We'll be joined shortly by Jay Paterno.

Actually, he's joining us right now on the Rude Guest Hotline.

Rude, the most reliable heating and air conditioning products in the DMV.

It's Jay Paterno, member of the Penn State Board of Trustees, son of Penn State legend,

Joe Paterno, author of the book Blitzed, the all-out pressure of college football's new era.

Jay, thanks for joining us, man.

We appreciate the time.

Great to be on with you guys.

So with the book Blitz, the all-out pressure of college football's new era,

obviously NIL and the portal have thrown a real curveball,

monkey wrench into not only college basketball

of college football as well. Talk about how that's changed the face of college football

just over the past few years and how, you know, players are getting paid legally at this point.

How NIL is really affected, not only Penn State, but, you know, the entire college football

landscape. I know, as you know, the entire college football landscape.

I know, as you said, legally in there because some of them were getting paid before it.

But I think the biggest thing is that when COVID happened and players were sequestered so that schools could get their TV check and play games,

I think the players started to realize, wait a minute, you know,

we're the real attraction here and were the reason that these schools can make all this money.

So state of California passed the law in 2021, and then it's really the NCAA and college football

and college basketball have just kind of let the courts dictate everything's going on.

No one's taken charge of this.
