- 1:40Speaker 1: Conley CPA group providing value beyond numbers. All Right, we're
- 1:47Speaker 1: ready to go. I hope you had a good week.
- 1:51Speaker 1: It's been a week, right since we did one of
- 1:54Speaker 1: these things. I believe it has been.
- 1:55Speaker 2: I think it's been a month.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben a bit, Ben, a bit. We're gonna coordinate here.
- 1:59Speaker 1: So what has transpired? What's happening in the world of
- 2:04Speaker 1: WVU sports since the last time we got together, Well,
- 2:09Speaker 1: last time it was about Ross Hodge taking over formal introduction.
- 2:14Speaker 1: It was the day of his press conference, which was
- 2:17Speaker 1: a week ago today, and so all of the newness
- 2:20Speaker 1: that goes along that with that, Now, since that happened
- 2:24Speaker 1: from the basketball side, putting the pieces together for the
- 2:28Speaker 1: new roster additions and a subtraction to this point. And
- 2:34Speaker 1: then on the football side, we had the showcase on
- 2:39Speaker 1: Saturday and the Mountaineers officially concluded spring practice drills and
- 2:44Speaker 1: Rich Rodriguez's first spring practice since his return done. And
- 2:49Speaker 1: then immediately a couple of days after that Monday comes
- 2:52Speaker 1: word that rosters have been reduced and as we expected,
- 3:00Speaker 1: players that no longer will have a roster spot. So
- 3:04Speaker 1: we will get into all of that. What's it means?
- 3:06Speaker 1: Why are we here in the sense of all of this? Plus,
- 3:11Speaker 1: we had a court hearing in regard to the House decision,
- 3:15Speaker 1: which the big story would be that, yes, this thing
- 3:20Speaker 1: is going to be signed. There's a couple of tweaks
- 3:23Speaker 1: that the judge had asked to be considered, and then
- 3:28Speaker 1: eventually we'll get to it. But the bottom is that
- 3:30Speaker 1: July one, as expected, there's going to be a House
- 3:33Speaker 1: decision and schools will begin to literally pay for play
- 3:39Speaker 1: for their players. So we got that.
- 3:43Speaker 2: How are you, hobster? I'm well and just Tony.
- 3:45Speaker 3: A lot to unpack there from individuals on this roster
- 3:50Speaker 3: reduction list all the way up to the House decision,
- 3:53Speaker 3: But let me start with let me make two quick
- 3:55Speaker 3: obvious observations. One is of that list, and you guys
- 3:59Speaker 3: can bring down some of the names on there. But
- 4:01Speaker 3: I think what stood out to me was that you
- 4:03Speaker 3: had twelve scholarship players.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I believe about twelve that.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Were on that list, and five of those were incoming
- 4:11Speaker 3: freshman scholarship players. So why are they on the reduction list? Well,
- 4:17Speaker 3: we don't know exactly. I think you have a varying reasons.
- 4:20Speaker 3: One would be that they didn't measure up to what
- 4:24Speaker 3: Rodriguez six and staff expected, or those players think they'll
- 4:30Speaker 3: have a better opportunity someplace else. So there's probably a
- 4:32Speaker 3: combination of reasons why those players are leaving, and then
- 4:36Speaker 3: also creating roster room in scholarship room because you have.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Other players that are going to be coming in.
- 4:41Speaker 3: The portal is going to open on the sixteen, so
- 4:43Speaker 3: you're still in transition, and Rodriguez is staff have to
- 4:47Speaker 3: keep some room there for other players. So and this
- 4:51Speaker 3: is just not unique to West Virginia. This is everywhere
- 4:53Speaker 3: because of the one oh five limit in roster and
- 4:56Speaker 3: probably eighty five in scholarship for West Virginia. So that's
- 5:00Speaker 3: the first obvious observation.
- 5:02Speaker 4: It does show you, though, what we've been talking about
- 5:04Speaker 4: with college athletics for the last few years. The coaches
- 5:08Speaker 4: were in that difficult spot of having to chop this
- 5:10Speaker 4: roster down with some guys that has Rich talked about
- 5:12Speaker 4: thought they could help somewhere down the road. If this
- 5:14Speaker 4: was the old days, you'd keep those guys around trying
- 5:16Speaker 4: and develop a few of them. But you got to
- 5:18Speaker 4: chop that down to one oh five, and then as
- 5:20Speaker 4: they're doing that, the judges questioning whether one oh five
- 5:24Speaker 4: should be the number?
- 5:25Speaker 2: WI are we doing it that way? Shouldn't it be?
- 5:27Speaker 4: Stare stepped down, which is something Rich and other coaches
- 5:29Speaker 4: have been talking about. So it's in that typical of
- 5:31Speaker 4: college athletics right now that as something Rich is rushing
- 5:35Speaker 4: to get things cut and giving those guys, and part
- 5:38Speaker 4: of that's to give those guys that they're releasing or
- 5:40Speaker 4: that aren't coming back a chance to go find homes elsewhere.
- 5:43Speaker 4: So you want to give those guys as much lead
- 5:45Speaker 4: time as you can. And as the football programs around
- 5:47Speaker 4: the country are rushing to cut those numbers down, the
- 5:49Speaker 4: court at the same exact moment, almost literally is saying, well,
- 5:53Speaker 4: hold on, is this is the right thing we want
- 5:54Speaker 4: to do. Is this the way we're going to do it?
- 5:55Speaker 4: Should we look at this? Is there a better way
- 5:57Speaker 4: to do it?
- 5:58Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 5:58Speaker 3: So, judge Wilkin is it's almost like you're building the
- 6:01Speaker 3: plane as you're flying.
- 6:02Speaker 4: Not almost like I think it's exactly the OS design,
- 6:05Speaker 4: It's exactly And Wilkin was saying, well, wait a minute, wait,
- 6:08Speaker 4: maybe these players should be grandfathered in, and they should
- 6:11Speaker 4: be able to stay through their eligibility.
- 6:13Speaker 3: But you can't if you're if you're a coach and
- 6:16Speaker 3: you're I don't know, you can't count on that.
- 6:18Speaker 4: No, you can't count on that. But there's an entire
- 6:21Speaker 4: organization that runs this. There's presidents in ads, and everybody's
- 6:25Speaker 4: just sitting around waiting for this one singular judge to
- 6:28Speaker 4: ask that question. And now everybody goes, oh, yeah, it's good,
- 6:31Speaker 4: good question. I maybe was talking about this. It's just
- 6:33Speaker 4: remarkable the inner workings of this, when you get outside
- 6:37Speaker 4: of the field of player, the court and the games,
- 6:40Speaker 4: that all of this stuff is going on, And how
- 6:41Speaker 4: possibly can you management when no one has any answers here?
- 6:44Speaker 4: And not only does nobody have any answers. It's why
- 6:47Speaker 4: I tell you guys all the time, getting consensus is
- 6:48Speaker 4: so hard. Who's making the decision? Who has the decision here?
- 6:53Speaker 4: Who can implement rules? Who can say rules are coming?
- 6:56Speaker 4: Is it only this settlement? Is Judge Wilkin the singular
- 7:00Speaker 4: person that can put things in place? Right now, like,
- 7:03Speaker 4: who's in charge of this thing? Well, it's wild right now.
- 7:06Speaker 3: I think what schools are doing, what WV is doing
- 7:08Speaker 3: is you know, Brad, you make a great point, is
- 7:11Speaker 3: that you but you can't wait, you know, you can't wait.
- 7:14Speaker 3: You got to say, let's pick a plan, let's plink
- 7:17Speaker 3: a plan that we think is going to be the best,
- 7:19Speaker 3: and let's move forward.
- 7:20Speaker 4: What a heart. Yes, you're one hundred percent right. And
- 7:22Speaker 4: that's what schools are doing right, schools across the country.
- 7:24Speaker 4: What a horrible way to run a business. We're gonna
- 7:27Speaker 4: guess at what you're gonna say when there's no precedent
- 7:30Speaker 4: for this, and then we're gonna try and implement our
- 7:31Speaker 4: business model. That's a hard spot to be in for schools.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Something that's hit me here in the last couple of
- 7:36Speaker 1: days is just the while, would you guys are basically saying,
- 7:41Speaker 1: think about this. The people that are in charge of
- 7:45Speaker 1: college sports are the college presidents and the athletic directors, Right, Okay,
- 7:52Speaker 1: that's the way it's always been. And the NCAA is
- 7:55Speaker 1: simply a term of the agency that supposedly enforces the
- 8:03Speaker 1: rules that the presidents and the athletic directors the schools.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Schools decided, the schools decide. Okay, so think about this,
- 8:11Speaker 1: think about this. Utter just unprecedented mess that we are
- 8:16Speaker 1: in in college athletics, right, and the people that are
- 8:22Speaker 1: in charge are supposedly some of the smartest people in
- 8:28Speaker 1: the world. You would say that, right, hope college presidents
- 8:31Speaker 1: would be in the top three percentile of intelligence. Right.
