We're going to start training you.
We're going to get you to these camps and clinics.
OTAs, you know, get you to practices, get you to, you know, get on the field with these NFL players.
It's a heavy, heavy lift.
You can't go, in my opinion, you cannot go from D3 to the NFL and make that transition.
It's just impossible.
The game's too fast.
There's too much going on from a production standpoint, the television aspect of it.
You're not dealing with...
you know, primetime broadcast in D3 where you are in the NFL.
So it's a heavy lift.
We saw what happened in 2012.
They're in the process of trying to identify these officials.
One of the things that the top college officials will probably say no because they don't want to be seen as kind of, for lack of a better phrase, crossing a picket line, right?
Because it's kind of this officiating community.
So it's going to be interesting if they don't get a deal done, what level of official do we get?
and what does it do to the game and the product and everything else that goes into it.
It's going to be interesting.
No question.
There's no question.
