I will say that our, our second stringers, there's a pretty big fall off between the talent level of our starters and I'd say most of our, our backups, especially on the defensive end. It was not, it didn't, it didn't look inspiring. Yeah, we are, we are not a deep, deep team.

View profileLocal judges giving favorable rulings to local teams is a total disaster for college sports
I thought that the entire thing was a disaster for college football, college football, and our collegiate athletics. A total disaster. Because if we're gonna have local judges, you know, give favorable rulings to the teams that are near them, then, then what are we doing? Like this is not, there are no rules.
Most college football programs would have rallied around their QB and pressured the local judge just like Texas Tech did

I think this is uniquely college football. And I think almost, maybe, maybe this is wrong, but I think most programs would've acted similarly to what Texas Tech [did] and then the blowback is always everybody else pointing like, we would never do that.

I personally believe that we need to collectively bargain with players. That's my personal belief. ... But I will tell you that without the ability to enforce rules, then, then this is a house of cards.
