2:24
Speaker 3: It is All Willie Wednesday. We thank you for being
2:27
Speaker 3: with us. This portion of the program is brought to
2:30
Speaker 3: you by Radiant Dentistry. Scott Clendenin is here this afternoon.
2:37
Speaker 3: We will have several topics to discuss. We have a
2:43
Speaker 3: special guest for our entertainment segment coming up at the
2:51
Speaker 3: bottom of the second hour. Astros, Yankees, baseball coming up
3:00
Speaker 3: at 6 o'clock when we are finished this evening. So
3:04
Speaker 3: we've got that going. And we're going to hear from
3:06
Speaker 3: A & M transfer defensive back Jordan Shaw coming up
3:10
Speaker 3: here in a little bit. SEC schools that bring back NFL, NBA,
3:19
Speaker 3: or WNBA players to their programs will face steep discipline
3:25
Speaker 3: Under a new policy apparently approved today by 16 members,
3:32
Speaker 3: although LSU abstained from voting, it was 15 to nothing.
3:37
Speaker 3: The penalties include a half-season suspension for the coach, a
3:42
Speaker 3: fine that matches 50% of the sports annual budget, and
3:46
Speaker 3: revocation of league voting rights. The member schools gave Commissioner
3:50
Speaker 3: Greg Sankey the authority to oppose additional sanctions against as needed.
3:57
Speaker 3: Pete Tample says SEC chancellors and presidents did vote 15
4:02
Speaker 3: to nothing. LSU did abstain. The vote to approve the
4:08
Speaker 3: new policy banning pro athletes was approved 16 to nothing.
4:13
Speaker 3: ACC athletic directors met today. The ACC apparently is going
4:20
Speaker 3: to join the SEC and Big Ten. Meanwhile, the NFL
4:27
Speaker 3: has gotten involved in a surprising way to me. They
4:32
Speaker 3: will inform its teams that any player who returns to
4:37
Speaker 3: the college ranks will be prohibited from signing with any
4:42
Speaker 3: NFL team that season. Adam Schefter says the league plans
4:47
Speaker 3: to provide clarity to clubs at some point, reiterating rules
4:51
Speaker 3: that remain unaltered despite a chaotic week in the NCAA.
4:58
Speaker 3: The NFL holding special league meeting today will remind teams
5:02
Speaker 3: of the rule that any player signed to an NFL
5:06
Speaker 3: contract and is cut is a free agent. That player
5:13
Speaker 3: may sign with another NFL team, the CFL, or return
5:20
Speaker 3: to college. Any player cut by an NFL team who
5:25
Speaker 3: returns to college this year will be considered a free
5:29
Speaker 3: agent and won't be subject to future draft. All of
5:36
Speaker 3: this involves... at least one A & M player, Bryson Warren, basketball,
5:44
Speaker 3: has been granted a temporary restraining order by Judge John
5:52
Speaker 3: Brick of the 272nd District Court declaring Warren eligible to
5:59
Speaker 3: participate in men's basketball activities. A hearing on this TRO
6:06
Speaker 3: was set for September 4th, which is a week from Friday.
6:17
Speaker 3: So we will see what happens. The TRO to Warren
6:25
Speaker 3: includes any member conferences, such as the SEC and the
6:30
Speaker 3: definition of those that can't restrict eligibility for Warren next season.
6:35
Speaker 3: It would prevent the SEC from applying its new eligibility policy,
6:42
Speaker 3: but all of this will be held at the courthouse
6:44
Speaker 3: September 4th. This is the issue that we've talked about
6:48
Speaker 3: and college sports is facing. Athletes who don't like the
6:55
Speaker 3: rules get a judge to allow them to do things
7:02
Speaker 3: that shouldn't be allowed to be done. Rangers, White Sox tonight.
7:08
Speaker 3: The Rangers lost last night's game in the first inning
7:12
Speaker 3: with just a horrific start. Offensively, defensively, and pitching. The
7:20
Speaker 3: Rangers are 66-67. They lasted less than 24 hours in
7:23
Speaker 3: first place in the AL West. The Astros came from
7:32
Speaker 3: way back to beat the Yankees last night, so they
7:35
Speaker 3: are a half game up at 66-66. The Rangers are 66-67.
7:38
Speaker 3: I said yesterday I will hold to this. The first
7:43
Speaker 3: one to 81 wins the West. That would be a
7:45
Speaker 3: 500 record. Jacob deGrom was terrible yesterday. The defense was terrible.
8:04
Speaker 3: The base running was terrible. The team just showed up
8:10
Speaker 3: not ready to play, and we've seen that for about
8:12
Speaker 3: half the games this year, which is why they're kind
8:16
Speaker 3: of a 500 team. Peter Lambert pitching for the Astros
8:22
Speaker 3: tonight against Elmer Rodriguez of the Yankees. Astros are 2-2
8:30
Speaker 3: against the Yankees so far this year. Of course, they
8:35
Speaker 3: have won all four postseason series against the Yankees. The
8:39
Speaker 3: Astros have owned the Yankees in postseason. Aggie football team
8:46
Speaker 3: worked out this afternoon. I'm sorry, this morning. They will
8:52
Speaker 3: work out again tomorrow morning. Coach Elko will be made
8:57
Speaker 3: available after practice. And Marco Jones and Isaiah Horton will
9:04
Speaker 3: also be available. Next week is game week as A
9:11
Speaker 3: & M prepares to host Missouri State. Meanwhile, the American
9:17
Speaker 3: Heart Association has announced the players who will be considered
9:26
Speaker 3: Bear Bryant Players of Impact campaign, which will provide platforms
9:35
Speaker 3: for athletes for health improvement and awareness, and among those,
9:42
Speaker 3: Terry Bussey of Texas A & M. With its 2026
9:49
Speaker 3: season now abruptly over and its future uncertain, Live Golf
9:57
Speaker 3: told its employees today it is, quote, scaling back operations
10:02
Speaker 3: and firing a significant number of positions. Not sure how
10:10
Speaker 3: many will be impacted, but expecting the majority of its workforce.
