But Barry, it's like impossible to play that game, right? Because you have to schedule these things out like years in advance and you have no idea what the committee is going to think three years from now. And also like the strength of schedule arguably is why Miami didn't really have a shot.

I mean, they didn't play for a conference championship, but you still had a three loss Alabama just because of the conference they were in over in Miami who didn't have as many losses. So like scheduling gimmies is good for like SEC teams and big 10 teams at the moment.

It's funny because we've had Mike Lombardi on a number of times, and it was promote books and, you know, whatever projects he was working on at the time. He had a show at VSYN. He did some stuff with DraftKings. And you would always say, you know... Billy, this is how you do this. You get Lombardi, and then when he takes over an NFL team, you have that relationship.
