0:00.0	These fall sports, these winter sports, they were kind of bearing the brunt of the first wave of conference realignment.
0:05.6	The travel schedule for Stanford volleyball and soccer have been pretty ridiculous.
0:10.0	These are students, right?
0:11.1	These are student athletes.
0:12.3	And I just am very, very impressed by the way that these Stanford athletes have been able to balance everything and perform in a wildly new era of college sports that as we know did not always

0:38.0	We've been talking a lot of soccer in the last couple of weeks. And so we're going to talk
