Well, I'm kind of under the impression that some of these deals are sort of umbrellas for the entire squad, that everyone's getting something. Because that would also, you know, that would, if they didn't, that could cause like real inner squad dissension. Like it would be a real problem. You know, it's like, it'd be one thing if one guy's getting paid more than another.

It'd be another thing if one guy's getting paid a lot and someone else isn't getting paid anything. You know, I mean, I gotta believe.

Sure, sure.

Sure, sure.

Well, but it's one thing if the money is coming from NIL stuff, like you're in a commercial for like the local sandwich shop or whatever. I think it's another thing when these guys are just sort of like, you know, you see this now that boosters get letters and they're like, we need linebackers. They're like, we need, you know, what are you going to fucking do for us? We need to do this, you know?

I think I've said this probably on your podcast before. I've said it many times. I mean, to me, I have a sense of, of where this is going. I'll probably be wrong, but I have a sense of it. It seems to me like we're probably five years away from Die SEC und die Big Ten und vielleicht eine andere Konferenz, die sich von der NCAA entfernt hat.

Nur mit dem Ende dieser Beziehung, die sich alles selbst umsetzen. Und dann, wenn du für Old Miss spielst, kannst du da in der Schule gehen, wenn du willst, aber v.a. du repräsentierst Old Miss. Du spielst für das Team, du bist auf diesem Roster, du trägst diese Farben. Ja, genau. It's really just the uniform. That's all you're really cared about. That's who you're rooting for.

And it doesn't matter if there's absolutely no relationship to college at all. I don't know if over time this will be a pretty significant detriment. Because right now nobody cares because we're just kind of psychologically shifting everything. It's just like, okay, well, we're not going to really think about the relationship these guys have to college. But if Ja, genau.

then it will basically mean a lot of the things I thought about college football were fucking wrong. My whole perception, even what I have told myself, what I like about it, might be wrong. Because all these things I've been talking about They certainly don't inform my experience of watching the games. I do not think this when I'm watching it. I only think this when I'm talking about it.
