The landscape of college football has flipped on its head. Coaches are getting axed mid-season, freshmen are rolling onto campus in Lamborghinis, and the transfer portal feels more like NFL free agency than student-athlete progression. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, the crew dives deep into the money moves, power shifts, and unintended consequences of the NIL era where the pressure to win fast leaves no room for mistakes and loyalty is traded for million-dollar deals. 

Is the game still about the grind, or has it become straight-up business? From the downfall of once-great coaches to the rise of players-turned-brands, we break down what’s working, what’s broken, and what might be coming next. Tune in to hear the real impact of NIL cash, the portal power plays, and why five years from now, college football might not be "college" at all.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Levels, your n I L deals turning freshmen into millionaires.
I mean you have transfer a portal that works more
like NFL free agency.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to the Hood Report, the spot where culture meets competition.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
And we spent real shit. H What up though?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
And welcome to the Hood Report, the spot where culture
meets competition.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
And where we spit real shit.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Sports, for sure, is our focus, while culture guides and
drives our discussion. In the end, our focus is to
ensure that you are listeners are both informed and entertained.
And with that I have my three normal gentlemen here
with me to help help do so. Interesting topic set

(01:01):
up for us tonight Today we're going to be breaking
down the state of college football midseason coaches being fired
at record levels, your NIL deals turning freshmen into millionaires.
I mean he had transfer a portal that works more
like NFL free agency.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
So going to be interesting conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
And before we dive into this, I just want to
take a second give a shout out to our sponsor, hood.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Gear, which is the official streetwear of.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
The Hood Report, and you can get yours and represent
your hood the right way at hoodyear shop dot com.
That's once again hoodyear shop dot com you can represent
your hood like we do. So with that's starting into it,
I think the first thing and probably the most noteworthy
thing that we've had is we've had a host of

(01:54):
coaches to today, ten coaches that have been fired in
season before we even get to Thanksgiving, So an alarming
rate of coaches, an alarming amount of change. So I
guess my question is that this new environment of of
n I L Transfer portal and month, so many dollars

(02:14):
being spent or dollars that you see now they're always
being spent getting paid.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Dollars that you see, has it created a nuisance.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Of urgency and lack of patience in college college football?
So that one mark Man, you think about that one.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Well, you know, hey, when you spend that money, and
I mean and well, when you spend the money that
you know that everybody can see because like like we
all know that they've been spending money. But when they
spend all this money, they won't results right away and
they ain't taking no for answer. So that money, yeah,
ain't no more patients and college football for sure, because

(02:54):
when they spend that money, they're expecting these results to
be right away and to me, that's a that's a
negative because you can't expect, especially if.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
You're a new coach coming in.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
I mean, even though you spend the money for that
first year, I mean, it still takes time to build
a program. But unfortunately these days they ain't the case.
You gotta get money, and I mean and you gotta
get results. But a couple of veteran coaches got fired
to those I mean a couple of them, like like, like,
we all know Franklin, that's the most obvious one.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
I think that was.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
That was like like a long overdue for him because
he just couldn't win the big game.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
So I mean, hey, but but we got we got
a homie that we got a homie.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
That say that he was a good guy and he's
walked his daughter out in the field, all that kind
of ship.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
That ship.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Hey, he probably was a good guy. But but but
if that's you, the one game that should don't mean
to the programs all that walking your daughter, They don't
give a fuck about that.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
They give a winning.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Games and going to Bowls and I win in the
championship and then really unfortunate for him, it is because
his two biggest rivals in the conference just won the
championship the last couple of years too, so.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
That's putting more pressures.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
So yeah, so he I mean, it's a it's tough
these days to be a coach, I'm telling you, right.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, but it's always a long time coming.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
Though.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
It's a long time coming for these players to get paid.
They should have been been paid. On my opinion, they
should have been been paid at we're talking coach what
the coaches, Okay, but the coaches.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Who playing the coaches the school right, the SCHOOLMNI so
most of them, most of these coaches the old school,
so they should be used to they should.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
I don't know. It's a new thing for me, and.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
And and and and and the problem is, I say,
is that it is the the n I O money
and and all this has sped up the process.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
You don't get.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
You know, we used to see teams that you could
close your eyes and say, certain teams is gonna be
in certain places. Uh and and at certain points you know,
before this, because they were just powerhouses and they had
stacked talent. Now the talent is not stacked anymore. It's
more water down because guys are going different places and
uh and and it's putting coaches in bad situations.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
It really is. So you so when you look at this,
you talk coaches, and you talk the matter. Right, my time,
what's fair?

