00:00all right it's a friday no lions so we get time to really dig in on these two bum ass
00:06teams in
00:06this state but also the news of the day crumple jeremy crumpling yeah there you go it'd be a
00:11little louder on your way out of the studio there spank go ahead slam the door on your way out
00:15too
00:15you can't trust a man who does an unmanicured backyard oh god yeah me otto is a political
00:22ad jeremy otto is racist okay let's let's center on this so it's a day later we spent a lot
00:31he was i
00:32was he really did deliver on slamming the door i'll tell you otto is three for three so we had
00:37the news
00:37yesterday the expanded college football playoff um almost exclusively people hate it but a day later
00:44i think there's there's more meat on the bone and it's not the the initial rage of it it is
00:49what
00:50happens next now i i don't think the average fan thinks this way so i think it's a interesting way
00:57to just start the show and and see if we can have a conversation about it what if i told
01:03you if you
01:04could queue up the espn 30 for 30 what if i told you that the expansion of the playoff to
01:1424 teams
01:15was actually the first step in the complete dissolution of the big 10 conference and sec
01:21conference in totality we've talked about for a while it's gonna end up in a super conference deal
01:30that super conference you could call it blue magic you could call it whatever you like it's not the big
01:3610 it's not the sec but then call it big football you can do whatever you like dan wetzel wrote
01:43something
01:44and it was right in line with where i'm i'm thinking and i said okay let let's try this this
01:49might be too complex i'll just read you something brief college athletics is terrible at seeing
01:55problems around the corner the 2014 playoff is the latest example and a lot of schools who supported
02:01this will regret it because in the end it won't be about the playoff or even the now diminished regular
02:07season and you go what do you mean the 2014 playoff wouldn't be about the playoff
02:13example notre dame has the best situation in all of football 100 guarantee to make it
02:20freedom to schedule as it wishes maximization of its own media value and then dan goes right where
02:28i was thinking the big 10 why wouldn't ohio state and michigan leave if you can be independent that's
02:35the future the 18 team big 10 is bloated distant and winning it carries little intrinsic or competitive
02:43value those schools like osu and michigan could create a scheduling agreement that would increase
02:51their revenue 3x and give the same control over everything no sharing money no forced tv times big
03:0110 saturday night no forced that and eight or even nine home games every single year select your own
03:10schedule if you stay in the big 10 now what economic sense does it make so i give you the
03:15example
03:15let's say ohio state and michigan separately but together broker to deal with amazon prime
03:23you have to pay to watch michigan and ohio state football right now if michigan makes 20 million
03:29dollars a year from the big 10 i have bad news for you a single nfl game goes for 150
03:35million on these
03:36streaming platforms a season of michigan and ohio state if that's 150 million both michigan and osu no
03:46sharing just with each other 75 million 75 million 20 million 75 million 20 million see this is this is
03:56the interesting part and the schools that supported this thinking well it gives us a window to get in
04:03it's not even about if we don't have a conference championship anymore what is winning the conference
04:08rico so how do you determine who won the conference if three teams finish undefeated because they don't
04:14play each other why don't we just admit none of that matters it's about the money and only the money
04:20so let me get this straight sure to kind of clarify what you and and and uh what's all we're
04:26saying yeah
04:27so not together but to make it michigan strikes a deal with amazon ohio strikes ohio state strikes a
04:35deal with netflix sure whatever you want and you just become notre dame correct how notre dame is
04:41with nbc and peacock correct because the 2014 playoff the thing that kept you in the big 10
04:47no longer does being in the big 10 in a in a 14 playoff carried weight i win big 10
04:53i get in
04:53then we did the rights deals and you go whiz bang pow being in the big 10 i get 21
04:59million but who are
05:00we kidding this latest rights deal michigan osu these schools wanted a bigger share well how do you
05:06get your bigger share you don't need to do what texas used to do in the big 12 we'll stay
05:11in the
05:12big 12 we'll still share but we're going to kind of do a longhorn network thing no you leave because
