• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You, hey, Jake, Thanks for having me on. How are
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you Bill?
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: We're good.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: We've got so much going on here in the world
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: of sports, you know that, from the professional side down
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: to the college World Series, and then there's the ongoing
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: talks at SEC spring meetings, what to do with this
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: playoff everything at Washington with you know, Ted Cruz and
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Maria Cantwell's bill that they're putting out here. Bill, I
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: found this line funny. I wanted to get your your
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: thoughts from Maria Cantwell. She said, if the quote media right,
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: where if the media rights are pulled? The bill is
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: written to encourage conferences to return to a more regional competition,
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: and eventually Cantwell hopes that the leagues to return to
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: their previous regional makeup. She says, regionalism feels a lot.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Regionalism feeds a lot more sports viewership. So people have
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: been having fun on the text line and over the
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: last twenty minutes, like how far back does she want
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: us to return to? Is Swanee coming back to the SEC?
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know some of us long for that a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: little bit. I do on some level, Like you rewind
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: time and go back to the Big Ten in nineteen
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: eighty four, and there were ports of that I like.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But as I've said, Jake, like you and I wouldn't
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: be friends if college football didn't go national, correct, you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like when I was growing up
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in Central Ohio, I didn't really watch the SEC with
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of fervor or care. You know, you knew
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: who the helmets were, but you didn't know the inside
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: stories that you guys know down there.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And getting to learn those traditions and watch and care about,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you know, SEC football and their fans, it's been really
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: cool and I wouldn't. I think she has a point
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: though that some of the regionalism has been lost, but
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that's the cost when you grow the game nationally.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Like we have Bill Bender on your radio talking National
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: College Football. Wind the edition to the program, So you
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: got that going on. I'm very much a pessimist on
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: anything coming out of these see I don't expect that
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: thing to get off the ground. Now what's interesting, though, Bill,
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: is I didn't realize this. You probably knew this that
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: they need if it can somehow get off the floor.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: And I'm paraphrasing here, they need to. They have a
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: minimum threshold of seventy five percent of the one hundred
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: and thirty eight FBS schools to reach. You know this
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: this collective, you know, revenue stream coming in here says
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: if the SEC and Big ten didn't sign off on
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: it and everybody else did, they would be over that
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: seventy five percent. I don't see Notre Dames signing off
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: on something like this. Is this a real possibility that
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: the SEC and Big ten may have to eat a
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: revenue share of all of college football?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I hold not. I mean, I gues but you know
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: when you hear talk about those conferences breaking away, I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: hope that doesn't happen either. You know, it's the SEC
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: were to break away from the rest of college football
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: at the Big ten, then you're leaving out a large
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: portion of the country. And this is the needle. We
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: have to thread the NFL, which you and I talked
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: about all the time. I mean, I think where they've
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: got college football lick is they do you care about
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a Jacksonville Houston game. You find a reason to care,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: whether it's fantasy football or something else, or you know
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: who the players are, and you know, granted there are
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: some Thursday nights snoosers, I'm not saying that, but they
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: find a way that makes you care across the across
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the entire country. And despite college football being the national game,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's quite the same.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: No, I would agree with you. I would agree with
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: you one hundred percent.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: And when you look at the SEC down at the
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: spring meetings, you've got a smorgas board of comments. I mean,
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: obviously Greg Sankee at least publicly is saying, hey, look
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: we're not coming off the sixteen teams.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: You got Danny White at Tennessee saying, hey, we need
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: more uh you know, need more opportunities. So he's for
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: the twenty four Kirby Smartest saying hey, I'm here for
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: the breakaway. Let's let's get it on. So, I mean
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: it is across the board. Everybody's got their opinions down.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: There a lot to sort out, and you know, not
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: just pointing. You know, I think with the twenty fourteen
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: playoff and there was more division than I thought there
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: would be. You know, you saw it the Big Ten.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: It was pretty everybody in locksteps saying the same thing,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: giving us the same quote sixteen times. Not so much
