  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes Tomorrow morning for Wednesday, June twenty fifth,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Tom Or the Texas game in sixty
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: six days, the game against Michigan in one hundred and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: fifty seven days. If you're playing your next event, make
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it unforgettable with Grateful Gridel, Columbus's favorite food truck serving
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: up Smashburger's gourmet sandwiches and good vibes. Booker catering today
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: at gratefulgriddel oh dot com. Today we're going to be
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: hearing from Garrett Seawright. He hosts the Daily Huddle podcast
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: on the Buckeye Huddle Podcast Network. He just dropped an
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: episode that I thought was really interesting, being kind of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a hot topic among many hot topics around the college
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: football world. Recently, with the House Settlement set to go
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: into effect on July first, the State of Michigan, one
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of the lawmakers there introduced a new bill in the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Michigan legislature that could put the Wolverines and Spartans at
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: odds with new laws about nil. So, all right, what
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: does Garrett think about what that bill could do and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: what it could mean for Michigan and Michigan State.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I'm a hater. I'll admit it unabashedly. I hate.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: When politicians get involved in college football. It never goes well.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: It makes politicians look stupid, it makes college football programs
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: look weak and inefficient, and all of the things are bad.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Whether it's an Ohio state representative saying that the Buckeyes
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be allowed to play at noon except for when
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: they play Michigan and by god, we're.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Gonna sue Fox and you look dumb.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Or if congressmen state representatives in North Carolina say North Carolina,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: North Carolina say, have to be in the same conference
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and if one of them tries to break away, it's
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: gonna be ridiculous. Or UCLA has to pay calimony to
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: cal because they're not in the Big ten and Cow
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: wants to be a big It's dumb.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It's always dumb. It's stupid.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: There should be no place in college football or sports
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: in general for that matter, for suits at your state
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: capital or in Washington. They suck, there's no good that
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: comes of it, and yet they still get.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Their fingers in the sport and it's stupid.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Right now, in Michigan, there is a bill that would
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: say that Michigan and Michigan State and to a lesser extent,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Central Michigan, Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan wouldn't have to follow
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: NCAA and IL rules if this bill were to pass.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Basically the layman's terms argument because I'm not going to
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: get into the legal ease the bull crap of the
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: actual text of the bill, but essentially the argument in
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: this bill is.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: You can make these rules, but we don't have to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: follow them.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: And actually it would make it against state law for
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: those programs to follow or be required to share NIL
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: information with the NCAA or any other enforcement agency. Now
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: that flies in direct conflict with what Michigan and Michigan
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: State already have in kind of the byproduct or the
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: by laws of the Big Ten that say you will
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: follow the enforcement and you will follow the rules that
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten NCAA, et cetera.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Put forth.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: You might see how that could be a problem where
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: it would be against state law for Michigan Michigan State
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to abide by NCAA rules and provide enforcement agencies with
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: information about the NIL deals, et cetera, money made and
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: money paid towards student athletes, and then also be required
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: to do the exact opposite, and there has been some
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: there's been some clickbaity bullshit. If I can just be
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: one hundred franc call this could lead to Michigan and
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Michigan State's departure from the Big Ten.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: They would have to be in dependent.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen. That's that's not gonna happen. So
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: we can pretend is if that the Big Ten might
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: need to be looking for two new member institutions because
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Michigan and Michigan State are gonna be on the outside
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: looking at. We don't have to do that. I don't
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: have to sit here and tell you that Callan Stanford
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: are going to try to figure out how to get
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: out of the ACC to fill Michigan and Michigan State
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: spots in the Big Ten. Because it's as likely that
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I bump uglies with Selma Hayak by the time I
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: clicked end record on this video Slash podcast, that Michigan
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: and Michigan State are going to be kicked out of
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten because.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Pretty much every single time.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: A legislator gets involved in college sports, and you can
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: find this admirable, somehow someway it is because they want
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: to help out their favorite institution, they're alma mater, or
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the state's biggest program.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Those are the kind of the genesis for why.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Lawmakers get involved in college athletics. It would take about
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: twenty five seconds, I think for a Michigan or Michigan
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: State Athletic Department official to explain to a Michigan lawman.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Lawmaker, lawman is a cop lawmaker.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Why this is a bad idea, Why you're really gonna
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: put the screws to us here if you do this.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And furthermore, you would like to.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Think that the big ten would just go like, Hey,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I know that you guys think this is a stupid law,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and we think it's a stupid law, so we're just
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: going to pretend like none of this ever happened. But
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I think they would kind of have to be forced
