This is the gold shell filled with the storm coming in terms of years we expect hi when lots of rain all sins are on the ACC is looking at house wondering survive the storm, are they going to take action on one of these many options that he continually said are on the table or close your eyes and pray all you going on today.

I don't want to waste any time we have guests starting in like six minutes so were going out to get right away record for how fast we got out of the gate easily because that nothing really funny to say so. Usually we should have been more prepared when we got done yesterday, which was a little later than we had anticipated, but we got done yesterday. I walked out of the Westin Hotel. It was a day lose all of Chelsea and Charlotte football club yeah bed at a club friendly here last night Charlotte all the all the international teams are on tors preseason towards right so I don't I go I storm it right.

I assume they put 70,000 people at Bank of America Stadium 4C FCV CFC I heard at least 45,000 tickets were sold. They were all the street yet it was literally like it was a parade so but I thought somebody won the title but then again I'm in Charlotte and who would do that. I talked funny I should wagered on CFC over CFC should blues rolled out a lot of their first choice players. I was there I was very impressed.

I would recognize any of Charlotte's first required about try to disparage, but I am. I really felt followed them.

Although I know they got a good start to the season may be played was was the keeper Diablo Silva Reese, James Mason met Marcus Alonso writing Sterling came on Thai habits came on at half-time. George Ennio Chris of course started for Chelsea last night. He featured any scored the only goal for Chelsea nice little slotted shot right foot shot at lower left from the top of the 6 yard box that was the only goal for Chelsea home team tied it on a penalty in the 90th minute handball the box easy call and then they wouldn't penalties I did you not size withdraws in Friendly's. What is is not the ultimate unfriendly thing. It's weird doing regular-season copters we can do to a friend. I'm sorry were done to penalties.

I thought practice. You know I like in this preseason is just throw a three on three in there for five minutes. Even though the scores are all that happened last year with the cane last preseason game. James Lawson was allowed to shoot up like okay just to work on Friday. Look especially preseason. We should probably have as of the end of each. Speaking of hockey, Carolina hurricanes.

This is not the hurricanes. This is a former hurricane. Now you don't need a writer two years, $4 million per Nashville predators and if that was going to be where we ended up with me don't need a writer. I think the hurricanes would've done that on July 1 may be July 1 July 13 so I will. I think they would've done that if that was where we ended up Nido wanted a long-term deal. There was one out so I said this before I set it on Twitter about to shy away from it. I'm okay with me don't need a writer not coming for years in a hurricanes uniform 43 playoff games seven goals, 12 points. That's I can't un-see that Nino had a great year last year and his best postseason for Carolina where he had four goals and 14 that what is that trade like it's about 20 goal season targets for the postseason minute is in the regular-season, but there wasn't really impacted again by the one he had moments that I really love but again, he's not the only ones not just not about Nino need a writer but I was okay with them moving on from Nido, by the way Ethan bears arbitration date is August 8 so what three weeks away roughly 3 weeks away from seeing what Ethan bears likely to get paid. If in fact he stays here still think that there's a chance to Carolina, my trade his rights somewhere else SP's were last night and I bought an SP watcher, but two things I want you to hear very quickly we forget to our first guest and we got tons against and this is how Steph Curry got a start of the show took a little shot a friend is I am sec. NBA player to host this award show which is got a crazy thing about Lebron James he hosted the this award show back in 2007 after losing in the NBA finals. So yes you guessed it. This this was better nice stepped in a pretty good job based on everything that I've seen and read. I watched a bunch the videos last night after the SP's were over, and of course the headliner Dick Vitale gets the Jimmy V award for perseverance and Vitale is inspiring. He's been on this program a lot these incredible human being does a lot for to raise money for cancer research and here's Vitale on the game of life should should you dreams should should contribute all of you will usually or special cable life what you've done and remember to remember perseverance plus passion plus pride in the cable life is very possible we will not have Dick Vitale doing basketball games anymore than we had yet surgery underwrote his his his voice may not ever hold up again but Manhattan has he been important to the sport of college basketball.

But there's a lot to talk about. We got the guests let started off going studio in my man Coach Pete through the capital financial advisory group were talking retirement coach.

I'm a simple guy but I like the colors tell me how I can colorcode money and get ready for retirement. I like colors to true so I graphs.