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: at the SBC meeting, some different topics being spread around.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I kind of tend to agree with Greg Thanky that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think we're like it's imminent, but they may
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: head and toward that direction. And I'm surprised there's very
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: little to know talk about a sixteen team format, so
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that that's the first step in them skipping right through
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that and going to twenty four So it could be inevitable.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I get where the coaches are coming from. But I
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: really liked what Mike Elko said, you know, and that's
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: kind of where I stand on it. It's like it
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: has to be hard. It should be hard to get
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: into the playoff. It does mean something. You know, he's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: channeling Jimmy Diggan from a league of their own. But
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you know, you want to be great, you wanted to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: mean something.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: No, I agree with you one hundred percent.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: Let's let's stay at college fool and pivot over to
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: the Brendan Soresby saga. Obviously, the NCAA is saying no
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: way know how on reinstatement, and I totally get their
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: stance on this. But if I'm reading this correctly, this
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: will now go to a local court and very similar
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: a totally different scenarios, but very similar to Trinidad Chamberlass
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: and some others we've seen. A Lubbock judge could allow
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: him to play in twenty six. Is that correct?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: This could happen Monday. I don't think it will, but
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I would never rule it out. As you and I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: both know college football never disappoints in that regard, but
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it could and if it does, I mean, I think
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I'm trying not to use too much hyperbole, but I've
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: used words like catastrophic, chaotic. If you have a system
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: where they allow players who have bet on games to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: continue playing, and all you have to do is I'm
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: not minimizing gambling addictions by any means, but if you
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: go to rehabit then you can play man. That opens
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: up a huge can of worms to the integrity of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the game and I think that would happen. So that's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: why I think he won't get it. But again, college
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: football at times governed by high emotions more than logic,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and who knows what's been on Monday.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: So let's say he obviously you know, again, there's two things. One,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: if a judge was to alive him to play, then
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: that just totally almost wrecks anything. The NCAA says it's
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: almost there any way. But let's say that a judge
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: doesn't allow him to play. What's what's the options for Soresby.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, obviously we want him to, you know, course
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: correct on all of his you know, things that are
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: going to personally. But from a football standpoint, what can
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: he do?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I pray end up the supplemental draft, right or maybe
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's something I should probably look into.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Is could he go play an I n ai A
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: or you know, something like that, a lower level DOCO
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and then come back. I guess that would be seasible.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know how that would help him developmentally. I mean,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: he's very quarterback, but I think supplemental draft would be
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the next discussion we would have, and maybe he would
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: face a punishment at the NFL level, But then maybe
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: again he wouldn't because he you know, he wasn't betting
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: on NFL games at the time, So I think those
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: would be the options. Probably the most viable option too,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: is to give him an outlet to the supplemental Draft
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and then if he continues his career as a free agent,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: we go from there. But again think about the money
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: involved from the nil piece of that, and this will
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: be this is a gambling case, but there are other cases,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and that's just going to continue to happen.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Get him on X You could find him at Bill
• 9:37

• 10:51
  Speaker 5: from Matt Hay source. Pete Golding tells the NCAA because
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: obviously all misses backround of the microscope. He says, go
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: after me and I'll I'll expose the system. Very interesting me.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: What do you think about Pete Golding doing a little
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Mike Gundy there?
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So I saw that and I thought, was so
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: you tough guy, tough guy number one. Oh, tough talk,
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: tough talk. I'm a tough guy. I'll expose it like
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: you have some privileged inside info that no one else
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: has no weather. Coaches have witnessed what you have. Okay,
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: we'll do it. Do it then, quote expose the system?
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Peter? Are we now referencing him as Peter?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Would that be his birth name? You think.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Polymarket just reported this too? A fifty three year old
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Canadian says chat GPT led him to quote lose his
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: grip on reality and eventually convinced him to apply to
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: be the pope. It's very random and weird. Do you
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: think that's mean? Can AI really do that?
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Wait? What?
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: I'm lost? Hold on say that again?
