00:00Sorry to call it a response, but we're ready to defend if called upon.
00:05Allow me to say, however, that that is the beauty and gift of democracy.
00:10Everybody has their own views and their own perspective.
00:13And we understand and respect where she's coming from.
00:16If you use it as a, I think the term is a convention.
00:20However, let me state for the record that all of us in this room,
00:25the welfare and interest of each and every student athlete is of paramount importance.
00:31There is no question about that.
00:32So we all agree on that.
00:34And that's the most important thing.
00:35We may have different views on how to get there.
00:37But again, allow me to state that the welfare of each and every student athlete is of paramount importance.
00:44Motivation may be a part of the considerations.
00:48Like I said, and interestingly, that is where we are coming from.
00:53We have to consider, and as much as we protect, we guarantee the protection, the rights of each and every student athlete,
01:01we have to balance that with 200 interests.
01:05And I'm talking about the member school per se and the UAAT as a whole activity.
01:09So there are three parties concerned here that we need to balance their interests.
01:14Because at the end of the day, a better member school will lead to a better UAAT,
01:20which leads to a better environment for the student athletes.
01:25Any transfer after the conclusion of academic year 2024?
01:31So just wait, I guess.
01:33After that, we need to conclude.
01:35So any transfers made prior to that?
01:42I'm not privy with regard to whatever structure each of the member schools...
01:47I'm speaking on behalf of the collective act of the UAAT.
01:50Maybe on the arrangements of each of the member schools,
01:53and each of their teams, talking about chess and baseball,
01:56to make inter-teams, et cetera.
01:58What's important to us is the rule of environment.
02:00So if you transfer from a member school to another member school of the UAAT,
02:04then you will be affected by the new measure.
