00:03stoney what did you want to bring up here well just briefly because heather in the news pointed
00:08out the uh north carolina state family that is donating upwards of you know six seven eight
00:14million dollars to the school of textiles and things like that and i was away this weekend
00:20and at a wedding i was talking to some uh person i'm a friend of mine kind of and he
00:26um his family
00:27his son went to penn state his wife went to penn state they give a lot of money to penn
00:32state
00:33so i said so how much nil do you give and he looked at me he says when i give
00:39money because he's been
00:40very successful yeah it goes to underprivileged families it goes to this charity it goes to this
00:46it goes to if i'm giving money to penn state it's for education for people who can't afford
00:51scholarships he's i'm not giving money for a third string fullback it's ridiculous and i'm a big fan
00:58so i just started thinking about the alums that give all this money to nil do they really get that
01:08much out of it that much joy giving their money to something is so i don't know frivolous is college
01:16athletics you're paying for the players i mean what do you really get that much joy or would you
01:23get more joy if you gave it to a i'm more deserving charity so to speak because they you know
01:30i joked
01:31but it's true i mean the only thing i give to my school my is for basketball but i give
01:37to other
01:37charities around town you know i wonder because i know some i know a couple of big michigan donors and
01:45i never asked them boy that's a lot of money that you give do you really get that much out
01:49of it
01:50does it make you feel that good that you're providing you know money for uh you know a point
01:56guard or a you know a wide receiver that might not even make the team
02:02is your ego that big that you how you think you're such a big man that you're giving money
02:07well if you're talking like morally speaking no you could do many better things correct but i think
02:12some of these guys it's it's well i get to hang out around the program i'm an insider i'm at
02:17the
02:17facility i got the sweet seats on game day i get to hang out at the cool tailgates i matter
02:22i'm
02:22important didn't you ever watch blue chips yeah i know it was illegal then but what was his name
02:28a happy yeah the donor i think it was it was based on the ucla guys that's it it's all
02:34the access and
02:35it's the ego trip and their heads are exploding and growing you know it's i know anybody spend
02:42anything on anything frivolous stony i mean yeah i know but what do you get from it do you get
02:49to
02:49because i don't status you get to feel cool can i personalize this yes why are you a member at
02:55a
02:55country club why don't you just go play through the city courses because i don't want to wait
03:01a lot a lot you want perk yeah you want people they're stony
03:08not really but you know the coach is indebted to you you provided the receiver you provided the
03:15linebacker he owes you if they win a national title you did it yeah that's that's the ego play
03:23you don't think the big michigan donors you know kind of got off on the fact that they
03:27on a national championship i'm sure they do i'm sure that's for the reasons we're giving them to
03:32you absolutely you don't have yaks without me right i mean that's that's the whole deal i get it i
03:39mean
03:40i don't know yeah i mean part of it is because i went to a school that would never have
03:45any kind of
03:46athletic success maybe you know if if i went to a school that was really good you know maybe i
03:53would
03:53feel better about the the paltry amount of money that i give yeah but i almost feel the opposite
03:58like you could be a kingmaker at american you know what i mean like you could make a bigger difference
04:02there yeah a little bit but a little goes a long way at those schools yeah be the godfather there
04:08too
04:09that's true that's a good point coach simpkins kiss my ring yeah i mean
04:15let you announce the game since you're a big donor that would be cool you start giving more aren't you
04:21no no because i know that's they can't go very far so what's the what's the what's the use i
04:30give
04:30it to them because it helps out you know and i got more out of that at college because i
04:35did do the
04:36games then i did you know donating if i donated to the library or i gotta say your example here
04:42and
04:42how small your school is are we ever gonna see a smaller school have a one-off where they try
04:48to
04:48collect like a fab five almost for i know i thought about that i said i mean could we do
04:55it like if i
04:56had you know four or five friends who were like zillionaires who went to american could we buy
05:02ourselves a patriot league title and maybe some more you know what i mean i mean how awesome would
05:07be jim you went to a small school i did central yeah you went to eastern like who's the biggest
05:13cmu
05:13alum now i mean chris cayman you don't know non-sports antonio brown non-sports terry foster
05:23dave llewellyn the estate of dick enberg okay uh terry o'quinn
05:32i think we got a better chance of mr beast picking us and trying to make youtube content out of
05:36it
05:36i bought a mac team i'm gonna see if i can win a national title you just brought it up
05:41i would
05:42love to see this i'm just thinking on the fly here mr beast has money to throw away he actually
05:47gives
05:48millions of away yeah could mr beast just pick a random school like everybody all these little
05:54schools campaign right for mr beast absolutely for one year to build a super team i'm gonna spend
05:59little wheel of fortune uh yeah i'm gonna spend 10 million dollars on this middle of nowhere midwest
06:07school somebody needs to do it before there is some sort of regulation because think about what
06:13we're talking about exactly you could actually do this in college athletics and then he'd put it out
06:17as a docu-series on his youtube channel he'd monetize it that's all this is the mr beast games he'd
06:23just do that for a college basketball you do college basketball right because that's where your money
06:27could be best spent right because it only makes a few players yeah you don't have to build a whole
06:31football team it's gonna get a couple bigs couple shooters and away we go yaxl's playing for for my
06:37team next year right now there's a lot of smaller schools that only play basketball that are you know
06:42big name school you know it's like seton hall or something like that depaul yeah yeah you can find
06:47schools to absolutely make a difference so greg do you know do you donate to your alma mater at all
06:53no it's rare okay if i do it may be like the chemical engineering department all right but
06:59you're not you're not giving up you're not joining the champions club or whatever that thing is called
07:04victor's club uh no yeah these players don't need your money i mean i don't blame him he didn't go
07:09to school to do this for a living as he ended up with us probably mad at the university i'm
07:15kidding
07:15greg okay i don't donate i mean i went to a commuter school but that was your choice to go
07:22to a
07:22commuter school you could have they have dorms there right yeah i don't know if eastern was
07:30really good he's you know if tj said hey gov come on we need a little something for the effort
07:35here
07:35for us us eastern guys we got this uh we got this point guard from from cast tech we need
07:42my help i
07:43see what he makes with the lions oh okay then well maybe we could all work together as this uh
07:48twitch
07:49comment says maybe if eastern western and central all combined like the megazord and power rangers
07:54we could make the playoff good point and you can all you know all the alums alternate every year
08:01all right this year western's gonna make it because they came the closest when they played i suddenly
08:06don't like this idea very much okay because it's gonna cost you some money no because western's gonna
08:11win oh okay okay a little pit stop we're gonna get into uh the tigers a little more in the
08:17nine
08:18o'clock hour a little more on the pistons we have a wtf moment from the weekend in sports make