Speaker 1 (05:22):
What's the fair amount of time for a coach to
be given to be able to come into a new situation,
new program, with new players, and to make sure happen.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Three years, three years.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
A couple of years for sure, because because they first
come in, they don't have their players.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
So you've got to give them at least a couple
of years for them to get their players in. You
got a recruit, Yeah, recruit anymore because now when you
come in, you still got to recruit a little bit.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Get no, no, no, you're not gonna get the first year.
You don't get first year. But but you can go
to the portal and you can get a hundred people players.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Didn't go to the portal.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Got money, yeah, I mean you got some money and money.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Well well, but of course some schools got a lot
more than others.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
That's the problem.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
But the attraction of other schools, you know, of course,
the bigger schools.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
But the thing is.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
What's hurting the bigger schools is is that you know,
like I mean, I think saman left. I mean, and
I think he didn't say this a couple of times
about to be because he left with his I stuff,
but he but he really didn't say it hurts It
hurted him really because he ain't got no fast starts
sitting on the bench, something else, clad string and this

(06:39):
and that, because now mother's getting paid and they they
ain't gonna sit around and wait to play and all
that ship.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
So before the my futhers on the bench wouldn't getting
no money. So now they get money paid.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
You can't you can't hold that over their head, you know,
being there next year, here next year.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
And he was like, no, the hell with that. I
ain't waiting to try to see no more.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
So one of the big things that that the Shavens
your Dabbo and Gundhy, they said that that paying the
players was going to directly impact their ability to be
able to coast the teams and the coast of players
the right way because the focus is drawn. So from
a coach's perspective, you take them out of an environment
where there was no money being paid. So now there's

(07:24):
money being paid. Is that more difficult for the coaches?
Is it easier for the coach of the expectations is it?
You know what, what do you all thinking is for
a person stepping into a new.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
Coaches rod Well, I think it's it's gonna be difficult
because they think they got they head a swoll.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
Like they just shipped around campus, you know what I mean,
and they look.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
They brought my brothers. They always thought that was where
you go where you.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
Go and pick up a rolls Royce or some some
um something from the from the dealership and you rolled
around campus thinking you a big ship around campus.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
If you was a baller, run ride around the road.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
Now it's now is money money seen.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
So I think it's gonna be harder now because sometimes
they have to hide that money.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
You have to hide that money. You can't drop around
in that ship. But now you can.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
And not only that, it the way you can even
approach to even talk to people.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Now when you go to coaching. You can't even hardly.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Say nothing to them because if they if they don't
like your tone or anything about it, they'd be like,
you know what, all right, next year, I'm flat. You know,
it's it's nothing to hold them over there no more.
So you know they I think something need to be fixed.
But with you know, you think about I think it's
a lot more breasture on the coaches.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
I mean, I think there's money, yeah, because like I said,
but I mean, like I said my old statement, anytime
that money is getting pushed out.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
People just paying results right.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Away, and and and and and really I think personally,
I think it causes for the coaches. This money is
causing problems because everybody at getting paid. Everybody getting paid,
you know what I'm saying, So you gotta as a coach,
you're going I mean, you gotta have a good balance
because I mean, okay, yeah, it's paid.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
You know.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well, well well.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
They're getting paid. Yeah, they gotta have they buddy and ship.
They can't walk around with the rolle on this ship.
They gotta ship.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
They so but I mean, but I'm just saying, but
it's to me that puts more pressure on the coach
because you gotta have a good balance because you got
getting paid like a motherfucker, and then you got to
always alignement the mother that's backing form and ship.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
You gotta keep happy. And I mean, and they getting
paid paid, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
But as a coach you, I mean to me, that
brings a whole different element to the game for him.
They gotta have a real good balance, you know, keeping
everybody trying to keep everybody happy and all that ship too.
So I probably think it's a lot more pressure on
the coaches when you bring in all this money. I mean,
like I said, I mean, like we said before, everybody
getting paid. But still now it's out there. So I