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: into saying, like, hey, we got to do something here,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: because I can't imagine a scenario where Michigan and Michigan
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: State get to play by like a whole different set
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: of rules and Iowa and Nebraska are like, Kyle, that's.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Fine, we don't care. That's great. But it takes all
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: about ten seconds for Sharon Moore.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Or somebody else in the Michigan or Michigan State Athletic
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Department to say like, hey, this is a really bad idea,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and I'll explain it to you why. And as long
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: as that lawmaker can understand anything above the like emotional
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: development about the age of five, which depending on the
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: state or the lawmaker, could be asking a lot, they're
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: gonna go, oh yeah, wait, okay, you're right. What I
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: was trying to do was set you up so where
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: you can pay these kids all the money you want
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: and nobody ever has to know about it, Like we
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: like the idea is kind of like is par for
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: the course from Michigan of like, hey, we're.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Trying to set up a situation where you didn't.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Have to follow the rules where like everybody agrees on
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: like you shouldn't do x y Z, and.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Then it would be okay that you did x y Z.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: And that's a that's a bad like kind of precedent
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: to follow or be interested in setting. But the idea
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: overarching put all, put the bill aside, put the the
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: big tenant, gonna kick out Michigan and Michigan State.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: The sec.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: This happened a couple of weeks ago, with Tennessee doing
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: a similar the SEC is not gonna kick out Tennessee.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: At some point, there's going to be some agreed upon
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: even further NIL compliance clearing house, et cetera. That is
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: going to at some point put everything on the up
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: and up, you would like to think, and then at
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: some point somebody's gonna run a foul of that, and
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: there will.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Be discussions about what that punishment should look like, et cetera.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: But at the surface level, someday Michigan and Michigan State
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: might no longer be a member of the Big Ten,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: but it's going to be because the Big Ten is
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: a conference similar to the AFC or NFC, and the
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: SEC is the other conference away from the nc double
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: A and they have to take on new names or
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: some ridiculous situation. Michigan and Michigan State are not going
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: to leave the Big Ten because their state laws require
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: them to give double birds to the Big Ten in
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: NCAA when they ask how much money you're paying your
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: kids and il money? And the Big Ten isn't going
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: to kick Michigan and Michigan State to the curb. Those
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: are dumb, ridiculous arguments, just like the SEC is not
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: going to kick Tennessee to the curb because they don't
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: like potential nil state laws put into place overarching When legislators, politicians,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: government officials get involved in college football, it is dumb.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Whether it is we want these two schools to.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Play each other in football every year, whether it is
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: we want them in the same conference, we don't want
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: them to play on Peacock at ESPN plus, we want
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: them to play in prime time, or we want to
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: be able to pay as much to student athletes as
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: possible and we don't really want you to know how
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: much we're paying them. Those are just somewhat recent examples,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: and every single one of them makes me lose just
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: a little bit of faith in humanity. And also it
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: kind of makes you question the legitimacy of a lot
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: of different avenues and institutions that I don't really want
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to sit here and have to confront on this podcast
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: or in life in general. So I hope and pray
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: that we get to a spot where legislators, lawmakers, politicians,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: government officials just shut up.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: And watch the game and enjoy.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: But and part of it is that it can be
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: a good thing if you're a psycho that like you,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: these people are so passionate about their alma maters, your institutions,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: their memories that they had with these programs growing up,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: their constituents, et cetera. You could spin that in a
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: real weird, twisted pretzel life fashion to make that into
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: a good thing. I'm not gonna do that. It's a
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: bad thing. And I think this is just the latest example.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: But no, the Big Ten ain't kick in Michigan and
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Michigan State out of the league for their nil potential
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: state laws that are stupid and ridiculous. Now, I think
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: there might be a leg to stand on there of like, hey,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: it's none of your damn business how much this person
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: got in their bank account. I think that might be
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: a completely reasonable argument to in Lake to stand on
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: tell you the truth. But when it's like kind of
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: quasi tax payer money related, I don't want to get
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: into the politics of it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: It's just a dumb, dumb law.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: It's a dumb way to try to set up your
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: college football team to take advantage of a situation when
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: really it should be like, can we just we just
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: figured this out on the field, and like the coaches
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: are responsible for figuring out who the best players are
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: maybe that's asking too much. I don't know, but it's
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: just a dumb It's a dumb overarching the entire situation stupid.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: So let's cut that out, shall We want to know
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: your thoughts.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Do you think your favorite school should get help from
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the state legislature to give it a leg up on
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the competition.
• 12:37
