Then the gap was between Florida and Alabama and Troy and South Florida.

Now I think the gap is between Florida and Alabama and Mississippi State and Purdue.

And at some point, the major powers here are going to look and wonder why those losers are still around.

And at that point, you start talking about a breakaway where it is the top 30, 40 schools that are like-minded and want to do things their own way.

We don't like their stupid rules.

We're going to legislate ourselves.

And it's not going to be perfect, but it will be more like-minded institutions than what happens now.

And I think when that happens – I don't think it's an if.

I think it's a when that happens.

People are going to look around and be very upset because the idea of Appalachian State beating Michigan in 2007, when that possibility doesn't exist anymore, College Sports loses a very key part of who it is, and that's a slippery slope we don't want to go down.

Yeah, that's certainly, that's certainly, uh, one of the many possibilities here.

Um,

Vanderbilt example is a good one.

Miami is another one that comes to mind.

Now, Miami has obviously had a lot more historical success than Vanderbilt, but a similar situation where Miami decides in the last five years or so, we're going to be really serious about college football and the way that they're putting money into it in a way that Florida State, for instance, maybe not to that degree.

There's different rules of public and private.

So I don't want to get in the weeds here, but you can definitely see scenarios where

Certain schools are investing more, Texas Tech being another example, and they're able to kind of level up and improve their lot in life here.

I hope the system continues to allow for that.

I really do, because I think the sport as a whole is better.