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: A fifty three year old Canadian man says chat GPT
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: led him to lose his grip on reality and eventually
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: convinced him to apply to be pope.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: You never had a grip on reality.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't think I wouldn't think so either. Let's see here,
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: also says from break mc murphy. This just came out
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: from Arkansas. He says, is uh ticked? How did he
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: put it? Arkansas is pissed at the SEC and ESPN.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: So let's read this together. I don't even know what
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: this says Vice Chancellor of Director of Athletics Hunter your check.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: His letter says, I am extremely concerned and displeased about
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: the recently released kickoff times for our football program in
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: consecutive weeks this September and the impact that we'll have
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: on the well being of our student athletes. ESPN has
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: set our game at Utah for nine pm or nine
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: to fifteen pm Central Time on September twelve. We anticipate
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: returning to campus at approximately six am on Sunday, September thirteenth,
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: followed by an eleven am kickoff against Georgia just six
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: days later on September nineteenth. This assigned schedule will cost
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: our student athletes nearly a full day of rest and
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: recovery that they would otherwise have available to them. This
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: is not simply a competitive disadvantage. It's a genuine welfare
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: issue for the young men who represent our program and
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: contribute greatly to the bottom line of our television partners.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: This type of schedule is unacceptable and demonstrates a clear
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: negligent or neglect of our wellbeing of college or for
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: college athletes. I am confident that there are not many
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: other SECU programs in the sec that would be placed
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: in a similar position. It would not quietly accept it
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: for our program. I have formally requested that the SEC
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: office in ESPN aggressively pursue an alternative solution for one
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: or both kickoff times during the three consecutive weeks. The
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: focus must be on the well being of the game
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: participants and not the bottom line of our media partner.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: What the hell is he doing the well being of
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: the student athlete. Let's let's look at this. Let's look
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: all right, so let me pull the Arkansas schedule. Does
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: he have a point here? Hunter Yeerchik, the vice Chanchlan,
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: director of athletics. Let me find a tam here. Let's
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: go Arkansas football schedule, because I'm thinking right now, this
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: is what is he doing here? Let's look at their
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: football schedule. If I can find there, it is twenty
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: twenty six. All right, Arkansas football schedule for twenty twenty six.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: He's upset about the windows Umber twelfth at Utah. All right,
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: September twelfth, Let me make sure that this is a Saturday,
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: all right. September twelfth is a Saturday. They play at Utah.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: This is an out of conference game. They have a
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: nine to fifteenth Central kickoff time ten to fifteen Eastern. Well,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: that would make sense because you're going out another time zone.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: So not a problem there. And let me move this
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: up here, back up here to this letter that Arkansas
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: has put out, and let's see there it is all right,
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: So he references that game on September twelfth. We anticipate
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: returning to campus at approximately six am on Sunday, September thirteenth.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: All right, that's par for the course these teams when
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: they travel, any team, they get there the day before,
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: they do a little walk through, they go eat, take
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: in a movie, do whatever they're gonna do. They go
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: to sleep, they get up, they stretch the breakfast whatever.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: This is a night game. Then immediately following they pack
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: up and they leave. So he returned, that's that's normal,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: followed by an eleven am home kickoff against Georgia. All right,
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: so what does he want because that week I haven't
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: looked at that entire week. I would assume Georgia Arkansas
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: is probably one of the lesser matchups. So they're not
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: gonna get the six o'clock game of the seven o'clock game.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: So we're talking about a difference of about six hours, okay,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: six six hours in the week, he said, followed by
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: an eleven am kickoff game against Georgia just six days
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: later on the nineteenth. That's the only two games he
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: references the twelfth in the nineteenth, but he says in
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: this post he wants to pursue an alternative solution for
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: one or both kickoffs during these these cance Okay, these
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: consecutive weeks. I don't see the beef here beever, do
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: you see?
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Excuse me? Is six hours really going to make a
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: hell of difference?
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: No, No, he's And the wording, if I remember your
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: wording right, is he's saying it costs them a full day. Okay,
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: so he has said it anticipates getting in Sunday at
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: six am. Where any other trip, Okay, maybe they get
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: home at midnight. That's six hours, and then they have
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: the early game, so maybe maybe otherwise they be playing
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: at four in the afternoon, so that's five hours earlier.
