00:00When we talk about NIL, it's like, hey, how are you going to fund your football team?
00:03How are you going to fund your men's college basketball team?
00:05Because it's big stakes and even bigger stakes now where you either win or you get fired.
00:09And I don't care about my compensation, which I want $8 million a year,
00:13but my players also need $3 to $4 million a piece.
00:16Take a look at this from front office sports.
00:19Incoming USTA CEO Craig Tiley says college tennis is at an NIL crisis.
00:25Tiley says players are losing opportunities in the NIL era
00:28following the NCAA's rule changes and landmark house settlement,
00:31which has shuttered several collegiate tennis programs since then.
00:36What a mess, Joe.
00:37The NIL ruining everything, apparently, no?
00:40Yeah, I mean, it's such a poor sport, too, tennis.
00:45I mean, almost nobody when money plays that sport at all, Donnie.
00:50It's kind of crazy here.
00:52Shocking, in fact, that if you don't play basketball or football,
00:56I guess you don't really add to the collective worth of the university, do you?
01:01And, Joe, I'm telling you now, just wait a few more years.
01:04Maybe it takes 10.
01:05You will have football and you will have men's basketball
01:09and a handful of women's basketball teams,
01:11and everybody else will be cut because, like,
01:13we just can't afford those programs.
01:15We have to play our football players who make us the money.
01:17Nobody else makes us the money.
01:19We can barely hang on here, and Title IX is going to go away
01:21because of what the NIL represents.
01:23Give it time.
01:24About 10 years, that's going to happen here, Joe.
