09:08.308 --> 09:09.329 [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't get it. 09:09.929 --> 09:10.870 [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't understand. 09:12.111 --> 09:13.592 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, Doug, 09:14.607 --> 09:16.408 [SPEAKER_01]: Williams and James Shack Harris. 09:17.149 --> 09:23.213 [SPEAKER_01]: These guys, the big picture for them is the legacy ball, right? 09:23.873 --> 09:39.664 [SPEAKER_01]: You have over a hundred young men, the invite to play on Team Gayther, Team Robinson, try to get their set themselves in front of a lot of the NFL scouts, decision makers. 09:40.165 --> 09:43.347 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that everybody's going to the National Football League. 09:44.750 --> 09:46.511 [SPEAKER_01]: They may now go to the CFL. 09:47.011 --> 09:50.994 [SPEAKER_01]: They may now even get into the UFL or the European leagues. 09:51.935 --> 09:53.456 [SPEAKER_01]: But they have an opportunity. 09:54.456 --> 10:05.783 [SPEAKER_01]: And that was the main thing echoing from Doug Williams and James Shack Harris when I first spoke to them back in 2021 about the game starting in 2022. 10:14.206 --> 10:15.966 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, their vision came to life. 10:17.207 --> 10:18.667 [SPEAKER_01]: It kicked off in New Orleans. 10:18.767 --> 10:20.348 [SPEAKER_01]: It spent five years there. 10:21.008 --> 10:24.029 [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of buy-in from the New Orleans and Saints Organization. 10:24.929 --> 10:29.110 [SPEAKER_01]: They had the two seasons where they had the HPCU combined there. 10:30.050 --> 10:40.053 [SPEAKER_01]: That moved to Ashburn, Virginia, to the Washington Commanders complex this past year. 10:41.689 --> 10:58.972 [SPEAKER_01]: And you know what we'll say it, when that move happened, a lot of people say it was better facilities, it's better accommodations, the flights in and out, the travel was a lot better for those scouts and decision makers. 11:00.413 --> 11:03.414 [SPEAKER_01]: So, why can't I, why not New Orleans? 11:03.454 --> 11:11.298 [SPEAKER_01]: Why couldn't New Orleans be one of those places where you had a lot of the buy-in coming from them? 11:11.878 --> 11:29.587 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, the problem was in New Orleans, the legacy bowl co-incided with Madagrad and the people down in New Orleans, I'm being quite frank with you because I am from New Orleans, so I can say this. 11:31.133 --> 11:34.615 [SPEAKER_01]: They care more about my degree out there in the HBC legacy book. 11:36.175 --> 11:48.241 [SPEAKER_01]: Now, moving it to Atlanta, where you have more people, you have more HBC use, of course, you have Morehouse Spellman, Mars Brown, Clarkette Lanter, right? 11:48.601 --> 11:59.866 [SPEAKER_01]: And I think a lot of the facilitating of the team will be around Clarkette Lanter and possibly Morehouse, but moreso, Clarkette Lanter, using their practice fields and stuff to that nature. 12:02.065 --> 12:19.558 [SPEAKER_01]: but also you have a lot more HPC use there as a center point is more centric to 50 HPC use are within one day driving distance so they can get to the career fairs. 12:21.019 --> 12:22.140 [SPEAKER_01]: That's right, not the game. 12:24.301 --> 12:26.703 [SPEAKER_01]: James Shag Harris, Doug 12:30.623 --> 12:31.603 [SPEAKER_01]: is the career fair. 12:32.324 --> 12:32.944 [SPEAKER_01]: Not the game. 12:34.765 --> 12:37.205 [SPEAKER_00]: People's might, oh, you can't, you must be out your mind. 12:38.566 --> 12:42.207 [SPEAKER_01]: Ask those gentlemen. 12:42.608 --> 12:53.492 [SPEAKER_01]: They care more about what's happening and providing career opportunities for that only the players, but for the HBCU family. 12:55.072 --> 12:57.073 [SPEAKER_01]: So, I think 12:59.085 --> 13:18.294 [SPEAKER_01]: The career fair, it would run like Thursday and Friday right before the game, and usually we'll have around average around 300 people per day to go, I think, especially the last couple of years, think about in that land to how many more you have. 13:19.495 --> 13:26.038 [SPEAKER_01]: Think about it, right now Atlanta is considered one of the black mechers. 13:27.607 --> 13:32.930 [SPEAKER_01]: the HBCU makers as well because you have a lot of people who would like to go there. 13:33.230 --> 13:52.840 [SPEAKER_01]: Now, somebody said, well, why don't we have it in DC or why can we put it on East Coast somewhere, get it away from the red states because, you know, there's this boycott against the SECs and all these other, because these red states are not cooperating with 13:59.380 --> 14:01.281 [SPEAKER_01]: the wooden work as well. 14:01.721 --> 14:10.327 [SPEAKER_01]: I think right now, this kind of see where we are with the HPC legacy bowl in Atlanta. 14:12.487 --> 14:19.473 [SPEAKER_01]: So the legacy bows moving and guys, I just believe all in all is going to be a great move to the Atlantic area. 14:20.514 --> 14:21.454 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go on. 14:21.554 --> 14:36.026 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about what's happening with some of the

