00:01we're we're moving this topic up no Rico I don't care Riley shouldn't be hitting fourth
00:07he should be hitting second or third and we're moving to something better because you are
00:12rested and crested the man has his founders gear on and we've got a major story out of the world
00:18of college football and out of the big 10 which is the home of the five-star zone so I'm
00:23stepping
00:24back on this you guys know how I feel about this garbage sport and I think if you take it
00:30seriously you're a moron but Rico still loves it maybe that means he's a moron I don't know but
00:37I'm gonna turn my mic off and let him deliver the news in his founders cues it well I felt
00:43it was
00:43only necessary Mike because it's our anniversary of joining the founders club as you call it so
00:49today's founders day no it's not founders day but the members that I came in with we all crossed
00:55today so so yeah we talked this morning so I said you know what I'm gonna wear the cues
01:01there's a founders conference call this morning yeah it's a group text everything
01:08man you feel free to join if you want it's pretty cool all right go ahead okay that's the good
01:13news
01:13bad news Mike it's bleep season you know what
01:19as you get older and as they teach you as you say in the founders it's okay to admit if
01:25you're
01:25wrong it's okay to admit defeat it's okay to say I thought this way maybe I should have been thinking
01:33that way when it comes to college football Mike I have fought you and fought you for years because
01:40you're like oh I can't watch it it's killing me this game is nothing it's it's meaningless I'm like
01:45Mike just give it a chance okay just because something is new doesn't mean it's bad just
01:51because something new you may find out that you know what new could be better new is not better
01:58new is far from better
02:02Petiti last night when I read this they're meeting right outside in greater Los Angeles
02:07at some Big Ten meetings and Petiti who's a TV executive has come out and said
02:14I want college football the playoff to be expanded to 24 teams not leaving it at 12 hey Tony what
02:22if
02:22we went to 16 no that's not good enough I need it at 24 why not because we need better
02:30competition
02:31in the game not because we need to see more teams and more teams from the Big Ten
02:36Mike the rationale was well we need at least 200 plus million dollars in order to recuperate the
02:46money from dropping our college championship games so with the 24 games 24 teams there will be no more
02:54college college college conference championship games so Big Ten championship in Indy that's gone
03:00no more SEC in Atlanta all of that stuff is gone bye-bye if they do this but it had
03:06to because you're
03:07basically starting a brand new season I admit I admit defeat Mike you win no no no no no because
03:14you've been saying this for years and I have fought you on this I have fought you just be quiet
03:21and take
03:22the victory lap okay take the victory lap who really wants 24 teams is this thing better for the fans
03:33I'll say no that would be better for the fans this isn't good for the fans because you can't even
03:42give us
03:42good games in the 12 team there's a couple and then there's a lot of dog games in there as
03:50well
03:50now we're going to extend this out to 24 teams is this better for the players no because they're
03:57going to be playing an NFL type of schedule with the wear and tear in their bodies this is only
04:02better
04:02for the TV companies and the conferences because they're going to both get paid for this it's not
04:08good for you for me for the players this is only for the TV execs this is only good for
04:13the conferences
04:14we're going to make a ton of money off of this thing there's going to be no conference championship
04:19games and you brought up a great point in pre-show meeting if that's the case then why are you
04:24even
04:24in a conference if there's no championship game why are you even playing in a conference just go
04:30independent like Notre Dame set your own schedule and I say that because at least I was fooled this is
04:38why I said I'm wrong I'll admit I made a mistake I thought we get better scheduling the way college
04:45basketball sets up games in November where you get good team versus good team at a neutral court
04:50you know I eat that stuff up you make fun of me but it's cool to see okay here's Kansas
04:56taking on
04:57St. John's I'm the moon okay great no what you're going to get is a watered down schedule you're going
05:04to get nobody playing nobody it's going to be a fight to see who can schedule Eastern Michigan on
05:11their schedule Eastern is going to get paid directional schools are going to get paid but
05:15you're not going to see any enticing games anymore that Ohio State Texas thing that they had the home
05:21and home that's going to go bye-bye you're never going to see something like that again because you
05:25don't want to risk a loss you want to get to as many victories because you get to nine wins
05:30nine and
05:31three get guarantees that you get in so you just pay to win three games yeah and try like hell
05:37to
05:38just make sure you get to six conference wins that's it and then you're gonna battle it out so
05:44look here's the other stuff congratulations no it's not congratulations no I find it deeply sad
05:49I find it sad that you are starting to be ruined I've obviously I'm sad that it's been ruined for
05:55me over
