Speaker 1 (00:03):
Here we go into our number two of the show
on ticket seven sixty, and thank you again for making
us part of your day.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The news of the.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Day comes from Tennessee and Los Angeles, where Nico iam
Maalava is going to transfer to UCLA. Colin Coward talked
about that earlier today. Now everybody's reporting that's where he's
going to go. And it looks like the prot price
tag is going to be just a little bit more
than one million dollars. So after that fifty three percent
(00:32):
tax bracket tax cut that you're going to take, you're
going to get home with less than half a million bucks,
where you could have had two million in Tennessee, which
would spend a lot better and you probably would have
only had to give up about half of that. Maybe
in the long run that there's a few hundred thousand
dollars difference forty five I'm guessing Tennessee as a two
(00:52):
or three percent, say income tax, I don't know, but
that would be forty percent of two million, or you'd
get home with sixty percent of two million.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
That's one point two It was a C plus student.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Andy, your time six is twelve one point two one
point two million, would have been the net. So he's
going to make about four and fifty thousand net after
taxes with what this deals substantially less money and a
much more expensive place to live in California.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Not that he cares about whether he what he has
to food is.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Usually free for student athletes at schools, but he says
today that it's about the Tennessee offense. Listen, here's a
couple of things I look at right off the bat.
Number one, you're in Knoxville and you have a chance
to you're one of the five teams. It's parentally going
to be in line because of the money that's in
that program to win a championship. Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Alabama,
(01:46):
probably Florida are the top five, the next five or
ou LSU probably maybe Mississippi next four, and then everybody
else is just Kennon fodder for the rest of the conference.
Those are the teams that matter and the rest of
them don't. But you were in a program that does.
(02:08):
You didn't have to drive very far for our fly
very far for games. The furthest West you were going
to ever go is Austin. The furthest East you're ever
going to go. If it's even east, I'd have to
again look at a map to see Knoxville is probably
pretty close to the same parallel that that Gainesville's on.
So it's a lot of a lot of a lot
less travel. You're playing for the second football team in
(02:30):
Southern California. USC is always going to be more important
in football. U c l A Is more known as
a basketball school, USC a football school. So now you're
second fiddle in your own market. Plus you got to
deal with all the NFL and Major League Baseball and
NBA stuff to get notoriety. You're not going to necessarily
win a lot of games there because you and Oregon
(02:51):
are are the teams that are going to have to
travel all the way to the East Coast and to
the Central and East time zones to play conference game.
So enjoy those five hour flights on what was the
basketball coach the other day that he was talking about
after the loss. He said, I'm just concerned about how
(03:11):
uncomfortable it's going to be for that five hour flight
on a llegiate back home. Yeah, so you know, that's
that's something to think about there.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Here's the story.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Many of you aren't going to believe this because, especially
if you're a UT fan, you think, oh, you cheated
every second that they could back in the day, and
they probably cheated to a certain extent. But this is
in the book that Barry Switzer wrote. And when athletes
would come to OU seeking a handout or illegal payments
because it wasn't legal back then.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It was against the rules and.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It would get you probation, he would turn around on
his desk and show them the Heisman Trophy winners, Billy
SAMs and Steve Owens. He coached Steve Owens as an
assistant coach and he coached Billy Sims as a head coach.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And he said, I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I took care of those guys after they got here,
but I never paid them before they came. You can
believe that or not believe it, but I never paid them.
I never told a booster to pay him. To my knowledge,
they never got paid to show up on campus. If
they did, it's something that I had nothing to do with.
But I did take care of Billy Simms when he
(04:18):
was a senior because I wanted him to play a
senior year and his mom needed a new house because
theirs was about to be torn down and you know
whatever they call it, condemned. Their house was so badly
in need of repairs that the county in Hooks, Texas
was going to condemn it, and he needed money to
just get it up to part before they could sell it.
(04:38):
He goes, I give enough money to go buy a house.
Back then, houses weren't that expensive compared to now, but
he gave them. He made sure that missus Simms got
the money. So why would I give you money to
play for me? And now you've got players that are
not only getting paid to play there, they're demanding to
renegotiate seven figure contracts when they've done nothing in their life.
(05:00):
Nico is a good quarterback, was even on the top
ten as far as Heisman Trophy voters last year. If
he was, it's slipped under the radar because it's irrelevant.
This is getting completely out of hand, and somebody somewhere
has to step up. I know Congress is really busy
dealing with things like the Israel conflict in a moss
(05:23):
I know that they're busy with Ukraine. I know they're
busy with other stuff. But somebody needs to set aside
some time and fix this before College athletics doesn't even
closely resemble what we have now. It is the wild
wild West. There are no rules, nobody's getting punished. The
(05:43):
players are one thousand percent in control, and it cannot
continue to go. At some point the money runs out
and if athletes listen. I don't begrudge this on anybody,
but Nico iyam Aleva is the Dennis Schroeder example of
what can happen if you're an NIL player. If you
don't remember the Dennis Schroeder thing that he asked the
(06:07):
Lakers for an extension. You wanted four years an eighty
million dollars. They offered him four years eighty million dollars,
and his agent and him said no, we're worth more
than that, and the Lakers said, no, you're not. You
have a day to sign it. They didn't sign it.
