All right, if you are a college football fan, I mean, this is wild.
So we hear that we're going to 24, right?
We hear that we have a 24-game team playoff on the horizon.
And what happens?
Number one, number two, number three, number four,
number seven all lose over the weekend.
No team in the top five won,
and no team in the entire AP poll kept its position from
one week to the next.
the anti-expansion people are saying why
in the world are we expanding to 24 because they are
parroting Nick Saban by saying you know what we don't have 24 teams
that are good enough to win
the national championship people
who want 24 say look at the upsets are everywhere florida beat
texas in austin florida wouldn't be in the playoffs
if you had a 12 team playoff florida
wouldn't be there so let's get
the topsy-turvies let's get college basketball type upsets let's go
and expand this because ESPN has the exclusivity
on it the reason why we're expanding is strictly
television ESPN is capable of blocking out TBS TNT
and Fox and they own an NFL type playoff
because if you watch the NFL playoffs we're
going everywhere right we're going to Prime
we're going to Netflix we're going to you know CBS
and ESPN and Fox like there's all these different
players involved in the NFL right now ESPN is the cat
that swallowed the canary they're just hoping
that we're not listening to the bird singing
because it's a huge problem everyone knows it's
a huge problem but ESPN is about money and growth
and shareholders and ABC and Mickey Mouse and
everything else so they want to own this so they're expanding
because they get 12 more games
and they get to own those 12 games.
And if they don't have the ability to broadcast those games,
they can sell them off to TNT, CBS, whomever.
It's a massive mistake, okay?
Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt not calling a college football playoff game
is a massive mistake, okay?
We should have the top, Brad Nessler,
we should have the top broadcasters calling college football.
And I'm sorry, but the fourth
and fifth team in college football for ESPN
is not what I want to listen to.
Okay, that's a mistake.
