David Teel, ACC Football, talks about the latest news regarding the new NBA regulations on age and when players can join the NBA.

Show podcast financial capital financial USA.com. This is the atom gold show that when I was like cartoon you said oh I know why I feel I felt all Looney Tunes is sure about about all of that got real, but with this is not news about Matt ruled may have been fired and is probably not can be fired anytime soon it's going to. He will be the coach we start next season.

I'm sure but there's like more rumors of Matt going elsewhere to talk about all of that to begin a lot of things sort of breaking it before you get to breaking news, which happened about an hour ago your Cosco. I have what is it about Costco's parking lot that makes people stupid. I'm curious I'm I think this is this is an investigative piece for local news for dateline right what is it about Cosco's parking lot that makes people flat stupid like black Friday the same thing people go crazy okay they do a little excited so I'm driving to the parking lot yesterday.

There's two lanes. As I'm driving past the entrance.

There's one lane going one way, one lane going the other way and it's meant for all you know cars so in one lane, there is a truck that is being that something is being loaded onto Annette's fair as a loading area. The person who drove the truck was standing in the middle of the other lane not interested in moving like we get one to drive so that that happen. People just walking aimlessly throughout the parking lot which is normal but it just makes people dump. Then you go to the gas under if you get the Cosco you should save a lot of money so I saved his least $0.40 that the lowest I've seen it right. Either way, so you can go to either side of the pump and there are two pumps on both sides. Yes, and this is the way we do it. I don't is like Noah's Ark people were doing it by two people, two cars go there when those two cars leave the next two cars behind them. Your turn yet. If you are going to be that person who will look the car behind the first car decided to leave before that other car was done.

I'm just going to pull up here and stop no wrong that's not how it works just hold your horses. So person in front of me in a maroon minivan. I will give the license plate, but I could maybe you should was impatient.

Meanwhile the person in spot one was actually taking the nozzle out of their car and putting it back into the machine and getting ready to leave the person in front of me just stopped at the second unit and started to do their thing left their door open. I couldn't get around. I'm just staring a hole in this woman wow without getting out of my car and saying are you done sir. Yeah, it's not hard will wait I I saved another problem from somebody else later on because I was in spot once that I had to wait for that person leave so once that person left I moved up in spot one. And there was somebody behind me who did the same thing who left early because it took me longer to fill my tank than them to fill. There's and the other person behind it was just a book full of bright pine. Like I said she's me sir if you wait 30 seconds I'll be done and then you can pull up into my spot so the other person behind you know what that humanity people. I'm begging you. I am begging you to get this right this thing for two seconds a little exactly the little things in life, man. It's just the little things and think about your fellow man.

I I am now fully write it out and into the show.

Let's go is not that hard to think about somebody just isn't part let's let's talk about this. Start here at 11 o'clock today was 1 o'clock there about the Atlantic Coast conference ditched Greensboro. I'm not saying this for effect. We all knew it was going to happen. It is to me inconsequential where your favorite conferences headquarters are utterly inconsequential. They got nice offices in Charlotte now will read some quotes from Duke Pres. Vincent Price and from the ACCs commissioner Jim Phillips but it doesn't mean that they don't still love Greensboro.

It doesn't mean that Greensboro doesn't matter or hold a place in the hearts and in the business minds of the ACC.

They decided that Charlotte is a better location than Greensboro which is that is just flat true and from Greensboro like every Greensboro closer to where I live and work, then Charlotte significantly so I can get the Greensboro my home in one hour. I can get to Charlotte and now know I can't but I can get the Greensboro in one hour. My son went to school in Greensboro. He was a volunteer at the ACC basketball tournament that stop but is less his senior season, he was able to get he was about their work for like a day and 1/2 and then they shut it all down, but he was there right so personally. Selfishly, Greensboro better but it doesn't matter where it is and I know it's a joke, but what I suggested that the ACC does is that we just buy a tricked out live Winnebago right get a this enormous RV like the Madden cruiser down and you just drive around from school to school, and your headquarters when Jim Phillips wake up today.

