News this morning that Steph Curry is going to be the assistant GM at Davidson. I mean, all he has to do is cut one check and his job is over. So it's a great life lesson, really, for college. Teachers and parents and all of us and business leaders, especially, that you cannot be stuck in past thinking. You cannot think about, well, this is the way we've always done it.

It's like that old Wayne Gretzky saying, you know, what made Gretzky great isn't that he skated to the puck. He skated to where the puck was going. The ACC skated to where the puck used to be. And now they're paying the price. They have a lot of catching up to do.

It's where we are, man. I mean, it's just the reality. And it's funny, you mentioned about Miami having fallen on hard times. But when they made the Final Four, they had their own version of Steph Curry named John Ruiz. I think he's a Miami grad, but he's a Miami booster and a billionaire guy. And he gave them a lot of money to buy players that helped them get to the Final Four.

And then he and his business fell on hard times. There was a SEC investigation and all kinds. And so he's not He's not paying the piper anymore. And look what happened in Miami.

So but the real coming change, Dan, is is the is a genuine revenue sharing model where beginning in July, assuming this case settlement gets approved, which looks like the judge is going to do, every school now can spend up to they're not required. up to $20 million to give to their athletes.

Now, they can spend that however they want, and it's going to be fascinating to see how that all breaks down. Because if you're at a place like Auburn right now, which is one of the top teams in college basketball, Alabama certainly, obviously the first dollars out the door are going to football. And so how much really is left for men's basketball?

And then you have all the other women's sports and this big question of how Title IX is going to play into it. So there's a lot more unknown than known. But the only thing we know is that players are going to have money in their pockets.

And if you don't have money to put in your players' pockets at a competitive rate, whether it's directly through revenue sharing or through the Steph Currys and James Hardens of the world or other NIL arrangements, there's not as much money out there as maybe some people think. But this is the new paradigm.

And if you're in the business of college sports, you better be adjusting to what's happening and what's going to happen as opposed to the way things used to be.

Well, Jessica, let me put it this way. There's a better chance that I will play next season for Duke than Cooper Flagg.