(10:01):
think it's a lot more pressure on the coaches because
it's a lot of different things they gotta deal with,
not just not just playing the bomb X and right.
It's it's a totally different game now, so.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
You still deal with the family members as well as well.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Last this is it does affect excellent. Now.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
My ability to be able to do things is depending
on you drafts, doing plays and doing the right things
allow me to get my shine right, not go off
and be somewhere else.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
I think I think it's more pressure on the coaches.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
But what I would say is this, it's the leveling
off because for years the coaches, like I'm not sure
if you guys understand it's like or notice the pressure
has been on coaches.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
It should be happening because for years.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
They get the they get the salary, right, they get
the shoe money, like they get they get shoe money.
They make money based on them signing up for whatever
shoe company, and you know, they get money for the
the show did they do, like all of them, A
lot of them on the big colleges in particular, they
do this show where they record and they talk about
the game and all that, but they get paid there.

(11:09):
And there's probably four or five other little ultimate streams
where like the coaches, like the equipment, stuff they buy
and who they buy from, they get they get a
cut of that. They get a cut of every fucking
little piece. So the thing is is they beginning that
for years, some of them pushing back. I think it's
a bullshit because at some point you got level off, right,
it can't just be you getting paid and the expectations.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
They say in the past.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Now as your salary increases, then they gotta get paid
to So in some cases a lot of cases they
been away.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yet some of the motherfucking superstar played make more than coaches.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
Is of course, of course, I think I think I
think Hunter and was making I ain't gonna say more
than Dion, but they make it so more than other
coaches that was coaching.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
More on the salary than Dion. They weren't making more
on the noon said that the other coaches.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
Nobody the other coaches.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
The other coaches, Yeah, they would, I was saying.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Then they were making more of his coaching salary, throwing
in the blenders and all that bullshit d and the commercials.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Not a flack that mother is making. He's making it,
make some making.

Speaker 6 (12:17):
What about what about that uh that that they coached
from Florida? He got fired too.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, Napiers had been fired two years ago.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
He's got fired after winning. So like it normally. That's
what they said. That's what they say. It don't matter
what happened. I don't care about this. But to his point,
he never got Florida to the levels that they expected.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
And if you look at the list we talking about
in a minute, Lagway making a lot of money, so
he selected that's they're making.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
He's in the top ten as far as the money.
So expectations with that.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
So I think in initially when you bubble it all down,
it all down seemed like ball. Now you lose two games,
then you're out of there, and hey, maybe if that's
a new reality, that's what they got to do for
their money. So so now you turn it. So we're
gona talk a little bit about n I L. We
got quarterbacks driving lambows. Take a college snap. N I

(13:17):
L is empowering players or it's empowering players financially or
is it turning college football you think into a straight
up business. So it's college fotball now more business than
it is about you know before they oh the student athletes.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Education, all that bullshit.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
But what you got thought on that is it turned
into where it's business and just about a thousand cents
or is it n I L turned into other ship?

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Now it's.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
It's about what n IL stand for, your your your name,
image and likeness.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
It's all about the money. It's all about the money now.

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Because you don't like to if you don't like to coach,
you don't like the school, you jump in that portal
and you go somewhere else. So that's a business move
for the students now. So right now it's all about
the money. That's that's all it is right now, all
about the money. Yeah, y'all understand, how y'all got y'all
quarterback all about the money.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, not so money to pay for it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
So I say this, I say this on as it
relates to n I M so I'm not sure if
you guys notice, But so the cap for school is
twenty and a half million is what all of them
are given across the board that they can spend.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
That's the cap.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
You're not to spend it all. And then what happens, No,
what happens when the extra money comes in? Yeah, the
boosters your alumni.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
So like teams like Texas went from that twenty to
thirty five million, it's reported they don't have the money that.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Happen to get spent off the books. They ain't got
no track of that, right, but it's reported that at
thirty five million.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
So when you get to those levels and you got
that much money above the table that's been paid out, right,
do you all think it's hell up in the sport
or hurting the sport?

Speaker 3 (15:01):
But is that?

Speaker 6 (15:03):
Is that for the player?

Speaker 3 (15:11):
So what's it doing to the game? I hurt the game?