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: So it's five it's eleven hours. That's not even half
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: a day. So your math is bad, sir, And he's
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: aggressively gonna ask the SEC. I'm sure they're gonna get
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: right on that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a pull.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: I need to look at the entire SEC schedule for
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: that day and we'll see what other games are matched up.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: But this is a weird flax man.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: Let's be real honest too. You're playing Utah and Georgia
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: back to back. I don't care what time either of
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: those games are. Those two weeks are not gonna go.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Well for you. No, no, they're not. You're You're absolutely right.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: If I look at the let's see if the SEC
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: schedule Football twenty twenty six, let's go to uh, let
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: me pull this in here, if this SEC dang schedule
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: would work, and I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: to do this during the break because the SEC website
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: is trash, absolute trash. Let me get some of these

• 18:42
  Speaker 5: an appointment the more you know. And unnamed texture Pocahontas
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: and Pocahontas liked the segment with Bill Bender. She wondered
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: what he was doing since his hard drinking wise cracking

  Speaker 5: role on. Then for Tuma, I don't know what that means.
• 19:02

• 19:34
  Speaker 5: in the last hour, they've dropped this letter to ESPN
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: and the SEC is absolute hogwash.
• 19:40

  Speaker 5: you can head out to Live Oaks today. All right,
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: let me look at this Arkansas schedule. So if you're
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: just joining us and missed it, Arkansas is not having anything. Look,
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of mad people in the SEC right now,
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: a lot of mad people in the SEC, and Arkansas
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: is one of them.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Arkansas puts out this this letter. Let me find it again.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Let me go over here to Brett McMurphy if you're
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: just joining us, so, Hunter, you're a chick of Arkansas
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: put out this letter to ESPN in the SEC and
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: without reading it all again, just to give you kind
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: of a recap, expressing his displeasure for Arkansas's kickoff times
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: for week two and three. Arkansas is traveling to Utah
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: in a non conference game on September twelfth. They'll play
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: that game at nine to fifteenth Central, which means it'll
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: be at eight fifteen or seven to fifteen.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Whatever the times on Utah is.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: I don't have that in front two hours, one hour,
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: he says, we're going to play that game at that time,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: and then we won't arrive back on campus till six
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: am Sunday, and then we're going to turn around six
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: days later and play Georgia on September nineteenth at eleven am.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: And so he goes into this.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Down this rabbit hole about the wellness of student athletes
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: and how this is aggressively attacking the wellness of the
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: student athletes, and he will not quietly accept it for
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: his program, and he has requested the SEC in ESPN
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: pursue an alternative solution for one or both kickoff times
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: during these consecutive weeks. Now, we all know that kickoff
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: times are determined by how good, how good the matchup is,
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: What is going to be the best matchup to put
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: in the night time slot, in the two thirty slot,
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: you know, the three thirty four o'clock slot.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: We if forever in a day.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: If you're a mediocre team, you're gonna play what was it,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: the old Jefferson pilot game. You're playing the eleven am game.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: You knew it. If you were stating in ole Miss.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: Fans in the nineties on most ears, you knew you
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: were getting a lot of JP games. It's just the
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: way it was. So when you look at this Arkansas
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: schedule and look at this, the game times here, the
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: composite schedule for that week. All right, let's go first
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: off the Utah. First off, Utah is not moving their game.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: I mean that's they're going to play a night game.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: It's going to be because of times on. So let's
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: take that one off the board. I mean, that's mostly
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: everybody's playing non conference games that weekend. I mean Arkansas
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: at Utah, Southern Miss at Auburn, Campbell at Florida, Missisippi
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: State at Minnesota, Oklahoma, Michigan. I mean, there's a lot
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: of a lot of games. So could they move the
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Georgia game off the eleven am kick? Let's look at it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: North Carolina State at Vanderbilt. That's probably going to be
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: either an early kick or a late kick on like
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: an ESPN three. Kentucky at Texas A and m is
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: at least on paper, a closer matchup Texas at UTSA
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: that'll be like an eleven o'clock kick, or they'll play
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: that game at night on some directional TV. Kennessall State
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: at Tennessee, No, Mississippi State south Carolina that's gonna be
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: played at South Carolina. That is a game that you
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: know could draw, and I don't have the game time
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: for that New Mexico at Oklahoma. The Big Ones, LSU
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: at Old Miss. First off, that one's not coming off primetime.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: They're not moving LSU Ole Miss, where Game Day has
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: already said they likely will be there. That is the
