To Billy's point, the way this came about was kind of out of nowhere. Like, Bill Belichick's not going to college. Hey, Bill Belichick might go to college. Oh, my God, Bill Belichick's going to college. If this was more well-known, if Bill Belichick was like, I want to go coach in college, how many other of these college teams do you think would have been like, you know what?
