00:00But when we talk about Michigan sold their soul for a national championship, we didn't think just a few years later that they literally did sell their soul for a national championship.
00:10Michigan, one of the biggest scandals we've ever seen, cheated off the field and on the field by stealing signs and covering it up.
00:16And nobody cared because they won.
00:18And I was always on this network, Joe, saying, you know what?
00:20I applaud that because you never, ever get the full scope of the cheating ramifications.
00:25Hardball, you can't come back to college for 10 years.
00:27Bro, I'm a pro coach.
00:29Uh, Jerome Moore, you're a part of that staff.
00:31How about maybe one, two or three game suspension, keep your full pay and you're back in it.
00:35Michigan fans will take that every year.
00:36If you're going to get some sort of coaching suspension for every couple of years, having a legitimate chance to win a national championship.
00:42But now we see them as coachless.
00:44Why?
00:45Because Jerome Moore didn't actually get fired for the cheating scandal.
00:48He got fired for his own cheating scandal.
00:51And if you weren't paying attention yesterday, once again, Jerome Moore was actually arrested.
00:55Not because he cheated on his wife and his kids here.
00:57But for the fact that he's breaking and entering in now, losing his mind as he goes, losing his job, losing his family, and losing his freedom in a matter of what?
01:0710 hours?
01:08It, Donnie, it was, this is just a truly unbelievable story that nobody, I mean, no, we never had any hint of there being an issue here at all.
01:21And as far as Michigan fans felt 24 hours ago, Donnie, they were getting ready.
01:26They were going to beat Texas in a ball game.
01:29Everything was looking up.
01:31Underwood coming back next year.
01:32Everything is great in Michigan, except, well, Biff Poggy is now going to be your interim head coach.
01:39And now we have no idea what leadership and who is going to be involved in trying to find the next coach, who that might be, who's available.
01:48And just like that, Donnie, I can't wait to see how many guys take their name off of that recruiting sheet and be like, yeah, I might be decommitting from Michigan at this point.
02:00Unbelievable.
02:01Human beings making mistakes they shouldn't make happens every single day.
02:05Can you imagine having a job that pays you millions of dollars per year?
02:08And if you get fired and it's not with cause, you get all of that money to go home and relax.
02:13Like you say, Brian Kelly, oh, that's thinks he got fired.
02:16He got like 50 million bucks in his pocket.
02:18Jerome Moore got fired, lost his job, won't get any compensation, blew up his family life, and now finds himself in jail in a matter of a few hours at this point.
02:27It's crazy times.
02:28I know he can't believe it, but it actually is happening in real time right now.
02:32I'll tell you what else is happening in real time right now.
02:34The ACC making smart moves, push Notre Dame into the college football playoff here because they are your conference member and not Notre Dame.
02:41But also making the point, we can't be leaving good football teams out.
02:45We must expand, which Joe always brings up the point.
02:48They might have the perfect scenario at 12, but you can't have a chance where two G5s actually get in.
02:53Because if we didn't have any G5s in, we'd probably have the perfect playing field right now, and nobody would be really upset of who got in.
03:00But if we're going to continue to have musical chairs where G5s can make it, you got to increase it to at least 16 teams, Joe.
03:06You just do.
03:06Yeah, no, and I am all for it.
03:10No, you don't.
03:11And listen, Diego Pavia, I absolutely loved what this kid said.
03:16He should win the Heisman just based on his comment saying that if a G5 program wins the national championship, he's going to donate all his NIL money to that school and to that team.
03:29He is saying the quiet part out loud.
03:32Stop with the every – this is the biggest participation trophy I've ever seen, and it doesn't belong in college football.
03:43If you are a G5 team and you are rated top 15 in the country, you are that good, by all means, you're in.
03:50But come on here.
03:51I mean, this is – they have zero chance of winning this.
03:55Our friends at Kalshi, Donnie, even though they have close to a zero chance of winning a national championship.
04:01Correct me if I'm wrong, Joe.
04:02This might have been a decade ago.
04:04But when we talk about these scenarios, which could never happen, you could do whatever you want with money purposes and say whatever you want.
04:08Was it Warren Buffett that's like, hey, perfect bracket, we'll give you a billion dollars if you can do it.
04:13No, that it's never going to be a perfect bracket.
04:16So you could have put $50 billion out there.
04:18Like, ooh, that seems like a lot of fun.
04:20Absolutely not at this point.
04:21So it's funny, like, hey, G5 wins, I'll give you all my money.
04:24No, and you can sleep comfortably at night because that is never going to happen.
04:28And watch it probably happen this year, and JW makes a run to the title.
04:32Nonsense.
04:32It's not going to happen.
04:33By the way, Edward Geron, we interviewed him here a couple years ago at the Super Bowl.
04:37Real fun guy, real personable, and he tells it like it is.
04:40How about this story yesterday on paying SEC players?
04:44His quote, back then we used to walk through the back door with cash.
04:47Now we just got to walk through the front door with the cash.
04:50So hilarious and so true in the SEC.
04:54He's not lying.
04:56It's funny because it's true, Donnie.
04:58And again, another guy saying the quiet part out loud.
05:02It's refreshing, honest, you know, to get this kind of honest where we're not just saying the right thing because we don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
05:10Like, poor Jim.
05:11Oh, stop it, please.
05:13Exactly.
05:14Donnie, I know guys that would have to go and take a valet job.
05:20Yes.
05:20Not because they were parking cars, but because they get into one car, the envelope would be in the glove compartment.
05:26They'd take it and never park the damn car.
05:29So he's exactly saying what everybody already knew, but always ran from the truth.
05:35Priceless, coach.
05:36Love it.
05:37Exactly.
05:38Like, don't you remember the old school?
05:39Like, we used to have one day a year in February where the kids got to commit to school.
05:43And, hey, Patrick Peterson, man, he's going to look so good in that Miami uniform.
05:46Wait, wait.
05:47He's at LSU.
05:48What happened here?
05:49Book bags get dropped off.
05:51Cars get parked necessarily here.
05:53Feelings change at that point.
05:55Those are the old days in the SEC.
05:56Now, you're right.
05:57Just come to the front door with millions of dollars for people to come to your institution here.