Speaker 4 (15:15):
You know why it's hurting it because just because the
team has the money to spend it, I mean, and
and to bring these players in, that don't mean it's
gonna be a good fit. This is all just about
the money right now. So so we ain't even talking
about the as and no, we just talked about getting
this player in because every player doesn't fit good with
every team and every system, but right now with them

(15:35):
to spend that money, they don't even give them up.
They just they just figured, look that this guy is
the best player. But just because he's the best player,
I mean, that doesn't mean that he fits good with
your system. And that's what's gonna get lost in this
because people just spending this money and they just they
just pushing it out kind of. I mean because because
because like I'm going to list right now, and you

(15:56):
mentioned DJ black Way, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
He getting paid million.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
He's he's been, he's been horrible, and it's probably because
their syst me maybe, I mean, because all these teams
is not gonna now now with these teams adjust to
that period, to his strengths to make them successful. I
don't know, but to me, it's all about now. It's
all about the money. And I been the exit, the

(16:24):
exit was getting less behind it.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Clearly, clearly the money has ruined, has starting to ruin things.
There's no there's no continuity. You don't have a chance
to build anything anymore. You know, halfway through the season,
guys has already checked out because they are already thinking
about which team they're gonna be in the.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Portland next year.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
You know, all the smaller teams are really paying because
they don't have the money to spend.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, that that twenty million, twenty and a half millions
is for really.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
The power for exactly what you got you to the
group of five. They ain't spending that kind of money,
so they're not going to be able to get compete
now peed amongst the level of schools that they're in with,
but them competing against like the big schools, like you ask,
the remarkable this year with somebody loose like South Florida
and other teams that have really small but that they

(17:10):
spent being able to compete with some of the big
schools and beat some of those big schools.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
But I think, but but I think that, like you know,
with the money, it helps more to the little schools
because like we mentioned before, like you know, Alabama and Georgia,
theys to have second and third string, all them fast stars,
and they weren't gett paid no money. But so now
if I'm one of them, guys, I go to a
small school and okay, and I'm getting a million dollars

(17:34):
or whatever, you know what I'm saying, they start that.
I mean this to me, it helps other little schools
better than the mean, you know, than the bigger schools,
because now you're getting some of those fast stars. I mean,
but you're still getting them, yeah, I mean, because before
you will never get them at all. You're not really building,

(17:56):
no continuity, and they're gone before you can even really
build anything.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
But that's kind of But but do the stars matter now?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
I mean, what the stars? What? What kind of star?
You get? Three? Four, five stars?

Speaker 2 (18:10):
That plays a role in what they're paying them and
what you're paying you're coming in when you're coming in
from from my high school.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
Oh that's high school.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
I mean, and the porter once you get once you
go to the other ride and you go portal, then
it's different. How did you perform last year? But if
you talk in n I L, we're talking, we're talking
in n L, then the stars matter.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, yeah, so, but but before the little school did
never have a chance to even to even think about
getting them.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
None of the time players, they have a chance, you
know what I'm saying. But now at least they do
have a chance now and they actually getting some of them.
So I think that, like I said, that kind of
works in their favor. I think I think got it
works in the smaller schools favor.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Because yeah, do y'all do y'all think that they should
have it where if you you transfer, it's got to
be for a two year thing. It can't just be
this one year your thing. Do you think that will
help you think that they did that? Well, we're not
talking to transfer part, yeah, all the time n I L.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
We're talking to paying them coming in. And so this
is for high school recruited players is where the n
i L. And obviously as they move around and it's
still in I L when they go elsewhere. So we're
just talking that part of it, not necessarily the portal.
The portal we're gonna talk hit in the second, but
from n I L perspective, one of the things that
I wanted to hit real quick if you got like
the top ten here's the top ten kids, uh in

(19:30):
the portal and heavily, heavily impluved my quarterbacks. So arch
Manning six point eight million dollars, so eight million dow worth.
The playout at Art manager okay, Carson Beck four point
three million out number two, number two lost not not
last week, but anyway, overall he's been okay.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Jeremiah Smith the one top ten lists.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, but he would have played that.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
He hasn't had that great year. I'm so far so
Garrett Nutsmeyer three point.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Eight you know, hell ship, hell no, he he that motherfucker.
He should be paying the school.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
That's bullethit and he been pulling.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
So uh Leonor Sellers three point he's number five three
point seven million dollars South Caroline has been disappointing to
this point. No ship, DJ Lagway number six three point
seven million, dous this motherfucker for the show, don't deserve it?

