Washington's in the Big Ten.
But Washington State can't find a conference.
So what do you do?
You know, I don't know the answer because for a lot of these states, there are two schools and they're in two dramatically different positions.
So I don't really know what's going on.
And then you have the whole Republican.
So one of the things I wrote was when you're thinking about college sports legislation, there's a lot of variables.
Republican, Democrat, big school, small school, right?
Athletes that make a lot of money versus Olympic athletes, right?
It's not easy to figure out how you put all those things together, right?
But what's the greater good?
Is the greater good that football, basketball players make the money that they're bringing into the university?
Or is the greater good that these people that make the money share the money with swimmers?
It all depends on how you define the greater good.
I think there are people who would have two completely different answers to that.
But what's interesting to me is the supporters of capitalism tend to be the biggest people in favor of the socialism in sports.
That Texas Tech guy that ran all those commercials.
Cody Campbell is an oil billionaire who donates all of his money to Republican and capitalist causes.
And he's running commercials advocating for socialism in college sports.
It's going to save his university.
