. I don't
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: know if the Executive Order aspect of it is going
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: to now eliminate some Democrats from wanting to sign with
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the Score Act. So yes, as you said, by God,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: here comes Donald Trump's music and he's running down to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the ring to let his thoughts be known.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm sure, Tony, in these divided times, I'm sure
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: our friends in Washington will come together to solve the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: problems that seems to be the spirit, that is the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: spirit that is pervading our nation's capital now and forever.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: So yes, well, we will see whether which of these,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Tony will finally decide which of these three branches is
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the best. Will it be the executive, will be the legislative,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: will it be the judicial? Only one way to find
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: out by watching what happens with the future of college sports.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: What a time to be alive.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: SummerSlam, Love it, love it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Let's let's just decision Decision twenty five semi colon Summer Slam.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I'm all for it. Let's see. Let's see what happens
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: with the future of college sports and whoever, whichever branch
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: is the best and solves this problem we will find
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: out all together at Buckeye Huddle dot com. And then
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: when we do, we'll actually get to cover some football too.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Won't that be fun to cover actual sports and not
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: just politics? Can't wait? So this does? This did feel
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: like I know these shows are not probably everyone's favorite,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: but this does feel like, you know, this is the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: how the sausage gets made kind of show. Why are
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: things the way they are? Well, this is why things
• 10:44

• 10:47
  Speaker 1: be in the next six to twelve months.

• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Try and figure that out together. But when we do,
• 10:52