- 8:37Speaker 1: I could see if they gave it to the three
- 8:38Speaker 1: of us to figure it out and we jack the
- 8:41Speaker 1: whole thing up. But these are like and this is institutional,
- 8:44Speaker 1: this is over decades. The issues that you're dealing with
- 8:48Speaker 1: right now are over decades of decisions that have been
- 8:51Speaker 1: made by presidents, past presidents, current presidents to get you
- 8:55Speaker 1: into the situation that you are. This will go down
- 8:58Speaker 1: as one of the all time case studies of how
- 9:02Speaker 1: to do it wrong.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Yeah, what you're.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Into though, I understand, I agree, I agree completely, But
- 9:11Speaker 3: with this, this is such a big settlement. And with
- 9:13Speaker 3: the hearing Monday and Judge, they came together and that
- 9:16Speaker 3: was people thought that was gonna be it. This was okay,
- 9:18Speaker 3: let's lock this thing down. We're good to go. But
- 9:20Speaker 3: then each side says, well what about this was I said,
- 9:23Speaker 3: I'm gonna fall around the edges here a little bit
- 9:25Speaker 3: and let me take a look at this. And the
- 9:26Speaker 3: judge said, maybe these players should be grandfathered in INSA
- 9:29Speaker 3: attorney said.
- 9:30Speaker 2: I'm not sure we're in favor of that.
- 9:32Speaker 3: So the stakes, I guess, are so high, and these
- 9:36Speaker 3: entities have these vested interests that that happens in court
- 9:40Speaker 3: cases all the time.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Now it's in the courts.
- 9:43Speaker 1: My point is, you would never you would never need
- 9:45Speaker 1: a house settlement if you had foresight in the decades ago.
- 9:50Speaker 4: Fair Enough, I know you're tired of me saying this.
- 9:53Speaker 4: I've been saying it. I've been on the air for
- 9:54Speaker 4: thirteen years. I've been saying it for thirteen years because
- 9:56Speaker 4: I lived it for fifteen years before. I've been saying
- 9:58Speaker 4: it on the air for thirteen. The consent says, getting
- 10:00Speaker 4: people to agree to what it should look like is
- 10:04Speaker 4: the ultimate problem. What Alabama wants to do is not
- 10:07Speaker 4: what Kent State wants to do. Yet those teams are
- 10:10Speaker 4: supposed to be competing for the same title, and that
- 10:13Speaker 4: doesn't even get into or speak to the different sports
- 10:16Speaker 4: within here. We're not just trying to get football to
- 10:19Speaker 4: have an agreement. Here, we're trying to bring softball along too,
- 10:22Speaker 4: and swimming and all of these different things. How possibly
- 10:25Speaker 4: can you get everybody on the same page, and that
- 10:28Speaker 4: chasm has grown even deeper over time as there's been
- 10:32Speaker 4: certain leagues that have tried to separate themselves from the others.
- 10:35Speaker 4: Is there anybody sitting around in the SEC saying, hey,
- 10:38Speaker 4: what would the best thing for college athletics be? Or
- 10:41Speaker 4: are they saying, at best what would be best for
- 10:44Speaker 4: the SEC?
- 10:45Speaker 2: And more than.
- 10:46Speaker 4: Likely everybody is just worried about their own silo. What
- 10:49Speaker 4: is best for X institution? And I get it. That's
- 10:53Speaker 4: what the president and the AD and that's what Ren
- 10:55Speaker 4: and Gordon Gee and the new incoming president, they're charged
- 10:58Speaker 4: with what's best for West Virginia. Who looking out for
- 11:00Speaker 4: what's best for college sports? And I'm not sure there's
- 11:03Speaker 4: been anybody for forty years as the whole thing is
- 11:06Speaker 4: transformed into this behemoth financially, there hasn't been anybody there
- 11:11Speaker 4: protecting the overall brand. It's all been people fighting for
- 11:15Speaker 4: their own cut of the pie. That's why we've landed here.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Well said, yeah, you hit it exactly, You hit it exactly,
- 11:22Speaker 1: and that's where we are. We've gone from college sports
- 11:24Speaker 1: being a mom and pop organization and it just basically
- 11:28Speaker 1: exploded into this massive, massive, financial entity, and no one
- 11:35Speaker 1: knows how to get their arms around it, and it's
- 11:37Speaker 1: hard to And the athletes came in eventually here with
- 11:40Speaker 1: these with the House decision and said we're going to
- 11:42Speaker 1: take ours now, which has caused us to be where
- 11:45Speaker 1: we are.
- 11:45Speaker 4: It's closer to you know, we talk about the NFL
- 11:48Speaker 4: model so much for college football. It's really closer to
- 11:51Speaker 4: baseball than it is NFL. NFL does have everybody has
- 11:55Speaker 4: to work together for the greater good, and it's made
- 11:58Speaker 4: itself into the best pro sports league because everybody is
- 12:01Speaker 4: put in somewhat of a box and you've got to
- 12:03Speaker 4: stay in ther same lane. Baseball's different, right. The Yankees
- 12:06Speaker 4: are not helping the Pirates, right, and that's clear by
- 12:08Speaker 4: the competitive imbalance that exists in that So it's more
- 12:12Speaker 4: it's more an agoous to baseball than it is football.
- 12:15Speaker 3: I agree with you, and I think the college football,
- 12:17Speaker 3: the way it's a college sports is gonna end up
- 12:18Speaker 3: more like the baseball model, where you're gonna have the
- 12:20Speaker 3: Dodgers and the Yankees and the Cubs, and that's gonna
- 12:23Speaker 3: be the Alabama's in the Ohio States, and then you're
- 12:26Speaker 3: gonna have the other squads.
- 12:27Speaker 2: They're gonna have the Marlins that are gonna be.
- 12:28Speaker 3: Like the West Virginia. I mean, that's that's gotta happen.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Unless you had unless you had true because these other schools,
- 12:37Speaker 3: I mean West Virginia and the Big fell probably gonna
- 12:39Speaker 3: end up with eighty five scholarships, right, it's probably gonna
- 12:41Speaker 3: end up with But these other schools they could have
- 12:43Speaker 3: one hundred and five on the roster and have one
- 12:45Speaker 3: hundred and five scholarships they want if they want so,
- 12:48Speaker 3: and they maybe they will, right, and they'll have greater
- 12:50Speaker 3: nil opportunities. So you can't end up being equal.
- 12:55Speaker 4: And again, that's one sport. So finally, after all this time,
- 12:59Speaker 4: when se says, why are we being constricted in baseball?
- 13:03Speaker 4: If we want to have ten assistants, why can't we
- 13:05Speaker 4: have ten assistants? If we want to fully fund twenty
- 13:07Speaker 4: five scholarships, we have the money, why can't we do it?
- 13:09Speaker 4: And schools in the MAC are saying, well, no, no, we can't.
- 13:11Speaker 4: We can't compete with that. And so finally you're starting
- 13:13Speaker 4: to see some pushback from the havels that are saying, well,
- 13:16Speaker 4: we're not we're not listening to you. Why are you
- 13:17Speaker 4: out voting us? And that's starting to drive some of
- 13:20Speaker 4: the headbutting that's going on.
- 13:21Speaker 2: This is a hard fix, guys.
- 13:23Speaker 4: I mean, we can sit up here and come up
- 13:24Speaker 4: with a couple things to implement, actually doing it and
- 13:27Speaker 4: putting it in place and getting to rules that everybody
- 13:29Speaker 4: can compete. This is a hard fix.
- 13:31Speaker 1: I do think conferences will set their number. I think
- 13:33Speaker 1: Big twelve will say eighty five, and I think SEC
- 13:36Speaker 1: for that matter, will also say eighty five. But the
- 13:39Speaker 1: concern is, you know, a couple of years from now
- 13:41Speaker 1: when they go, yeah, hey, guess what as a league.
- 13:43Speaker 1: As a league, we've decided to go ninety. We decided
- 13:46Speaker 1: to go ninety, and they can they can up to
- 13:48Speaker 1: one hundred. Yeah.
- 13:49Speaker 2: You know what I think is interesting, Tony, And to
- 13:52Speaker 2: me it's the most actually the most fascinating part of
- 13:54Speaker 2: all of this, especially when we think about WVU that
- 13:57Speaker 2: you know the least about.
