Cash the Ticket. It's presented by Fanduel. And I would say generally speaking, yes, they still need to tweak this. Did you guys get what you wanted? We'll read some of those tomorrow and the rest of the month. And here's the thing. For a guy like me who didn't want to do the expansion, look, my only, and I'm not doing any victory laps. I'm not going to be the guy shitting in the punch bowl. Penn State's going to be a 10-point favorite by the time it kicks off.

0:24.7

Texas is now already out to an 11-point favorite.

0:26.7

Ohio State's out to an 8-point favorite.

0:29.6

Notre Dame is out to an 8-point favorite.

0:34.6

These are not by football standard, by point-spread measure, competitive football games. Now, they don't always play out that way.

0:36.6

And I have to let the games play

0:38.3

out before I judge things. So if this turns into a raucous, wild, incredible night of football,

0:44.3

I will tip my cap. But on surface, this is not good. Okay, let me just get in front of the opposite

0:50.9

outcome. These are not raucous football games. These are blowout games.

0:54.6

There will be a lot of people in the coming weeks who will say we didn't need to do this.

0:59.2

And they've ever right to feel that way.

1:00.9

My point is, one week in, we're going to be to an 18 playoff.

1:05.0

Right?

1:05.3

After the first round of games, we'll be to an 18th.

1:06.8

You know what I'm saying? And then a week later we'll be to a 14 playoff. And again, the buys, we've got to clean some of this up. But the idea is we are going to filter this down to

1:14.1

the best on the best at the very end in a way that the sport has never done before. And Jim, I was

1:19.7

look, remember the middle ground for me, if we were forced to expand, I said to you, eight is great. Yeah, we can go to eight. I don't need 12. And there's no

1:29.7

middle ground between eight and 16. So if you're going to do it, just do it, like just jump in the

1:33.3

fucking pool. You can't just dip your toe in. But eight, I think, would have been perfect.

1:39.0

But yeah, so, all right, cool. You got what you wanted mostly. And I'm not invested enough to care. I don't like

1:45.7

any of what's going on in this sport. I like betting the games and watching. And look, I'll

1:50.3

admit to you, Texas and Georgia was good to watch. I have a grievance to file. But we'll get to