10:18
Speaker 3: In July, employees were notified this was a possibility, given
10:22
Speaker 3: that the funding from Saudi Arabia was pulled. And I
10:32
Speaker 3: don't know that this organization is going to be able
10:37
Speaker 3: to continue. And a lot of you probably don't care,
10:42
Speaker 3: or you're probably saying, yeah, good for TCU. TCU has
10:51
Speaker 3: pulled credentials from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the hometown paper,
10:58
Speaker 3: because they reported a locker room assault that resulted in
11:04
Speaker 3: a case filing with campus police. Steven Johnson, who covers
11:11
Speaker 3: the team for the newspaper, has been told that that
11:15
Speaker 3: the decision stemmed from the victim receiving threats after the reporting.
11:20
Speaker 3: But Johnson never identified the victim until the victim himself
11:27
Speaker 3: made a public statement on Instagram three days after the assault.
11:34
Speaker 3: Excuse me, three days after the reporting of the assault.
11:40
Speaker 3: Johnson's trip to Ireland against North Carolina is still on,
11:45
Speaker 3: despite TCU pulling his credential for the game. The SARD
11:51
Speaker 3: telegram is the only full-time outlet covering TCU athletics. They
11:58
Speaker 3: can't win this fight. We have seen this repeatedly when
12:05
Speaker 3: schools don't like the reporting. They love the reporting when
12:13
Speaker 3: they're writing glowing reviews, player profiles, giving them free publicity.
12:22
Speaker 3: They love that. But by God, if you criticize the
12:29
Speaker 3: home team, they are going to sometime take drastic action
12:37
Speaker 3: because their feelings have been hurt. This won't stand. We've
12:43
Speaker 3: seen this many times in the past. Sonny Dykes may
12:53
Speaker 3: have made this call because he didn't like the story
12:55
Speaker 3: coming out. I don't know that for a fact, but
13:00
Speaker 3: I'm guessing that's true. Because he can be prickly.
13:08
Speaker 11: Um.
13:10
Speaker 3: But they're not going to win on this situation. It's
13:13
Speaker 3: not going to happen. And I have said this, we
13:19
Speaker 3: have discussed this with the writers and media people over
13:24
Speaker 3: the years, that this adversarial relationship has gone on since
13:35
Speaker 3: there were newspapers. It is a love-hate relationship. Like I said,
13:42
Speaker 3: they love you when you're, quote, positive. They hate you
13:46
Speaker 3: when you're, quote, negative. I have put up with this
13:53
Speaker 3: every year of my career. And it's not going to change.
13:58
Speaker 3: It's not ever going to change. And I don't know
14:02
Speaker 3: why certain people and probably most universities and sporting organizations
14:12
Speaker 3: think the media simply exists to serve them and their needs.
14:22
Speaker 3: And it doesn't. There are very few watchdog reporters left.
14:32
Speaker 3: Very few. There are some. But mostly the organizations are
14:40
Speaker 3: an arm when we're talking about the universities. And they
14:46
Speaker 3: are little more than PR organizations for the university. And
14:53
Speaker 3: they sell their soul to, quote, get the scoops. God
14:59
Speaker 3: help them if they have to criticize the home team.
15:04
Speaker 3: That won't stand in Fort Worth. I'm not sure what's
15:07
Speaker 3: going to happen exactly. I would think that the majority
15:15
Speaker 3: of media outlets there would sympathize with the Star-Telegram's plight
15:25
Speaker 3: right now and simply say, okay, we won't talk about you.
15:31
Speaker 3: Good luck. Good luck. We won't cover your games. We
15:36
Speaker 3: won't do interviews. We won't tell people you're playing a game.
15:40
Speaker 3: We won't write about the game. And Godspeed to you.
15:46
Speaker 3: All right. We'll take a break. We'll come back. This
15:49
Speaker 3: portion of the program is brought to you by Chad
15:52
Speaker 3: Jones Law.
15:54
Speaker 4: I'm Chad Jones. We know sports injuries hurt. And so
15:57
Speaker 4: do injuries from car wrecks. But you didn't sign up
15:59
Speaker 4: to be in a car wreck with someone who wasn't
16:01
Speaker 4: paying attention. It was their fault. And now you're left
16:04
Speaker 4: to deal with the consequences. You need to see a
16:06
Speaker 4: doctor and you're missing work. Chad Jones Law can help.
16:08
Speaker 4: We've been helping our neighbors for more than two decades.
16:11
Speaker 4: Stop getting frustrated with the other side's foot dragging. Remember,
16:15
Speaker 4: don't get mad.
16:15
Speaker 12: Get Chad.
16:16
Speaker 4: Call Chad Jones Law at 979-595-5000 or go online to ChadJonesLaw.com.
16:24
Speaker 5: You love your Aggie football?
16:26
Speaker 3: We do too.
16:26
Speaker 6: Listen to every game on the Zone 1150 AM and 93.7 FM.
16:30
Speaker 6: When I look.
16:41
Speaker 7: Out over a green field of clover Oh, what's the
16:46
Speaker 7: sunset at the end of the day? I get kind
16:54
Speaker 7: of moody when I see such beauty, and everything's beautiful
17:01
Speaker 7: in its own way.
17:02
Speaker 13: When I see a fountain flow from a mountain, or
17:11
Speaker 13: see April showers bring flowers to May, I can't help
17:20
Speaker 13: but ponder Life is such a wonder And everything's beautiful
17:27
Speaker 13: In its own way Words can't describe What I feel
17:36
Speaker 13: inside When.
17:38
Speaker 14: I see the beauty In each coming day.
17:46
Speaker 15: What my eyes behold Can't be bought or sold.
17:51
Speaker 7: Everything's beautiful in its own way. When I see the
18:05
Speaker 7: clouds form a black summer windstorm That uproots the harvest
18:11
Speaker 7: and hurls away In the midst of such anger, destruction
18:21
Speaker 7: and danger The storm's even beautiful in its own way.
18:30
Speaker 15: When I see the leaves drop from off of the
18:34
Speaker 15: treetops or see the snow fall on a cold winter's day,
18:44
Speaker 15: my thoughts seem to wander into the blue yonder. God
18:49
Speaker 15: made all things beautiful in their own way. Words can't
18:58
Speaker 15: describe what.
19:00
Speaker 12: I feel inside when I see the beauty in each
19:05
Speaker 12: coming day.
19:10
Speaker 15: What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold.
19:15
Speaker 13: Everything's beautiful in its own way.
19:23
Speaker 12: In its own way. In its own way.
