1
00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:01,435
Part of the landscape

2
00:00:01,502 --> 00:00:03,003
that's changed is NIL

3
00:00:03,070 --> 00:00:04,004
and then the media money

4
00:00:04,071 --> 00:00:05,405
and the things that have

5
00:00:05,472 --> 00:00:07,508
changed drastically everywhere

6
00:00:07,574 --> 00:00:08,308
is Wisconsin

7
00:00:08,375 --> 00:00:09,610
were they behind in terms

8
00:00:09,676 --> 00:00:10,210
of adapting

9
00:00:10,277 --> 00:00:11,512
to that new landscape?

10
00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:12,246
Were they playing

11
00:00:12,312 --> 00:00:13,280
by a different set of rules

12
00:00:13,347 --> 00:00:14,181
than other universities

13
00:00:14,248 --> 00:00:14,748
that may have

14
00:00:14,815 --> 00:00:15,782
taken advantage of

15
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:16,850
how NIL

16
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:17,985
was supposed to be used?

17
00:00:18,051 --> 00:00:19,152
We welcome the chance

18
00:00:19,219 --> 00:00:20,053
to be able to

19
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,523
support athletes directly

20
00:00:22,923 --> 00:00:24,925
and I think we would be

21
00:00:25,893 --> 00:00:27,494
we would both welcome

22
00:00:27,561 --> 00:00:28,595
and I think, frankly

23
00:00:28,662 --> 00:00:29,863
many schools

24
00:00:29,930 --> 00:00:31,231
would welcome, a system

25
00:00:31,298 --> 00:00:32,900
that did have clearer

26
00:00:32,966 --> 00:00:34,101
guardrails

27
00:00:34,168 --> 00:00:36,069
and greater clarity

28
00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:37,504
about what was

29
00:00:37,571 --> 00:00:39,106
and wasn't permitted.

30
00:00:39,173 --> 00:00:40,874
We are operating, all of us

31
00:00:40,941 --> 00:00:42,309
in something of a wild west

32
00:00:42,376 --> 00:00:43,577
right now.

33
00:00:43,644 --> 00:00:45,145
That's not the

34
00:00:45,212 --> 00:00:47,748
structural environment

35
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:49,249
that I think is

36
00:00:49,316 --> 00:00:50,684
really ideal

37
00:00:50,751 --> 00:00:51,919
for the future

38
00:00:51,985 --> 00:00:54,388
success of college athletics.

39
00:00:54,454 --> 00:00:56,523
That's not a Wisconsin issue.

40
00:00:56,590 --> 00:00:57,758
That's not a Big Ten issue.

41
00:00:57,824 --> 00:00:59,493
That's not even an NCAA issue.

42
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,828
That's now a national dynamic.

43
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:03,564
But I would

44
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:05,499
love to see

45
00:01:06,667 --> 00:01:08,268
greater clarity

46
00:01:08,335 --> 00:01:10,003
and rules emerge

47
00:01:10,904 --> 00:01:12,606
that would ensure

48
00:01:12,673 --> 00:01:14,308
that we were all playing

49
00:01:14,374 --> 00:01:15,776
by kind of the same rulebook

50
00:01:15,843 --> 00:01:16,476
about what was

51
00:01:16,543 --> 00:01:18,445
and wasn't allowed.