Speaker 3 (20:34):
And then hey, hey, hey, and his next motherfucker you
about to say?

Speaker 4 (20:37):
I would tell you right now, I don't know how
the fuck he gets paid, go ahead, I would.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
The only way.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Last way earns it is if he's getting paid per interception,
then the motherfuckerself.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Otherwise you don't that now. Number seven Drew Aller. Drew
Aller three point two million dollars Drew Allur Okay, I
got I thought it was the name. Next I thought

is the worst A just are just bad. Beg deserve
I mean, Began has been playing good this year. Yeah,
but if you got the bottom of his list.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
I'll tell you these motherfuckers, notts A, Mayor, Sailers, leg Way, No.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
None of them. Three don't deserve to get paid at all.
They paid.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
None of the list Drew Allen was well, he would
he didn't finish the game the mother played eight ninety,
the game where he lost to Northwestern.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Allen was repons before the lost to U c. L A.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
The lost to to the lost to Northwestern, right, and
they're gonna last without him. That's he painted because he
go back to what you say about how you go
to switching in the in the program sometimes don't work
for you. I've seen some quarterbacks, which what is the quarterback?
Is it?

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Casts?

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Is that custo Florida State? He came from Boston College.
Before he came bo College.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
But he looks better over and up in Florida State.
It's like the system he was he was looking not
last four games?

Speaker 5 (23:01):
Well, what about Carson back.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
This year?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Last year he was bad. Last year before they played
played pretty good in Georgia. But this year he's better.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
Last year has been a good choice, but made for
the but for the quarterbacks coming in for the but
but this is my point about the timing, because even
for the quarterbacks know that like coming in for their
first year, it's not it's not easy to come in
your first year and then.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
You know and and do great receivers or not.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
So, I mean, and that's why I think the money
probably gonna be gonna get jacked up, because eventually, when
you had all these motherfuckers coming in their first year
and ain't doing ship and I mean, and and the
program is trying to rush it for sure because you
know you read them, because we don't have that much time,
you know.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
So yeah, but we have three three.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Player bounce coming in, you know what I'm saying, especially
coming in you are senior, You're going somewhere. That's gonna mean,
we're gonna expect the whole bunch. But in all reality,
it takes more than one year usually for for you
to get that time and you know what your receivers
and everything else.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
But that's where we're at right now. Though. That's where
we're at.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
So with the N I L N I A L
might be crazy as fucking me the wild Wild West,
but I'm gonna tell you the transfer portal might be
fucking even worse.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
N I A right comment one another may even be worse.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
But like there's situations where you have quarterbacks that.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Have changed teams, like two and three second time I
can think of like two and three USC quarterbacks that
have been all over the place.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
You got you have multiple quarterbacks from USC.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
So, uh so, what do you guys think about as
a part of this the transfer portal where you think
about the porter where you have people dropping from one
team to the next team.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
To next don't have to say the years. In my opinion,
they're gonna have to change that ship. Yeah, once they
change it.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
It's gotta be a max of how many times you
can transfer. So you tell me, I can come as
a freshman, I can change every year.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
You gotta do two years.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
It's gotta be a max. I say, I say you
get one. I said, you get one chance to move
because as the first time. Okay, so if you if
you picked the wrong school the first time and then
you picked this the wrong school the second time, you
know what, you can get the right the school for you.
So you gotta be it's got to be a cut

(25:35):
off saying, look, you can you got one transfer.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Report of what was one year and that's it. Two
years is about the same thing, you know.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
But.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Worth for damn you're going after three years, right, So
you're so you're saying you guys are advocating that just
want you getting out one transfer.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
I said, you get one transfer or one every two years.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
You can only do it once you trans for you
got you gotta be there for two years. You can't leave.
You gotta you gotta play there for two years.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
Yeah, so ain't nobody regulating this? If there's no regulation
or it is very loosely regulating. What happens is you
put your name into the portal, you then have it.
You get an agent, So they get agents and cots
football they are doing it.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
I know probably I'm sure that I don't basketball, but
you get an agent, get well, there's guys that are
certified agents that are behalf, that are that to represent
them on their behalf, and then they go out and
seek and find teams that are that that match and
or looking for the money and match them from the
standpoint of what they're looking for. And the next way

