That's true. There's a rhythm to the sports calendar all year. We kind of know what's supposed to happen every year. And then when you mess that up, that's an interesting point.
I'm going to give you a few arguments that I make on my show about college sports and see if you agree or disagree. So one was the one I just made. The second one is there was this worry with the portal. Oh no, parity's going to go away. A few teams are going to load up. And I actually kind of bought that, but I actually now think the opposite is happening, at least in football.

Basketball's slightly different. But in football... Dudes don't want to stay and be second team at Georgia and Alabama. They'd rather go to Kentucky and South Carolina and start. And it's actually made it to, especially as the season goes on where injuries come into play, it has actually added some parity. Do you agree with that?

Yeah, I do too. I think the contracts will be an interesting adjustment to it. But I would look at all these sports and say, isn't it good for football that the Indiana game mattered last year, whereas it would not have mattered? The playoff made me care about games that I didn't care about before. I go to basketball, and when the tournament starts, now St. John's matters again.

And that hasn't happened in a long time. And then you go to baseball, and Kentucky had never made the College World Series, year. I think it just makes more people be interested in the sport, right?

I mean, I watched Boise State play Nevada in that last game because I wanted to see if they would make the playoff. And, you know, Kentucky was bad last year, but I went in. There's a video I get mocked about a lot on the line. But I started the season and I go, you know, there's a path for Kentucky to go to the playoff. Go 9-3. These are the games they could win.

I would have never had that conversation before. It's nice just to have that possibility out there.
