Ali PeekHOST
Yeah.
Danny D MoneyHOST
It's the same thing though with like, you know, cheating back, back in the, in the Saban era, the Mark Emmert era, or you know, now like following the NIL cap which theoretically is in place.
Danny D MoneyHOST
Like it's an arms race, so when someone else is doing something, you do things that you don't wanna do or you say you don't wanna do.
Danny D MoneyHOST
So-
Joe GiglioHOST
It's part of a larger pattern where they make decisions at a public university and they don't think they're accountable for those decisions.
Joe GiglioHOST
This goes back to Randy Woodson's vote for Mark Emmert.
Joe GiglioHOST
He made a public vote as a member of the NCAA Board of Governors and never explained it.
Joe GiglioHOST
Not once.
Eamonn BrennanHOST
I mean, I've -- How long have, have I been, you know...
Eamonn BrennanHOST
I think I was at ESPN the first time I covered, uh, you know, one of these hearing, probably 2012 or 2013 or 2014 when Mark Emmert was dragged to D- You know, not dragged.
Eamonn BrennanHOST
I think he, he probably was happy for the opportunity to, to come and, and try to sell the pitch on, on legislation.
Eamonn BrennanHOST
But they, the NCAA in its various guises, long before this current transfer portal situation, has essentially been begging Congress to, to do something, and this is the result.
Mike DecourcyGUEST
Those are the decisions that have been made at the NCAA level.
Mike DecourcyGUEST
That was under a prior president, Mark Emmert.
Mike DecourcyGUEST
But that change from Emmert to Baker has not been as profound as we could have hoped in terms of leadership.
Mike DecourcyGUEST
I always argue with people.
Matt NorlanderHOST
For those who voted yes, and it was more yes than no, but close to 50-50 overall, Um, one coach, uh, who voted for, yes, said making this rule, announcing it before the start of classes is maybe the dumbest move of all time.
Matt NorlanderHOST
Maybe as dumb as Mark Emmert saying paying players will never happen.
Matt NorlanderHOST
Another coach said, I wish it was done either last October and was first being discussed or in the spring, uh, However, all of us think our world is the most important, and it's not.
Matt NorlanderHOST
If the rule officially changed any other time, football would be 100% more chaotic with lawsuits than what basketball is seeing currently.
Channing CrowderHOST
Yeah, it's silly.
Channing CrowderHOST
But actually, we had Charlie Baker on, the NCAA president that took over for Mark Emmert.
Channing CrowderHOST
He's on YouTube still.
Channing CrowderHOST
The last show we did on Pivot was on YouTube with Charlie Baker.
Paul FinebaumGUEST
Uh, the, the, I, I mean, to me, this train left the station a long time ago.
Paul FinebaumGUEST
Uh, the arrogance of the NCAA, and, and the presidents, and the people that, that select the head of the NCAA i- in the, in the 2010, '11, '12, fif- thir- 13, that range, they, they could have done something back then when Mark Emmert was the pre- And they could have, I mean, they could have gotten away with giving players $100, uh, and a free Big Mac.
Paul FinebaumGUEST
But they were, they were so belligerent, they were not going to budge.
Paul FinebaumGUEST
A- and now, a- and by the time the train had pulled out, it was too late.