19:35
Speaker 3: Dolly did a lot of duets in her career. Willie
19:38
Speaker 3: did a lot of duets in his career. That was
19:43
Speaker 3: one of the good ones. Dolly wrote that song, Everything
19:46
Speaker 3: is Beautiful in Its Own Way. We've got a couple
19:48
Speaker 3: of more. Uh, we're going to play you, uh, here
19:52
Speaker 3: on all Willie Wednesday. Um, Dolly tells all kinds of
19:59
Speaker 3: stories about Willie, who was already in Nashville when she
20:02
Speaker 3: showed up there, uh, at age 17. Um, and, um,
20:10
Speaker 3: They collaborated. They were kindred spirits, I think, because of
20:17
Speaker 3: their songwriting ability. I've seen memes today in the social
20:22
Speaker 3: media about, please put bubble wrap around Willie. You know,
20:32
Speaker 3: but we'll play some more coming up. All right. We're
20:36
Speaker 3: going to hear from Jordan Shaw, transferred defensive back. And again,
20:44
Speaker 3: one of the strengths that going into the season, people
20:53
Speaker 3: think about this A & M team is going to
20:56
Speaker 3: be the secondary, the depth and the athleticism, both. Here's
21:02
Speaker 3: Jordan Shaw.
21:04
Speaker 11: Jordan, just, you know, can you take us through this offseason,
21:07
Speaker 11: what you feel like your points of emphasis were to
21:09
Speaker 11: get better and just kind of where you feel like
21:11
Speaker 11: you've grown in your game?
21:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely. This offseason, I was just trying to really
21:17
Speaker 5: learn to playbook in and out, get bigger, just be
21:20
Speaker 5: more vocal on the field so I could be a
21:22
Speaker 5: leader and push my teammates. And that's pretty much it,
21:25
Speaker 5: just perfect my craft. So, yeah.
21:29
Speaker 16: I mean, I've.
21:39
Speaker 5: Just always been confident in myself. Like, my pops always
21:42
Speaker 5: told me, like, be ready when your opportunity comes. So
21:45
Speaker 5: I felt like that was my opportunity to show what
21:46
Speaker 5: I could do, and I just made the most of it. Yeah, definitely.
21:59
Speaker 5: I'm definitely confident in this secondary. I feel like we
22:01
Speaker 5: got a lot of pieces. Ricky, for sure, he had
22:04
Speaker 5: an amazing camp. He had a pick, I think, every day.
22:07
Speaker 5: Chance Collins, he's a young guy. He had a pick
22:09
Speaker 5: every day. Julian Humphrey, he's been having a good camp.
22:12
Speaker 5: Just everybody. I feel like everybody in the secondary has
22:14
Speaker 5: been doing good, so... Yep.
22:17
Speaker 3: Have you always played nickel?
22:18
Speaker 17: I think you played a little outside.
22:21
Speaker 5: Early in college, right?
22:23
Speaker 3: Yeah.
22:23
Speaker 5: I played corner a little bit at UW, but mainly
22:27
Speaker 5: nickel everywhere I've been. Even in high school, I played
22:30
Speaker 5: safety a little bit, but when I went to the
22:31
Speaker 5: All-American camp, that's when they put me at nickel, and
22:34
Speaker 5: that's when I've just been playing it since.
22:36
Speaker 3: Yep.
22:40
Speaker 5: I feel like it allows me to be versatile. I
22:42
Speaker 5: could play man. I could drop zone. I could blitz.
22:45
Speaker 5: I could play half. So it just let me be versatile.
22:48
Speaker 11: What's it been like working alongside Bryce Anderson as a
22:52
Speaker 11: guy who has a lot of experience?
22:55
Speaker 5: No, yeah, definitely. Bryce, he's a good player. I feel
22:59
Speaker 5: like everybody in our room are good players. We all
23:01
Speaker 5: push each other, and we learn off of each other's mistakes,
23:03
Speaker 5: and we just hold each other accountable. So having somebody
23:06
Speaker 5: like him in our room is definitely beneficial for me.
23:09
Speaker 11: What brought you to A & M and just kind
23:11
Speaker 11: of your journey here to Aggieland?
23:15
Speaker 5: I got to say it's the coaches. Coach BJ, he's
23:17
Speaker 5: the one that recruited me. I just felt like the
23:19
Speaker 5: coaches were genuine here. When I came on visit, Elko,
23:23
Speaker 5: he wasn't like all the other coaches. I could tell
23:25
Speaker 5: it was deeper than football. He cared about me as
23:27
Speaker 5: a person. And I felt like it was a good
23:29
Speaker 5: fit for me. Like SCC, that's like the best conference
23:31
Speaker 5: you can play in. So I wanted to showcase my
23:33
Speaker 5: talents on like the biggest stage you can.
23:36
Speaker 17: We were talking about just maybe the deepest, best secondary
23:39
Speaker 17: he's coached since he's been at Texas A & M.
23:40
Speaker 3: What does that mean for you to hear that and
23:42
Speaker 3: your potential to.
23:42
Speaker 5: Be a big piece of that? I mean, it means
23:45
Speaker 5: a lot. Him saying that, I know I'm going to
23:48
Speaker 5: play a big role in that defense, so it just
23:50
Speaker 5: makes me go harder. I just got to stay on
23:52
Speaker 5: top of everything and just be the best player I
23:54
Speaker 5: can be.
23:55
Speaker 11: How much has it been challenging to go against guys
23:58
Speaker 11: like Mario Fravor or Terry Bussey?
24:01
Speaker 5: Yeah. It's definitely a challenge. I feel like it's beneficial
24:05
Speaker 5: for me, though, because I honestly feel like those are
24:08
Speaker 5: the best receivers I'm going to go against all season.
24:10
Speaker 5: So practicing against them every day is just getting me better.
24:13
Speaker 5: So where I go against somebody in the game, it's
24:15
Speaker 5: like nothing I ain't seen.
24:16
Speaker 11: How do you feel like last year went for you
24:20
Speaker 11: as a guy who was maybe splitting some reps with
24:22
Speaker 11: Tyreek and just how you felt.
24:24
Speaker 17: Like that all played out for you?
24:26
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like last year, I mean, it
24:29
Speaker 5: was good. I got a chance to learn behind somebody
24:31
Speaker 5: that was older than me and learn from his mistakes.
24:35
Speaker 5: And then when my chance would come, I was able
24:38
Speaker 5: to do it.
24:38
Speaker 3: So this year, what does it mean personally for you?
24:43
Speaker 17: What are some of the aspirations, the goals, and the mindset?