He woke up in Atlanta headquarters of the ACC. He woke up while he was in Pittsburgh today headquarters of the ACC is just a letterhead. It really isn't anything. Nothing happens at ACC headquarters. Most of the people mostly work remotely. Yeah like college game day's travel around this week. Headquarters are in Tallahassee. It doesn't matter. Here's Vincent Price, the president of Duke University. The Board of Directors is pleased that the conference headquarters will be joining the Charlotte community and is quite excited about the long term opportunities that will afford the board also recognizes and expresses our thanks for what has been a truly wonderful relationship with Greensboro over the last 70 years.

We appreciate the support shown by the state of North Carolina that the league office remain in state there were some economic incentives some kickbacks if you will just politics. We are grateful to the city of Charlotte.

I don't mean it mean to for it to sound nefarious, they provided some incentives better the better said that Wade and kickbacks.

We are grateful to the city of Charlotte and look forward to a flourishing partnership Jim Phillips today is a transformational day for the ACC and for our 15 world-class institutions for Notre Dame really cares. We truly appreciate the state of North Carolina for the dedication to keep the conference headquarters in state after a comprehensive inclusive and deliberative process, the board decided that Charlotte an amazing and vibrant community. The problem with that not only meets but exceeds easy the needs of the ACC.

Our new home will provide both known and unknown benefits to our student athletes know me that like I'm at a stage stop right there.

Anyway, look bigger city got more to offer doesn't have the romance I get it, but the ACC tournament is going to go back to Greensboro when it's supposed to go back to Greensboro. This has no bearing on future ACC tournament football championship game is in Charlotte and will be in Charlotte until Charlotte falls into the sea just it's a great spot for it's got a great stadium downtown start the uptown area. That's very pretentious by the uptown area is cool.

It's a good spot. Nice hotels always under construction, which means it's like every other major American city and always under construction.

This was easy, could be worse could be Orlando yeah which was I think held as a threat more than anything else. I don't believe believe the league was truly interested in Orlando because I don't think anybody is truly assisted in Orlando but I think Orlando is like a look. It's near Disney may be II think it was used as sort of a lever absolutely will take get Charlotte taking care of our so good for the league you have a home you have letterhead.

Let's just town. Here's the thing though.

I know that there are people who are upset about this because Greensboro has been home base since 1953 right so I understand but it doesn't hurt Greensboro other than the however many people who work there. The only real injury to those people or to the area is that those people will either move to Charlotte so that's bad right so for however many people work in the office.

Let's say 50. Those people will relocate to Charlotte so those people have to move in their schools and all of that, but this is like this happens a lot and if those people went to lunch were done yeah that's the impact it has no other now is good for sure which is almost in North Carolina so rising tide lifts all boats are let's let's move on to some other matters. The Buffalo Bills are kind of the machine. They are kind of a machine so they had everything they don't always have tons of stars amid got stars mean Josh Allen is the start we hear from implement. Stefon Diggs is a star. Stars running backs would be a good player and they have other really good players.

Other good receivers, good site editors got it all along contract that got Von Miller as a star Micah Hyde Jordan employer, booty Basham, former Wake Forest Demon Deacon got good players everywhere. They have a good coach will find out if he's a great coach. It wasn't a great coach Lester's good coach last year but Sean McDermott is on the path to being a great head coach Brandon Beam who came from the Charlotte Panthers organization that started McDermott by the way he was a defensive coordinator and Ron Rivera so Brandon Beam is kind of the elite when it comes to the directed that they put the graphic last night about all of the drafted players that are not only making impact, but are great that Brandon Beam bought an audit of the organization. So they've done a really good job and they have done a very good job of augmenting their good drafts by bringing in the right free agents. Let's remember Minnesota dumped Stephan Dix that I get it made him want to pay Stefon Diggs, understand, and they've they drafted Justin Jefferson behind that thought about just Jefferson in a minute as he played last night to but they allowed Stefon Diggs, who might be the best receiver and in the sport. My thing is because I think that changes every few weeks. It seems like all that's the best wide receiver in the sport. That's if there's a collect he's in the he's in the conversation for the best wide receivers in the sport. That's a really good team meeting. I picked them to win the Super Bowl. But what I know and I but I think a lot of people picked them to win the Super Bowl are on the right track. My gosh they are really really good. I said this before the season started after week one.

