00:00Sometimes we have to just have like common sense actually work through things where it's like,
00:04okay, well, your eligibility is up. Oh, I got to move on to the pros or, you know,
00:09I graduate college with my degree and I go get a job or wherever I work and that's fine.
00:13Now it turned into, well, the NCAA we don't think is that toothless here. I have no eligibility
00:18left. Let's just sue and say I should be able to play another year of college football,
00:22even though my eligibility is out. That sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Not in today's landscape.
00:26And also understand how we got to this concept here, where it was always where once you got to
00:32college post high school, you had four years, you had five years to complete four because they did
00:36built in a red shirt for you. If you went two years to JUCO, that's two years here. Well, then
00:40you got
00:40two years to play it. Let's just say division two with division one football. Or if you took a red
00:45shirt here, we understood the game and the numbers that were involved at this point. But then it turns
00:49into, you know what, let's try to game the system. I'm out of eligibility, but I'm going to make up
00:54a
00:54story from like my freshman and sophomore year at division two, where I had trouble breathing. And
01:00that's why I got an extra medical red shirt, even though there's no documentation on it. Let's just
01:04see if it flies in court. And when that doesn't work, you just change up and go to another outlet,
01:09another court system and try a different path. And here we are today. Chambliss will be coming back
01:13to Ole Miss because a Mississippi judge said he should be able to play and grants an injunction here
01:19only for the NCAA. Like that's cool. We'll appeal it again. Joe, nothing makes any sense. And just
01:25imagine when we were laughing just a few days ago with Bidiaco, why don't you just keep changing
01:29courts until he plays his next year? And then by the time you don't have an answer, he's already done
01:33his seventh, eighth or ninth year in college. And it's such an easy fix, Donnie, too, right? I mean,
01:40you just put together a collective agreement that you listen, you get five years, do whatever you want
01:46to do in those five years of eligibility. And, you know, knock on wood, if something drastic
01:52happens, you have to, you get five years. That's it. Anything beyond five years is absolutely absurd.
01:58And that's exactly what we've got here, Donnie. We've got a situation where a kid is going to be
02:0224 years old. This, the only reason this is even a thing now is because of the million,
02:09multi-millions of dollars in the NIL collective that he's going to get here to come back. Otherwise,
02:14he would have done what generations prior to him did, Donnie. You know what it is?
02:18Go to the NFL draft and begin your career. And it's that simple. But too much money at stake now.
02:24And I don't blame the kids for going to do it. I really don't.