(26:40):
they go to they have guys that are are are
certain filed on their behalf where it ain't the player doing.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
It, but the amount they can take as much as
they want.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Now those guys not the percentage no more.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
But the problem is what are we what are we
teaching these kids teaching them that no competition because because
I mean for the job and this and that, what
are we really teaching them, because we're teaching them a
bad forting example. Because if you think, if you think
you can just run from everything, because that's the that's

(27:17):
the case. We're telling them that, you know what, Okay,
it's tough over here, just go that.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Ain't say no good lesson exactly exactly penalty.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
Yeah, when this coach just telling these kids are jump
in the portal too. When you when you're coaching, don't
tell the kids that jump in the portal. Just the
mother state you right here and the.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Coaches can't tell him that you can't go. The coaches
that I.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
Know, they can't tell them that don't tell to the portal.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
That's yeah, I know, killing.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
The game man. What's the deadline to get in the portal? There?

Speaker 1 (27:58):
There's a deadline that is like because actually, uh Nico,
Nico probably pushed it to him. It was like a
couple of weeks before the season started when Nico transferred
from my from u c l A and went over
to I mean from from Tennessee and went to u
c l A.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
So I think I don't think it's I think there
the lion is out there as well. And one of
the other things is too. If you think about the
U n L V guy.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Last year, the quarterback that transferred, he transferred after two games.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Wow, crazy, it's an end season transfer.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
You can do that in the middle of the season.
I don't know you could do that. He left. He
left last year after two games. But he said they fucked.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Around with n i L money. He was worried about
how he played. He played okay, he said they fucked
up his in i L money. They got promised to
make him out and they didn't give it to him.
So then he bounced, he said, out during the season.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
And they set off bowl games now too, you know,
because they don't want to get hurt before they get transferred,
you know, drafted.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, they they reserve reserted right Hey there.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
What happens is before the power was with the coaches
and there was too much. It was too much of
an absolute power that they had. Now you open it up,
you swung it over.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
We're now. I think it's a bit too much for
the playlay player getting paid.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
You gotta you gotta put some restrictions and put some guys,
they didn't see that way. Done a poor job of
putting structure to this ship where you got my fucker
jump around O Blake's like for for it's like and
quite not.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
It is just like free agency. You got to watch
the first couple of weeks, like, Okay, let me see
that motherfuck over there? Said he there?

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Oh that court, he went there, Damn he last he
was over there. We're like four weeks in before I
realized some motherfuckers had even moved and was on at
this new school. I think that the transfer portal had
left a lot to be desired as well. But but
it sounds like to a person, we're saying that we
don't we don't agree with the transfer portal, right, and

(29:55):
we don't agree with necessarily with the n I L
and the I think that dollars are available, I mean
if they wouldn't be paying it, the dollars being made,
the dollars being paid because the institution.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Are still making their billions or whatever.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Right, and then you make it to the twelteam tournament,
you make give you more money and.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Ship, right, Yeah, So I do have a question.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
So if a kid go into the portal and two
and two universities want the kid, right, So it depends
on the dollars or do it depends on the ranking
inside the portal where the school is at, you know,
I mean they got to rank the kid.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
The kid and his agent representative, they make the decision
on where we go. You got to they get to
make their own choice.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
And I wouldn't have bet that the decision is gonna
pay me based on who paying the most.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Is gonna be.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
About it to schools about who paid the most. I'm
coming there.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
That's that's what's gonna come down to you. You figure
the decision based on that. And and the thing is
is why the coaches in some cases they talked about it.
They're right in the mix of it, right, They're equally
responsible for it because they going out after trying to win.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
So they're gonna do whatever.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
They'll give a fuck, They're gonna jump through whatever hoops
and do whatever they got to do in order to
make sure that they get they laying the right players
and that they go hit the alumni, get whoever they
whatever money didn't need to be. Atlanta's players sold be
like the draft, the work.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
I think the Porters should be like the draft, the
worst teams go to number one.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
If you're jump in that draft in the portal, you
go to that worst team.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
George Washing.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
Right that portal.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Yeah, yeah, Hey, you're trying to you're trying to end
the portal. We're trying to. We're talking about the handle it,
not getting rid of it.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
They stay out of it all right, So down So
when you're taking that all this ship up together, you
have the coaches and that the turner is going there,
and I think it's gonna happen eventually, Like the old
school guys is gonna be going soon and you're gonna
have like this new school, cutting edge guy where they're
gonna bring in like now they the whole.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Infrastructure come here.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Like if you look at Stanford, one of the things
I saw like with Luck Lucking and brought in a
general manager. So they have general managers do on college,
they have the administrators. I mean, like a whole whole
infrastructure built to be able to support it. At the
same time, thesefuckers getting paid to motherfuckers get paid.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
It's money. It's money all over the place.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
So I'm play when you take all the coaches and
that care of sale and the jobs are going on there.
You take the N I L and the dollars just
floating around and the billity for players jump around with
teams with the transfer portal. Take all that again, lots
fast forward five years from now, this closing out fast forwards. Okay,
five years from now, what does kind of football look like?

