00:00as high school coaches just around the country severely

00:02underpaid with all the things that they have to deal with and

00:05certainly the money is coming in for college. Is there a chance

00:08that some sports betting revenue tax Pat goes over to some of

00:12these hardworking high school coaches? Yeah, so there's a

00:14bill in North Carolina that was introduced that would send up

00:17to eleven million dollars to kind of fund a three thousand

00:21dollar per coach stipend if they reach some qualifications

00:25and things like that. And I think that is kind of a unique

00:27idea of what to use sports betting revenue for you. I mean

00:30of course we've seen all sorts of things in the past kind of

00:34brought up a lot of it is education. A lot of it is youth

00:37sports suggestions and and the coaching is not out of the realm

00:41of interesting possibilities. It does raise some questions I'm

00:45sure for lawmakers or you know journalists or what have you of

00:50kind of okay what does this say about kind of the integrity and

00:53you see people concerned about sports betting money going to

00:56colleges or those partnerships with the colleges that were at

00:59the beginning of this whole thing kind of a big deal and

01:02then finally faded faded away because of all the public

01:05concerns. So I don't know if this will get much traction in

01:09North Carolina or spread elsewhere. I think you'll see

01:12plenty of kind of discussion around it though of hey is this

01:16a good idea or not. So we'll have to keep it keep an ear on

01:20that and I'll report back.