- 13:58Speaker 3: We know that min Baker says West Virginia will have
- 14:01Speaker 3: twenty expects to have twenty a half million dollars in
- 14:03Speaker 3: revenue sharm money, and he said that with great confidence,
- 14:06Speaker 3: and we believe the Board of Governors is in support
- 14:08Speaker 3: of that. But what has not been clear for a
- 14:10Speaker 3: variety of reasons, is Okay, where does that money come
- 14:12Speaker 3: from exactly? And how much is the academic side going
- 14:15Speaker 3: to help out?
- 14:16Speaker 2: And I don't think.
- 14:17Speaker 3: I don't think we're going to know that until the
- 14:20Speaker 3: Board of Governors approves the budgets for the next year
- 14:24Speaker 3: coming in June, and then we should at least have
- 14:25Speaker 3: some breakdown.
- 14:27Speaker 2: But even then you're not going to know.
- 14:29Speaker 3: And I guess at that point, maybe you'll know that
- 14:31Speaker 3: football is getting seventy five percent and men's basketball is
- 14:34Speaker 3: getting fifteen percent. You probably know the percentages something like that,
- 14:37Speaker 3: but you won't know what the players are getting. I
- 14:41Speaker 3: don't think the universe. I think the university is going
- 14:43Speaker 3: to say those are protected. That's protected. But I think
- 14:47Speaker 3: there's so much money involved, and it's so significant to
- 14:50Speaker 3: the roster and to the scholarships and the players you have,
- 14:54Speaker 3: but you're not going to know, and right now not
- 14:57Speaker 3: we don't know. That's such a key part of the
- 14:59Speaker 3: development of these quants, and you have no idea as
- 15:02Speaker 3: a fan what's going on.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't think you will because the rich
- 15:09Speaker 1: Rodriguez and Ran went down this week to the State
- 15:12Speaker 1: legislature and they spoke on behalf of a bill. Well,
- 15:16Speaker 1: one of those one of the pieces of that bill
- 15:20Speaker 1: is to create a nonprofit entity through the Athletic Department
- 15:25Speaker 1: that is set up similar to what WVU has with
- 15:28Speaker 1: its Research corporation. Okay, so that you can bring money in,
- 15:33Speaker 1: but it not it will not be seen. So that's
- 15:37Speaker 1: how they're going to pay Brad his contract. But it's
- 15:41Speaker 1: never going to have to be released as to how
- 15:43Speaker 1: much money Brad is making.
- 15:45Speaker 2: For competitive reasons.
- 15:46Speaker 1: They don't want for competitive reasons. Yes, now you're gonna
- 15:49Speaker 1: you're you're probably going to get lead schools within your
- 15:53Speaker 1: conference sharing information as to you know, you're going to
- 15:56Speaker 1: get an idea. You're going to get an idea as
- 15:58Speaker 1: to what things are going for. But that is a
- 16:00Speaker 1: big piece that West Virginia wanted in that legislation so
- 16:05Speaker 1: that they can create that entity so that they can
- 16:08Speaker 1: have a means to directly pay out.
- 16:10Speaker 4: And there is some competitive parts to that. You don't
- 16:12Speaker 4: need schools out there saying they don't have enough money,
- 16:15Speaker 4: They don't have enough money to pay you. We have
- 16:17Speaker 4: all the money, like you gotta be careful from a
- 16:19Speaker 4: recruitment of players standpoint that you don't need that messaging
- 16:22Speaker 4: out there a little bit. So I get some of
- 16:24Speaker 4: the desire to be opaque on some of that.
- 16:26Speaker 3: I get that too, But at the same time, some
- 16:28Speaker 3: of that's going to be I mean, you know what
- 16:30Speaker 3: a coach makes, right, that's the matter. You know the contract,
- 16:34Speaker 3: that's a matter of public record. But the players kind
- 16:37Speaker 3: and they're gonna have contracts. They're gonna have contracts, but
- 16:40Speaker 3: that's not gonna be part of the public record, okay,
- 16:44Speaker 3: But they can put some I learned this too. You
- 16:45Speaker 3: can put some things in there, like you're gonna make
- 16:47Speaker 3: this amount of money too, and you're gonna make five
- 16:49Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars. But if you don't pay, if you
- 16:52Speaker 3: don't play in the Bowl game, you're not gonna get
- 16:55Speaker 3: You're gonna be pro rated out a certain amount of
- 16:57Speaker 3: money I put into I don't know if you care
- 16:59Speaker 3: about this. I put into chat GPT. Excuse me, who
- 17:02Speaker 3: I put into chat GPT?
- 17:04Speaker 1: This is this? Now you're starting to fart around with that.
- 17:07Speaker 1: This is going to get dangerous real quick.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Go ahead, Well, it's just it's just discussion.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Because I think they're at it. You think you should
- 17:12Speaker 1: have a license to get on or not.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Go ahead, proceed.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Listen, if Chad GPT comes up with this, this is
- 17:19Speaker 1: no longer an obvious observation from Hopey that will disallow it.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Okay, but aren't you interested in in this?
- 17:28Speaker 3: This is a lot of money in the division money
- 17:29Speaker 3: and players are going to make the most they've made
- 17:32Speaker 3: since SMU was paying players back in But so I
- 17:39Speaker 3: put in, Okay, if you had a college football roster
- 17:42Speaker 3: and you had fifteen million.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Dollars, who would get? How would you divide up the money?
- 17:47Speaker 1: Now that's a that's a very subjective, pretty interesting prompt. Yeah,
- 17:51Speaker 1: go ahead, but let's.
- 17:53Speaker 2: See how it handles this.
- 17:53Speaker 4: Because chat GBT isn't up on its sports stuff as
- 17:56Speaker 4: of yet. It has been my experience, But go ahead.
- 17:58Speaker 3: So this it qualified said, This is a this is
- 18:00Speaker 3: a hypothetical, certainly, but if you had fifteen million and
- 18:05Speaker 3: you have one hundred and five players on the roster,
- 18:06Speaker 3: that's an average of one hundred and forty two thousand
- 18:08Speaker 3: dollars per player.
- 18:09Speaker 2: But obviously not everybody's going to get the same thing.
- 18:11Speaker 3: So what chat GPT came up with as a hypothetical
- 18:14Speaker 3: quarterback starting quarterback, how much you.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Think, well it'll be a seven figures, it.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Should be a million and a half.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Yeah, a million and a half to two million. Right,
- 18:22Speaker 3: that's a starting quarterback, top wide receiver, million and a half.
- 18:29Speaker 3: That might be a little high, top running.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Back, a milligan, defensive star pass rusher.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be over seven figures.
- 18:37Speaker 3: And they had they had at one point twenty five up,
- 18:39Speaker 3: it's higher than that highing that Okay.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Schools Texas Tech just paid two and a.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Half offensive defensive lineman. They had a nine hundred thousand piece.
- 18:49Speaker 2: But again that that's an average start first starter.
- 18:52Speaker 4: You're gonna between seven and fifty and you have five
- 18:54Speaker 4: hundred fifty first starter.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Okay, Okay.
- 18:58Speaker 3: One thing they didn't have was, you know, shut down
- 19:00Speaker 3: corners are pretty valuable.
- 19:02Speaker 2: You can pay them all.
- 19:03Speaker 3: Right, other positions five hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand,
- 19:06Speaker 3: special teams one fifty to three hundred.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Hey you got a problem, hop, Well, you just spent
- 19:10Speaker 1: fifty eight million dollars.
- 19:12Speaker 3: No, it comes out, it comes one hundred and fifty
- 19:15Speaker 3: thousand and three hundred. It comes out to fifteen million.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Okay, So do they pay everyone? Do all hundred? Do
- 19:21Speaker 1: all eighty five players get paid or do some not
- 19:23Speaker 1: get paid?
- 19:24Speaker 2: All right, move on, We're not.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Just find it. I just wanted to see what.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Okay, Well, the point being I was just looking for
- 19:30Speaker 2: some I think.
- 19:31Speaker 1: I mean that is that is a generalization. It's not
- 19:35Speaker 1: too far away.
- 19:36Speaker 3: That you're gonna pay. You're gonna pay more for the
- 19:38Speaker 3: skilled players. Sure, you know the stretch of the field,
- 19:41Speaker 3: wide receivers, the quarterback, the shutdown corners, the defensive end.
- 19:45Speaker 1: What they're gonna they're gonna use.
- 19:47Speaker 4: You use catch it, you guard the pass, and you
- 19:49Speaker 4: rush the passer, and you block for the passer.
- 19:51Speaker 2: There's your spots.
- 19:52Speaker 1: You're gonna they're using the pro model, like West Virginia.
- 19:55Speaker 1: West Virginia is talking and have Rich has been talking
- 19:58Speaker 1: with his folks with the pro people and going, okay,
- 20:01Speaker 1: tell us how you value people, and that's how they
- 20:04Speaker 1: do it. And so it'll be a it'll be a version.
