And they came together and created Major League Baseball.
But if the baseball teams were individually owned now, the American League East, the TV rights would be worth more than the National League Central.
And so essentially what Larry Benz is saying is the SEC is the AL East.
And we are the American League Central, but we need to come together to be the American League.
And, you know, the Yankees and the Dodgers, which would be like the SEC and the Big Ten, are like, no.
Why would we want to do that?
And so that's really the debate.
The thing I didn't like about Louisville's argument was, they were like, we made $155 million, we spent $167 million.
We're not going to be able to save college sports.
It feels like a counter is just spend $155 million.
No one made you spend the extra $12 million.
You chose to do it.
So while I'm not saying that it's ridiculous, you didn't have to spend it, right?
So now they're going to go to Congress, and Congress is ultimately going to decide.
But what's interesting is, all right, let's say you're a senator from Kentucky.
Let's say you're Ray and Paul.
Kentucky's over here going, no.
Louisville's over here going, yes.
Well, what do you do?
Let's say you're a senator from Washington.