I don't like just bunch words, what we try to do is we try to break down all those words on your statement. All those numbers into three colors red, green, yellow people amazingly come in and most of the money is in the red getting Hannah Montana. Red means high horsepower, potential delegates hi loss potential. You have to do. It's a give-and-take you can want to do that or that yellow means liquid money to get anytime stuck on anything green. If you safe growth but also dig a lifetime income as we get closer to retirement. We need some green accounts. We have greens only call it bad that razor was important appraisal support for you to next and people out of the thousand dollar value going to get together for you your very own total plans as a green so it's a traffic light.

I hope it's green for you 800-661-7383 or text Adam to 21000B through the football kickoff West Durham and Roddy Jones yes best play-by-play color commentary do. Oh that's that's that's on record. It's official reason I say this because I both yourself that's true so that's that's the bar that's all we gotta do to not do something that everyone will want to talk across the LL fan boy panelist analyst's lacrosse panelist cannot just let me say certain real quick.

I will tell you a story about something that happened and I have on his show since it happened but I want to share this and I will people to hear who listen to the out of gold so I want people to hear what happened in SMA awards weekend America was the Berkeley picture. Not all about showing you but I have an old phone. So Adam is the Nortel sportscaster the year for the national sports media associations really somber. Thank you very much deserved and so we in out state winners somebody and he comes across the stage and the coolest thing happened so Scott Van Pelt, another Maryland Brad is there had not seen him though that night had you IN a chance I saw this was the right nearby to what I spoke to Scott Van Pelt gets up from his table. Adam is the stage shakes my hand. Because of torture and then turns and Scott Van Pelt is there to get out of this big hug and congratulated that's all that's the coolest thing and we had a board meeting following that. Afterwards I said look, you start to remember the special moments we had enough pointed out that I was thrilled for you for the honor and then cooled it. I got to be a part of that night. That night I said that was just really come to talk to his address. My God Scott, not just house the Bentleys. Actually, I never got a Bentleys. We did was we live in the same dorm. All Ellicott Hall which was right across the street from Byrd Stadium right to write you point birthday. I watched Georgia Tech play their my when I was redshirted and hung over. Darrell Robertson will return for a total down in a tight loss. I like we may talk no football here.

Okay, so why would you go the night before so so Greenbelt Marriott is served on your 2007 check those out there and plays.

I was redshirted I traveled and so I wasn't traveling. I have no idea where I went over and was I woke up in time to see most of the first quarter. Nice was at the rendezvous as we called, who could've been the seller could have been RJ Bentleys garter and I was minute mark the day nondriving… All like I was at the you know what I thought were getting linking new was on the ground went to college point that was bold was the Bentleys I was thinking this will be a great story about a trial but you gave birth and coal so the Ellicott Hall. If you're looking from the present owner left corner is used as they were left he was coaching for the football players used to hang out when I was in school right Covington brothers Farrell Edmonds whose now had three sons. No right John Scott played out countless yes Scott Van Pelt.

Scott and I were friends, but weren't like we had Hank not like now what Scott and I knew each other's we live in the same dorm to for support to which by the way, from the eighth floor you could see into the field and see the whole field because like one side of it before he could see anything way more lacrosse games lacrosse that I went to Marilyn lacrosse. There will actually have no idea they were undefeated hello dad, what, when, when Maryland ditched their friends and went to the Big Ten. I stop Carolyn like Israelite or cash-strapped. As I seriously was I said last week on 84. We always knew you. So I want to be like Marilyn because Lefty want to be like UCLA and UCLA just like Maryland. There, the Marilyn, the West cash-strapped and looking for a home payout.

He sold Moses Malone Wikipedia UCLA games is limited to what will Guzman left the man get John Feinstein on a comment about E Giselle I I would ask you Roddy since you played in the league and on.

I know Wes's thoughts on this, but everything is about money. It doesn't matter where you are now.

