But he's been given an opportunity to do something. And it's interesting because, you know, I cover college baseball, too. And obviously, we're in the middle of the baseball postseason now. We're starting to crank it up. And... I remember going down to LSU when they put together their first real giant NIL class, the one that won the College World Series that year.

And I'm talking to the kid that was the winning pitcher in the championship game, the game that won the championship. He came from UCLA. And when I talked to them, Skeens did not want to leave Air Force. He loved that place. But he said to me, he said, you ever been to a game there? I'm like, yeah. He goes, how many people were at the game? I'm like, 40 people.

And, you know, when I talk to the kids from UCLA, they would play, you know, UCLA's really good at baseball. And when they would play at Jackie Robinson Ballpark on a Friday night against Stanford in a top 15 game, and there'd be 800 people there, and they'd go back to their apartment, and they'd see the highlight of the South Carolina-Kentucky game, and there's 9,000 people there.

and they're like, the NIL money's fine, but that's why I came here. That's what you want, yeah. Right, to me it's opportunity, but then there's the flip side of that, which is, all right, now if you're the guy, that's not getting to play now because the guy from UCLA and the guy from Air Force and all that came. Well, now you're exactly right.

I can go to Kentucky and turn them into a College World Series team, or I can go to a Dallas Baptist and still be a top-ten draft pick. So I think you're right. I think that we're seeing a giant market adjustment, and I think when the contracts come, because they're coming, all this is going to hopefully level out a little bit.
