00:00:04.060 --> 00:00:05.200
<v 1>Dan you've mentioned before,</v>

2
00:00:05.300 --> 00:00:08.880
how collectives are essentially a way for boosters to pay for prospects.

3
00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:12.720
Can you just quickly explain what the collectives are and if they are causing

4
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:14.640
the root of frustrations for some of these people?

5
00:00:16.150 --> 00:00:16.460
<v 2>Well,</v>

6
00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:21.190
it would be pretty simple to explain basically if us three decided

7
00:00:21.340 --> 00:00:24.150
that we wanted to support a certain school,

8
00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:27.830
we would pull all the money that we wanna spend together.

9
00:00:28.060 --> 00:00:32.470
We'd try to go out and recruit other people to put it money into the pot.

10
00:00:32.930 --> 00:00:36.990
And then we take that money and we're signing players to I L deals. Now,

11
00:00:37.290 --> 00:00:41.460
theoretically, technically it's not supposed to be quid pro quo.

12
00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:45.100
You're not supposed to say, you're gonna get this money. You're gonna get this.

13
00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:48.820
N I L deal in exchange for signing with the school we want you to go to.

14
00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:52.260
But despite all the sort of legal,

15
00:00:52.830 --> 00:00:57.570
maybe gray area that you can build into these contracts,

16
00:00:57.570 --> 00:01:00.890
everybody knows these collectives are paying prospects.

17
00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:05.490
And the question is whether or not the coaches and the schools

18
00:01:05.490 --> 00:01:09.250
themselves are actually involved directing these collectives, who to pay.

19
00:01:09.750 --> 00:01:12.650
If that's the case that's supposed to be against NCAA rules,

20
00:01:12.710 --> 00:01:16.480
but we're in this sort of area right now where everything is kind of hard to

21
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.840
enforce. Uh, nobody really knows exactly what the rules are.

22
00:01:19.910 --> 00:01:21.080
When you get into the season,

23
00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:25.720
you're going to now start seeing players that boosters

24
00:01:26.380 --> 00:01:31.320
and companies supposedly paid significant money for either not play very

25
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:33.840
much or not perform very well. Well,

26
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.750
how does that impact how much money people start shoveling in to the

27
00:01:38.750 --> 00:01:40.110
second, third, fourth year of this?

28
00:01:40.110 --> 00:01:41.790
Because if you're not getting the return on investment,

29
00:01:41.890 --> 00:01:46.790
if the coach isn't paying the playing, the, the player that you paid, uh,

30
00:01:46.790 --> 00:01:48.790
that's gonna cause an impact as well.

31
00:01:48.970 --> 00:01:53.260
So that's what I'm really looking for right now to see how these guys who

32
00:01:53.540 --> 00:01:57.700
supposedly got big money pan out in, in the first year on college campuses,