- 20:06Speaker 4: Of that quarterback left tackle. You need a receiver, you
- 20:09Speaker 4: need a pass rusher, but you.
- 20:11Speaker 3: Can't But also you can't commit all your money now
- 20:15Speaker 3: because what happens in December when the portal reopens.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know a lot of things moving.
- 20:22Speaker 1: With those contracts. Yeah, those contracts that you had. I mean,
- 20:25Speaker 1: so if someone pops then you.
- 20:27Speaker 2: You know well.
- 20:27Speaker 4: And so then on the basketball side, as we've seen
- 20:30Speaker 4: since March, we're in what April, first of April, so
- 20:33Speaker 4: in a month, there's some guys where that market has tripled.
- 20:37Speaker 4: It has tripled since March.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Wow.
- 20:39Speaker 4: So that's part of the equation too, is you put
- 20:42Speaker 4: some hard numbers down when you're trying to go out
- 20:44Speaker 4: and get your guys, and then all of a sudden,
- 20:46Speaker 4: a couple of people pay and the market's now blown up,
- 20:49Speaker 4: and now the market resets itself. Happened last year when
- 20:52Speaker 4: Mark Pope got the Kentucky job. Their balance changed, the
- 20:56Speaker 4: balance across the sport. It's happening again right now. And
- 20:59Speaker 4: I think some of the that's due to these schools
- 21:01Speaker 4: think they have some more money coming in and it's
- 21:04Speaker 4: blown the market wide open.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Again.
- 21:06Speaker 3: Think about this too, So if you go the if
- 21:08Speaker 3: you go the model and with this would be exact,
- 21:10Speaker 3: but like seventy five, fifteen, five and five. So if
- 21:13Speaker 3: men's basketball gets fifteen percent fifteen percent of twenty million,
- 21:18Speaker 3: twenty a half million is three million, can you do
- 21:21Speaker 3: basketball in the Big twelve and three million. Okay, then
- 21:25Speaker 3: it comes from somewhere, so the football has less.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Got to remember, no, not necessarily. You also have NIL commitments,
- 21:31Speaker 1: so you can get other moneies. You can get other
- 21:34Speaker 1: moneies from other people.
- 21:35Speaker 3: How much is available there well, and it's got to
- 21:38Speaker 3: be in relation. You can't just give somebody a million
- 21:40Speaker 3: dollars and so you're a spokesman.
- 21:41Speaker 1: For technically you're not supposed to be able to. But
- 21:44Speaker 1: schools will fund this through nil as well. We had
- 21:47Speaker 1: a crazy one yesterday. JT toppin the Big twelve Player
- 21:51Speaker 1: of the Year for Texas Texts said he's going to stay,
- 21:53Speaker 1: which surprised a lot of people. He could have gone
- 21:55Speaker 1: on to the NBA second Roundish guy, he's going to
- 22:00Speaker 1: go back tech SEC for four million dollars. That kind
- 22:02Speaker 1: of resets the report. Uncon whispered again four million, four million.
- 22:08Speaker 1: But they've got they're they're the exception of the rule
- 22:10Speaker 1: because they've got some fun, fun guy. Some guys with
- 22:13Speaker 1: funds that are billionaires that are young, like they're so
- 22:17Speaker 1: young that they're like still into it. Like a lot
- 22:20Speaker 1: of times older guys go like nine doing this, but
- 22:22Speaker 1: like some younger guys that just sold their company for
- 22:24Speaker 1: four billion dollars in oil and gas company. They're like,
- 22:28Speaker 1: what do we need?
- 22:29Speaker 3: How do you how do you do that? I mean,
- 22:31Speaker 3: how do you do that? Using outside nil? I mean,
- 22:35Speaker 3: what's the I mean does he do commercials that are
- 22:38Speaker 3: worth a million dollars?
- 22:41Speaker 2: Bread? How do you do it?
- 22:42Speaker 1: There's ways certain things you can do. But that's that's
- 22:49Speaker 1: that's the number. Okay, three guys before the game is
- 22:53Speaker 1: brought to us by Jan Dill's attorneys at law. If
- 22:57Speaker 1: you're someone that has been in the workforce over time,
- 23:00Speaker 1: you know that you pay into Social Security. We all
- 23:03Speaker 1: pay into Social Security, and unfortunately, sometimes life changing events
- 23:10Speaker 1: take place, a significant injury that does not allow you
- 23:14Speaker 1: to work, despite the fact that you may want to work,
- 23:17Speaker 1: but you can't work, then you need some help. You
- 23:21Speaker 1: need to get additional Social Security disability benefits. That's a
- 23:26Speaker 1: difficult chore because because because because eighty eight percent of
- 23:31Speaker 1: people who file a Social Security disability claim get rejected
- 23:36Speaker 1: on their first attempt. That's why it would make a
- 23:40Speaker 1: great deal of sense that if you contact and have
- 23:42Speaker 1: a need or someone that you know has a need
- 23:45Speaker 1: in this world of social Security disability claims, go to
- 23:48Speaker 1: Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law. They've basically created their business

- 23:57Speaker 1: no matter where you are, contact j Deals Attorneys at Law,
- 24:01Speaker 1: and they suggest do it right from the beginning because

- 24:06Speaker 1: that they get the initial rejection. So check it out.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Visit Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law. That's Jan Dill's Attorneys
- 24:15Speaker 1: at Law. I'll be in Parker's there, she's based in Parkersburg,

- 24:27Speaker 1: Sure someone from Jen Dill's. I mean Jan could even
- 24:30Speaker 1: Jen Jan might even be there. Three guys also brought
- 24:33Speaker 1: to us by Comac's Business System, keeping West Virginia's business
- 24:35Speaker 1: data safe, secure and efficient for twenty five years. I
- 24:39Speaker 1: mean never more than now. Do you need good water?
- 24:44Speaker 1: And one of the outlets that one of the things
- 24:45Speaker 1: that they when I say they do everything from a
- 24:47Speaker 1: is so every kind of business equipment you could possibly need,
- 24:50Speaker 1: but these water systems now that they have these machines, Uh,
- 24:54Speaker 1: just gets away all the clutter in your break room.
- 24:57Speaker 1: So if you've got folks that in bibe water and
- 25:01Speaker 1: they're like, you don't want sink water, because let's just
- 25:03Speaker 1: be honest, can we just say this sink water really sucks.
- 25:06Speaker 1: You don't want that, Brad, do you agree with that?
- 25:08Speaker 4: You can just say the water you don't have to
- 25:10Speaker 4: attack everything. You just attack everything in here? Just why
- 25:14Speaker 4: did you attack? The water is really good here that
- 25:16Speaker 4: you're talking about. You don't have to attack everything else.
- 25:19Speaker 1: The reason why you need really if you get it
- 25:21Speaker 1: from the sink, you drink out of.
- 25:22Speaker 4: It, it would just be a big negative recruiting. He
- 25:25Speaker 4: would just be assaulting other school.
- 25:27Speaker 2: You don't want to go there.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Kerchival, why would you play for him? All of his
- 25:30Speaker 1: players hate him anyway. At Coomas Business Systems, they have
- 25:35Speaker 1: these nifty new water systems Hot and cold. Check them
- 25:39Speaker 1: out as a Comax LV.
- 25:41Speaker 2: It's the best water in the world. Yeah, I don't
- 25:43Speaker 2: know if I've confirmed that. Yeah it is, but he
- 25:45Speaker 2: can I have one quick question. I'll move on from
- 25:47Speaker 2: this thing that I'm obsessing about.
- 25:49Speaker 3: Clearly, if if you were in charge and you of
- 25:53Speaker 3: the budget at WU football. We'll go to W basketball
- 25:57Speaker 3: as well, And I'm not going to name a starting quarterback.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Hising quarterback is going to be what would you budget
- 26:02Speaker 3: for the starting quarterback knowing what we know today? Borring
- 26:06Speaker 3: somebody else coming in, what would you budget for the
- 26:07Speaker 3: starting quarterback at WU?
- 26:09Speaker 4: It depends, It depends. So that number that you gave
- 26:12Speaker 4: there is probably in the range, but that's the average there.
- 26:15Speaker 4: If you've got a guy that has not started before,
- 26:17Speaker 4: it may be a little bit less than that. If
- 26:19Speaker 4: you get a returning guy save the year when Will
- 26:21Speaker 4: Greer came back for his second season, yeah, that number
- 26:24Speaker 4: is going to be significantly higher. So that's in the range.
- 26:27Speaker 4: But it depends on experience. Is Rich going to use
- 26:30Speaker 4: two different guys You're going to rotate too throughout the
- 26:33Speaker 4: whole season. If it does, that changes the dollar amount.