They withdrew the offer, and he ended up signing for
Toronto or somebody for a million dollars or a million five.
He took a major, major cut. He's still I think
(06:30):
he's still playing in the league someplace. He is, but
he's not making the eighty million dollars that he would
have made if he would have just understood what lane
he lives in, and Niko Aamalva is in a similar boat.
Learn what your value is and colleges cannot renegotiate deals
with players. Sorry, somebody else is going to pay you more.
Hit the road. We got, that's all we got. We've
(06:51):
got eighty five football players on this roster. Pretty soon
we're going to have one hundred and five when all
these roster expansions happen. You're not that important, and as
Josh Heipel said, you're not as uh, you're not as
important as the tea.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You're not Yeah, you're not bigger than the tea. What
makes this even have more egg on his face, Andy,
is because it's it was Nico's family. According to all
these different sources, that Nico's family was saying, it wasn't
about the money. It was about the Tennessee Volunteers offense.
So let me toss this to you, Andy. The Tennessee
(07:25):
Volunteers offense this past season was ranked in the top
fifteen total offense at four hundred and forty seven yards
a game. Can you guess where the UCLA Bruins finished
this past season much slower than that, in the bottom seventeen,
only averaging three hundred and twenty eight point eight yards.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
A game eighteen point four points a game.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
There was a game I think it was two years ago,
so it wasn't during COVID, it was post COVID, and
UCLA had a home game that twenty seven thousand people
showed up and if you'll remember, Troy Aikman went on.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
TV and had a fit over it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
He posted a picture on Twitter, I remember, and he
was like, this is unacceptable, what's going on at UCLA?
And for only twenty seven thousand people to show up
at one hundred thousand seat the Rose Bowl Eland stadiums
one hundred and six and it's full every game. You're
gonna your games matter more when you're in the SEC
(08:26):
and not in California. There's so many things, there's so
many people with so many things to do that do
not include you. There are people in Los Angeles will
never know you exist. There's nobody in Knoxville. Your relevance
is way more important in Tennessee than it is there.
And this is one of the things that I think
that that that players have to understand. With coaches. Ninety
(08:49):
nine percent of coaches are not greedy. They're not going
to tell a player a lie. Some will some will
do that. They're not going to tell a player a
lie just to keep them in there in their stay.
And I think Jeff Trailer is the perfect example of that.
He told Joe Evans last year, you got to take
the Miami deal. Joe said, no, I don't want to.
(09:10):
Wants to hear he begged Joe Evans to leave for
six hundred and however many thousand dollars it was that
Miami was going to give him.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He's he was.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
He was happy that Joe Evans chose to stay, but
he was telling him, listen, I can't give you anywhere
near that. I think Joe got forty thousand or somewhere
around that number, and that was the highest paid guy
they had, and yet he could have made fifteen times
that if he'd have gone to Miami. And so when
a player walks into your office and says, I'm thinking
(09:39):
about going to the draft. I'm thinking about going to
another school. Here's what I think my value is. And
the coach looks you in the eye and says, you're
not going to get drafted. Come back for another year.
You'll have a better chance when every scout that he
has talked to says, and he shows you on paper,
here's your drafter. You're not going to get drafted. There's
(10:02):
going to be twenty running backs or quarterbacks or safeties drafted.
You're not going to be one of them. You should
come back and play more. When a coach tells you that,
the immediately most of the family members say, oh, he's lying.
He just wants you back for one more year, and
he's not going to pay you because they don't have
enough money, or they don't want to spend the money
on you, or they're not going to make you the
(10:23):
most important person. Believe the coaches. Most of the time,
the coaches have the player's best interest in line because
at one point in their life they were in that boat.
They were players. And there's some coaches that are a
rogue and renegade and they're going to be selfish and
they'd rather have a player not go to the draft
so they don't have to re recruit that player, or
(10:44):
they'd rather tell the player, yeah, I'm giving you three
hundred thousand and that's all your worth. Don't believe anybody else.
There's a handful of those guys out there. But most coaches,
whether they're a position coach or the head coach, have
been in that player's shoes before at some point in
their life, and they understand the chaos that goes on
and the juggle of life that an eighteen to twenty
(11:06):
two year old athlete has to do while trying to
go get a degree and do the things that they
do on campus. So I think that if players, well,
my guess is is I am Malaba walked into josh
Iipel's office and said, hey, my agent and I want
to the A phone call came from the agent. We
want to renegotiate here. We think we're worth four, not two. Now,
(11:28):
if you're josh Iipel, you basically you tell them listen,
all I got is too and if you're worth more
and you think you're worth more, have at it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
But we're going to We're going to give you two
like we promised two years. You're getting eight million dollars
over four years to play college football. I'm sorry, that's
all we got. And if you still don't believe your coach,
then you're in neco shoes. You're going to a place
of irrelevance. A team that has no chance still winning
against inferior competition most of the time, and you're not
(11:59):
going to get your draft status isn't going to improve
by playing in California than it is in Tennessee. I
don't think this was Obviously this was the wrong move
from him. It's a life lesson. But sometimes the scouts
and the coaches know more than your parents and the
guy that's your best friend down the street that wants
to rep you and make money off of you.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, financially it's the wrong move, but we don't know yet.
