00:00Pierre, here's Coach Cal. He's always got something good to say. Watch this.

00:03I mean, there's, look, there are a lot of older gentlemen with beards playing basketball in college right now.

00:11There are. So you, you know, the one that's crazy is the kid, the guy comes in and you're, and he's waving to his kids up in the seats.

00:21And you're like, wait a minute, the guy got two kids. He's still playing college basketball. Crazy thing.

00:26He's using NIL for his first wife's alimony. And now he's still playing college basketball. Are we nuts?

00:35So now you have these kind of games and these kind of scores. That team is really old.

00:41We, my guess is, again, we're probably the youngest team in the SEC. We'll be one of the three youngest teams in the SEC.

00:50Those teams are old. Last year, every team was old in our league. They were old.

00:54And so now you're going to have those kind of things. And you're also going to have a team like a Fresno beat somebody

01:03because they got all grad students, seniors, and their average age is 25. And your average age is 19 or 20.

01:13Hey, college, the changing landscape, Joe.

01:16Listen, you wanted to pay guys. You've now created, it's no longer college. It's, it's minor leagues and congrats.

01:26Cause that's what you're going to have dudes who are 25, 26 years old, collecting NIL checks against 18 year olds.

01:33That's not a fair fight, Donnie.

01:35By the way, also coach Cal cornered the market. I'm going to get the one and done's the NBA guys.

01:39And now it turns out that's not the guys you want. It's the 27 year olds here that have played six years overseas,

01:44which you could start to dominate. So coach Cal, switch up that MO.

01:48Stop going after the diaper dandies, baby, and get those aging veterans out of here.