- 26:36Speaker 4: So that's why those numbers are flexible and movable. And
- 26:39Speaker 4: then some of it, like buying a house, who else
- 26:41Speaker 4: is bidding on the house?
- 26:42Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 26:43Speaker 4: Right, that factors into it. And if it's a starting,
- 26:45Speaker 4: returning starter, how badly do you want to keep him
- 26:47Speaker 4: or do you feel like he had a great year
- 26:49Speaker 4: and he did everything he can do. Fine, we're not
- 26:51Speaker 4: paying that.
- 26:52Speaker 2: We'll let him.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Walk and we can go replace it with a couple
- 26:55Speaker 4: of guys that get you close to that. But it's
- 26:57Speaker 4: a lower cap number. That's all the equation that they're
- 26:59Speaker 4: working on.
- 27:00Speaker 1: I think to answer your question, over time, it will
- 27:04Speaker 1: be seven figures, whether that's a million, a million and
- 27:07Speaker 1: a half, and who knows, you know, one day down
- 27:09Speaker 1: the road you might get some absolute stunning star kid
- 27:13Speaker 1: could be making two to two and a half.
- 27:15Speaker 2: It's not far down the road.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I mean saying, you know, but you
- 27:18Speaker 1: don't know when. But so i'd say a minimum of
- 27:20Speaker 1: a million and then go and then go from there.
- 27:23Speaker 2: By the way, that redshare number goes up four percent
- 27:25Speaker 2: every year.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Yeah, for ten years. Yeah, So think about that four
- 27:30Speaker 1: percent when you're doing it. When you started off for
- 27:32Speaker 1: twenty million dollars, that adds up kind of quickly, right, But.
- 27:35Speaker 4: You just saw how fast your roster cap adds up. Yeah,
- 27:38Speaker 4: because you know, we've been through that exercise. On the
- 27:39Speaker 4: basketball side, you can get to that three four five
- 27:42Speaker 4: million in a heartbeat and not even blink.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Yeah, we were slotting players during the season going okay, here, here, here,
- 27:49Speaker 1: and go okay, guys, you're over.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Well, got four guys on your roster. Can you play
- 27:55Speaker 2: for the four? Norman Dale, Norman, the team is on
- 27:59Speaker 2: the floor.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Those are my four. Okay, So let me say one more,
- 28:05Speaker 1: one last thing about football. It's unfortunate, really unfortunate that
- 28:12Speaker 1: players have been for lack of a better term, you know,
- 28:16Speaker 1: released or cut. As you said, I mean that hurts.
- 28:21Speaker 1: That hurts man a ton, and it impacts the person,
- 28:24Speaker 1: it impacts their family. They thought they had a plan,
- 28:26Speaker 1: you know, but unfortunately this is business now more so
- 28:32Speaker 1: than it ever has been business, and unfortunately they're learning
- 28:35Speaker 1: that and it's hard. Yeah, it's a hard, hard thing.
- 28:39Speaker 1: I don't know what it'll resolve to as far as
- 28:41Speaker 1: what the number is going to be, but it's just
- 28:44Speaker 1: a business. And we say it. It's kind of a
- 28:46Speaker 1: trite expression, but it literally is true.
- 28:48Speaker 3: Well, take those five freshmen that were recruited by Neil
- 28:51Speaker 3: Brown staff, right, and then all I'm said, I'm recruited
- 28:55Speaker 3: by Neil Brown.
- 28:56Speaker 2: I'm going to West Virginia.
- 28:57Speaker 3: The staff has to be there, Oh, coaching change, and
- 29:00Speaker 3: I gotta go somewhere.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Else, correct, Yeah, it's hard. It's hard. Uh, you ready
- 29:05Speaker 1: to do spreads on stats? Okay, so we're gonna do
- 29:08Speaker 1: spreads on stats. Not that we're playing anyone here, of
- 29:12Speaker 1: of like, but Brad is going to break down the
- 29:15Speaker 1: newest members of the Mountaineer basketball roster he has, Yeah,
- 29:21Speaker 1: he has dug in and it's time for spreads.
- 29:26Speaker 2: I'll just go to the numbers. He's still making notes. Yeah,
- 29:30Speaker 2: it doesn't doesn't stop, doesn't stop.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Analytic worship of the show Spreads on Stats is brought
- 29:37Speaker 1: to us by Conley CPA Group. They provide value beyond numbers.
- 29:44Speaker 1: What's that mean? Whether a complete service public accounting from
- 29:49Speaker 1: They consult with their clients to give them the best
- 29:51Speaker 1: advice as to how to how do you say navigate
- 29:56Speaker 1: the circuitous routes that are presented to us by very
- 30:00Speaker 1: tax laws? Mean you think the House settlement's confusing? Once
- 30:05Speaker 1: you gonna pick up tax Law fortieth anniversary going on
- 30:08Speaker 1: right now. They've been here in West Virginia over forty years,
- 30:11Speaker 1: and that means they've stood the test of time successfully.
- 30:14Speaker 1: You can outsource your accounting, You can outsource your CFO services.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Visit our fine folks at Conley CPA group. All right,
- 30:25Speaker 1: what do we get?
- 30:27Speaker 4: It's interesting how Ross is starting the roster build here
- 30:31Speaker 4: going in size, big, go in size right away. You've
- 30:34Speaker 4: got a seven footer book, You've got a six eight
- 30:36Speaker 4: six' nine In Brennan, laurient and you've got a six
- 30:39Speaker 4: to eight freshman IN Dj thomas committed. Already so let's.
- 30:43Speaker 4: Start let's go down this. List we're gonna start With
- 30:45Speaker 4: harlan obioha seven, footer most previously or previously AT Unc.
- 30:52Speaker 4: Wilmington prior to that was At. Niagara so here's what
- 30:56Speaker 4: you start with. Him AND i think you take it
- 30:58Speaker 4: from the lens of What Ross hodge is going to
- 31:01Speaker 4: try and. Do where he builds it defensively first and
- 31:04Speaker 4: then you go to the offensive. End and so you're
- 31:06Speaker 4: looking for as many good defenders in size as you
- 31:08Speaker 4: can possibly. Get, hoppy it begins there With, harlan a seven,
- 31:12Speaker 4: footer but he also brings some other things to the.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Table here an.
- 31:15Speaker 4: Elite offensive rebounder last year per Ken. Palm so WHEN
- 31:20Speaker 4: i reference these national rankings for, players What kenpalm dot
- 31:24Speaker 4: com does ranks twenty three hundred and six college players
- 31:29Speaker 4: and lists national ranks for different. Guys harlan comes in
- 31:35Speaker 4: sixteenth best offensive rebounding.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Percentage it's pretty. Good you'll take.
- 31:40Speaker 4: That he's top three percent when it comes to a
- 31:43Speaker 4: shot blocker Per Ken. Palm so there's your defensive anchor
- 31:47Speaker 4: in the, middle AND i thought we saw that a
- 31:49Speaker 4: lot this year When eduardo andre would come into the.
- 31:51Speaker 4: Game the size in the middle changes what you're able
- 31:55Speaker 4: to do, defensively and it changes how you have to attack.
- 31:58Speaker 4: Offensively from a defensive percent, perspective that pressure can increase
- 32:02Speaker 4: on ball because if you get, beat you've got a
- 32:05Speaker 4: big dude waiting back there to alter a. Shot SO
- 32:07Speaker 4: i think this is critical to start with a guy
- 32:09Speaker 4: In Harlan, obioha who is an elite shot, blocker already
- 32:13Speaker 4: brings you great, size has some, Mobility i'm told from
- 32:16Speaker 4: another college coach not with THE wv, program really high
- 32:19Speaker 4: motor for. Him so if you can get twenty to
- 32:22Speaker 4: twenty five minutes a, game twenty seven minutes out of
- 32:25Speaker 4: a game out of, him that's a really good start
- 32:27Speaker 4: on the defensive. Side, offensively if he can give you
- 32:30Speaker 4: a couple, putbacks that's really. Impressive he was a big.
- 32:33Speaker 4: Dunker guy's almost every highlight you see of him when
- 32:35Speaker 4: he got the ball, inside he was looking.
- 32:37Speaker 2: To cram the.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Thing what's that thing down?
- 32:38Speaker 2: There he's looking to cram.
- 32:39Speaker 1: That he's not a thin.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Guy he's got some bulk to.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Him he's twice.