game fixing allegations in four Alabama state basketball players were rude and eligible by the NCAA. 14:36.547 --> 14:36.827 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, 14:38.972 --> 14:55.854 [SPEAKER_01]: This all happened in the same season that Coach Matlocks team won the 2025, yeah, 25 basketball championship for the swag. 14:56.835 --> 15:04.039 [SPEAKER_01]: and they went on to defeat St. Mary's and then they went on to get defeated by orbit. 15:04.599 --> 15:21.247 [SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, Coach Matt Locke is not implicated in this, but unfortunately his son T.J. was a part of it, as well as a more knocks on future and curry hines. 15:22.047 --> 15:42.223 [SPEAKER_01]: Those guys who are ruled in eligible by the NCA Division 1 Committee on Infractions, and this all came about because a better approach than to pick a game against Southern Mississippi. 15:43.937 --> 16:09.877 [SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to kind of fathom because that was a meaningless game, and I think also TJ was injured for that game, well, that's what he told them, and he received the, based upon the findings of the committee that he received as well as the future received $700 for the game, and the others received just $300, right? 16:11.958 --> 16:29.169 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, well, it was so, more disheartening is that one of the guys who, because it was two better that approach these guys, one of the guys went ghost on those young men and didn't pay them for what they did. 16:29.889 --> 16:34.232 [SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, you know Mississippi State 181, 64 covered the spread. 16:39.438 --> 17:00.823 [SPEAKER_01]: I guess when it comes to point-shaming, when it comes to betting on sports, you have the proliferation of more game apps, more more betting apps, more more opportunity and enthacement for young men. 17:02.345 --> 17:19.528 [SPEAKER_01]: to say, hey, if the NCAA, you see it on these games, you see it on the NBA, the NFL, you see draft kings and you see all of these underdog and everybody, you know, just a fool. 17:20.682 --> 17:32.864 [SPEAKER_01]: The plethora of betting or how they would say, they wouldn't say betting, they would say, you get a chance to take your chance on these games, right? 17:33.204 --> 17:39.906 [SPEAKER_01]: They don't want to cut a bad betting, but sports books rely on these things and people 17:48.990 --> 17:51.350 [SPEAKER_01]: So, Kyle, why is this important? 17:51.811 --> 17:53.271 [SPEAKER_01]: Glad you asked. 17:53.291 --> 17:58.292 [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, it's important that the enticement is always going to be there and it continued to be there. 17:58.992 --> 18:04.753 [SPEAKER_01]: And this is the second, such case they hit the HBCUs. 18:05.153 --> 18:13.415 [SPEAKER_01]: There was a case was a last season or a season before last with North Carolina AT players. 18:14.846 --> 18:17.349 [SPEAKER_01]: fixing or allegedly fixing games. 18:18.329 --> 18:30.741 [SPEAKER_01]: And then you have, I think there was an HBCU player from Texas Southern that got involved with it, but it was before he got to Texas Southern that he was involved with. 18:32.523 --> 18:32.883 [SPEAKER_01]: with that. 18:32.943 --> 18:35.124 [SPEAKER_01]: So guys, it's not a good look. 18:35.425 --> 18:36.445 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not good to have. 18:37.266 --> 18:42.668 [SPEAKER_01]: And hopefully, we can come to some better resolutions when it comes to this. 18:43.309 --> 18:43.729 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay? 18:44.229 --> 18:46.050 [SPEAKER_01]: And going forward, now, the SWAT. 18:46.670 --> 18:52.794 [SPEAKER_01]: SWAT reveals some great games that they have that's going to be on ESPN. 18:53.594 --> 18:53.914 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm 18:59.879 --> 19:07.044 [SPEAKER_01]: And Swack deal was supposed to be over in 2,000 February 2025, I believe. 