I said it before last night. I don't think Tennessee's very good to hear from them as well. In a minute Ryan Tannehill who needs a running game needs a big go to wide receiver.

The running game needs big go to wide receiver and their big go to wide receiver's plan. Big go to wide receiver snaps for the Philadelphia Eagles why they let Ajay Brown go go they want to pay them. That was a massive mistake by the Tennessee Titans. Robert Woods is good. He's not Ajay Brown, Ajay Brown is a huge target who is outstanding right so that's that.

That that game from last night about a final score was like one set yeah it was crazy like the buffaloes good to go over by themselves, but I got both of the.

The over under is a book on both wrong bills bills Titans went over by a half-point and Philadelphia realized that we don't have to do anything else here in the second half. It was sweating was 24 seven at halftime. Another way but I Philadelphia Eagles in jail and hurts are very good in a way I think the Philadelphia Eagles are sort of Buffalo Bills light they could yet because they've got some start out. They don't have Josh L but jail and hurts is a poor man's Josh L.

Big physical runner good arm, smart player learning is a couple years behind where Josh Allen was maybe but I think jail and hurts is a good enough quarterback to get you to Super Bowl yeah I really do.

I think he is good enough to do that and this is me coming around just like I came around Josh Allen. By the way, this is me coming around on jail and hurts.

I never thought jail and hers was going to be that good and I still don't know if he's going to be a top 10 quarterback but is top half of the league easy and he smart as hell, and he's a high character kid man and that is that's really good Philadelphia is very good. I don't know if they are great but I think they are very good but they have a lot of similarities of the bills.

I mean name a running back.

They've got good running backs, but maybe not a great running back. They have a start wide receiver and Ajay Brown but the other options are pretty good and they have a very very very good defense and they gave the Minnesota Vikings a hard time yesterday speaking of the Vikings, Kirk cousins bad, but prime time out of this is Monday Night Football or Monday and Sunday nights. Kirk cousins is now two and 10 in prime time, yikes, is only two wins came against the Chicago Bears, one during the pandemic season.

The other last year about a year apart woman is like in November 2020. The other was in December 2021. Thanks again. I mean, that's, that's Kirk cousins night when his dad shared about right right is lights not really good couple more things that will love weird I assume will have time will get to will get to some sound.

There's actually a lot of little things to talk about today. The NBA in the NBA players Association are in the process of negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. So I believe this one ends in 24 so we don't have a lot of time to get two years to get it done and I think they will get it done well in advance of that. I don't think this will be a deadline situation. What I what I think will in the new CBA will include is a lowering of the age requirement for draft eligibility is currently 19 years old.

Or maybe it's one year after your high school class graduates.

I think that's the way it's worded and I do believe they will get rid of that 19 year age limit and it will be lowered to 18, which means that you can go directly from high school into the NBA without will expand on this a little bit later on why were here, but here's what will not go away because I've already seen it written incorrectly. This will do nothing to stem the tide of one and done players. Nothing this just in. Players go after their sophomore year to shirking so players who have to go to school for one year maybe wouldn't be NBA player attractiveness, then write out a high school will be attractive after one year in college.

We are still good at what it done players.

This is done were never going to not have them now so it's always been criminal to me the way that those athletes were stigmatized. I saw Seth Davis from the athletic right that he would eliminate any age limit like what like no man ever just be an adult. That's enough to be adult right you can vote exactly hey don't like but that's so we have that issue to get to will get into a little bit more in depth later on.

Florida State Louisville will talk about this with David Teal from the Richmond Times Dispatch and a little bit.