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: primetime game. Florida at Auburn, that's another prime game, another
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: prime game that's either going to be a two thirty kick,
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: a three o'clock four five o'clock kick, and Florida State
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: at Alabama. Those are your three workhorse games for Week
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: three that are going to be somewhere between two thirty
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: and the last kick, which is six thirty seven o'clock
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: eight o'clock on rare occasions for the SEC and the
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: SEC footprint. So they're not moving those games, and they're
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: probably not going to put an alternate game on like
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: the SEC network and try. They're just not for that.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: So this I would be shocked if this guy gets
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: any of this request. I'm just really shocked that he
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: would put this out, and not only that he would
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: put this out, he would put it out on X
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: and a written letter on letterhead with his signature Vice
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Chancellor in Director of Athletics and he goes into this
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: whole well being of student athletes. I mean, this is
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: not the first time that teams have had to turn
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: around and play a game the next week, you know, play.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Think about this. I mean, Old miss the State have
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: done this forever.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: They've played a game and then turn around and played
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: the Egg Bowl on Thursday, played on Saturday. Play on Thursday,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: play a game. Teams play a game and played on Friday.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: This is this is ludicrous coming out of one hunter
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: year chick's mouth. The director of athletics at Arkansas, also
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: Pete Golding, tells the NCAA go after him and he'll
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: expose the system. We may get into some of that.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: We've got some rankings of the Big ten quarterbacks.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Now. Bill Trashy put this out.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: This is courtesy of the Sporting News, but Bill Trashy,
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: as a senior editor for the Sporting News, works with
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Bill Bender.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: I disagree with this statement.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: He said, when Nico im Alava is your eighth best quarterback,
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: your league is deep. Well, first off, he's not that good,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: So I don't know I'm gonna get into these Big
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: ten noms. At what these Big ten quarterbacks look like.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: It is a good league of quarterbacks, though there's no
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: doubt it's a really good league of quarterbacks.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Six or one eight eight, five three, seven, seven six.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: If you want a Texas you can always call us
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: on the Missisippi Sports Medicine CALLAR line, and that's six
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: or one eight nine seven one zero five to nine.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: And as Ross Stalinger.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: Reported earlier, we talked about this bill that's on the
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: floor if the media rights are pulled. The bill is
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: written to encourage conferences to return to a more regional competition,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: and eventually the hope is for the leagues to return
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: to their previous regional makeups. And again I ask, what
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: does that even look like?
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Rt?
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Have we ever gone into a season with less Bama talk?
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: And honestly, I couldn't tell you if any players will
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: tell you any players on their team? I normally could
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: name at least a dozen. That's a great question. You know,
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: we haven't talked a lot of Alabama. Is Bama officially
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: an under the rate OAR team in twenty twenty six?
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Seriously? Like, I mean, could they make the College Football Playoff? Absolutely?
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Could they be in the conversation to play in the
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: SEC title Game?
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Absolutely? But he makes a good point. I haven't thought about.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: We haven't talked Bama a whole lot. Are they under
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: the radar? Are we undervaluing Alabama at this point?
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: Well, I guess I don't know if I don't know
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: what the right wording is, because undervalued because obviously they're past.
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: It works against them now, it works against them ever
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: since Saban left, because now here we are three years later,
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: everything is still being compared to when Saban was there. Right,
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: so they fell off and only won ten games. Uh oh,
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: so now there's less and less talk to his point,
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: So I guess I guess undervalued could be a way
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: to put it. Yeah, you're coming in, Well there's not
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: the hype. There's not the hype that there was, you know, six, five, four,
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: three years ago?
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: He also says, are they just a nine and three now?
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: Nine and three team now every year? Well you could
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: say that, but a lot of teams. I mean, I
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: don't know that we're going to see the eleven and
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: ones every year out of most teams. I mean, you
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: may see it out of the big ten sum out
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: of a host state almost years.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: There's Georgia. There's a lot of nine and threes out there.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: I like that wording too. Are they just nine and
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: three every year? How many teams would kill to be
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: just nine and three every year?
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: No?
