00:00Coach, are we in danger right now of being in a process where the team that spends the most money
00:06will be the 12 teams that are going to be in the tournament?
00:10I mean, are we rolling towards that and what we're seeing now with teams that spend the most money?
00:16Ohio State spends a boatload of money.
00:18You know, a lot of programs like Georgia and Alabama spend a lot of money.
00:23Are we starting to get into that dangerous area?
00:26Yeah, we're absolutely baseball, not football.
00:30And anyone that says that it's, you know, we're Major League Baseball and we've got to find a way to
00:35compete at the highest level.
00:37But you've got to find money to do it because there's just no other way to get the best players
00:42to stay or compete or come if you can't be at least moderately comparable in your dollars.
00:50And you can't have a cap differential of $20 million between what one program is and another program is to
00:57be able to be in the top 12.
00:59Coach, do you like where college football is right now or do you think there needs to be a centerpiece
01:04like a commissioner?
01:05I know Nick Saban has made that comment before in the past, and I think the toothless NCAA is just
01:11that right now.
01:12Do we need to have somebody like a commissioner because now it's almost pro sports?
01:18Yeah, I think we, I love college football.
01:21I love the energy, the enthusiasm, the passion.
01:25I just wish it was regulated by one person or a body.
01:29Like the NFL as a commissioner, we're going to need a commissioner.
01:32And that commissioner, we're going to have to figure out how we can decide what X amount of teams are
01:38going to be in the Super League.
01:39And that Super League is going to have its own playoffs, and there should be a cap comparable.
01:43But we're close.
01:44We're close.
01:45I think we're getting closer and closer to coming up with a way to get this thing regulated and right.
01:50And I'm excited where it's going.
01:53Absolutely, me too.
01:54Coach, the transfer portal, in your opinion, are you a fan of it?
01:59Does it need to be restructured?
02:01Do you need to have a different schedule, different calendar?
02:0530 seconds, Coach.
02:07Are you a fan of the transfer portal?
02:10I'm not a fan of unlimited transfer portal.
02:14I'm a fan of an opportunity to move with some regulation, you know, maybe one, you know, one transfer.
02:20And then also if there's a coaching change, a second one.
02:23But I don't think it should just be every year because I just don't think it's good for the kid.
02:27I don't think it's good for education.
02:28It's hard to get a degree at four different colleges.
02:30You lose credits every time you move on.
02:32And I don't think we're thinking about the big picture.