We'll talk about that as well with David Teal because it impacts Duke Duke had six players in the last two years anymore in the last 39 the last three leave after one year and go to the NBA yeah definitely will impact how Duke recruits because a lot of those players will not be available to do this or to go right to the NBA.

It will also mean that you could have a really good recruiting class and then all of a sudden half of its going to go because you're always good to recruit these players in case they don't go to the NBA anyone FSU logo plate last Friday, 2.75 million people watched 2.75. Not only that it was the number one original program on prime time Friday night for viewers under the age of 50 audio broadcast or cable television. The number one program was Florida State at Louisville which was a good game. It was not a great game but it was a football game that was close and my present company included.

Sometimes we can't recognize what's good and what's Clark's live sports is undefeated and I've been saying this for a long time for a league like the ACC that is looking for ways to separate itself from other conferences. Literally, I've been saying this for 10 years Friday night football every Friday night 10 times a year ACC Friday night football put on TV. Good match ups and ESPN will think you, yes. And once that happens, you'll see other conferences due to but if the Big Ten is so hell-bent on staying on Saturdays because I think that is your competition for Friday nights, the Big Ten, not the SEC would stands on its own with ESPN owning both the ACC and the SEC they are loath to compete with themselves get through it. You moved to Charlotte. Now let's go play Friday night football, I apologize for the high schools in advance. You'll deal by real quick about not rule over so as soon as Nebraska fired Scott Frost after three weeks of the season met rules name came up in connection with the Nebraska job. It's a high profile job 25 years ago. It's not a high-profile job anymore other than you have a huge stadium, and fans want to win in the Big Ten has a ton a month. I don't think that's a place it's ever going to win consistently ever again.

Arizona State, on the other hand, if I were Matt rule.

I would be looking for property in Tempe because that is at first walked major university yes with football pedigree and with Southern Cal leaving the pack 12.

It's either going to be Arizona State if they hire the right person or Oregon or Washington. Maybe that becomes the program in that league.

I am banking on the right higher. Maybe that's not not rule and just think I'm banking on the right higher, making Arizona State the crown jewel of that leak. That's what I believe will happen. It's it's a really really good opportunity for the right coach.

So if I were Matt rule.

I would be looking at property in Tempe please to stay away from Glendale, Scottsdale's very nice they already speak the college lingo savvy dyad delay. Stay away from. Stay away from Glendale always honored to be joined by the one and only David Teal Richmond Times this batch. Mr. Soares.nobody more plugged in the David Teal. He probably knew that the league was moving to Charlotte before Charlotte was incorporated as a city and he joins us on the atom gold show Mr. Teal how are you did it have been that we knew this was coming out of the wind caught me by surprise. Just because it does you just showed up in my inbox and there we go ahead of the Charlotte, I just asked the question that we could discuss it real quick. What's the significance of the ACC's headquarters leaving Greensboro and being moved to Charlotte to problem Greensboro largely abolished as a source of civic pride.

There are competent below. It was found that there in May 1950. Such field country club has been there ever since.

And to lose it. It's not really economic below were talking about 50 employee if the photos of it think government is not going to go away from Greensboro forever to continue to go there on a rotational basis. Just like it has been open for Charlotte for the ACC staff and for that ACC member schools. Charlotte makes all the world you have your football championship game there every season.

Your football kickoff.

There were partners in corporate sponsors anything they call me here Charlotte, you have more home games for the ACC.

I think that's important and it's got a large corporate presence. And he wants to pursue corporate sponsorships. No, it makes sense from all those I ESPN has studios there now.

We do have studios on every campus pretty much now, but ESPN has studios in Charlotte and obviously Charlotte airport is great roses not on the Greensboro Mayor over this morning. We knew that was a problem in, we offer them private jets are not the ACC should have had their own Greensboro should have their own private jet service that would be that would be amazing.

David Teal Richmond Times Dispatch is joining us here on the atom gold so I can say this verb months if not years that it's largely it's romantic.

It's romance. The Greensboro tie here.