05:19now you're not going to tell me i have to play at oregon at eight o'clock at night i'm
05:24going to get
05:25in regardless i don't need you you need me no more yeah big 10 friday night no not uh not
05:33doing it
05:33michigan already said they're not going to do it right i'm going to play every game at noon i'm
05:37going to play when we want to play and if you want to watch it you and i guess the
05:42only drawback is you
05:43no longer get the big 10 check but because you're a brand name they don't like to say blue magic
05:49you could do whatever you want and yeah with all the different streaming services
05:53just you triple your money this is actually a very smart idea i mean it's going to destroy college
05:59football let me just get that out oh yeah that's not my problem but the winners will be the first
06:05ones to strike the deal before the market gets saturated and then you end up striking a deal with
06:11the wb but what it does you'll get a couple of these schools splintering off and that will expedite
06:17the creation of a super league where at that point it won't be about sharing money because the money
06:23will be so big you won't care all i'm making a point on is if michigan can make 40 million
06:3050 million
06:30a year versus 20 it's a no-brainer there's no value in this conference you don't need the auto bid
06:37you don't need rivalries that have been destroyed it's 18 teams and you don't care about playing by
06:43their rules michigan already does not want to weird crossovers going all the way out to the west coast
06:49nope you dictate your own scheduling play nine home games increase your home gate so i'm asking
06:53the question to you guys like have you thought about what comes next and while we did spend 10
06:59years with a 14 playoff we spent two with a 12 team playoff and we're immediately going to 24
07:06do you really think this is where it stops the answer is no and it's one thing to say what
07:11a super
07:11league would look like but in the here and now if i am one of these brands i'm looking at
07:17notre
07:17dame and i'm going you got to be kidding me notre dame scheduled nobody this season now i do my
07:23my
07:23only question is this and it's hypothetical mike i don't expect you to know the answer to what but
07:29if they break apart can the big 10 come after them legally saying you can't leave the conference
07:34well there's always going to be a time limit but but the biggest thing is you stroke a check
07:38i mean florida state could leave the acc tomorrow but they've got to write a check they don't have the
07:42money for i'm just making a point to you it's not today or tomorrow but in the near future this
07:49is the next step because the money is the only thing that matters no one was in that room willing
07:55to stand up for fans and stand up for the sport and no one look the schools could have put
08:00a stop to
08:00this the schools could have said we will not participate in a 2014 playoff they could have told
08:06tony patiti you're not doing this you work at the behest of us they did not so if i'm sitting
08:12there
08:13and the cost of a roster is going up up in a way and the cost of doing bit david
08:18you look like you're
08:18ready to throw up at this conversation i feel terrible i'm making a point can you imagine a world
08:24now big 10 ain't big 10 no more michigan just goes their own way makes their own schedule signs a
08:32exclusive streaming deal and they'll still make the playoff every year there there's no world they
08:39don't now circle back what does being in the big 10 offer michigan or ohio state what does it offer
08:47do they need the auto bid they do not is the revenue greater it is not well rivalry they're all
08:54dead
08:54and michigan can still schedule ohio state anytime they want so tell me a positive of staying look dan
09:01wetzel wrote it it really vibed with how i've been thinking about it ever since we got off the air
09:06last night and i go super league there's going to be chaos before actual stability here's the chaos
09:13the absolute detonation of the big 10 in the sec 248-539-9797 you tell me where you're at with
09:21it
09:21guys a day later now that you know it's coming 24 teams and i know you hate it you're going
09:28to hate
09:28what comes next even more that's my point what you're smiling over there what's your issue i can
09:33give that to you oh what is it is it something to do with this yeah oh geez no no
09:39no no i did this
09:40just blow up my entire setup actually mike i just threw a couple logs on that fire oh boy oh
09:46boy all
09:47right we'll get to it i'm looking at what happens if you try to leave okay we'll get to it
09:52next and now
09:53i'm excited 97 one