24:46
Speaker 5: My main goal is just to put my name out there.
24:48
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm a slept-on player. Nobody really knows
24:50
Speaker 5: me like that. So I'm just trying to make the
24:53
Speaker 5: most of my opportunities and just put my name out there.
24:55
Speaker 10: Jordan, how has fatherhood changed the way you go.
24:58
Speaker 17: About your business?
24:59
Speaker 5: I mean, shoot, it's honestly the biggest blessing. Like, it'd
25:02
Speaker 5: be hard for me to leave in the morning. Like,
25:04
Speaker 5: he'd be sleeping on me. I'd be having to move
25:06
Speaker 5: him and stuff. But, honestly, it's just my motivation. It
25:08
Speaker 5: keeps me going every day, and it's really just a
25:11
Speaker 5: blessing for me. How old is your son, and what's
25:14
Speaker 5: his name? He's five months. His name is Elias. He
25:16
Speaker 5: turns six months on the 12th. So, yep.
25:21
Speaker 9: Elias, yeah.
25:25
Speaker 17: You mentioned not being talked about enough. What do you
25:27
Speaker 17: think fans will know about you after the season?
25:30
Speaker 14: What do you think they'll be known for the most?
25:33
Speaker 5: I mean, shoot, I'm trying to get picks. I'm trying
25:36
Speaker 5: to make plays. So I just want fans to think
25:38
Speaker 5: of me as a playmaker, somebody that gets the ball back.
25:41
Speaker 18: Is there any game you're looking forward to this season?
25:45
Speaker 5: I'm just taking it one week at a time. I'm
25:47
Speaker 5: looking forward to every game because it's an opportunity for
25:49
Speaker 5: me to make plays.
25:51
Speaker 11: What do you see for Bravion this offseason, just kind
25:53
Speaker 11: of maybe how you guys push each other at that position?
25:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, Bravion, he's one of my closest teammates on the team,
26:00
Speaker 5: closest friends on the team, so I've seen him grow.
26:03
Speaker 5: He's looked like a whole different player this year compared
26:05
Speaker 5: to last year. He's faster, stronger, and he pushes me,
26:08
Speaker 5: I push him, so we're together in this.
26:10
Speaker 6: Talking about the battles with the wide receivers.
26:12
Speaker 1: What does Marcel look like this camp and just how
26:14
Speaker 1: much of a challenge has he been going against them?
26:17
Speaker 5: Marcel, he's looking amazing. His accuracy better. He's out there
26:20
Speaker 5: moving faster, making the right reads. It looked like he
26:23
Speaker 5: got a little bigger, so shoot, it's going to be
26:25
Speaker 5: a good year for him.
26:27
Speaker 11: And Bill told us that you had a lot of
26:28
Speaker 11: battles with KC in practice last year, just having to
26:31
Speaker 11: guard him. What was the hardest thing about guarding him
26:35
Speaker 11: and just maybe how you.
26:35
Speaker 5: Got better by doing that? Shoot, KC... He's got one speed.
26:41
Speaker 5: That's fast. So, you know, I feel like he'll never
26:43
Speaker 5: get tired. So we'll do tempo. He'll take me deep.
26:46
Speaker 5: I'm right there. And he'll come right back to us.
26:48
Speaker 5: So everything he do is just full speed. So I
26:51
Speaker 5: feel like that was his most thing.
26:54
Speaker 6: Why were you so successful covering Tony when so many
26:59
Speaker 6: other guys throughout the nation couldn't?
27:03
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like Coach BJ, he did a
27:05
Speaker 5: good job of game-planning him. We had a lot of
27:08
Speaker 5: cut-ups on him, and we just really just watched everything
27:11
Speaker 5: he do and tried to, like, practice after practice. So
27:16
Speaker 5: I feel like Coach BJ helped me prepare for that good.
27:19
Speaker 11: Despite the loss, what is an individual performance like that,
27:23
Speaker 11: being able to hold a guy like that, check like
27:26
Speaker 11: you did, do for your maybe morale going into the offseason?
27:30
Speaker 5: I mean, it– It gave me confidence because, like, it
27:33
Speaker 5: showed me I'm able to do it. But at the
27:35
Speaker 5: end of the day, I wanted to win. So I
27:37
Speaker 5: wasn't even worried about my individual success. I was more
27:40
Speaker 5: worried about the loss. So it was kind of just
27:42
Speaker 5: hurtful to lose, honestly.
27:44
Speaker 19: What do you feel like is the biggest strength of
27:46
Speaker 19: the secondary?
27:48
Speaker 5: Shoot, we got depth. And I feel like everybody could go, like,
27:52
Speaker 5: from the older guys to the younger guys. Like, if
27:56
Speaker 5: you throw anybody in there, I feel like they're going
27:57
Speaker 5: to make plays and they're ready. So we got a
27:59
Speaker 5: lot of depth.
28:00
Speaker 7: So, yep.
28:04
Speaker 3: That is Jordan Shaw and he got everyone's attention in
28:10
Speaker 3: the Miami playoff game when he was shadowing Malachi Tony
28:17
Speaker 3: and the job that he did covering him throughout that game.
28:26
Speaker 3: Malachi Tony ended up making a play but it was
28:29
Speaker 3: running the ball on a reverse sweep not catching the
28:33
Speaker 3: ball but my feeling is if you can keep Malachi
28:40
Speaker 3: Toney under wraps for the majority of the game, you're
28:44
Speaker 3: probably pretty good. And I think he caught the attention
28:49
Speaker 3: of the entire coaching staff last December doing that. Coming up,
28:58
Speaker 3: Scott Clinton is going to join us. We have a
29:00
Speaker 3: special guest. entertainment guest this afternoon. And we've got Astros
29:10

Speaker 3: Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain. Welcome back. Glad to
33:16
Speaker 3: have you with us. Scott Clendenin is with us on
33:20
Speaker 3: the program. Why don't we get the baseball stuff out
33:23
Speaker 3: of the way, can we?
33:24
Speaker 4: Sure.
33:25
Speaker 3: Let's get the baseball stuff out of the way. I
33:30
Speaker 3: still say first one to 81 wins the West.
33:33
Speaker 6: I don't know if it'll be 81.
33:35
Speaker 3: May not.
33:36
Speaker 6: I think I told you three weeks ago.
33:38
Speaker 3: You said that Houston and Texas were going to tie.
33:42
Speaker 6: Were going to tie.
