00:00it's interesting that you know nick saban and a bunch of former players are kind of
00:04it's not of his just of college football in general and jeff schwartz is a guy i worked with
00:09who big 10 legends since he played it you know uh jeff schwartz but he goes it's it's funny we
00:15are interesting how coaches like you have a coach up there who's making 10 million dollars plus and
00:21made over 120 million dollars at alabama over his tenure there it's talking about capping what
00:27players should make and i guess we get into this argument this decision here bill like
00:31i mean you can make the argument that some of the coaches at the big time programs are underpaid
00:36relative to what they bring in to university and the advertisement and being a big time college
00:43football program people have shown that it enhances uh enrollment numbers it enhances the academic
00:50uh qualifications because you have so many more applicants and all these things
00:54and trying to square this i don't i see i see points on all sides i don't know
01:01where i agree because i agree like it's free market if you want to do that the coaches get it
01:06but why
01:07don't the players but i understand it's more of a collegiate model and so to try to limit both even
01:12though the coaches value the university is probably even greater than what they're getting paid and
01:16it just seems like this is this has kind of gone down a road to the point where it's it
01:20it doesn't resemble what it was but i don't i don't really necessarily know a fix that makes
01:26everybody truly happy because like one of the i like this bill but like there was one of the
01:32components in the bill uh bill bender is the fact that i guess they were going to have to submit
01:39even their revenue share numbers to get those approved by like the college sports uh committee or
01:46whatever it is for this like there's so many elements of this that i don't know if you can
01:51feasibly get it done well and you take a place like ohio state for example i know you and i
01:56were both
01:57well i wasn't there but i had to drive to the megan maroney concert on friday night to pick up
02:03the my wife
02:04and uh daughter and friends and i saw how much traffic but when you go through the campus you what
02:10dawns
02:11on you a little bit is oh yeah there's the woody oh yeah there's the the volleyball center which is
02:15an
02:16incredible venue by the way the lacrosse stadium's nice the bill davis and the track and the baseball
02:21you're paying for all that and i think ohio state that's not even before you get to the shoe
02:25um the the facilities are amazing and and you want to have college athletes play in those places the
02:32volleyball uh it's more coney right it sticks out the most to me you go to a game there it's
02:38awesome
02:39so you want uh young women to have those opportunities to play in those venues but you have to acknowledge
02:45where i'm squaring it is you want to have football help pay for all of that so they have those
02:51opportunities but at the same time you know you mentioned what is a football player worth like
02:57what what is the number that we really think jeremiah smith is worth to ohio state it's probably
03:02pretty steep and incredible given what he does with his talent you know what the attention he brings
03:07to the university he's not on the ea cover i saw we maybe should be and um those things the
03:14ohio state
03:15football machine is very real and something you said before i you could make a strong argument that
03:20the ohio state football coach is the most important employee economically in a lot of ways in the state
03:26of ohio given what they given what that machine brings in
03:29it.
