And the college football, we have these first round games on campus where Landis, you were in a snowstorm.
two seasons ago at Notre Dame for Indiana, Notre Dame, right?
Like I was at that SMU Penn state game and like, that felt like the snow mattered, but then we get away from that.
And I actually think, I know some people think the campus games should continue longer in college football.
I actually think having watched that in the NFL, we might be at a really good spot in college football where we get a dose of that and
where especially where the geography matters north and south, make Alabama or Georgia or Ole Miss come north to play in the snow, which they never would down there.
And we do that for a round.
But then when it's like go time, we're putting teams in situations to put their best foot forward, whether that's in a dome, whether it's in warm weather in the Rose Bowl, that kind of thing.
And I just thought to myself, like, oh, like that wouldn't have happened.
At a Final Four level, that would not have happened in college football to play in a snowstorm, right?
And so that's a fact.
Now you can decide whether you think that's good or bad.
I think it's good because there still might be a snowstorm in a playoff game in college football in the first round.
But then when we really get to the very best teams, you're not going to have that.
Go college football.
Let's finish with a go college.
Probably not because you earn that.
You earn the right to play in front of your fans and those kind of things.
So it's a tough decision.
And actually, if you're playing in December in week 14 and it's snowing, fine.