So as a guide plate who bled and sweated in this league. What are your thoughts about where this league is work just for college sports is at this point it's hard because so much of what's happened to be postcollege and what comes with age and perspective happened because of where I decided to go in the opportunity to play Georgia Tech in the ACC meeting as like was in and I think some of those will still be there, but I don't want student athletes to lose the perspective they look this is I'm doing this yes to maximize my value now to to make sure that I'm setting myself up but the really for the future. Want to lose. And if we get to a professionalization maybe you do. Maybe you don't want to know I'm not I'm not an alarmist when it comes stuff, but it does make me sad that were getting away from some of the traditional stuff it's made college sports college sports what it is now I see that but also on the other side like you look at what consolidation is going to some other leaves you get matchups of people really want to see you more often. And it's good for the sport so I hope that's what were going without sacrificing some of what I just talked about the terms of this league. It's very easy to feel uneasy, but I think the the alarms are premature. Yes, the revenue perhaps gaps can continue to grow. We know that likely will. Get out. We know that so the conversation if you can have a conversation. What is a look like this league.

It's about what is and what I get 22nd two so you know see what it ultimately ends up. I think as you start to work with some of the leads are the Big Ten and the SEC basketball becomes more important because you're looking for revenue on the margins in AC basketball with the ACCs basketball product I think will help it, it's survival is maybe one of the topics leads that are not those big tears of just outside the gated community yes no gate, but it just to keep horses and that's exactly what we have. I would offer this. I think the only development that we are going to see there's 241 work and I have to see Big Ten second television partners okay if it's NBC that sparks the Notre Dame thing again. Okay, if it's CBS, ESPN anybody else I happen to think the Big Ten was going to go through the two TVs and one streamer okay but I think if it's it's NBC that's a that's white smoke for Notre Dame. If it's not in BCI that allows Notre Dame. I Notre Dame's independence is fiercely important, fiercely important to don't ever lose sight of the fact that Notre Dame's Board of Trustees is not 26 is not 38 it's not 50 people. It's 300 people. 300 people. Trustees Notre Dame and member 25 years ago they told Big Ten go pound sand, and a lot of people have forgotten right.

I think the other piece of this Notre Dame pieces important because I think it determines where the Big Ten and the ICC stop as I think the Big Ten to Notre Dame then you could see them at 1820 Big Ten ticket Notre Dame. I'm not sure there's value in explaining past 16 and we kind of got in this mindset worth the Big Ten and the SEC is made up everybody else. I don't think the SEC moves until the ACCs grant of rights is winding down. If they move at all because you get to a point of diminishing returns. We are adding schools that are not adding to the revenue that each school happens very quickly with the amount of money that we talk about throwing out now so I think some of the stuff may be premature and we may settle with a 16 team Big Ten 16 team SEC and the ACC could very easily get the 16 teams and do some creative things to try and marrow adapted to create more value for its constituents. Here's the thing that helps Atlantic Coast conference in the here and now.

Okay this is going to more than likely. No Roddy might do differently. I think we got a chance at five teams in the preseason top 25 people there five potential teams should have fun yeah I think the other sport that America can you have had this discussion for three weeks. America cares right right about Carlos Pascal. This league is going to be in overdrive almost start shipping right. I mean, even to the middle lower third of the league.

This lease shall be in overdrive. Clemson had a tough loss last week when it was announced BJ Hall will play whatever timeframe within the what everybody else you can see it right and so football now the ascent of football has to continue. We need to see Florida State they might have to beat LSU but it's got to be close. I need to see my daughter and I can go to College Station Caulfield all Saturday night warm-up.

That's a good thing by the way, I don't need missteps either.

I don't need one.

I don't be wanting green.

And at Western Michigan.

Yes, that one in Boone. I mean I will be shocked 12 noon. It's the biggest break backgrounds have a psychosis to 12 noon game and you know what I mean SI fax me the clock kit Brewer Stadium sauce case price at quarterback meaning the black Saturday look, I've been there for black Saturday when I did Marshall for 11 months and 28 days and I'm telling you 11 months I will call you, but I'm telling you you can't slip it Boone you cancel programmable look, I don't think it's good to be easy when Carolina goes to Georgia state court looks pretty good football team is as tasted success.

There also be 2000 you walk on the populace who were hankering at something as you can. Social you say we had with Westerman, Roddy Jones best play-by-play doing because I have the V we could have five teams in the top 25.

