00:00Man, there is just an absolute craziness going on with college football right now,
00:04and really college sports for that matter.
00:07Southeastern Conference and Big Ten are now debating whether or not to accept
00:10players that were in the NFL to come back into college football.
00:18I love the fact that they're challenging every single rule that the NCAA
00:23and their pathetic ways have been trying to install for the last 75 years.
00:31I love the fact that kids today are challenging all these idiotic rules.
00:36What's to say if a kid had eligibility left that he can't go to college?
00:41Why? Because the National Communist Association of America tells you so?
00:46That that's their way of making laws and saying bylaws that will never hold up in court?
00:53SEC and Big Ten has made it clear that they don't want these players to come back.
00:58You know why they're doing that?
01:00Because they're doing it for public appearance.
01:03This will get annihilated in a courtroom.
01:07You're not going to go to a judge and say to a judge,
01:10hey, Your Honor, I'll tell you what I'd like to do.
01:13I was there in the NFL.
01:15I was at a job, and you know what?
01:17The job fired me.
01:18I still had an opportunity to go back because I had another year of eligibility.
01:23To go play in college.
01:25These kids are now professional athletes now in college.
01:29That notion that you are amateur sports does not exist.
01:34And quite frankly, it hasn't existed for over 40 years.
01:38The only reason that you couldn't go back to college is because the NCAA and all of the conservative people
01:47that are in the media were saying this.
01:49Hey, we got to keep and protect the sanctity of amateur athletics.
01:54This is not amateur athletics.
01:57Not many coaches are making $15 million a year.
02:00There's a quarterback right now at the University of Miami.
02:04His name is Darian Mensah.
02:06And this kid's making $6.5 million.
02:10Do you know he makes more money as the starting quarterback for the University of Miami than Shador Sanders will
02:18make this year as a quarterback for the Cleveland Browns?
02:22I mean, he's going to make more money than potentially a starting quarterback in Arizona with Carson Beck.
02:29He's going to make as much money as Jacoby Brissett.
02:34Don't tell me about amateur sports.
02:37College sports is no longer amateur.
02:39It's professional sports.
02:41You got both sides now paying exorbitant amounts of money, and I don't belittle the kids.
02:49By the way, there's an old saying that goes like this.
02:52Hey, dude, don't hate the player.
02:55Hate the game.
02:56Trump came up with something years and years ago.
02:59Hey, you don't like the tax code?
03:02Change it.
03:03You don't like the way things are going?
03:05Change it.
03:07There's no way the SEC and the Big Ten are going to win these cases in court.
03:12There's already an injunction with a player that's going to LSU, and they're allowing him because guess who sparked this?
03:20That was Lane Kiffin.
03:22Lane Kiffin, again, you can say whatever you want about him, but LSU was the first school, and now you
03:29have Texas Tech saying,
03:30yeah, we'll look at kids that were potentially going to be NFL players and bringing them back to the Red
03:35Raiders program.
03:36I don't have a problem with that.
03:38Why should you?
03:39I love it.
03:40I love the fact that these kids today are getting the opportunity to do those things and to get a
03:47chance to make as much money as they possibly can.
03:49For decades, conferences, television networks, and coaches have made millions and millions of dollars off of the cattle that they
04:00called student-athletes.
04:01I'm not going to use the word that I'd like to use, but I'll use the word cattle.
04:06These guys are like cattle, and it were cattle for years that coaches made money.
04:13Listen, I don't have a problem with a coach making $14, $13 million a year,
04:18but when you start saying that a kid, there's a problem with a kid making money off his name and
04:24likeness,
04:24what's your issue with this?
04:26Could you imagine what a guy like Tim Tebow would be making today or a guy like Deion Sanders
04:31or a guy like Michael Irvin or Brian Bosworth?
04:34These guys would be taking out mortgages with homes in eight different states.
04:40It's great that the NCAA is finally getting called out for what they have done for decades.
04:46That is holding student-athletes back.
04:49You know, college is supposed to be a place where, guess what?
04:52Like Mark Zuckerberg, he goes and creates Meta, Facebook, or Bill Gates.
04:58You know, these guys go and they create great brands.
05:03It used to mean that.
05:04Well, guess what?
05:05That's what kids are doing now in college.
05:07They're creating brands.
05:09They're creating business.
05:10They're creating wealth.
05:12And I love it.
05:14And I love the fact that you're seeing college football scrambling right now.
05:17And they're trying to put the genie back in the jar.
05:21They're never going to be able to do this.
05:23And in light of that, you have gambling involved now in sports.
05:28Gambling and paying student-athletes.
05:31You got to love it.
