Thursday: Dreaming of The Keldon Johnson Convocation Center

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Seven million, two million apparently going to athletics. It doesn't
say how much of that will go to nil. But
in the press conference that Jeff did on Sunday, he
talked about the league and that if you TSA can
somehow get its player payroll for football in the three
and a half to four and a half billion dollar range,
he's confident he can keep the players he wants, get
the ones he doesn't have, and compete with the likes

(00:22):
of Tulane and Memphis and South Florida. And South Florida
leads the world at about ten million, nine million whatever
is published there. I think Memphis is in the six
to seven range and two lanes a little bit lower
than that. But that's what the world is about right now.
And as much as facilities are important too, and especially

(00:42):
covered practice facilities for football, it's about how much your
roster is getting because that's how you win games. And
I think this will be They'll probably have an idea
what their budget is come January and what they can
give to players and how they can divide up the revshare.
But if UTSA can be no worse than the fourth

(01:03):
or fifth highest paid team in the league, I think
they can challenge for a championship next year.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
You know, we talked about what Keldon Johnson was going
to spend his NBA Cup money on buying a lama
at the top of the show today. How awesome would
it be if there was a if one of the
Spurs players donated their NBA Cup winnings to utsa's collective

(01:29):
or their nil initiative or sponsor responsor exactly like that
would be the ultimate Spurs Runners, you know, roadrunner to crossover.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, that I'm all in for that. That would that
would be cool.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Trying to speak it into existence because we had last
night and Amazon Prime commer, Amazon Prime reporter talking about
Keldon buying a lama. It just it'd be great if
we could speak it into existence that she was talking
about donating to UTSA collected.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yes, that and maybe they even do it for basketball.
I mean, they're basketball players, so the basketball team needs
some money too. It makes sense, I mean, and just
to retain players. I mean, UTSA is starting three freshmen
on the basketball team and they're very green right now,
but they're all three really good. And the problem is
is if they you want them to win games, but

(02:24):
you only want them to average like eleven points a game,
because they'll be under the radar. As soon as they
start averaging seventeen, somebody else is gonna take them.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, you're in trouble. Look, all I'm saying is the
Keldon Johnson Convocation Center has a nice ring to it.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
How about it rolls off the tongue, yeah, or or
the or put a picture of a lama in the
front of the building. I don't I don't care, just
whatever it takes to get some revenue there.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
But uh, he could he could house his lama on campus. Yes,
yeah it could.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
It could be like a de facto second mascot to the.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Road, right right, it's like the Utsa's Bevo. It's Kelton's
lama that just lives on campus.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Alright, six o'clock hour coming up. We'll talk more about
the Spurs, some big in ANNFL matchups, a couple other things.
Who's gonna win the Heisman, all that kind of stuff
coming up. If I have fifty six on the ticket,
