0:00.0	So if you can get your deal done before the House settlement is approved,
0:05.0	they can basically pay you whatever you want and whatever you guys agree to.
0:10.0	So that's why there's a little bit of a rush right now,
0:12.0	and that's why I think so many players are decided to end of the portal right now
0:16.0	to get that money grab at the moment before the authentic NIL has to be put in place.
0:29.1	Hello and welcome. It is always college football. I'm your host Greg McElroy. Today is
0:33.7	Thursday, April 17th. We hope that you're enjoying the show, wherever you consume the show.
0:38.2	It's on the podcast platform on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, the ESPN College Football YouTube channel.
0:44.1	We hope that you're enjoying it.

1:53.9	we're living in right now, things happen very fast. I encourage all of you to follow us on our
2:00.4	social media page at always CFB. That's on Twitter.
2:04.4	That's on Instagram. And you can also follow me at Greg McElroy on my social media page. That is on both