- 32:43Speaker 2: To move out of the. Post he's seven. Foot how
- 32:45Speaker 2: much is your? Way how much does you? WAIT i
- 32:47Speaker 2: don't know that he's making Seventy yeah to.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Seventy he had fifteen games last year with double figure,
- 32:53Speaker 4: points four games with double figure. Rebounds so, again you're
- 32:56Speaker 4: guy going to focus on the, boards block, shots alter,
- 32:59Speaker 4: shots gets some. Putbacks he was also this is an interesting.
- 33:02Speaker 4: Stat now this may change because he's putting A West
- 33:05Speaker 4: virginia jersey. On but he was top three percent nationally
- 33:08Speaker 4: and fouls drawn per forty.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Minutes, yeah that's over.
- 33:11Speaker 2: With man may change.
- 33:13Speaker 4: UP i, mean somehow you put the gold blow and
- 33:14Speaker 4: even don't get. Falcls it only a sixty two percent
- 33:17Speaker 4: free throw. Shooters he's got to work on.
- 33:19Speaker 3: That but he got to the line you're saying when
- 33:20Speaker 3: he gets the ball down, low three guys are.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Hanger he was he was trying to dunk it or
- 33:24Speaker 4: they were fouling. It, yeah, yeah That's that's basically what was.
- 33:26Speaker 4: Happening so that's the. Start harlan obioha arrives as a seven,
- 33:30Speaker 4: footer stick him right in the middle of that. Defense
- 33:33Speaker 4: and let's go another addition Following ross From North texas
- 33:37Speaker 4: six' Nine. Brennan larient this is an intriguing, prospect. Here
- 33:41Speaker 4: guys he had a really good year. Last year began
- 33:44Speaker 4: his Career At florida Atlantic For. Dusty may and we've
- 33:47Speaker 4: heard some Comments From dusty may about how much he
- 33:49Speaker 4: Thinks About ross hodge and he specifically ren told the
- 33:52Speaker 4: story about Talking To dusty may and his Comments about
- 33:56Speaker 4: ross that Rossk Thought dusty May thought ross got more
- 34:00Speaker 4: Out of Laurient Than dusty may would have had he,
- 34:03Speaker 4: coached him which was a pretty which is pretty. High
- 34:06Speaker 4: praise laureent really popped on the scene. Last year second
- 34:09Speaker 4: best offensive rating on the Team For. North texas he
- 34:12Speaker 4: was named AS The Aac american Conference sixth man Of.
- 34:15Speaker 4: The Year ken palm had him as one of his
- 34:19Speaker 4: five First TEAM all. Aac players athletic guy can, really
- 34:24Speaker 4: guard but his offensive game started to blossom a little bit.
- 34:27Speaker 4: Last year of those national rankings we Talked About ken
- 34:31Speaker 4: palm does it in eighteen. Different categories laurient was nationally
- 34:35Speaker 4: ranked in ten of. Those categories, pretty good top twenty
- 34:40Speaker 4: percent in ten of. Those categories he's top five percent in.
- 34:44Speaker 4: Blocked shots so you have one guy that was top
- 34:47Speaker 4: three percent in, block shots another one that was top
- 34:49Speaker 4: five percent in. Block rate that's a pretty good start
- 34:52Speaker 4: for a program that wants to build. Itself defensively he
- 34:55Speaker 4: was nearly a sixty percent two. Point shooter he was nearly,
- 34:59Speaker 4: a fifth efty percent right, at fifty depending on what
- 35:01Speaker 4: stats you. Look at there's conflicting. Stats there hop one
- 35:04Speaker 4: had him with twenty. Three attempts one had him with,
- 35:06Speaker 4: twenty two made eleven of those of the twenty two
- 35:09Speaker 4: to fifty, percent shooters so didn't shoot, a lot but
- 35:11Speaker 4: was able to step out and.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Do that he's projected three point shooter using three.
- 35:15Speaker 4: Point, Shooter yes Evanmaya dot com has a projection site
- 35:19Speaker 4: where you can take players based on their career numbers or,
- 35:21Speaker 4: last numbers project them forward on where. They'll land he
- 35:25Speaker 4: Has laurent as in the eighty fourth percentile and, rebounding
- 35:29Speaker 4: rate so you already seek in just in two guys
- 35:33Speaker 4: where that's starting to be, built defensively, block shots get
- 35:37Speaker 4: after it on. The, glass okay pretty good starting point.
- 35:39Speaker 4: Right there i'm interested To watch laurient BECAUSE he i
- 35:43Speaker 4: think the runway for him offensively is. Really high, all
- 35:46Speaker 4: right pay attention to this.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Next one are? You.
- 35:48Speaker 4: Ready yes one of THE databases i use is allows
- 35:51Speaker 4: you to go in and grab comps for different players
- 35:55Speaker 4: based just on their. Statistical profile so you've got to
- 35:58Speaker 4: take that with a grain. Of salt Not saying laurent
- 36:01Speaker 4: is going to be, these guys but the statistical profile
- 36:04Speaker 4: that he put up last Year At north texas comped
- 36:08Speaker 4: out to These different big. Twelve, players, Okay alrighty tony listening.
- 36:12Speaker 4: To this i'm on the scale goes up to one
- 36:15Speaker 4: hundred for a. Perfect match so here are a couple.
- 36:20Speaker 4: Of guys i'll give you three that matched at an
- 36:22Speaker 4: eighty five on a scale of, One hundred so not the,
- 36:26Speaker 4: exact player but statistically very. Very close The three big
- 36:31Speaker 4: twelve Players that laurent season last year.
- 36:34Speaker 2: Matched Up with he's building. This Up, Josh Jefferson, Iowa state.
- 36:39Speaker 1: OH yeah i.
- 36:39Speaker 2: TAKE cam i ticked out.
- 36:40Speaker 4: Right Now absolutely if that translates up To a big
- 36:43Speaker 4: twelve Season like jefferson. Just had, right now how about
- 36:47Speaker 4: a gentleman by the name Of Nord chado Meir, FROM
- 36:49Speaker 4: baylor A double. Dublea hoppy you looked at him up. Close,
- 36:54Speaker 4: alive yeah he was the value double. Double machine may
- 36:58Speaker 4: have heard of a gentleman playing Down in lubbock by
- 37:01Speaker 4: the NAME.
- 37:01Speaker 2: OF. J T. Toppin, yep yeah don't, you blast don't?
- 37:05Speaker 1: You blast fame in, here now don't? You blaspheme are
- 37:08Speaker 1: you wait?
- 37:09Speaker 4: A minute are you building up this guy To be i'm,
- 37:11Speaker 4: JUST saying i AM saying i do think the runway
- 37:14Speaker 4: is significant here in the upside and what he did
- 37:17Speaker 4: in the jump from one year to. The, next, now
- 37:19Speaker 4: again it's a it's a. Different level it's a different level.
- 37:22Speaker 4: Of athlete you're getting a different caliber of. Basketball player
- 37:25Speaker 4: all due respect To the american, OF course i get
- 37:27Speaker 4: that you're jumping up, in level but from a, statistical
- 37:31Speaker 4: standpoint it matches up with those. Three guys if you
- 37:34Speaker 4: get anywhere in the ballpark at those, three guys you're,
- 37:36Speaker 4: taking that aren't? You sure he had an eighty four
- 37:39Speaker 4: Match With hunter Dickinson, of kansas First Team all. Conference player, Pretty,
- 37:45Speaker 4: GOOD yeah. A, Good yeah lorient will look to hammer
- 37:48Speaker 4: that ball to twenty nine dunks and thirty four, games
- 37:50Speaker 4: played by, the.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Way so you're gonna get one two hundred and. Eighty
- 37:53Speaker 1: pounds they had him listed At, Unc obioha yeah. To
- 37:56Speaker 1: Eighty So.
- 37:57Speaker 3: West virginia fans, like defense like, dunks too so we
- 38:00Speaker 3: could get some of those some.
- 38:01Speaker 4: Rib, Rattlers yeah laurent, Very athletics so get, him out
- 38:04Speaker 4: get him run a.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Little bit.
- 38:05Speaker 4: Ros said there's gonna be times when they're gonna pick
- 38:07Speaker 4: to get, in TRANSITION but i think you've got that's
- 38:09Speaker 4: a really nice starting point for.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Two.
- 38:11Speaker 4: Guys again you see the defensive credentials that come. Through
- 38:14Speaker 4: there you see the rebounding prowess for both. Of them good,
- 38:17Speaker 4: start there good, good analysis. Good insights, all right couple.
- 38:21Speaker 4: Other things let's do a quick HIT On.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Dj thomas how was an interview we had last night
- 38:26Speaker 1: with his associate. Head, coach wow.