There are there are so many people who believe that as long as Greensboro is still HQ that that's where then the tournament would never leave on a regular basis and I'm like no favorite show you that they're going to leave on a regular basis were to go to DC in Brooklyn and you know and Charlotte so my feeling is always been that Greensboro while wonderful building and they run the tournament better than anybody probably know that that's close is always going to be used for like anniversary tournaments and round numbers, but ultimately it's it's not a basketball tournament anymore. It's a place in a way to entertain clients and grow and grow business and you need more than Greensboro has to offer, then it also Charlotte or and I still think that Washington DC is the best place for it and I would support a permanent home at the whatever it's called the Verizon Center. I think is a great location. Your point is very well taken about tournament being an entertainment venue, someone ACC fundraiser sent to me for the carpet first went to New York and we were talking about the prospect of being down and he said to be not important how many people who like Mr. Johnson, David Teal Richmond Times Dispatch is joining us here on the atom gold so we spent five minutes talking about something that I don't really believe is that big of an issue. I think that the little the league and I said this to Jim Phillips at ACC football kickoff.

He appreciated the humor but I'm sorta serious, we need HQ to just put Jim and staff in a Winnebago of a child like a Madden cruiser and wherever he wakes up that's HQ. Sometimes it would be Blacksburg Virginia is sometimes it would be Charlottesville Virginia is let's talk a little bit really just get your thoughts will click on the potential for of the age limit to go down to 18 in the NBA draft is probably can impact Duke more than any other school. I think in the country based on the way the John Scheier has continued to recruit your thoughts on that before you move on actual football. I'm really curious to see how prospects will you Adam and me analyzing how a and whether the type of name, image and likeness compensation or a college light down the stool year or two in residence collegiate way for moving on to the NBA and I don't know the answer but I'm fascinated to watch it all unfold as far whether the addition to this, I think the answer is clear. Absolutely sure doesn't seem silly to me.

All you young man in question should be able to pursue their livelihood as they think that when one does not going away because the players to go to school for one year and have great years are going, whether they were as good as the guys who ultimately didn't go to college that matter is still get together still did end up spending just one year in college I went. We have some time.

Football Shelley. I actually think I'm normally pessimistic about the way the ACC has started the season. I'm not this year. I'm not even discouraged by Miami losing at Texas A&M because I think that game Miami just wasn't equipped, I think in terms of personnel really to win that game.

They had their chances but they're not good enough offensively to the really dent Texas A&M but I actually think the league's gotten off to a pretty good start. We think all I don't think there is any question, link is already on Adam's six games versus the power five. The record right now.

Six and five last year. The record was eight and 86600 brought about major that a or site year ago and mode. I think one of the fuel use. After last Saturday night record for yes yeah it did I have my I'm a little disappointed. Maybe I'm Grady I'm I am grading on a reverse curve for NC state they are and will.

They are three no, but could lost East Carolina. I have not been impressed at all with their offense. What happens this week in their glorified scrimmage against UConn. I don't care why I don't know that their offense is good enough to win at Clemson at Wake Forest on that's a very good point.

I actually even though it was just Louisiana Tech. They looked a little bit different to me because I've seen them against competition that they should've destroyed and DJ Lyons delay is not been good. I thought he was pretty good in the window. Louisiana Tech.

If that if they get growth out of the quarterback position. I think Clemson cycles right back to the top of the of the schools chasing the top three to get into that number four spot. If they do that because I think their defense is spectacular. I tell her I think will continue to be in our hearts go out to find Brasília and of the loss of his teenage sister cancer that young man whatever he feels is ready to return phone call obviously have that defense as well. But again, I think once it is absolutely playoff caliber second best team in the league right now.

David will regional weekly power: both the papers and arcade and I've been resolute all law stuck with my preseason pick of NC state and number two in the escape green grow Florida State to be where you create effective Florida State was New Orleans at LSU then went to hotel movable and beat the Cardinals. There I think you can make the case no. So the top three teams in the league. Maybe all all on one side of the blanket again. This is why we had to get out a division it had become lopsided yeah I know right wake people cannot fathom why I might believe that state is better than wake. What does the responses for what's change from last year.

