I went to Cornell University and studied industrial labor relations. That's a pretty typical college and major for an NFL prospect, yes? Yeah, it's not the normal pipeline to the pros. And I think leading into my election, it probably helped substantially because there's not many Cornell ILR grads walking around the NFL.

And I was kind of looking for some new projects to do. So I had a ton of time on my hands. And it was like, I'm going to take a stab at this.

Yeah, I was shocked at the response rate. Describe how many players got the survey and how many responded. So we have 2,200 active players and we had 1,300 fill out the survey, which is about 60%. As we saw the numbers start pouring in, it was like, oh man, we have to do something here. It's going to be like report cards.

You had to ask somewhat qualitative, but also quantitative questions to try to figure out how to compare these franchises. Give an example or two. You know, rate your locker room one to five, but then also what would you change about your locker room? What's missing in your locker room?

I mean, I would never have thought to ask, are there rats in your locker room? Are there physical rats in your locker room? And yet that comes out in the survey because there were. In Jacksonville, we should say. Not everywhere. Right. You have to allow the players to fill you in with what's bothering them.

Like there's one team that doesn't have outlets in their lockers where they can't charge their devices. Okay. Who is that? Cincinnati. Okay. The survey was conducted online with guaranteed anonymity. In our business, you're so on razor's edge of being cut and losing your job.

The idea that these owners actually think players can walk into their office and tell them, like, hey, I think you're being cheap and you're not spending enough money on us, and there wouldn't be any retribution— is a little crazy to me.