I think the preseason wears state among those five teams and can we encourage their fans by that everything is set up for them. How are you not I don't I don't care about the NC state stuff that we keep about this year. You have to make probably picking them to win the I did seven putting your ballot. Sunday I will be a Sunday got my ballot when on the train down here. I am trying look state fans. The thing that they can hang their hat on. However cynical you want to be the best defense is going to be the best defense that they borne his hat. I think not. Main points are to be three really elite defenses in this league. It's Clemson and I think they're separate than the other two lines because the defensive line line doesn't take a backseat to anybody other than Clemson like put everybody in the backseat other than Georgia and maybe Alabama because of the topics on the book with the defensive line. The linebacking core is so experienced in that defense is set up for the linebackers have success when you have those three guys at linebacker play like that would be played really well last year you got that thereto. The secondary I think is more talented than people give him credit for, particularly when when Tanner Ingalls healthy. They are different, but you can harass has really started to take off and play well and you've got the most important position on the field figured out you got the quarterback figured out so you didn't have to run the ball better. Yes, you have to place running backs in a first-round left tackle. Yeah, you got a pleasure top receiver. Yes funds at the end of the day. Got the defensive line got experience on the offense of line get the most important position figured out so I would buy that I love Tanner angle to the back and that's all you Roddy Roddy always likely doing to stay again because we get to break down what is it is a targeting plate. The field is we talk like this all the time.

Sometimes he was mis-flagged here was mis-flagged when he got brought in. He was mis-flagged and then they want to review and helped cite McEachron. I voted for preseason last year Aris. He is a great player and I got great linebackers and one for Trent Simpson to Clemson they might sweep that I think Mattel Jones. Paul Johnson should get someone who he was a threat under the collar today all wheat berries had a very nice front that I this was this was fun. Western Roddy doing talk across going ahead with the family.

What was your favorite thing about being a sideline reporter for the bailout. The speed of the game and Caitlin the size of my claim was fantastic speed of the game and like talking to those guys are all Ivy League educated rights of the fun to talk to a lot of them are option quarterbacks and make snobbery here from Roddy.

I love you little something Michael Sauers who was at Princeton and into talking to him. He's like yeah man, I so want your elementary school as an option quarterback migrated minute you are watching an element is 100. Professional knowledge is tough, the tough realization) class so far.

We gotta wrap this up because Roddy and I both have to go hug Jafar a Harvey gave us an unbelievable play Lester example as well. He had a one hand 666 against Sam. How can Roddy and I were doing the game and I still can't believe that unbelievable and he went to the end zone and be a wide receiver in a running back. You guys are trying to chase down the job and you seem to want to hear. Yes, all everybody here looks great. Jafar Harvey looks like he is also you have about another 30 were supposed quarterbacks so like we and we got most of yesterday when Armstrong second Armstrong like tolerant by so many good quarterback told Rick there is little bite nationally out of the water. I understand we have great quarterback. All I got. Third time in five years. I think this'll be the best quarterback you have a chance to win several June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen my amazing West Durham, Roddy Jones great play-by-play color commentary tandem. You'll see them or hear them all year long on the ACC networking will be everywhere will just be relegated to the ACC networking.

I mean that any disparaging way real quick before break, with Dr. Bill Hancock on the other side, executive director of the college football playoff, but I don't know the credibility of distant grain of salt, but then as you you forwarded me this something called sideline sports network no idea what they are, could be swiftly might be, but it's here it's being reported again. Grain of salt started just demonstrates where we are in this wacky college sports conference shuffling landscape being reported that Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah will apply for big 12 membership this afternoon. Now I'm not anticipating this because if that was the case that this story would've come from.

Oh no CBSSports or the athletic or ESPN or Yahoo sports somebody like that so don't anticipate this being accurate today but it's sort of like the swim swim story yeah where will you know Clemson and others are negotiations do want to leave the ACC but in the past 12 and in the big 12. Right now, since there kind of cohabitation chats broke down. Yeah those two legs. Now we might have something going on anyway just going to keep you up-to-date with what's going on when we come back.

The Executive Director of the college football playoff Bill Hancock Hancock might have the greatest job in all sports. I don't know how to rank these types of jobs. He is the executive director of the college football playoff.

Do you have the greatest job in all is for second greatest right behind you.