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, Miko says. What Beaver just said is why no
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: one wanted to be the guy after saving Yeah, nobody
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: really wanted to be. But I do again give Kaitlyn
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: to bore this credit. I mean, he knew what he
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: was getting into when he took job, he knew who
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: he was following. Somebody was gonna take it. It's too
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: much money, right, do you think he regrets it? I
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: mean signed an extension. Probably not, no doubt it. He
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: probably didn't regret it. It is the uh. I don't
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: want to say, Well, let me say this, are the
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: expectations lowered a little bit as Bama Nation giving him
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: a little grace?
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: I don't know, because they're still insane, right, That fan
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: base is still insane. So if you had any common sense,
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: you should have realized that it was gonna take a
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: slight step back anyway from what you and that would
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: have been if no matter who came in as the coach,
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: no matter what happened, So they should have been giving
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: him at least a little grace to begin with. But
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: are they now? I don't know because I don't know
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: Crazy Bama. I don't know any of them personally. I
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: don't hear that Paul Finebaum nonsense, so I don't hear
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: his ridiculous listeners, So I don't know what their tone
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: is these days.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: Quite honestly, no, I agree with you. I agree with
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: you wholeheartedly. Six or one eight eight, five, three, seven
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: seven six. We're going to come back to this question
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: that we had earlier, and Bieber had a good answer.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: As peteen Akos reports, the most important piece of the
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: Senate bill coming up includes the opportunities for school to
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: collectively pull media rights. A threshold of seventy five percent
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: of the one hundred and thirty eight FBS schools must
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: be reached. Even if the Big ten and SEC didn't
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: sign off on it, then the rest of the FBS did,
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: it would be over seventy five percent. So how many
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: teams does the SEC and Big ten really need in
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: their camp and what might that look like. We'll get
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: into that and more. We're brought to you by the
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: MHSA officially become official today. Six or one nine two

  Speaker 5: six or one eight eight five three seven seven six.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: So on this deal, looking at it, it's not going
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: to take all it would seem at the SEC and
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: the Big ten voted no on this.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: The Senate bill.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: Well, if all one hundred and thirty eight teams of
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: the one thirty eight, they need seventy five percent to
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: vote for it, and then if the rest of the
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: FBS did, it would go over seventy five. But because
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: the Big ten they got eighteen teams, they're sixteen in
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: the SEC. That's a combined thirty four, So they need
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: basically one team to not vote yes.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: That team is Notre Dame.
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame is not going to agree to this because
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: of the revenue that they already have and they don't
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: want to share anything with anybody anyway. So if you're
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: you know, one hundred and four teams agree to it,
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: you're at seventy five point three six percent. If one
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: hundred and three agree, you're at seventy four point sixty
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: four and that's round up. So you need one more team.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: There's also other teams that might not sign off on this.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: You still have the quote ACC magnificent seven if you
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: remember those guys. These are teams that are not happy
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: and have not been happy with the ACC setup and
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: the pay Clemson, Florida State, Miami, North Carolina.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: That's four of them.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: These schools have sued or pushed hard against the current
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: conference deals. They want bigger payouts anyway, and they see
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: a path to the Big ten of the SEC. Pulling
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: everything with lesser programs could lock in a lower revenue
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: share and hurt their leverage for realignment. Florida State and
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Clemson in particular, get called out, Get called out. In
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: threshold as probable or no votes because that's the thing.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: You could now vote this thing and that just counts
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: as you know, doesn't count towards the good. Also, you
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: got other schools in the a SEC, Virginia, Virginia Tech,
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: and maybe Pittsburgh or Louisville. Similar logic. They don't want
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: to subsidize the bottom of the conference or group of
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: five in a pool deal because you know, if the
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: overall dollar is bigger. Let's just say, if the overall
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: dollar is you know right now, if you collectively, you know,
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: pulled everything together, it was seventy five million, and then
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: you got to one hundred million, Well you're still going
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: and that's low, low, low numbers. We're just using a
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: basic number here. Then you're going to split that one
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: hundred and thirty eight ways. That means everybody's getting a
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: lesser piece of the pie. Also in the Big twelve, Look,
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: there are schools that are not locks Arizona, Arizona State,
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: Colorado and Utah or even some school like TCU or
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Baylor several already generate solid revenue and might calculate they'd
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: get less in a massive pool rights deal by negotiating
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: individually or expanding their own conference. And you know there's
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: a few ambitious group of five schools that may I
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: doubt it Boise State, San Diego State, or Memphis, but
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: they're probably going to say yes to this.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: So I don't look for this to pass. I mean
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: I don't see one hundred and you know seventy five
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: percent of the one thirty eight agreeing to this. Six
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: or one eight, eight, five, three, seven seven, six.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: Ole Miss head football coach Pete Golding on tampering accusations
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: from Clemson head coach Dabo Sweeney. He said, I'm not
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: going to sit up here and say whatever we did
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: or didn't do, was it right or was it wrong?
