0:00.0	All right, time for a little sports graffiti.
0:01.6	877, 710, ESPN. If you want to weigh in on anything, Lakers, clippers, Dodgers, Rams, off the menu with sports, whatever, 877. Salary cap. Salary cap. Anything. Movies. Movie. Heat, too. Whatever. If you want to weigh in and we're going to be waiting on Momo. She should be joining us any moment from the, what is it, the NBA Today Studio or NBA Studios? Yes, NBA Today. NBA Today's studio. She's going to be joining us. Let's begin with Sean in LaMedia. You're on sports graffiti. What's up, Sean? Well, Andy, I got a way to fix our structure of college football, give you the power for one moment on the radio.
0:41.9	I know it doesn't count for anything more than this.
0:44.1	But what I would do is, first of all, we have schools like Stanford in the ACC.
0:49.2	What is that?
0:50.5	So what I would do is take two mother conferences of the Big Ten and the SEC.
0:57.5	Each conference would have 40 teams, four divisions, 10 teams of each division.
1:03.3	So like the Pack 10 could be part of the Big Ten conference.
1:06.9	Then you'd have the four first place teams of each division going to the playoffs and four other teams for each conference, having eight teams in the big ten and then eight teams also from SEC to battle it out on the field, no committees.

1:45.1	mush because I really could not even follow his solution even though I'm sure it made sense.
1:50.1	Like the ACC and the Big Ten of the most messed up ones because the ACC basically has two
1:54.4	teams outside of the Atlantic Coast. So it's, it's SMU and Cal and it's like, oh, wow, you have to do your West Coast road trip.
2:02.8	SMU and Cal.
2:03.6	I know.
2:04.0	It's so strange.
2:04.5	And then Big Ten has the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the 12 former schools and buying. I mean, really, it would make the most sense to adopt like a professional sports model of East and West and just get rid of as this many conference divisions, alignments, whatever.
2:20.3	Like, it really. of East and West and just get rid of as this many conference divisions, alignments, whatever.