That is, that is not true. I'm happy to be for your neuron here almost on Mount Rushmore but not quite like I'm visiting visiting my Rushmore like you know it's funny because you and I spoke a long time ago when you were at the BCS and we were agreed with you, your stance time like what twos great value for you to go bigger.

We all know were going to go big when you think were headed.

It's hard to say first of all, good to see you. Thank you for having me on and every week talk. Then I remember this every bracket increases right every bracket literally in every sport you are with the NCAA basketball tournament. For years I write and I think were done at 68 article in the hope not many white I don't know where were going.

You know what we we we have a 12 year contract for what we have proteins and we have four more years to go on that contract couple years ago. The presidents are big board asked the commissioners to get to work on a new format, write something and we appointed a committee. The committee came back as you know, with the recommendation last summer to expand the 12 and the theory was 12 would give us half-and-half half conference champions in half and large and that the plan from the presidents was take your plan to campus and see how coaches feel. See how the players feel the presidency on faculty. Well we came back and everybody the commissioners coming together in an some of the conferences just said, it's not time were not ready so we put on the shelf and will bring it back before too long to figure out what to do with the future but I think listening to the commissioners listening to Jim Phillips today. It will stay up for phone no money. Where were all adults in the room.

I think for me for covered.

The one thing you couldn't handle to it happened in 2004 with three major conference on and of course an SEC team did make it that your which is bizarre but at least four covers us for that. But 12 okay, I mean the players really for this. I don't know if the players are.

Some conferences came regular personnel that they don't want to write names other player said well if we can do something to make up the difference. On the other hand we like playing games better than Pratt. We sure rather play games and practice, and it adds a couple more games for couple teams. It's not a draconian change in the number of games but but I also think I can do things with the rules to shorten games, eliminate some of the collisions sure none of us like to talk about the physical nature of college football, but it is a physical game player and if you can eliminate say 10 plays per game through let the clock run on and complete passes or something.

I don't know what to know that after first nonstop after first run may be something without abounds.

I don't know if you can eliminate 10 or 15 plays a game.

Good grief, that's a whole game over season will the NFL games have by and large, between 15 and 20 plays less than a college game which really doesn't make sense to think about what wire college, a letter wired for each team run 80 plays in college and each team runs 70 in the NFL or letters right so terse I look for us to have rule changes that will help with that and I don't know it's 2026 is the first year. The new the new deal if there's to be a new deal. And how about this, if there's no new deal then like the old Mission impossible television show business. If will self-destruct where aging ourselves, and I'm on that Bill Hancock Executive Director the college football playoff is joining us here in the roadshow at ACC football kickoff. Greg said he's been arguing that we shouldn't have automatic qualifiers.

I don't agree with a lot of things. Greg Sankey says, but I can do here because regardless of what the numbers why be beholden. I'm not trying to diminish conference shipping champions if the conference champion is one of the top 12 if it's if that's were going then don't be involved. But if they're not all right is the playoff had the best 12 teams should should you but you have to find a balance you do want to make conference championships meaningful right and that's why the committee said the best six conference champions right with the best six number champions are almost always going to be in the top 12 and are maybe 15 right but we did a lot of research on that. So we know and and that's that's the right balance.

I think between rewarding the conference champions making the conference championship games mean something and leaving us enough spots for at-large teams meeting of the SEC I just got inside I said that I was Adam that was me. Gold child LD in his email address is yes people know how to reach me. It just hit me up and Bill Hancock from the college football playoff is joining us. I understand that it almost seemed like at that point the in of the SEC in the Big Ten the power conferences were sort of throwing a bone to the group of five hey long as your conference or even the Pac 12. At that point. What is your conference shipping is in the top six of conference champions are good to go.

But now it almost seems like there's a little bit more vindictiveness going on in general sales and yet Adam not yet.

You might be able to save close but I doubt it. Okay, I think the commissioners my bosses are going to come together make it happen. You think in the right way. So what is the timeframe for an announcement because you say this for more years left of this. So at some point in the next two years, certainly doesn't. It is a decision have to be announced, which means that this has to happen really, probably within the next calendar year. My preference would be within the next year, it would be because will need time to finish the TV contracts figure out where the games to be played contracts with the game with sites so my preference would be within the next 12 months directing to talk to Gary stoking the little bit and he's with the check for labor people's people here who has just returned from St. Andrews okay so he's getting a feeling that way.

