My own watch we we just basically just discussed my own watch here. We go my own watch is the NCAA Turner The men's is my choice I would never do that this is the NCAA tournament and for some of the reasons that we already name It's really the NIL is is a big part of it Can you write and when you what you say it is not being paid attention to in a big reason is we don't have that Cinderella story this Year that we've had in years past because of the NIL and the transfer portal already this season Isn't 700 people that's entered into the transfer for 700 and we end up in the midst of the tournament So that's crazy and what you're seeing now is similar to the women's tournament where those lower seat of teams where we had the Vauperazos and the st. Francis and all these teams that stood a chance They don't stand a chance anymore at getting past the first round used to have 16 I mean 15 be the two you have a 14 be the three there's no chance of that anymore So right now when you look at the bracket, you know, you got one versus five two and three So you got all your main seats still available and there's no Cinderella team. There's nothing to hang your hat on There's no stories to it anymore and without that that takes away the casual fan from basketball So that's why they're on watch and they got to figure out some of this and I mean He's losing transfer in the middle of the in the middle of the game They put their names in the portal a Michigan player the other day and they still in They they put him in there and it's in its affecting basketball tremendously the coach from Norfolk State He put out a quote saying we just a bet basically we'll glorify a Jew coat We hear just to set it up in the best place for fun They're going on to the next school because they can't afford to pay them You got one school I think it's saying Francis is dropping this year from division one to division three because they can't compete So they got to figure out a way to make it with a balance of power It's kind of even for the has and have not so you can kind of keep some of your players there And now it's not Republican at all.
I went to HBCU So I want to keep my players at my school where they belong to be not just taking away because they can't afford to keep That's why it's not gonna happen we're seeing in a college football We're seeing in a college basketball now the has it have not the bigger programs are gonna get the best players are gonna get the best talent And so they regulate it and even if they regulate it like what are they gonna do put Tyler caps like you know Like this is the why why what's they're not gonna be able to fix it no time soon and these big colleges We're starting to see even a football right like a shift in power to the big ten It's no longer the SEC the best ones why because the big tens have bigger Boosters than the SEC schools do because they've had longer money for a longer amount of time You know so you look at the history of the Michigan's Ohio State's teams like that look even order day No, the day was in the national championship this year. You know what I'm saying so now we were shot at I feel you We're not gonna get those to the real stories We're not gonna get those small schools that are able to compete because of one player or a ski or a culture Something like that. We're just not the money is going to go to the best players and those teams are gonna be successful Before the end I dealing all the money That's not that's not being paid if it was back to the way it was Would a player like Cooper flag have picked Norfolk State to go play basketball? It's not him though Ken what it is what it's saying is those schools the way they recruit and the way they they train their players If they get four your players they get players is gonna get their good education these guys are gonna perform at a level and they're mature That's how you get these teams to win a game They played together four years you got the same group of people that came in together and they grow in in the game together So therefore skilled at time that some of these younger guys like you look at a team like you know Kentucky for example These guys are the one that they in and they're out That's how I was when Cal Perry was there you look at the guys like a Norfolk State and he will be able to bring these guys along And by the junior senior year their season enough to compete So that was that's what's missing in the game not what these guys make their money trust me I want everybody get their money, but it's different because I went to a PC I know the value of a PC you and if I can't afford to pay this guy to stay here It's not it's not a level playing field So they're gonna have to step figure out a way to change these these brackets or control the transfer You can transfer it just should be like some type of way that they can demand it Go ahead I was gonna say half figure out this white time on 96 teams other than money They won't give those smaller teams a chance to get into the tournament have the opportunity to win because they know In our is going to affect the top 64 68 rosters that that's going to happen like the 68 schools that can play players to Come to that school and there's probably a good 17 18 teams that can pay the best players to come You probably always have them so the thought process is in addition to us making more money We're doing it with 96 schools like they're talking about doing now you have these one-off chances like we used to have with 64 teams where a Cinderella team could advance and win because like you said she'll make been together for four years They have been in leadership.
So you're going to get that once they expand the tournament I don't think it's a thing about NIL that has to do with that It's just expanding the opportunity for those lower ranked teams and they're going to do it at once they put it to 96 This is a free capitalistic market, bro The market dictates with the market dictates You know I'm saying these kids ain't been getting paid for generations and we trying to limit them based off of competition We know who gonna be in the final four league it ain't gonna be no for it I don't really want to see I didn't really want to see I didn't think people really don't want to see some other stories When they just want to see them mess up a bracket so they can win on they in on a betting shit I don't want to see them I just agree on what I'm saying. I just agree on what I'm saying The relatives in the final four You want to see this is a TV show at the end of the day I don't want to see George Mason in the final four they do But you gotta think about the casual fan basketball fans on watching just like with the women's game I said that too basketball fans are gonna watch anyway But you got a casual fan that's right on the story and these people pick it up and they will come along and they will watch Just think and they'll get on that train that way the t-shirt they don't even believe in sports But they believe it's in the real and they'll follow that team. What's the lady's name? My name is just a june or something like that.
Yeah, it's a crisis in St. Mary's a couple years ago That's everybody was rooting for saying everybody's room for St. Mary's and not the basketball fans But I'm talking about people who don't even care about basketball was watching it and watching her these people watching it Neezy and the trainer got an IEL deal because he's so popular people like to send a relative They like the fact that it needs you knock off whoever they knock off But you didn't get enough of that which means you're gonna lose your casual fans your casual fans now basketball peers like like us We want to see basketball play we didn't see that now the problem is At the end of this and these dudes go transfer anyway, they're gonna move on and get somebody somewhere else It's just the reality of the other situation is whoever got the most money and it's not your best Not your best situation. It is just whoever got the most money.
That's where I want to go So I kind of affects the game and that aspect now with I'm with the boys They might always said they generate the most money they should get the most money now What you're talking about limited transfers and all that shit? Well, and I think that and I think and we'll move to this topic is what Nick said is early on when we had the Discussion about it is that it's gambling, bro That those are the people that are watching now. They don't care about anything else They got their little brackets up. They in the prediction markets.
They're doing all this They're the ones watching the game not for interest but for their parlays and shit like that So, you know, I think that's what we're saying I think that's another reason why they might be moving to 96 outside of that nobody gives it
