- 0:07Chris, Yeah, we were joking. I say joking. It's it's
- 0:09not a joking manner when you say your your conference could implode last week.
- 0:13You know, when you look at Washington State and you look at Oregon State
- 0:17or kind of where they're at, what possible two teams? Who would who
- 0:22in the ACC do you think would have a trouble at the end of the
- 0:25day, kind of like what you're saying, looking around going uh oh,
- 0:27what are we gonna do? Yeah, well, I mean it's it's yeah,
- 0:31like so the we saw this happen with the PAC twelve. Same thing's
- 0:35going on in the A c C. If you know, you're not in
- 0:37the sec of the big ten. So if you if you're what for example,
- 0:43when uh U c L, a USC, Oregon, Washington were going
- 0:48with the others are saying, well, what do we do? What do
- 0:51we do Stanford keep, what do we do? What what's our We've got
- 0:54this prestige academically, what do we do? Well? Okay, they go
- 0:58to the ACC because it's the conference has followed apart and everybody's moving forward to
- 1:03another league. But if you're unfortunate to be Washington, State of arregons,
- 1:10I hate to put it this way, but nobody really wants them, so
- 1:14you're trying to fight for the best of what you have. So that's what's
- 1:17going to happen, is the top of the ACC is going to try to
- 1:21find a better deal for themselves. And you know, I think that one
- 1:26thing that might be interesting is you know, and that's the reason why Stanford
- 1:32and Cow were brought in, not because they were Stanford and Cow. They
- 1:34brought anything of value to the a SEC other than numbers. Remember, there's
- 1:40a clause in the rights of the Grant of Rights agreement that if the Conference
- 1:45has to stay, the a SEC has to stay at a certain number,
- 1:48or if they go below then the grant of rights are null and voids.
- 1:52So they brought in Stanford and Cow to boster off the numbers because they thought
- 1:56they would lose a couple. It still keeps them where they can hold the
- 2:00others feet to the fire. But what if they get in unison and leave
- 2:05That could be a problem. But then again, if you think about it,
- 2:08well, who in Unison is gonna leave? Who wants them? I
- 2:13mean, then it's like the Big twelve is kind of full with numbers.
- 2:16You certainly the SEC of the Big ten's not gonna want some of the mid
- 2:21level ACC schools. So I think a lot of them are stuck. And
- 2:24this is why they're trying to figure out what can we do to boaster our
- 2:30league to make it more viable so we don't lose ground. And this is
- 2:35the this is the ugly part of this. If you're not in one of
- 2:38the two big BOYD leagues, you're gonna eventually I'm not saying you can't compete
- 2:43on the on the football field of the basketball court, but in the long
- 2:46run, you're not gonna compete financially, and that's gonna hurt your overall program.
