why wouldn't we want more eyeballs on it?

Right.

It's so archaic to me.

And, and I think when Butchie came on your guy's show and he talked about opportunities to break away from the NCAA, like I think one of the reasons he's thinking about and talking about that is because he's thinking like bigger media deals, like the hardest part,

is that they make rules for the NCAA, but, boys, like, our sport is so different than all the other sports.

Like, when you make a blanketed rule and then it affects hockey and hockey people aren't really even that a part of the decision, like, that's where I think... Can you provide one example that's, like, infuriating that they do for all sports and that doesn't really work with hockey?

They're voting on a new rule in the next week about your eligibility clock starting at 18.

And it starts at 18, you get five years no matter what.

But we both know hockey players play junior hockey, a lot of them, until they're 20.

Well, and I also think, listen, you can't, the USHL, like, you watch the Frozen Four, and you look, it's overwhelmingly dominated by USHL players.

I mean, the CHL guys have been a great addition, but you still look at the numbers, like, you know, it's still 16 guys on every team are from the USHL.

I think the top end teams, but I don't know if... Yeah, I don't agree.

I don't think that that's true anymore.

I was told the other day that there actually could be some legislation being put in that would reward NCAA teams from taking prospects from American places.

So, for example, if a kid's from Chechya and wants to come over and play for UMass, he's ideally going to have to play in the USHL for a year or two first.

They should just combine the USHL and the CHL.

They should.

That would be make one junior league and get rid of all this animosity and all this.

Listen, you still have a biz.

Look, that's a debate that we're not going to know until we see some teams play each other.