He wanted to have at this Gary stoking ghost went to Wimbledon and then he said, wow, I'm here. I'll just go to the British Open also seen maybe you are sick, you do have a second-best job. She has a bachelor link absolutely lifters in the same month my gosh Wimbledon was great this year. Obviously, an St. Andrews and Empress of Aurora guy. The second I can't even talk to is heartbreaking for Rory to feel so bad. Heartbreaking for him absolutely Kim Smith played Alice in mind. I can't. I can't even talk about it makes me angry Bill Hancock for the college football player is joining us here right so has been about getting it to more than one network. The playoff the future playoff. If there is we have 11 people are born some 10 conference commissioners plus checks will write to write some are represented in BC is represented.

If there's anything there unanimous on it is. Let's talk to more than one network, let's go to more than one we don't know what what their their how much how involved are going to be. But let's talk to more than one network there unanimous about that final question for Bill Hancock who was pushing for expansion of the playoff more.

What group of people.

Athletic directors and coaches, players or like presidents, man, what a great question that is making plans ready man's radio talk show. No, not this one. I go back to cut back to 2-4 spot except for you. That's right, our constituents are subdivided on so many things I would guess what, after fans, VADs, probably 80 what it's about his participation. You mentioned the money where my nose is more money is more game money. What is about is adding getting more teams to participate. That's what I thought about giving that chance of getting more conferences. Pac 12 limitless list. Let's get let's get the West Coast in the college level in the postseason while one has been appreciate your time. Good to see you Hancock. We always have fun doing that. You are a great person to talk real good to see you when we returned the head coach of the University of Miami Brando Miami guy Mary a crystal ball next brand-new Miami head coach Mary a crystal ball is joining us here at operation. Kickoff on the end goal. Joe your Miami guy this. Are you living the dream right Miami guy through and through every every part of me right to GPS in Miami. I know I received an ivory crack on every street and I got I got to the Grover summary people to come across on a daily basis so I honor to be home so everybody always asked the question is do you back. Can you ever get back to what it was used back to work okay. I don't know what people say were we have one focus. That's going to work. Miami has always been incredibly off the charts awesome when we were working our tails off and the focus was that work so were back to work. That's were about to do, but we all know when Miami achieved a certain level that there's nothing like it. Our focus is on a daily basis is to gaining ground 10 or 12 years from the from 83 to 9410+ wins for national championships in your coach Butch Davis look like he was turning it back into that with a bunch of 10 win seasons and Larry and Larry Coker was undefeated.

What is what is been missing from that they worked hard, but what has been missing over the last I can't have you no no no no that's not it.

I've been gone so I I never comment on something that I wasn't around for was able to take part in. I think that's the ultimate form of disrespect and I would disrespect Abraham. I am your nether place right. I know that we have implemented a regiment in the blueprint that's very demanding that the phrase Lotta physicality with it that requires every ounce of everything that you have on a daily basis and how you do anything as I do everything so that's gonna bring us some really really positive progress.

When you combine that with development of players and then schematic use of players as well.

Our personnel use to see a lot of progress at the University of Miami, but make no mistake about it were not going to tweet about it when I am up working up the claimant put on the T-shirt hashtag skin work. People look at Miami and sometimes you watch a game and liked half-full stating people don't get what Miami was in the brand that it can be.

How do you explain what Miami football is about everything that goes around with Will Miami set a standard that was really no just a different level standard back in the day and the I think that's the best thing that we can do even this interview now is just to bring them back. The fact that we were part of that we understand how that got there and Jimmy Johnson explained that I talked about how people but probably don't define the word swagger correctly.

Swagger was in talking wasn't pointing fingers.

It was confidence you time invested work done.

That's what the focus is on that is strictly and so that I'll be the most boring you've ever had because I want to talk about is the fact that we got a grind man, we gotta get to work this football so this is a warm and fuzzy and it certainly is a very forgiving, especially don't do the work right.

Right. It always shows what you did.

It's a truth teller right.

Come September, October and especially November 11 done it. It's going to tell exactly what you did what you didn't do a crystal ball.