33:43
Speaker 3: Yeah.
33:43
Speaker 19: And that the Astros with the tiebreaker could go. But
33:49
Speaker 19: at that point in time, I did not think that
33:52
Speaker 19: the Astros would get above 81. No, I did not
33:54
Speaker 19: think they would get above 81.
33:55
Speaker 5: And....
33:57
Speaker 3: You didn't know that they would do it without a
33:59
Speaker 3: general manager and a manager that's on his way out?
34:05
Speaker 6: Unless they win.
34:07
Speaker 3: Well, what would winning mean? I mean, when you say win,
34:12
Speaker 3: how deep would they have to go for Espada to
34:15
Speaker 3: keep his job?
34:16
Speaker 6: ALCS.
34:18
Speaker 3: So winning a wild card, winning a division.
34:22
Speaker 7: Yeah.
34:25
Speaker 3: And getting into the A's. You think he would keep
34:28
Speaker 3: his job?
34:30
Speaker 19: But as we have talked about, not just with the Astros,
34:33
Speaker 19: but with the Rangers as well, these two teams have
34:38
Speaker 19: stunk against the A's and the Angels, and that is
34:42
Speaker 19: what has put them in the position they're in. The
34:44
Speaker 19: Astros' record against teams above. 500 is like 10 games
34:49
Speaker 19: better than their record of teams below.
34:51
Speaker 6: 500.
34:54
Speaker 3: I think the Rangers are pretty similar.
34:56
Speaker 6: Yes.
34:58
Speaker 19: So if either of them had handled their business against
35:02
Speaker 19: the A's and the Angels, then they would be fine. But,
35:09
Speaker 19: you know, Houston struggled with Detroit and Minnesota and Kansas
35:14
Speaker 19: City and.
35:16
Speaker 6: Toronto. So, I mean.
35:21
Speaker 19: They played well against Tampa. They played well against the Yankees.
35:24
Speaker 19: They played well against the White Sox. They played well
35:28
Speaker 19: against the Rangers.
35:31
Speaker 6: So why would I think that if they got in
35:35
Speaker 6: the playoffs that they couldn't compete?
35:37
Speaker 3: This is what I was looking for. Since April the 14th,
35:43
Speaker 3: after a 1-9 road trip to start the season. Okay.
35:48
Speaker 3: The Astros are 32-22 on the road.
35:50
Speaker 18: Yeah.
35:51
Speaker 3: Now, that means they're 33-31. 33-35 at home. And 33-35
35:56
Speaker 3: at home.
35:56
Speaker 6: Yes.
35:56
Speaker 3: The Rangers, unfortunately, are, I think, eight games over... At home?
36:15
Speaker 6: Seven.
36:16
Speaker 3: They're seven games over at home?
36:18
Speaker 6: And eight under.
36:19
Speaker 3: And eight under on the road. Right. They're 30 and
36:21
Speaker 3: 38 on the road.
36:22
Speaker 5: Yes.
36:23
Speaker 3: They have, I did see this yesterday, I believe, maybe
36:29
Speaker 3: the fifth toughest schedule in September. The Astros schedule turns around.
36:39
Speaker 3: getting into september right the the rangers i just what
36:43
Speaker 3: i'm saying yeah i know you can't you can't use
36:46
Speaker 3: that normally you'd say oh man that i tell you
36:50
Speaker 3: as the easiest schedule statistically and that's seattle yes it's
36:55
Speaker 3: september right they're two and a half out and cal
36:59
Speaker 3: raleigh's had four home runs in the last two games
37:02
Speaker 3: i don't know if that's going to mean anything He
37:05
Speaker 3: is so far down. But.
37:07
Speaker 6: You mean when they were stealing signs? I'm telling you if...
37:12
Speaker 6: He hadn't hit one today.
37:14
Speaker 3: Did they lose today?
37:15
Speaker 6: Well, they're getting shut out 6-0. Good. Good?
37:19
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm worried about everybody. I'm worried about Oakland.
37:25
Speaker 6: I'm worried about L.A.
37:27
Speaker 5: L.A.
37:27
Speaker 6: And Oakland are out.
37:28
Speaker 3: So.
37:33
Speaker 3: They still need him to beat Cal Raleigh, and I
37:35
Speaker 3: just don't think that's going to happen. We were all
37:39
Speaker 3: excited about Corey Seager. He was carrying the team there
37:44
Speaker 3: for a little while, which everybody said, well, he has
37:46
Speaker 3: to do if they're going to go to the playoffs.
37:50
Speaker 3: And then last night, he just looked completely lost, just
37:53
Speaker 3: absolutely like he had looked right after he came back,
37:58
Speaker 3: right before he was hurt, like he's looked most of
38:00
Speaker 3: the season, hitting below. 200. He upped his average to
38:03
Speaker 3: about 229 or something like that, I think.
38:08
Speaker 6: Yeah. Peaked.
38:09
Speaker 3: Peaked at 229. Yeah. Did you realize there are only
38:15
Speaker 3: five players in the American League hitting 300 or better?
38:18
Speaker 18: Yes.
38:19
Speaker 3: And in fairness, in the National League, I think there's nine.
38:23
Speaker 5: Yes.
38:24
Speaker 6: They need to lower them out.
38:25
Speaker 3: No one's hitting.
38:26
Speaker 6: They need to lower them out.
38:27
Speaker 3: You think?
38:28
Speaker 18: Yes.
38:29
Speaker 3: No one's hitting.
38:30
Speaker 6: MLB's done this before.
38:32
Speaker 17: They have.
38:32
Speaker 6: Lower them out.
38:33
Speaker 3: They have done things before to try to get more
38:36
Speaker 3: offense into the game. And you think that's the solution
38:40
Speaker 3: right now?
38:40
Speaker 19: It created more offense in 1970 than they had in 1969, Chip.
38:46
Speaker 5: Right.
38:47
Speaker 6: I know that's worked.
38:48
Speaker 3: Yeah. They've enlarged the bases. They've tried to, you know,
38:56
Speaker 3: they've limited how many times a pitcher can hold a
38:58
Speaker 3: runner on.
38:59
Speaker 6: Can't steal first base, Chip.
39:00
Speaker 3: You cannot steal first base. True.
39:03
Speaker 6: It's the oldest.
39:04
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you got to hit.
39:06
Speaker 7: Yes.
39:08
Speaker 3: And there's not a lot of hitting.
