• 5:07
  Speaker 4: seeing how it's grown from twenty five years ago to now.

  Speaker 3: You know, back then it was just the major sports.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: You always say, you're right, you're soccer, your baseball, your
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: you know, football, basketball, right, all those, But now league,
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: like you said, you look at everything else that they offer.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Fisting with tyweemc Is, the athletics director here at Pearl.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: We got a couple of minutes left until we at
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the top of the hour. I call it the the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: high school sports or high school football arms race.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: It's amazing to see how high schools have evolved.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And now, you know, obviously athletic director independently roles, some
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: have sids, you know, some have obviously staffs that are
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: are are massive, and you've got guys that just come
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and fill in. It very resembles a college now a
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: college model. Talk about how you've seen that change in
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the high school level because you know what's going on here.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: You go to startvill Jay Hobson's the athletics director.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: You go to two Plow.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, all around the state you're seeing athletic department
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: evolve into a miniature college version.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I think that's the way it's trending, the way it's
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: going because everything that goes into running the day to
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: day operations. It's not simply and can I get money
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: to a ticket and some workers right to show up.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: It's not that anymore.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Everything else goes into planning just the daily events and
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: then multiple games have going on, and then the overlapping
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: of sports seasons. It's hard to find somebody nowadays that
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: if you're a coach, I'm coaching, but then I'm gonna
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: take care of all the other duties that might come
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: along with be an athletic director. I've been, you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I've been an athlete Directoran foom Aall coach four you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: and it's a lot.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: It's taxing, you know.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: But when you get to a school that offers this
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: many different things for kids to get involved in, it's
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: your time is limited and it's hard to be everywhere
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: at one time. And so I think you're seeing that
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: go that direction. Sometimes you can divide it up between
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: you know, multiple coaches can help out on different avenues
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: like this. I'm out of season, so I can pick
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: up some duties and cover some things in this time
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: while somebody else is focusing with their end season, and
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: that makes it a lot easier to be able to
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: manage all that. But I think the bigger schools, you're
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: going to see them start going more to Hey, an
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: athletic director, I need you to handle this.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Because all the things we're talking about.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Had they mentioned the social media, Oh yeah, I mean
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: in the communication and the community engagement in the website.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: That's a full time jobing of itself.

  Speaker 2: in college football. Why as Adam Rittenberg and Bill Conley
