00:00The proposed five years of eligibility would formalize the total number of years for athletes,
00:06but it wouldn't fix the older players constantly searching for new NIL contracts
00:13and probably being a little bit older of a dominated game.
00:19I'm going to lift it because you'd still be capped, I guess, at five years,
00:25and they're still going to be searching for those new NIL contracts.
00:29It's just going to be harder because now you're kind of just limited as far as time-wise.
00:32So I would lift it, but even though they're going to be searching for ways to get paid more,
00:38it's going to be a lot harder to find those kind of avenues.
00:41It will be harder.
00:42I'm going to leave this because here's the one thing.
00:45If you can only transfer once, if you put that in concert with this,
00:50you're not going to probably be able to search after.
00:53Most guys, I bet, will leave after their sophomore year.
00:55And so you're going to probably be locked in for a year or two years or maybe three,
01:00depending if you played as a freshman and you get that fifth year, however that works.
01:05If you just get five to play five, a lot of guys will probably transfer after their second season.
01:10Now, if you're smart, you'd probably wait until you're third.
01:12But once you get to that point and you're playing and you like it there,
01:14well, then that's one thing.
01:16But you're not going to see every single year people bouncing around.
01:20And so I don't know how many people, there might be some guys who are patient enough
01:25to wait at smaller schools and wait until they finish their fourth year
01:30to transfer for one final fifth season.
01:33But if you have to sit out, I just don't see people having the discipline where it's like,
01:39hey, I'm making 50 grand at this smaller school.
01:44Someone's going to give me 250 after I started for a year.
01:47Well, yes, I could wait and start again and maybe play even better and then maybe double that.
01:54But I could also get hurt.
01:56Like there's just a lot of different things that could come into play.
01:59And so I'm going to leave that because I don't, I think if they marry that five-year window
02:05with the one-year transfer portal, I think that that impacts it in a very big way.
02:10Because if you can't transfer twice, that first transfer is the only one.
02:15And you better make sure it is the right choice.
02:19All right, lift it or leave it.
02:21If the SEC is going to return to its peak, mid-2010s era, Lane Kiffin and LSU will be the
02:30ones that lead the charge.
02:32Not Kalen DeBoer with Alabama and not Kirby Smart with Georgia.
02:38Lift it or leave it.
02:38Leave that, Micah.
02:40Are we saying that Lane Kiffin is going to be the second coming of friggin' Nick Saban?
02:46Absolutely not.
02:47If this was going to happen in the SEC, which I don't think it is.
02:51I think the Big Ten is going to continue this dominance for a while.
02:53I would think that Kirby Smart would be the guy to do and have kind of a resurgence over at
02:58Georgia.
02:58So Lane Kiffin, fantastic coach.
03:01Just kind of what we were talking about with Bill.
03:03Just the culture you develop with the team.
03:05I think that's still going to be a heavy part of success, and I just don't know if Lane Kiffin
03:10really has that culture.
03:11He has all the talent in the world as far as a head coach, but I don't see him and
03:15LSU being the resurgence of the SEC.
03:17That's a big leave it for me.
03:20Yeah.
03:20You know, they're going to be paying a lot of guys.
03:22They're going to be bringing a lot of guys in.
03:24I'm going to leave this to Kirby Smart has two national championships.
03:28Georgia has been relevant.
03:29Maybe they haven't been, like, top two or three, top of the heap, and they're maybe adjusting a little bit
03:36in this NIL world.
03:38And, you know, if your quarterback leaves and your next guy is, he is good.
03:42You've had some injuries.
03:43I get all that.
03:44I still think Georgia's in a good spot.
03:46I don't necessarily think it's going to be Kalen DeBoer, Alabama.
03:49The more I've seen go on down there and the more guys transfer out, maybe he changes my opinion this
03:54year.
03:54There's a very real possibility that he comes in and is able to flip that opinion in this year.
04:02But this spring for Kalen DeBoer is probably the most important spring that he's ever had in his coaching career.
04:11Lane Kiffin, I think, will have success at Alabama.
04:15But, or not Alabama.
04:16Lane Kiffin, I think, will have success at LSU.
04:20To the degree of that success, like, LSU brought him in to win a national championship.
04:26They had three straight coaches win national championships.
04:28They hired Brian Kelly, and he didn't win one.
04:31They're used to winning with everybody.
04:33They always have immense talent.
04:35They're sinking a lot of resources into that roster and into the coaching staff.
04:41But you have to deal with Mike Elko at A&M.
04:44You have to deal with Sark at Texas.
04:48Both of those programs, a lot of resources, a lot of in-state talent, and I think both of them
04:53are pretty good coaches.
04:54And people want to, you know, yell at me about Sark and everything over at Texas.
05:00Listen, they've been really good.
05:02Have they won it?
05:03No.
05:04But they've been on the cusp and been on the doorstep of being able to get that done.
05:08So they're in the conversation.
05:11And so those are Georgia, Texas, A&M.
05:16Those are three schools that I think are going to have something to say about it as much as LSU,
05:22if not more.
05:23Probably not Alabama and DeBoer, but I like where this is going.
05:28And I don't think I'm going to leave this because I don't think it's Lane that leads that resurgence.
05:34I don't know if that resurgence really comes.
05:37I don't think it's going to be a very fast voucher.