39:11
Speaker 6: But some pitchers have not been able to use the ABS.
39:16
Speaker 6: They have not been able to adjust to it.
39:19
Speaker 3: That's absolutely true. And I still don't understand what within
39:28
Speaker 3: each team. what kind of rules there are. Managers will
39:33
Speaker 3: tell you, oh, we're leaving that to the players.
39:34
Speaker 5: Right.
39:35
Speaker 3: But but yet I watch all these games and I'm going, OK,
39:39
Speaker 3: so last night's perfect example. I'm watching last night's ninth inning.
39:43
Speaker 3: The Rangers have two outs, and they ended up putting
39:47
Speaker 3: a tying run. They loaded the bases. They're down four runs,
39:50
Speaker 3: but they loaded the bases in the ninth inning. Okay?
39:55
Speaker 6: Have DeGrom hit.
39:57
Speaker 3: With one out, I forget who's up. And this umpire
40:04
Speaker 3: has been terrible all night. They have.
40:07
Speaker 6: Successfully overturned.
40:08
Speaker 3: Successfully overturned probably six or eight pitches between the two teams.
40:13
Speaker 6: So you just think he's bad if you're a player.
40:17
Speaker 5: Yeah.
40:17
Speaker 3: I mean, he wasn't real consistent. Let's put it that way.
40:20
Speaker 3: But the players have made good choices, basically, right?
40:24
Speaker 6: Both teams.
40:25
Speaker 3: Both teams.
40:26
Speaker 5: Yes.
40:27
Speaker 3: And then in the ninth inning, and maybe there was, yeah,
40:30
Speaker 3: I think the bases were loaded. The count is either...
40:37
Speaker 3: It could have been 0-1. It was a pitcher's count.
40:40
Speaker 3: And he throws one up and out of the strike zone.
40:44
Speaker 3: And there's two outs in the ninth. And I'm going, gosh,
40:47
Speaker 3: if you're going to use an ABS, now would seem
40:50
Speaker 3: to be a good time to do it, right? Yes.
40:52
Speaker 3: You're behind. You're down to your last batter.
40:55
Speaker 6: And in extra innings, you're going to get it back anyway.
40:57
Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know that. Yes. They get a challenge?
41:00
Speaker 6: They get a challenge back. Does this make you feel better?
41:03
Speaker 5: No.
41:04
Speaker 3: Yeah no it doesn't make me feel better why but
41:07
Speaker 3: you don't wait well you don't wait anyway when you're
41:10
Speaker 3: behind in the ninth inning you can't wait oh well
41:13
Speaker 3: if i he didn't challenge you know he didn't challenge
41:16
Speaker 3: the pitch well he he weakly you know bounced out
41:18
Speaker 3: the game's over but i'm going man if you don't
41:21
Speaker 3: challenge a pitch in this situation and i and a
41:25
Speaker 3: lot of it they've they've left to the to the
41:28
Speaker 3: catcher to challenge those pitches. You know, the pitchers don't
41:31
Speaker 3: challenge many pitchers.
41:33
Speaker 6: I think they see with their heart a lot more
41:34
Speaker 6: than they.
41:35
Speaker 3: Do with their eyes. And there's no doubt about that.
41:37
Speaker 3: I think that's a good thing. Yes. But the batters,
41:40
Speaker 3: you know, when you're batting.
41:41
Speaker 6: DeGrom couldn't have challenged some pitches last night?
41:43
Speaker 3: No, he went close enough to challenge pitches.
41:46
Speaker 6: He couldn't have said, hey, you called that a strike? No, no,
41:49
Speaker 6: I'm saying he delivers, it's called a strike, and he says, hey,
41:52
Speaker 6: I challenge because I think.
41:54
Speaker 3: I'm throwing another ball. I will say this, if it
41:56
Speaker 3: was a slider, it wasn't no strike last night. But
42:00
Speaker 3: I will say, as terrible as he was, probably the
42:04
Speaker 3: worst of his career, the average bat speed when he
42:10
Speaker 3: was down 6-0 was, was 72 miles per hour. There
42:15
Speaker 3: were some chinks and chunks last night that you're going,
42:19
Speaker 3: that is, now, he didn't say anything. He didn't say
42:24
Speaker 3: anything about it. He goes, I was just terrible. And
42:27
Speaker 3: he was, because he could not find his out pitch.
42:31
Speaker 3: He could not throw a slider anywhere near to get
42:35
Speaker 3: them to chase or anywhere near the plate. But still, man,
42:39
Speaker 3: oh man, there were a lot of just Just like taps.
42:43
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
42:44
Speaker 14: Yes.
42:44
Speaker 3: It's like everything fell in at one time. All right,
42:49
Speaker 3: that's enough baseball for now. You sure?
42:51
Speaker 6: We didn't even get to talk about my Astros coming
42:54
Speaker 6: from behind to beat the Yankees. You've got to love that.
42:57
Speaker 3: No, I hated that.
42:58
Speaker 1: Why?
42:59
Speaker 6: You hate the Yankees.
43:00
Speaker 3: Weren't they down 6-0?
43:01
Speaker 6: No, it wasn't 6-0.
43:04
Speaker 3: I knew they were down pretty good, right?
43:05
Speaker 17: Yeah.
43:07
Speaker 6: No, they had scored a couple runs. And how about.
43:10
Speaker 19: that, you know, it wasn't Alvarez and it wasn't Peña
43:13
Speaker 19: to get it going for the Astros last night.
43:16
Speaker 3: Who was it? Christian Walker.
43:18
Speaker 17: No.
43:18
Speaker 3: Your favorite player.
43:19
Speaker 6: No, it was not. It was Vasquez.
43:22
Speaker 3: Okay.
43:23
Speaker 6: Vasquez had two home runs and a double.
43:28
Speaker 3: Go figure. Well, it is the Yankees.
43:31
Speaker 6: Well, he did hit one home run to the shortest.
43:35
Speaker 6: To the short porch. The opposite field to right to
43:39
Speaker 6: the second shortest spot in the league. I think it
43:43
Speaker 6: would have gone out in Boston, and it would have gone.
43:46
Speaker 19: Out probably in Texas, in addition to the Yankees. Because
43:51
Speaker 19: people forget how short it is to the right field
43:54
Speaker 19: corner in Arlington.
43:56
Speaker 14: Meh.
43:57
Speaker 3: I don't know how short it is.
43:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, you should. It's somebody's number.
44:02
Speaker 3: It is?
44:02
Speaker 6: Like 312 feet.
44:03
Speaker 17: Oh, yeah, yeah.
44:04
Speaker 6: Who's number 12?
44:05
Speaker 3: I don't know.
44:06
Speaker 6: Or 11? I don't know. But, I mean, when you.
44:08
Speaker 19: Start giving people the distances on the fence for people's numbers,
44:14
Speaker 19: you know, well, it's a good thing that he wasn't
44:16
Speaker 19: number six.
44:17
Speaker 3: So where's the Crawford boxes? How far are they? I
44:20
Speaker 3: know they're raised, but how far?
44:21
Speaker 5: 325 feet. Really? Yeah.
44:26
Speaker 3: Seriously?
44:27
Speaker 6: 315? Okay.
44:30
Speaker 3: What are the dimensions, Stan?
44:33
Speaker 17: So the dimensions to left?
44:35
Speaker 3: Right field.
44:35
Speaker 17: Right field?
44:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.
44:37
Speaker 17: Right field line, 226, right field power alley. No, 326.
44:39
Speaker 17: 326 and right field power alley is 374.
44:40
Speaker 3: So 326 isn't that short to me. What is left?
44:41
Speaker 17: Where's the left field? Left field is 329.
44:43
Speaker 5: Yeah.
44:43
Speaker 17: So who was 29? One of them was the manager.
44:44
Speaker 3: Who had cancer. Johnny Oates.
44:57
Speaker 6: Johnny Oates.
44:58
Speaker 3: Whichever.
44:59
Speaker 6: He was 29 or 26.
45:00
Speaker 17: It goes off of Adrian Beltre's number.
45:02
Speaker 6: That's Adrian Beltre.
45:03
Speaker 17: The other one is Johnny Oates.
45:05
Speaker 3: Yeah.
45:06
Speaker 6: It's Johnny Oates.
45:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
45:07
Speaker 6: So it's a good thing that Johnny Oates didn't wear six.
45:10
Speaker 3: Look at Houston. Look at, what do they call it now? Dicon.
45:13
Speaker 3: Minute May.
45:14
Speaker 6: Minute May Park.
45:15
Speaker 3: Look at Dicon and get the left field, down the
45:22
Speaker 3: left field line in Dicon Park. I finally decided I'm
45:27
Speaker 3: calling it Daikon because it seems that the organization has,
45:32
Speaker 3: as an organization, decided that it's Daikon and not Daikon.
45:37
Speaker 6: Are you sure? Yeah.
45:39
Speaker 3: Down left field line.
45:40
Speaker 17: 315. Yep.
45:42
Speaker 3: 315.
45:43
Speaker 17: And the height of the left field wall is 19 feet.
45:46
Speaker 3: Okay.
45:48
Speaker 21: Um.
45:49
Speaker 19: So you have to hit it like 330 feet to
45:51
Speaker 19: actually go out. And once again, the Astros have had
45:55
Speaker 19: no home runs into the first row this year. Nine
46:01
Speaker 19: opponents have hit a home run into the first row.
46:03
Speaker 19: The Astros have hit zero. It's a Crawford box special
46:08
Speaker 19: is what they call it, where it only goes out
46:10
Speaker 19: in Houston, and it's opponents nine and Houston zero this year.
46:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the Astros' fault. For not taking advantage. Okay,
46:19
Speaker 3: we'll take a break. Speaking of the Astros, the Astros

46:58
Speaker 1: I'm Jett Nelson with your Houston Astros report. Houston scored
47:02
Speaker 1: early and often against the Yankees to take game one
47:04
Speaker 1: of the series. Details are coming up next.
47:08
Speaker 12: Drinking and driving, that's the DWI.
47:12
Speaker 3: THC and driving, DWI. But it's not just alcohol and THC.
47:17
Speaker 9: Pills.
47:18
Speaker 17: Benzos.
47:19
Speaker 5: Molly.
47:20
Speaker 3: Meth.
47:21
Speaker 9: Fentanyl.
47:22
Speaker 1: If it alters your mind, it impairs your driving.
47:26
Speaker 3: And that puts everyone on the road at risk.
47:29
Speaker 12: Any highs is a DWI.
47:31
Speaker 3: Drive sober.
47:32
Speaker 5: No regrets.
47:33
Speaker 3: Sponsored by TxDOT.
47:37
Speaker 1: The Houston Astros found themselves trailing in multiple spots last
47:41
Speaker 1: night against the New York Yankees, but found a way
47:43
Speaker 1: to win the final score 9-7. Jainer Diaz and Dalton
47:46
Speaker 1: Varshow each had an RBI swing in the second and
47:49
Speaker 1: third innings for an early two-run lead, but then a
47:51
Speaker 1: three-run homer for Cody Bellinger in the bottom third gave
47:54
Speaker 1: the lead to New York. And then both sides would
47:56
Speaker 1: exchange two-run homers to make the score 5-5 in the
47:59
Speaker 1: fifth and sixth. Then in the top eighth, Jordan Alvarez
48:02
Speaker 1: would put Houston in front for good.
48:04
Speaker 9: And Alvarez hits this in the right center, and it's
48:06
Speaker 9: down for a base hit, and that's going to bound
48:07
Speaker 9: all the way to the wall.
48:09
Speaker 6: Peña racing to third. He's going to score.
48:11
Speaker 3: Without a throw.
48:12
Speaker 11: Yordan loping over to third base with an RBI triple.
48:15
Speaker 3: The Astros lead it 7-6.
48:17
Speaker 1: Isaac Paredes and Yainar Diaz would each provide insurance runs
48:20
Speaker 1: to seal the win. Game two against the Yankees is
48:23
Speaker 1: set for 6-0-5 tonight. And with your Houston Astros report,
48:26
Speaker 1: I'm Jett Nelson.

51:10
Speaker 3: that first verse. So that's pretty cool. Scott Clendon is here.
51:18
Speaker 3: Let's start into this college football stuff. I don't know
51:24
Speaker 3: what's going to happen. Well, I do know what's going
51:26
Speaker 3: to happen. We've already got judges involved. I mean, yeah,
51:32
Speaker 3: we've already got judges and lawyers involved. We had one
51:34
Speaker 3: involved today here. it's going to be challenged at every turn.