Miami head coaches joining us here the Adam go choke. The one thing that we all know we could sweep seen it before about the players who play in the players who used to play as everybody goes back hot. Talk about how the community of ex-players can help you get to where you need well at Cisco since a swoon of momentum right now.

You know, these are guys I played with had a chance to coach guys I watched growing up as well is on the order will watch these guys playing me while I'm on the reason why want to Miami and the combination of that the combination throwing having played at Miami warned that a helmet the way the community the way the city responded the way that that stadium was rocking every single weekend and the fact that everybody wants that again right well I went away for a long time, a long, long time to learn under some of the best and to go out there and cut my teeth and get to meet a lot of people network. A lot of people that we have put together bring back here to Miami to get things going in that direction again ask about your quarterback because Tyler came on like midseason and just electrified everything he he plays a lot of that swagger that you were talking about is a very confident guy, but is also incredibly talented, so the confidence he could back up the confidence. What does he bring, especially since he really was only started for about half a year, but he's confident as he knows what he's doing. The understand scheme offensively stands with the defense is doing. You know it doesn't get duped in a bad decisions is very decisive.

He understands leverage understands coverages. He understands this guys coverages. He knows where he's protected were he's not. It was of a guys misaligned.

He could fix some of the guys should be on the body is not that we could prevent us from getting a penalty. Yes, complete complete command of the offense and the complete trust of Alabama football team. Let me ask you about a like an issue that is a lot of coaches have been talking about. I'm just curious what your thoughts are about name, image and likeness and what impact it has been having all over because it's really just happen for the last year's a brand-new thing. I'm of the mind that we just need to let it settle, but your thoughts on has it been bad. Does it need to be reined in. Where are you on it and I'll work anyway.

Everyone wants clarity and everybody wants a playing field were but understands how it can and should operate. You know it's a constitutional right and that is what it is 70 minutes.

People have their constitutional right so it's I think it's been positive for the most part it's hard to comment on what actually was great and what was not so great because the regulations surrounding it are so vague right team to have recruited well are still recruiting well right right so I don't know that's move the needle one way or the other players are not getting compensated for the name, image and likeness and the biggest say one of the biggest hopes for me is that we truly are educating guys that financial literacy is really a thing and not just a fancy term that were talking about how to handle your taxes just to say how to invest screen portfolios right how this increasing cash flow right because at the end of the day it's treated a certain way. By the time you finish graduate you have things that you and I never had frightened yet this may never have anything you yeah I got a big Mac and fries like my graduation so these guys could really take advantage of it.

I like it for us because we live in one or more prominent cities in the world you know I'm in Miami is sending know the city are universities ascending you know were Oregonians is a very strong place and I will not be postured very very well only for new members and likeness. But just as a place as a hub for business around the world and around the country so offer us.

I see I see only positive is coming with Gov. Rod and Tyler's car. I have not I love it. At some point final final serious question. Are you at all concerned about the shifting landscape of conference affiliation, not right now and I think we have a lot of smart people that are taken input from other smart people and I think coaches are involved in themselves and giving suggestions and there's a lot of ironclad contracts that have been a lot of things are being speculated you out there so are things changing and moving absolutely, absolutely.

Are certain brand names and conferences really strong with a shouldn't be concerned. I probably should feel that way.

Should everyone be proactive or at least having their hands and their finger on the pulse of understand when and if there is to be made a move. I think everyone's doing that. So I Percy I don't.

I'm not concerned ready you get to immerse yourself in Miami. FSU again. I immerse myself in every single day and every single thing that we do and I never look past his Miami FSU. The ultimate rivalry. 100%.

And when that everything on the uniform for either one of the school easels. That's the ultimate rivalry so when I was early in this business first Saturday in October every year. First Saturday night so that we at high noon at the okay corral no question about it. Mary, a crystal ball. Thank you very much great luck to you and appreciate you. How good would the ACC roster of games be if Miami Florida state returned to being lost. See television because for about 20 years.

That was arguably other than Ohio State, Michigan or Notre Dame US other than some of those types of rivalries. I don't know that there was a better game and honestly it might've been the best game anyway. Miami FSU first Saturday in October. That's what the ACC needs those two teams get back to that kind of a rivalry when we come back.