05:55the last few years but there are two other things I want to bring up and there's a couple
06:00thousand words you could read on ESPN about this let me distill it to two numbers do you know what
06:06the number 48 means no and no it's not a 48 team playoff no why not for 126 48 is
06:1948 days
06:22from the selection show to crowning a national champion this upcoming year 48 days that's almost
06:29two months they have a calendar problem they have a calendar problem with the amount of time this takes
06:36and it's only going to be more in 2028 but also Rick hold on let me help you with that
06:41for the people
06:42in the back that's over half a season correct that's all seven weeks so that's a problem and then the
06:50other one if you deep dive into okay 2014 playoff and what it would have done the last few years
06:57to rivalries specifically games played in the last two three weeks of the season ESPN found it only
07:05would have improved one rivalry would have been Arizona Arizona State every other rivalry would have
07:13been wrecked including for instance do you remember this memorable Georgia Tech Georgia game from a couple
07:18of years ago yeah doesn't matter both are in Michigan Ohio State doesn't matter both are in that you are
07:25to I said this before I will say it again college football's biggest advantage over any other sport
07:32it was the most impactful condensed high drama regular season in all of sports what you've done now is
07:41you've taken human excrement like Tony Petiti a TV executive scumbag you allow him to run the big 10
07:49hey I wonder why Petiti wants 24 it's because ESPN wants 16 Petiti came from Fox who owns the big
07:5910
07:59Fox so what's he shilling for Fox more games more money more money worse quality and you will have done
08:08to college football what they did to college basketball you will have taken a regular season
08:14and made it meaningless everyone gets in no no but at least in college hoops Mike's they still have the
08:21big 10 tournament you're not going to have a big 10 conference championship game it's just going to be
08:27so why would I want to be in the conference I'll go play in an easier conference and I'll ask
08:32for the
08:32guys back here David Michigan fan Kenny Georgia fan David I know this is going to sound sacrilegious
08:41why would you even want to play Ohio State well see I'm Kenny why would you want to play Alabama
08:46anymore I'm glad you just said that because I just said this to Kenny I said why would anybody play
08:52in
08:52that game you're in the playoff you don't need to play your guys in that game for injury reasons so
08:58you're right why do we play it David your game especially becomes meaningless unless they move
09:04it to the beginning of the season because at that point there's something there's something on the
09:08line the last game of the year I know that's how Bowen Woody did it I'm opting out if you
09:16if you have
09:17a player if you're if Bryce Underwood has an ankle injury Bryce you're not playing in this game how about
09:23this one just to prove your point here's what it would have looked like if we had a 2014 playoff
09:28last year in real life Michigan needed a miracle upset of OSU to get in 2014 playoff comfortably
09:34and wouldn't have mattered Bama had to beat Auburn to keep its place in the field blew a 17 point
09:40lead
09:40before rallying to win late Oklahoma needed to beat LSU to hold on to a berth and trailed with five
09:46minutes left before late score 24 teamer those both games are meaningless they're both in Texas and
09:52Vandy needed to beat A&M and Tennessee respectively and hope for chaos above them to get in the field
09:5724 teamer both in regardless Georgia Tech facing Georgia would have had playoff stakes but the
10:05committee boosted the yellow jackets in the ranking after a loss to the dogs turns out they were in
10:10regardless only two rivalry games were enhanced by a 24 teamer Arizona would have replaced Arizona
10:17State in the field in the territorial cup and Virginia who was the worst team to ever win a
10:23conference Virginia uh what they got the CFP berth with a win over VT Tennessee got beaten so badly by
10:31Vandy the Vols would have fallen out and you would have had SMU falling out with an upset loss to
10:38Cal
10:38that's it every other rivalry game no people here's the deal and I'm being sincere when I say this I'm
10:47not
10:48I'm not begging I'm asking but is this where we're at with college football you're a Michigan fan you're a
10:55state fan you're a Buckeye fan you are a college football fan are you done because the phone line
11:02suggests you're done yeah the text line suggests you're done I've been done so this is about Rico
11:10and you guys all wearing your founders cue zips together I would say college football has now been
11:17reduced to tailgating with your friends that's probably the only good thing that's left I'll
11:23throw the number out but there's no world where I get full lines on a on a god-awful baseball
11:29team
11:30like the Tigers but we can't get any traction on where the future of college football is headed
11:37that doesn't add up to me unless you're sitting in shame because you know I was right all along
11:44now that's a terrible feeling so I'd rather go with you're sitting in sadness because you're like
11:49Rico again you're watching an angel fall I gave my concession speech Northville lumber let me let
11:55we'll try this again momentarily
11:57we'll try this again momentarily
