00:00Coach, you know, I was asked the question as Miami was going for their national championship this last year.
00:07Is it harder to win a national championship today than it was then?
00:11And boy, I think it is.
00:13I mean, coach, you go through that playoff where you got to go through Ole Miss, Ohio State.
00:17Now, look, we were an independent back in the day when we won it in 87.
00:21But you're not going to see dynasties any longer because of this playoff, are you?
00:26Well, a couple of reasons.
00:28The playoff is one.
00:30Certainly the gauntlet that you have to run through to get to the finish line is very much a problem.
00:37The second thing is player retention.
00:40Players are coming and going like nobody's business because they're being lured by, you know, attractive contract offers.
00:48So it is very difficult to sustain a championship-level program.
00:53But the gauntlet that both Ohio State went through and this last year, Indiana, was incredibly impressive.
