mean, you have some players who get paid more in college than they would if they went to the pros, which is crazy.
38:01
And I think the colleges here are trying to figure that out right now.
38:08
There's a lot of just confusion about what you can do, what you can't, and how to navigate that.
38:14
And I think that that's also changed kind of some of the loyalties that people have to their colleges here.

know money talks where i i feel as before that you know if you know i i'm from albuquerque i'm a university in new mexico even though i don't go there i'm a lobo but if if nmsu which is our rival if they were going to pay me a couple million i'm an aggie you know what i mean like it's it's just how it is and i think that it's hard in the uk uh to maybe match that because sport is more prevalent anyway there.
38:51
I always say that it's easier just because the UK is smaller.

Have you been hearing kind of inklings of a desire for that in the UK space at all? Or is that considered maybe diluting the integrity of the sport at all?