Mike the year and that that matters.

We can't just ignore things are not static.

Let me ask you one more thing, because the Florida State LSU fallacy Florida State Louisville game on ESPN Friday night drew 2.75 million viewers, and it was the number one watched program on broadcast or cable television in the demographic under 50 years old. What's stopping the ACC from going to ESPN in San we will give you a high profile Friday night game every Friday for like 10 straight weeks. Why can't they do that. Certainly can very well by torque at all about the high school computers right don't appreciate the competition. There Friday night and Thursday night used to work out anymore. Now and now it's Friday night. I mean I understand the high school angle here but I think that made maybe it's because I am not like knee-deep in high school football right. I think that is that such a such a easily refuted argument so North Carolina or NC State or Virginia or Virginia Tech because they these are the two states that read and I guess Clemson to where high school football is a Friday night thing where I grew up in New Jersey high school football is a Saturday this Saturday by 10 o'clock in the morning or 11 o'clock in the morning think it was that it was a Saturday thing so I did. I just think there's so little end if if you going to go to the high school football game, you're going to go to the high school football game anyway so I just don't think alert attendance. I don't think it will impact recruiting weeds did not play high school basketball and Tuesday's right in the sale or care. A lot of these to avoid Tuesday's, because, well, that's high school basketball night. Now I don't care. We stopped caring as his money so Donna, one today. David Rogers. I spent the first five minutes of the show ripping the people in the Costco parking out stairway. Be careful. Just make sure you have provisions next time you go to Cosco and drive to the front parking lot.

I will write you an event at David deal comes on at by David Teal Richmond Times Dispatch.

I thank you very much for your time was fun and you got it states that the it's the little things that complement can stick with the holiday just like someone raised at the gas station. My very good friend John Foresman noted was the Santa corrected likes to use this phrase in a hockey game when somebody comes out and like their flying all over the place. He's gotta be in his bonnet.

I feel like that's me today I feel like today I have the be in my bonnet. I'm I'm ready to go. I'm right I am absolutely ready the NBA players Association, hammering out a new CBA that will probably get done. My guess is, I think maybe before Christmas and well in advance of the expiration of this one in which the draft will soon be NBA player draft will soon include players straight out of high school.

They are going to remove the age limit that requires high school graduates to go to one year of college or spend some here somewhere else member they created that that G league elite team and there are other places to go play before you get to the NBA. Some players were going overseas and playing Australia were ever staying in an Academy for an additional year or just go to the G league is there is no requirement to simply play in the Julie and the NBA is in this position of lowering the age limit. Remember the NBA put it, the NBA is in this position because of the way one year college players were treated by fans indirectly by the media who didn't know better, and by the college establishment that used air quotes one and done players as the easy blaming point for what ever else was going wrong and had been saying this since this started. Why are we blaming them.

These are the players who we want to watch. Why are we making it widely embarrassing them when these are the reasons these players are the reasons we watch college basketball if you think that we are here to watch the girl four year college guy you're nuts because that's not what sells talent sells the number one viewing college basketball season in the last 50 years.

Pretty much what was less than 50 W. 40 design on Williamson year yeah we all know Zion was leaving, but we couldn't get enough. And it's because of the way these people were discussed and treated that the NBA Adam silver member David Stern, his predecessor. He's the guy that put the, the, the rule in their Adam Sutherland well, it's clear that the college game doesn't want these players.

He said that out loud because it was true. The college game made it clear that they didn't want these players so the NBA will get them isn't the best place for them.

No, not even the best place for the NBA to get these players they want to recruit high schools but they're gonna have to but they're going to have to is also high school basketball and prep basketball has become something that we can all watch on television.

If we want.

You can find the games, but this is a creation of our own. If you are a college basketball think this is our mass that the NBA is coming in to clean up reluctantly or otherwise. But that's the reason why the age limit is going away and maybe okay that's fine but what it does not going away.

We will still have players been one year in college and then go to the NBA they will just be different for the most part from the players who did this is the Adam gold shell
