| 0:00.0 | it's |
| 0:15.4 | you know this would have been the biggest story of the day that also broke right before we got on the air can bob but Kevin Durant stole that from us |
| 0:20.0 | USC and UCLA have formally now applied to join the big 10 and the conference is expected to vote to add the schools within 24 hours USC and UCLA in the big 10 there's other reports out there and this is kind of been |
| 0:36.8 | speculated for years about a super conference that the SEC and big 10 would combine into a super conference like a super team but a super conference and possibly even add more teams |
| 0:47.1 | I saw some else it was Brett McMurphy that tweeted earlier and I'm not sure if it was him so I'm not don't quote me on this but don't expect the big 10 to be done just yet it sounds like we're going towards two super conferences in the SEC and the big 10 combining at some point and this just makes no sense to me whatsoever like I get it it's all about money but like trying to wrap my head around USC and UCLA in the big 10 makes absolutely no sense just get rid of conferences at least in college |
| 1:17.0 | football just put them all in one big league or just split it like split it off into two leagues and make it not these conferences anymore let the conferences be other sports it just doesn't make sense anymore they're all over the place |
| 1:29.8 | yeah it's it's bizarre there's no question like look the it's one of those things where like it makes perfect sense but it also sucks like that's the best way I can describe what's |
| 1:43.6 | happening like it makes perfect sense and it sucks it's like like sort of like I guess like having to have a root canal makes perfect sense you don't want to like pull your teeth |
| 1:54.5 | out of your face like you don't want to like lose all your teeth it makes perfect sense but it sucks like it's awful it's just like it's it is this exact this is the root |
| 2:06.8 | canal of sports basically so okay like what do you mean it makes perfect sense okay by virtue of like joining forces in this new |
| 2:13.8 | super conference and the big 10 remember very important aspect of this big 10 media rights are up for |
| 2:19.2 | negotiation going into this season I don't think they've been set yet but they're supposed to command |
| 2:23.7 | in ungodly some of money like billions of dollars was rumored basically for the new media rights for |
| 2:28.8 | the big 10 so whatever they negotiate I'm sure there'll be some rules about when USC and UCLA come in |
| 2:35.7 | how many years until they get a part of the media rights that was true when the big 10 added Rutgers and |
| 2:40.4 | Maryland and those teams like they didn't get a share for a little bit like the first year they were in |
| 2:45.5 | or whatever so that has to be worked out it's estimated that each of the teams in the big 10 |
| 2:50.0 | in this new big 10 with the new media rights deal would get 50 million more dollars per year than if |
| 2:56.0 | they stayed in the pack 12 50 million more dollars so that's what I mean by like it makes perfect sense like it |
| 3:04.2 | makes perfect that's the makes perfect sense part because it's about money of course it is and the |
| 3:08.0 | money yeah in a super conference the media rights to a super conference are going to be so much more |