- 38:29Speaker 4: Incredibly impressive if you, missed it go back and check
- 38:32Speaker 4: out the podcast version Of sports Line from. Wednesday night
- 38:35Speaker 4: It was it was really. Eye opening my man plays
- 38:37Speaker 4: at a high school with seven. Thousand students Alan. In
- 38:41Speaker 4: Texas max preps has him as a top thirty. National
- 38:44Speaker 4: program thomas comes in six' eight kid and, Again true
- 38:48Speaker 4: freshmen so you don't know how many minutes You're. Gonna
- 38:50Speaker 4: get westford IN last year i had to play a
- 38:52Speaker 4: couple of true freshmen a lot more minutes. Than you
- 38:54Speaker 4: like but this guy's body's. Ready right now you go
- 38:56Speaker 4: watch some of the, film on him hop. And he's ready.
- 38:59Speaker 4: Six to eight can step out, and shoot it he
- 39:01Speaker 4: can pass it, a little bit he can get, on
- 39:03Speaker 4: the block he can go, to the rim he can,
- 39:05Speaker 4: hammer the dunk. HE can play i mean kind of
- 39:07Speaker 4: brings a lot to. The table here and his coach told,
- 39:09Speaker 4: US last night i just thought he was, really under
- 39:11Speaker 4: recruited didn't have some of the explosiveness maybe in his
- 39:14Speaker 4: junior year that some other guys at, the position Had
- 39:17Speaker 4: and thinks ross has a STEAL Here with dj thomas.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Also described him a little bit. Similar to, you very
- 39:23Speaker 1: serious like he don't fool around and. Serious, is good yeah,
- 39:28Speaker 1: serious is good and like he. He's gonna play he
- 39:31Speaker 1: gonna come.
- 39:31Speaker 4: In play now part of why he may be very.
- 39:34Speaker 4: Serious in nature this was a really interesting Tidbit that
- 39:38Speaker 4: coach barklay gave us that you know you. Don't hear
- 39:40Speaker 4: often don't know how many. Times it's happened maybe. Not
- 39:42Speaker 4: a lot count on one, Hand, or zero yeah that.
- 39:45Speaker 4: This has happened that DJ's mom has an, interesting occupation, okay,
- 39:51Speaker 4: military okay. Okay, tactical, sniper.
- 39:58Speaker 2: Wow.
- 39:59Speaker 1: Yeah tactical sniper and coach said she she. Doesn't Play
- 40:03Speaker 1: around what i'm going to? TRY to do i thought when, she,
- 40:06Speaker 1: Comes In, right john, Hammond, rifle coach yeah bring her.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Onto the range i'm. SURE you know i know it's
- 40:12Speaker 1: two it's, apples AND oranges but i bet you she
- 40:14Speaker 1: would like love to see. That whole thing you.
- 40:16Speaker 2: Can set that up games a couple.
- 40:18Speaker 4: Of breathing exercises you think she would hand Her.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Breathing and john would be more than happy to kind
- 40:22Speaker 1: of show. Her around there but that's. Kind of wild
- 40:24Speaker 1: or his mom is a tactical sniper.
- 40:27Speaker 2: In the.
- 40:27Speaker 3: Military it's incredible so probably why the sun's serious it's. A,
- 40:31Speaker 3: heart attack.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Yeah How about the how about the height on.
- 40:35Speaker 4: These, early guys yeah that's so You can tell ross's building,
- 40:38Speaker 4: this out first trying to get some size, here on board.
- 40:40Speaker 2: Which is great you need.
- 40:42Speaker 1: That, IF you remember i don't know if he said
- 40:43Speaker 1: us publicly or when we were just, kind of chatting
- 40:45Speaker 1: he set you've got to have a very large five man.
- 40:50Speaker 1: In his philosophy i've got to have a very imposing
- 40:54Speaker 1: big man in front of the basket.
- 40:56Speaker 2: So, he's addressed yeah so that's. Where it is those.
- 41:00Speaker 4: ARE the commitments A Couple other north texas guys still in.
- 41:03Speaker 4: The portal uncommitted we'll just talk about those, as they
- 41:07Speaker 4: come if they, come to fruition as well as some
- 41:09Speaker 4: other portal work obviously being.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Done right now so what is your early grade on, the,
- 41:13Speaker 2: EARLY portal folks.
- 41:16Speaker 4: I think pretty good BASED on what i just told.
- 41:18Speaker 4: You right there now you got to see. These guys
- 41:19Speaker 4: live they've got. To translate up that's always the big
- 41:22Speaker 4: question right when YOU'RE Coming from Unc Wilmington, or north
- 41:25Speaker 4: texas the ability. To transfer it but from a size
- 41:27Speaker 4: and athleticism and production that they did at, THE other
- 41:31Speaker 4: level i think you're in really good shape here right out.
- 41:33Speaker 4: Of the gate thomas is really interesting as a, freshman
- 41:36Speaker 4: because again if you can build your roster as such
- 41:39Speaker 4: that you don't have to play him twenty five, minutes a.
- 41:41Speaker 4: Game THAT'S great but i think in today's, day and
- 41:43Speaker 4: age you're probably gonna get guys on the floor that
- 41:45Speaker 4: you need, On the floor but if that can be
- 41:46Speaker 4: somebody that you can stick for a, Couple, of years
- 41:48Speaker 4: yeah because that's the balance. You're working here you got
- 41:50Speaker 4: to find your eight guys that you're, going to play
- 41:52Speaker 4: but you've also got to try and mix some guys
- 41:54Speaker 4: in so you're not having to go through thirteen to
- 41:57Speaker 4: fifteen new guys next year for the. THIRD consecutive year
- 42:00Speaker 4: i think it's a it's a really good Early. Start
- 42:01Speaker 4: for rossadje.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is brought to us by

- 53:12Speaker 1: Was years Ago, Kevin, in princeton right obviously you.
- 53:15Speaker 2: Have not forgotten not think.
- 53:17Speaker 1: It's funny Now kevin, in PRINCETON writes what i love
- 53:20Speaker 1: about the show is you have all three types of
- 53:23Speaker 1: kids In the class brad's the, voice, of reason no,
- 53:26Speaker 1: don't do it don't. Say that joke and now it's
- 53:28Speaker 1: a new popcorn, that isn't finalized announced a tentative date of.
- 53:31Speaker 1: The food truck. Hoppy's the instigator what was the joke?

- 53:39Speaker 1: dare sure i'll tell. You the joke, love the show
- 53:41Speaker 1: and that was. A HILARIOUS joke but i am reporting
- 53:43Speaker 1: you all to the principle you guys are getting. Detention.
- 53:46Speaker 2: FOR sure yeah i think he nailed. That, pretty, well
- 53:48Speaker 2: yes right type cast. That.
- 53:50Speaker 1: Pretty Well yep next texter Writes, In, From ohio tony
- 53:54Speaker 1: Brad And. Cold lunch hoppy can you explain this revenue
- 53:58Speaker 1: share in the relationship? WITH the trust i, know IT'S
- 54:01Speaker 1: coming but i can't find a straight answer on how
- 54:03Speaker 1: the two will be interwined or? Will they, be for
- 54:06Speaker 1: example what a school have available revenue Sharing Funds With
- 54:11Speaker 1: country roads trust funds in addition to that or will
- 54:16Speaker 1: it all be out of. The same, Pot thanks Guys. Jason,
- 54:19Speaker 1: in ohio okay AS best, As, i can okay AS best.
- 54:29Speaker 1: As i can some variation of the trust will COME. Internal,
- 54:34Speaker 1: to wvu okay some, of it will but you also
- 54:39Speaker 1: have to have that external not with the university collective
- 54:46Speaker 1: or trust that can handle those additional dollars that would
- 54:50Speaker 1: come in that a student. Athlete could make so, in
- 54:53Speaker 1: OTHER words if i cut My deal With brad and
- 54:56Speaker 1: i'm the university and we did, our Deal done But
- 55:02Speaker 1: hoppy owns, hoppy's beer, COMPANY well no i. Can't use
- 55:06Speaker 1: beer hoppy owns, a tire company But he wants brad,
- 55:10Speaker 1: as an. Influencer A spokesperson then hoppy has to go to.
- 55:17Speaker 1: The external entity they'll advise him to go to the
- 55:21Speaker 1: external entity to fund the job That he wants. Brad
- 55:26Speaker 1: to do. That, makes, sense now conversely you don't have
- 55:30Speaker 1: to do. It That way if hoppy's a tire company
- 55:34Speaker 1: just Went, straight to brad he could just cut a Deal,
- 55:38Speaker 1: straight with bread but they would still have to be
- 55:41Speaker 1: some you. Have to documentation you have to, have some
- 55:44Speaker 1: documentation but you could still go directly.