(33:00):
Do we have super conferences? Do we have a players union?
Do we still have is it even collage? Even amateur
sports anymore?

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Right?

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Because it crosses over the last park, what do you
what do you guys see? And on this we'll go
around everybody. Who do you guys see five years from now?
What does it look like to you in five years?

Speaker 3 (33:20):
But you're well.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
As for the conferences, yeah, it's gonna boil down to
I'm telling you because we're getting down to where it's
gonna be two two major conferences, and we know what
those two are. It's gonna it's gonna be pretty other. Actually,
for I feel bad for the smaller schools because the
smaller school is gonna fade out. I think they're gonna

(33:41):
fade out because it's gonna be because the thing is,
if if we're just starting off with all this money
right now and it's only gonna get bigger. It's only
gonna get bigger. And if it's getting bigger, it's gonna
be more money of all that's gonna that's gonna put
the little guys out of the way and it's gonna
be all about the big boys always.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
So it's gonna be it's gonna be. I think it's gonna.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Be just like just your major schools every year from
the same schools, because they're gonna be the ones with
all the money, spending the money. So you think they're
gonna sun their conferences down and more. I think I
think you visit they decides to need more, and you're
gonna see two major conferences, which is gonna be the
big team and the SEC, and.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
It's gonna be a couple of commerces.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
But watch other schools is gonna join these commerces because
the conferences make these deals too to where they're getting
the TV deals and all that stuff too, and the SEC.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Major deals to So guess what. Guess what that means.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
That's more motherfucker money for these big commercions. So and
these look I mean, and like you know, it's like
teams like in the A SEC and all that. If
if if I'm if, I'm ma getting that same money
as a Big ten getting.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Trust me, them schools gonna be coming over to like you.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
They're already talking about the revenue share, the difference the
revenue share for the Big ten and the SEC versus
the A C.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
C and the Big twelve and the Big twelve. You're
gonna spirit you usually.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Clips in Florida State and the Big ten and all
that your watch eventually the next I'm taking you, you say,
the next five years.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
That's why I think we're headed.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
And it's gonna push out the mean little schools even
more than what they already are pushed out. And this
is gonna be just these couple of major conferences. And
that's it, because he motherfucker's going where the money is
at so.

Speaker 5 (35:33):
Q or or tweet, which I agree with Mark. It's
only gonna be four major major colleges left in a.

Speaker 6 (35:42):
Major Now, well, that's all it's gonna be. That's all
it's gonna be. Everything's gonna get cut out. It's just
gonna be those four left. And they should have commissions.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
They ain't gonna be to take the They're gonna be
taken the little schools in they gonna take them out.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
People.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
They'll be on the side of something like some ship.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
As for like going you know, as for like the
playoffs and all that stuff. Yeah, no, they're gonna have
They don't have a chance, but I think.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
They should have.