51:40
Speaker 3: The hearing for the temporary restraining order for Bryce and
51:43
Speaker 3: Warren is a week from Friday on September 4th, so
51:47
Speaker 3: we'll know a little bit more about that. I don't
51:50
Speaker 3: understand all the legal issues.
51:52
Speaker 19: Are you going to risk half your budget and half
51:55
Speaker 19: a season of your coach?
51:57
Speaker 3: Well, the question is, do these... Attorneys and the people
52:06
Speaker 3: fighting for against all of this, and there's a few,
52:12
Speaker 3: do they think it's a big enough slam dunk that
52:16
Speaker 3: the answer is yes, I'm going forward because we don't
52:22
Speaker 3: think that the SEC and the Big Ten and what
52:26
Speaker 3: they have done and the ACC is about to follow,
52:30
Speaker 3: the Big 12 will follow, is enforceable.
52:34
Speaker 6: It was enforceable against Alabama last year.
52:37
Speaker 3: It was. Well, I believe, and I don't remember, maybe
52:41
Speaker 3: you do, I believe it's only because they appealed right
52:45
Speaker 3: to a higher court and got it overturned.
52:48
Speaker 19: But then Sankey came out and said, we were about
52:50
Speaker 19: to step in and stop this anyway.
52:53
Speaker 6: With basically... The same thing that they've said right now.
52:56
Speaker 6: You are a professional basketball player.
52:58
Speaker 3: I get it.
52:59
Speaker 6: And I said at the time, all Greg Sankey has
53:02
Speaker 6: to do is come out and say in the SEC,
53:05
Speaker 6: you're not going to the NCAA tournament because you're not
53:08
Speaker 6: going to be, we're not going to certify you in
53:11
Speaker 6: our league.
53:12
Speaker 3: I get that. I understand all of that. But you're
53:17
Speaker 3: going to have attorneys going, oh, yeah, we're going to
53:20
Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament. My player is going, we're taking this
53:25
Speaker 3: to court. And you don't know what the courts are
53:28
Speaker 3: going to do with stuff like this. I'm not a
53:31
Speaker 3: legal enough expert to understand all of it, but I
53:35
Speaker 3: guarantee this will be challenged as well, right? And I
53:40
Speaker 3: would love, and I'm not going to be here, but
53:42
Speaker 3: I would love to be in that court hearing questions
53:46
Speaker 3: Both sides of the arguments, because we could do that
53:49
Speaker 3: locally in here. Okay, what are they saying?
53:52
Speaker 6: This is not saying that he has to play at
53:54
Speaker 6: Texas A & M according to what I heard.
53:56
Speaker 3: You said earlier.
53:57
Speaker 6: That's true.
53:58
Speaker 3: He can play anywhere.
54:00
Speaker 6: Any conference that allows him to go play.
54:02
Speaker 3: Any conference.
54:03
Speaker 6: That he can go play.
54:05
Speaker 3: That's correct.
54:06
Speaker 6: The SEC is not saying that you can't go play.
54:09
Speaker 6: The Big Ten is not saying that you can't go play.
54:12
Speaker 6: It's just not here. You're just not playing here.
54:14
Speaker 3: Yeah. All I'm saying is that in itself is going
54:19
Speaker 3: to be challenged. There's no doubt in my mind.
54:21
Speaker 6: As a parent of a college athlete, there is a
54:26
Speaker 6: time when you can be in the portal and a
54:28
Speaker 6: time when you cannot.
54:30
Speaker 3: Yes.
54:32
Speaker 19: If Bryant University had some player from the SEC... that
54:38
Speaker 19: decided to come back from being a pro softball player
54:43
Speaker 19: and all of a sudden decided they wanted to go
54:45
Speaker 19: to Bryant University, why am I not suing to protect
54:50
Speaker 19: my daughter?
54:52
Speaker 6: That you've got to enforce the rules. I'm sure that's
54:54
Speaker 6: going to happen too. Because she can't go anywhere. She
54:58
Speaker 6: can't enter the portal. Her time has already been shut down.
55:02
Speaker 6: So all these players, and maybe they don't care, which
55:06
Speaker 6: is garbage, but you don't think the tight end room
55:10
Speaker 6: at LSU is sitting there going– I've been here this
55:14
Speaker 6: whole time trying to make this team better, and you're
55:17
Speaker 6: going to go get some guy who's already been cut
55:20
Speaker 6: out of the NFL to come in here? And I
55:22
Speaker 6: can't leave. I can't go anywhere. I have no ability
55:27
Speaker 6: to have recourse.
55:29
Speaker 3: That will be challenged at court as well.
55:33
Speaker 5: Okay?
55:33
Speaker 21: Okay.
55:33
Speaker 3: Everything is going to be challenged. Everything.
55:35
Speaker 6: No, it doesn't need to be challenged.
55:38
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it needs to be challenged. I'm saying
55:40
Speaker 3: it's going to be challenged.
55:42
Speaker 19: I'm saying that the SEC, if the big conferences, I
55:45
Speaker 19: think the Big 12 is not even going to say anything, Chip.
55:48
Speaker 19: I think the Big 12 is going to say bring
55:50
Speaker 19: them on. Because, like, going to the Florida State quarterback,
55:55
Speaker 19: going to Texas Tech.
55:56
Speaker 3: Yeah.
55:57
Speaker 6: OK, I think there will be a conference that says,
56:01
Speaker 6: come on.
56:01
Speaker 3: And you may be right.
56:03
Speaker 6: Come on.
56:03
Speaker 3: You may be right.
56:04
Speaker 6: We don't care that you've been a pro.
56:06
Speaker 3: The other thing is, I will say, we've got to
56:08
Speaker 3: take a break. I will say this. We're not talking
56:10
Speaker 3: about hundreds of players here.
56:12
Speaker 19: Chip, we're also not talking about players that want to
56:15
Speaker 19: go play in a league where I'm.
56:16
Speaker 6: Not going to get a bunch of NIL money.
56:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
56:20
Speaker 17: Right.
56:22
Speaker 19: So if they say, hey, I need to be in
56:24
Speaker 19: the SEC or the Big Ten, it's not because they
56:26
Speaker 19: want to be at LSU or they want to be
56:28
Speaker 19: at Ohio State. They want to have the money from
56:30
Speaker 19: being at LSU or Ohio State. They don't care anything
56:34
Speaker 19: about anything other than their NIL payment.
56:36
Speaker 3: I mean, that part is true. No doubt about that.
