But at college, that still existed, right?

It was a neat thing to see.

It was neat to think about how maybe football on the West Coast and football in the Southeast and football in the Midwest is sort of fundamentally different.

And that the kind of players you see are kind of fundamentally different.

That even though recruiting is national, most teams kind of recruited regionally.

I mean, that's going to be completely over now.

Like you say, this relegation thing.

So let's say we did that.

We have 24 teams and the bottom eight teams get relegated.

A kid is still going to basically be, at this point, be sort of persuaded to go to one school over another, not because of whether or not they might get relegated, whether or not they're at the top.

It's like, what check is bigger?

I mean, well, like that's, that's what this guy in Indiana, that's just, he's brilliant for a lot of reasons.

But the reason that gets to good coach is because he's the best at evaluating talent and finding bargains.

But even that's kind of, so let's say he was, let's say he had, let's say Belichick was the best evaluator of talent or whatever.

Um, it's still like, do we have the money in our coffers to pay for these guys?

Like, you know, that's what it really kind of comes down to.

Um,

It's a weird way.

It's like, some people are listening to this conversation and they're like, they're like, you don't, you want these kids to be the equivalent of like indentured servants.

You don't want them to, it's like, it's a weird argument to make.