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: But you know, when you go through what we went
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: through with the tampering stuff and what you're seeing day
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: in and day out, some things you feel like shouldn't
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: matter that they're making a big deal about it. So
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: you know, look to Pete Golding's credited me. He's right.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Everything that Old Miss is doing, everybody's doing. Absolutely everybody
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: is doing it. Jinks, Well, the Bulldogs women's softball beyond.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: The FM radio so what station? Thanks?
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: They will not Jinks sorry about that also CBR Jake
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: read the fine print. I'm sure there is a cushy
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame exception where Notre Dame doesn't have to abide
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: by the same rules as everyone else.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: It's the Notre Dame way. Aha, Bieber.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Do you think they would actually make a rule if
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: they passed this that Notre Dame get gets a pass here?
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: Yes, of course we do. It exists now to begin with,
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: so it'll be ushered in any any new rules or
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: any new format.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Notre Dame's never I mean, and that's the thing.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame's never had to play by the same rules
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: as far as that kind of stuff is concerned. Jason
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: and flagstaff. Sorry, just joining, but have y'all talked about
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: what an oh, yes about a hundred year year check
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: dudes winding about playing a late kick at Utah then
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: early kick at Georgia for quote genuine safety issues. Yes,
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: we have talked about it. We just got done talking
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: about that, but that'll be another talking point to make
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: sure people under You know, if you're getting off work
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: and haven't seen this any thoughts on this year check
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: business with the ESPN and the SEC even acknowledged this
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: letter no, no, I don't think they do.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: And we'll get more into that. Let's see here.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: And Kirby Smart said yesterday, he said, my biggest concern
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: about our sports We're going to ruin all the other sports.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: He's not wrong about that. I mean, we're already seeing
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: a lot.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: Of these sports drop off, and it very well could
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: ruin the rest of them.
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, hey, you mentioned ESPN. And now, since we're talking
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: first the first week of college football and ESPN combined,
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: did you happen to see their wording of the press release?
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: The fancy press release they put out for ESPN announces

• 37:53
  Speaker 7: sites showcases, with nearly every window anchored by high profile
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: programs at top twenty five contenders. ESPN's expansive coverage offers
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: fans unpair. Okay, stop there, because I want to continue
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: on this. Next one Labor Day weekend on ESPN and
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: ABC features a powerhouse lineup filled with ranked teams traditional powers.
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: The high action begins Thursday night as Colorado visits Georgia Tech,
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: and the whole selling point they're making for Colorado Georgia
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: Tech is the Buffalo's return to where Deon Sanders used
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: to play in Atlanta. Really, that's how you're pumping up
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: a college football game thirty years later. The over thirty
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: years later is that Deon Sanders used to play there.
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: And then this is the best part. Saturday's lineup on
• 38:44

  Speaker 7: word marquee matchup? Yes, PN, What the hell was that?
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: They've got some child writing their press releases and probably
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: putting in chat GPT and that whole Deon Sandris flicks.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: I doubt most people thirty five and under even know
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: that he played there, just because the way we do
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: with sports, I mean, if you didn't come up in
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: that era, unless you're a historian of football or baseball.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: You wouldn't even know that.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, you kind of know where's Deon Sanders, you know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: mostly noted obviously played and had a very successful time
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: in Atlanta.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Where's he mostly noted? Dallas? Yeah?
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Uh so?

  Speaker 7: And to try to sell me to watch a football
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: game because he played there in the city. It has
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: nothing to do with either team, though you're telling me
• 39:53
