00:00Get this. We now have litigation that's going to try and stop transferring and to control nil in college football.
00:13Look at this. A bipartisan act is being put in front of folks where people can sit there and try
00:22to stop this nil thing, all brought to the head here with Ted Cruz.
00:27Folks, it's called, what is it called? The score act. The score act is going to try to stop transfers
00:35and is going to try to contain a little bit of the nil stuff that's going on in college football.
00:41One of the reasons that I got into sports talk radio years and years ago, and one of the reasons
00:47I still do this is because I am so glad that nil and transfer have completely upset college sports.
00:56Look at all the old heads who hate this. Look at all the people who are trying to confine the
01:03players once again for making money.
01:06These kids should have been making money decades ago. These kids should have been having opportunities to transfer years ago.
01:15Here, let me pump the brakes on people here for a second.
01:18So when a college football coach like Brian Kelly can have the Notre Dame job and then all of a
01:24sudden he decides right there before he goes to his bowl game,
01:28he tells kids that he had been recruiting there at Notre Dame. Guess what, guys? I got a better opportunity.
01:34I'm going to LSU and I'm going to take the $100 million and a $54 million buyout because they're going
01:41to give me a better chance at winning a national championship.
01:44I don't ever remember coaches having to sit out when they left programs behind.
01:49So if a kid gets that opportunity now, too, I'm all for it.
01:52Now, look, I do think that inside of a year, you need to cut that back.
01:57I don't think a kid should be able to transfer more than once inside of a calendar year if you
02:02want to go down that lane.
02:03But wait till you get to the Supreme Court.
02:06You are never going to tell. I don't care what Trump thinks.
02:09If that guy thinks you're going to get out there and you're going to put some sort of executive order
02:14in place that you're going to tell a kid that he has to stay in a place, get that by
02:20the courts.
02:21That's not happening.
02:23This is free enterprise now.
02:25These kids are making money on their name.
02:28They're making money on their likeness and power to them.
02:32Way to go.
02:33Think about something here with Arch Manning.
02:34Before he leaves and goes into the National Football League, think about this.
02:40He's made at least $6 million a year.
02:44If that guy plays and stays all four years in Austin, before he even signs an NFL contract, he'll have
02:53north of $20 million.
02:55Before he even signs a contract with the National Football League, he already comes from generational wealth.
03:02This kid gets an opportunity to maybe control the narrative of where he goes.
03:07I love the fact that now kids can make money.
03:10And this is one of the reasons why you're seeing kids staying in college.
03:14By the way, if you're under the notion that kids were in college to get an education, I mean, again,
03:20folks, that's like believing that amateur sports was real.
03:24When you were looking at the amount of money that television networks, coaches, and athletic directors were making.
03:30Look at where college football is today.
03:33College football is the queen to the king, which is NFL football, when it comes to television ratings.
03:39You've got near 16 to 17 million people watching any one of these Big Ten or Southeastern Conference games.
03:46Of course, this is going to be a big priority for coaches and for people to try to curtail being
03:53paid when you're talking about paying student athletes.
03:56Look, I love the fact you're telling me I would never go into the National Football League if I was
04:02making $700,000 at the University of Miami.
04:06You've got a better chance at being an astronaut than making it in the National Football League.
04:13Why wouldn't you stay in college and make $700,000 at Ole Miss, LSU, or the University of Miami?
04:20This is why the kids all stayed in school this last year.
04:24These kids and the depth of the draft was not great from rounds two down.
04:29Why?
04:30Because kids wanted to stay.
04:32Kids were transferring.
04:34Look at the top 32 draft picks.
04:37There were only two kids that were from non-power four.
04:41The year previous, there was only one.
04:44And the year previous to that, there was only one.
04:47Think about this.
04:48In the last 64 draft picks, only four kids are from non-power four.
04:54Why?
04:55Transfer.
04:56Kids getting the ability to be able to go where they want to work and where they can make money
05:02with their likeness and image.
05:03Guys, College Sports, you can't put the toothpaste back into the container here.
05:09This bad puppy's out.
05:11I get the fact that you want to sit there and you want to try to put some guardrails on
05:16it.
05:16I'm all for the guardrails.
05:18But this, hey, this thing's past its time now.
05:22It's out.
05:22I'm all for the guardrails.
05:22I'm all for the guardrails.
05:22I'm all for the guardrails.