- 55:46Speaker 4: To the person because part of this is they say
- 55:48Speaker 4: they're going to set up a clearing house that will,
- 55:50Speaker 4: approve THESE deals which i still have a lot of
- 55:53Speaker 4: questions about the. Legality of that that seems like it's
- 55:55Speaker 4: a disaster and a lawsuit.
- 55:57Speaker 2: Waiting to happen so you're saying it wouldn't because what.
- 56:01Speaker 4: It's worth in alabama isn't what, it's worth here just
- 56:03Speaker 4: like a house is not worth the same based on
- 56:06Speaker 4: where it is market values what somebody. Will pay you
- 56:09Speaker 4: how can an independent entity trying to sign market value, To,
- 56:12Speaker 4: this stuff well that's that's in essence taking. AWAY market value,
- 56:17Speaker 4: I don't know i'll.
- 56:18Speaker 2: Tell you this you raise, A.
- 56:19Speaker 3: GOOD point brad i, would think though just like, for
- 56:21Speaker 3: a house you can determine market, market, value comparables right,
- 56:25Speaker 3: so you can.
- 56:26Speaker 4: But don't get me started. On that process they do
- 56:29Speaker 4: not get me started. On THAT process but i think
- 56:31Speaker 4: this is. Challengeable to infinity. So stay tuned, so.
- 56:36Speaker 2: YOU'RE saying okay i Am fascinating, Because i'll say i'll
- 56:41Speaker 2: just give you.
- 56:41Speaker 4: One little example there's one, hundred of, Them all right
- 56:43Speaker 4: but gymnastics is bigger in certain parts of the. Country
- 56:46Speaker 4: than others so Who's To, say livy dunn WHO was
- 56:49Speaker 4: at lsu making a, ton of money should have a
- 56:52Speaker 4: deal approved in a similar fashion to what. A gymnast does.
- 56:55Speaker 4: It can state now they'll, say, to you well we'll take,
- 56:58Speaker 4: that into account and we'll we'll take in different market
- 57:01Speaker 4: variabilities and where. Sports ARE popular but i think that's.
- 57:04Speaker 4: Rought with argument, IN my opinion.
- 57:07Speaker 3: I think THIS is as, I said earlier i think
- 57:09Speaker 3: this is one of the most fascinating parts of the
- 57:12Speaker 3: change of the. College SPORT landscape and i am in
- 57:16Speaker 3: semi retirement devoting a portion of my time to trying,
- 57:20Speaker 3: to understand.
- 57:21Speaker 2: This at least IN terms of wvu as.
- 57:23Speaker 3: COMPLETELY as possible i have another, meeting SCHEDULE too so
- 57:25Speaker 3: i want to be able to talk. About this intelligently
- 57:27Speaker 3: i'll give you another example.
- 57:28Speaker 4: From REAL world when i was in, THE department selling
- 57:30Speaker 4: i had this conversation with an ad agency executive who
- 57:34Speaker 4: was representing a, major national brand and THE person that
- 57:39Speaker 4: i was talking with was trying to get me to
- 57:41Speaker 4: drop THE price that i was charging Them For a
- 57:43Speaker 4: westford indian sponsorship because she said it was out a whack.
- 57:47Speaker 2: With what they were doing. At other schools one of.
- 57:50Speaker 4: THE first times i gave the, tell you something with,
- 57:53Speaker 4: ALL due respect i don't care what You're paying At
- 57:56Speaker 4: arkansas Or Alabama. Or boston college.
- 57:58Speaker 2: Do not care.
- 57:59Speaker 4: Doesn't affect me here's what this Rate Is. At west
- 58:03Speaker 4: virginia and if you don't want, TO pay, It i
- 58:05Speaker 4: understand we'll go find another sponsor. In your category but
- 58:08Speaker 4: you don't want, to pay it. Totally understand that but
- 58:10Speaker 4: you're not going to tell me what.
- 58:11Speaker 2: The price is this. Is the price you can either
- 58:13Speaker 2: buy it or.
- 58:14Speaker 4: Not buy it and then she kept pushing. Me on
- 58:16Speaker 4: it and this was a product that you could walk
- 58:18Speaker 4: into different. Establishments and purchase AND one things i, just,
- 58:21Speaker 4: said WAS listen when I Walk Into, new york city
- 58:23Speaker 4: they charged, me one price and it's different from the
- 58:26Speaker 4: location down THE street that. I GO to and i
- 58:28Speaker 4: don't say to The Person at New york when i'll
- 58:30Speaker 4: tell You What, IN west virginia i paid less than.
- 58:32Speaker 2: That for This here's.
- 58:33Speaker 4: What i'll get i'll GIVE you that i either pay
- 58:35Speaker 4: the price that, they're ASKING me or i don't. Buy
- 58:37Speaker 4: the product you're not going to dictate the price, is
- 58:39Speaker 4: the price take it.
- 58:40Speaker 2: Or leave it?
- 58:42Speaker 4: That's market value is that? Not MARKET value what i
- 58:46Speaker 4: could charge then get was different than what another. School
- 58:49Speaker 4: could get and there were a lot of factors that.
- 58:51Speaker 4: Go INTO that and i didn't want some arbitrary Person
- 58:54Speaker 4: sitting in oregon to come in and look at that, Deal,
- 58:56Speaker 4: And go now i'll. Tell, you what now they're paying
- 58:58Speaker 4: something that's not quite in Line Here.
- 59:00Speaker 2: At west virginia i'm going. To, Strike, THAT now well
- 59:02Speaker 2: i understand.
- 59:03Speaker 3: What you're saying and somebody may come in and go
- 59:04Speaker 3: and not have an under, and, just say well this
- 59:07Speaker 3: is what, we pay here, here and here so this
- 59:09Speaker 3: is what we think we.
- 59:09Speaker 2: SHOULD pay, you i mean that's. What THEY'RE doing but
- 59:12Speaker 2: i understand your point.
- 59:13Speaker 4: Is that we're not, limiting coaching salaries.
- 59:15Speaker 3: So you're you're saying you, can do that but this.
- 59:18Speaker 3: Is our price and then it's just about what.
- 59:21Speaker 4: Someone will pay you is what the market value is somebody,
- 59:24Speaker 4: that with coaches what what a school is willing to
- 59:27Speaker 4: pay that coach is What the market that's what.
- 59:29Speaker 2: The value is the value is what Somebody.
- 59:31Speaker 4: Will not someone's not sitting in A room, In indianapolis
- 59:33Speaker 4: going i'll tell you What You're paying kirby smart a little?
- 59:35Speaker 2: Bit too much is that? Deal getting strong but don't you.
- 59:38Speaker 3: Think that the goal is, to say, That you know
- 59:42Speaker 3: brad's going to be the, spokesman for this, for this
- 59:46Speaker 3: company for, for this, beer this brewery and we're going
- 59:51Speaker 3: to pay him. Two million dollars, and you say and the, review,
- 59:55Speaker 3: board says well that's that's that's. Out of whack how do?
- 59:58Speaker 2: You pay? That his question?
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Is, this that okay it's a fundamental it's. A fundamental,
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: question for example that's what you say it.
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: If someone's going to pay, you two million doesn't matter what.
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: Their reason is and you're in court right now because
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: you're limiting the ability of these athletes to go make
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: the market value. For their services you're going to try and.
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: Limit it again and you're telling me that's not going
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: to get. Challenged in court if someone's willing to pay,
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: you two million even if it's because it's a fan
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: of that university and they want to give that, person
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: extra money that's?
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: Their market?
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: Value is that why is it being artificially? Limited somewhere
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: Else i'm just i'm not making a judgment on whether
- 1:00:32Speaker 4: you should try and put some constraints in. Plate or
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: not i'm just saying that clearing, house to me sounds
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: like it's something that's going to get challenged. Immediately in
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: COURT and the ncaa has lost every other court case
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: It's gone against why would this one be upheld.
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: Because they would lose, because they arguably how can you
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: do you just it's restricted value.
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: That which is why they're in court. Losing right. Now
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: Right core Strict that's. All I'm, saying strict.
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: Texter which is One Player that rich rodriguez would want
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: to add to his team on offense and d defense

- 1:02:08Speaker 1: say about his contract Being Tied. To rehn baker so
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: what they're talking about there is that his buyout decreases
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: by a Certain percentage if wren is no longer. The
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: athletics Director So, did darren devrees which IS to say

- 1:02:35Speaker 1: on down now one cannot blame a person for. Betting
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: bettering themselves But We as, west virginia fans like to
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: think there's loyalty and that it's there because their. Hearts
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: are there there's really the case Is the zach frasiers
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: of the world are few. And far between this is
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: all to say that one cannot get too emotionally invested,
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: in anyone individual or you'd better get the proper mindset in,
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: the new era or expect to be. Continually let down
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: sorry about the negative nature. Of the text i'm sure