Who's to say that maybe this doesn't could possibly turn
around UCLA.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
We don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
But again the whole notion of the family saying it
wasn't about the money, it was about the offense.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I gave you the.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Average yards a game, points per average points per game.
Last year, Tennessee was on the top fifteen at thirty
five point seven points a game.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The UCLA Bruins are in.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
The bottom bottom ten at eighteen point four.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So don't tell me what was about the office.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Where did let's check real quick, where did UCLA finish
in the Big ten?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Last year? CLA was five and seven.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Overall, they finished with a three and six conference record.
They were worse than the than the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Okay with I am malava. Are they better than Ohio State, Michigan,
Oregon or Penn State? Are they better than Illinois? It
was in it was Indiana. Was it was Indiana that made.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Their own well Illinois as well. Illinois was ten and
three last year. But then, you know, so even if
they're let's just say they flipped the record and go
seven and five, you're still behind eight.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You're gonna finish eighth in the league. If because you've.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Got Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Penn State, Indiana, Illinois
and at Michigan State and Wisconsin or decent, they'll.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Be better Iowa, Minnesota, Iowa's in that boat. Minnesota, No, No, Minnesota.
Minnesota was eight and five last year.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Andy'm miraculous, right us he is better than they are.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
USC was better. I were terrible. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I don't think this makes you see LA a contender
or even in the top six of the Big of
the Big ten.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I don't either, So good luck to you, you know,
I hope that it works out for you. But again,
this could just be a life lesson that The old
adage is the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
All right, Coming up, we've got more transfer portal news.
That portal open at midnight tonight. It stays open until
next Saturday night. Coaches all over the world are holding
their breath to see where their players are, whether their
players are leaving or staying. I've got some observations on that.
Coming up next, it's the Andy average show on the
ticket
Here we go into our number two of the show
on ticket seven sixty, and thank you again for making
us part of your day.

do on campus. So I think that if players, well,
my guess is is I am Malaba walked into josh
Iipel's office and said, hey, my agent and I want
to the A phone call came from the agent. We
want to renegotiate here. We think we're worth four, not two. Now,
(11:28):
if you're josh Iipel, you basically you tell them listen,
all I got is too and if you're worth more
and you think you're worth more, have at it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
But we're going to We're going to give you two
like we promised two years. You're getting eight million dollars
over four years to play college football. I'm sorry, that's
all we got. And if you still don't believe your coach,
then you're in neco shoes. You're going to a place
of irrelevance. A team that has no chance still winning
against inferior competition most of the time, and you're not
(11:59):
going to get your draft status isn't going to improve
by playing in California than it is in Tennessee. I
don't think this was Obviously this was the wrong move
from him. It's a life lesson. But sometimes the scouts
and the coaches know more than your parents and the
guy that's your best friend down the street that wants
to rep you and make money off of you.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, financially it's the wrong move, but we don't know yet.
Who's to say that maybe this doesn't could possibly turn
around UCLA.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
We don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
But again the whole notion of the family saying it
wasn't about the money, it was about the offense.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I gave you the.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Average yards a game, points per average points per game.
Last year, Tennessee was on the top fifteen at thirty
five point seven points a game.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The UCLA Bruins are in.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
The bottom bottom ten at eighteen point four.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So don't tell me what was about the office.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Where did let's check real quick, where did UCLA finish
in the Big ten?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Last year? CLA was five and seven.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Overall, they finished with a three and six conference record.
They were worse than the than the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Okay with I am malava. Are they better than Ohio State, Michigan,
Oregon or Penn State? Are they better than Illinois? It
was in it was Indiana. Was it was Indiana that made.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Their own well Illinois as well. Illinois was ten and
three last year. But then, you know, so even if
they're let's just say they flipped the record and go
seven and five, you're still behind eight.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You're gonna finish eighth in the league. If because you've.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Got Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Penn State, Indiana, Illinois
and at Michigan State and Wisconsin or decent, they'll.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Be better Iowa, Minnesota, Iowa's in that boat. Minnesota, No, No, Minnesota.
Minnesota was eight and five last year.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Andy'm miraculous, right us he is better than they are.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
USC was better. I were terrible. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I don't think this makes you see LA a contender
or even in the top six of the Big of
the Big ten.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I don't either, So good luck to you, you know,
I hope that it works out for you. But again,
this could just be a life lesson that The old
adage is the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
All right, Coming up, we've got more transfer portal news.
That portal open at midnight tonight. It stays open until
next Saturday night. Coaches all over the world are holding
their breath to see where their players are, whether their
players are leaving or staying. I've got some observations on that.
Coming up next, it's the Andy average show on the