Speaker 6 (36:13):
They should have commissioners or somebody over those conferences commission
their commission.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Now, yeah, we got that are going out and negotiating
those deals, like the.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
He went over to the Chicago Bears, right, he did
that for a while. They went over to the Chicago Bears.
And there's another pro guy that came in and do
another one of the big concerts, put hands back and forth.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
Well, they need to put some structure on this nr
L deals.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Then I don't think I don't my personal opinion five
years from now, you fast, I don't think they won't
structure because in the transition, all this ship's money and everywhere,
they can't control it.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
They can't track it.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
So motherfuckers get crazy. That is crazy, get paid in
all the little movement and shots around. It's money changing hands.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Yeah, thats crazy.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
They can't manage it. So now other these motherfuckers making
so much under.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
The table, it's crazy.

Speaker 6 (37:09):
Yeah, don't nobody know what college sports is going there.
It's just all over the place. We we just don't know.
It's all over the place.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
But the thing is, like I mentioned earlier, it is
but it's but it's it's hurting the game though. I'm
just gonna hurt the game because I said, we're teaching
the kids some I mean, we're teaching the kids to
just run as soon as soon as something go wrong.
You know, something that practice I want to report. You know,
come on, bet a man with light situations, because that

(37:40):
ain't teaching that, teach him a bad example, just to run.
So as soon as soon as one thing happened to you,
that's a bush anything, and that's gonna hurt you got.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Leave, I believe five years from now, like Martin said,
is if you're gonna have to get with us or
get ran over. So you to join us and get
some of this TV money or you or you fade
off into oblivion.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
You don't you don't know. You're not a part of it.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
As far as the n L side and the and
the money with the kids, they gotta change something, man,
they gotta change where like you say, Martin, they can
only transfer once or they gotta you know, they got
they gotta figure out a way to keep these guys
here more than one year, because you know, we we
all we hurt, we suffering from this. You know we're
not we're not getting the same the same continuity and

(38:28):
games and powerhouses and you know and stuff that we
used to see in too.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
So like as well as the thing I think that
you lose out is the rivalries. Like they killed a
lot of rivalries, which is which is fucking shameful.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
But they don't get Joe.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Joe Joe Joe alumni that that's sitting seats, and they
wanted the alumni as as a booster. That's given money
they'll give fuck so all of the changes, all of
it goes towards money. And it's the is truly what
America is is the epitome of America where I have
a little society is to have and have nots.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
If you ain't got it, they're.

Speaker 7 (39:03):
Fuck you crazy day.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
Yeah that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
You don't want to play with the big commerge you
get all money to fuck you go over there and
play a little.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
Time to get a little much come down to So, yeah,
how I feel about the h the college playoffs this year,
how we feel? Yeah, as of one, are the twelve
teams now?

Speaker 3 (39:25):
Right? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (39:26):
Well I did like the twelve team twelve team because
because now the one thing that the twelve team do
is it makes it to where teams can play tough
games early season and ain't gonna be tough games that
was doing the season because now when there were twelve teams,
you can have one or two losses, you know what

(39:46):
I'm saying in the tournament, when before it was just
four teams, didn'ybody want to play nobody because they were
scared to get that loss, and no scared not made
the playoffs. So I actually liked them open up the
twelve teams as.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Well as it listens teams that normally wouldn't be invited
or it was always where you got ranked at the
beginning of the season. They kind of dictated where you fail,
and if you wouldn't rated high enough, you never had
a chance to land into the Twarding Fayloff, I mean
the fourteen playoff when it's fourteens something. By going to twelve,
I think they've they've helped to remedy some of that.

(40:20):
I think it's probably you can do a couple more.
I think you probably go to sixteen.

Speaker 5 (40:23):
I think six.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Probably the ultimate level is what I would say. I
would say it's probably sixteen. It's probably the right number.
But I think with that, I think I think it's
added benefit like that because there used to be teams
that would that would have you know, perfect seasons, you know.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
And they would oh they're mid major or they not.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
They don't deserve it because you know, they come up
with some bullshy to keep them out.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
And now those teams get a chance to play, you know,
and that's that's really nice.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
I think that's added a good benefit to it. But
you know, it remains to be seen. We'll see where
this is.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
One.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
One thing for sure, it's going to be the wild
wild West over the course the next couple of years,
and we'll come back.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
We'll keep a pulse on it, and you know, maybe
in a year or two years.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
We'll come back and we'll throw this back on the
agenda and we'll talk about it. But from now, we
beat it up enough time for us to close out.
And we always do that one way hit him treaty.