19:07.985 --> 19:14.330 [SPEAKER_01]: Somehow, they may have entered into a new contract with ESPN. 19:15.510 --> 19:19.073 [SPEAKER_01]: Now, people say about Kyle, why would the Swack do this? 19:20.134 --> 19:25.237 [SPEAKER_01]: When they have the Swack TV app at this time? 19:26.759 --> 19:27.639 [SPEAKER_01]: That's a good question. 19:27.819 --> 19:28.660 [SPEAKER_01]: It's a fair question. 19:29.717 --> 19:30.717 [SPEAKER_01]: Swank TV out. 19:31.778 --> 19:32.958 [SPEAKER_01]: You bring in revenue. 19:33.138 --> 19:35.940 [SPEAKER_01]: You generate revenue and monetize your home product. 19:37.420 --> 19:38.841 [SPEAKER_01]: Control your own product. 19:40.281 --> 19:41.582 [SPEAKER_01]: Respect your own product. 19:43.563 --> 19:46.724 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, they gave them 19:48.780 --> 20:08.505 [SPEAKER_01]: think they gave them 13 premium games with a lot of the classics as well as they're going to kick off the Labor Day classic on Sunday morning at 11 a.m. Up in Prairie View and I think 20:10.285 --> 20:17.471 [SPEAKER_01]: 80 golf, he had an interview with Terry Harris of the defender here in the Houston area. 20:18.531 --> 20:36.265 [SPEAKER_01]: And he defended why they should go ahead with the game, changes are a part of scheduling and just because fans don't like it, it's going to be on a Sunday, never been on a Sunday before. 20:36.485 --> 20:39.628 [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be on the early Sunday morning, 11 o'clock. 20:40.842 --> 21:08.595 [SPEAKER_01]: some people want to say hey man you mess with our churches well some of the young people said hey we're just getting up just getting rolling from the parties from the night before all that's fair but does 80 golf handle point where it's going to be the only football game at that time 21:09.995 --> 21:34.263 [SPEAKER_01]: on the Sunday morning, nationally televised, no, well, it's going to be on ESPN 2, 2, yeah, ESPN 2, now ESPN and it's the, if I'm correct, to me in Jackson, Coach Jackson, say, it's because of the exposure, it's the exposure. 21:35.275 --> 21:42.039 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking, man, we would talk about exposure years ago with this ESPN trial. 21:42.059 --> 21:44.500 [SPEAKER_01]: We want to be on ESPN because

it's exposure. 21:45.421 --> 21:47.982 [SPEAKER_01]: You heard that me at talk, oh, it's the exposure. 21:48.002 --> 21:54.966 [SPEAKER_01]: We like to expose your, man, look, if you have your own product, you don't have your own SWAC TV product. 21:56.797 --> 21:58.358 [SPEAKER_01]: what more expose you do you need. 21:58.458 --> 22:09.221 [SPEAKER_01]: It gives you the same streaming capabilities to look at your game on your phone through your app through your computer through tablets. 22:10.942 --> 22:16.184 [SPEAKER_01]: And don't tell me people don't have all of that even I even know older people have it. 22:18.838 --> 22:30.302 [SPEAKER_01]: So we've got to get away from this exposure, exposing on ESPN does not mean that it translates into dollars for the conference. 22:32.363 --> 22:33.364 [SPEAKER_01]: Kyle, what do you mean? 22:33.484 --> 22:44.928 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, when Dr. McClellan and as well as some of these reports that I'll put out there publicly, there's not 22:47.577 --> 22:52.239 [SPEAKER_01]: any mention about ad revenue share that was given from ESP. 22:55.560 --> 22:57.541 [SPEAKER_01]: Most networks do that with conferences. 22:59.722 --> 23:01.943 [SPEAKER_01]: The share in the ad net revenue. 23:04.004 --> 23:08.665 [SPEAKER_01]: We hosted, of course, we should get something from it, but we share in the ad revenue. 23:09.766 --> 23:11.106 [SPEAKER_01]: Has the swag done that? 23:13.447 --> 23:15.128 [SPEAKER_01]: Have they been a part of that? 23:17.493 --> 23:18.434 [SPEAKER_01]: Nobody knows. 23:19.955 --> 23:21.276 [SPEAKER_01]: Nobody can kneel it down. 23:22.897 --> 23:24.038 [SPEAKER_01]: Nobody's for certain. 23:25.479 --> 23:36.107 [SPEAKER_01]: So, has the swag been hooked with, then booze, run a muck by the ESPN guys, because if the ESPN guys 23:37.361 --> 24:04.353 [SPEAKER_01]: respected our product they would go to the Swack up front say hey man when we do these up front in New York and tell people about the beautiful games in the HBCUs from football to basketball to baseball we're going to say Sharon knows that revenues and it should be high give them a share of the product. 24:07.216 --> 24:12.178 [SPEAKER_01]: of the revenue, whatever, guys, am I being wrong or not? 24:13.258 --> 24:25.723 [SPEAKER_01]: Shouldn't why aren't we keeping the same old mindset that we need exposure versus we need control? 24:31.865 --> 24:32.345 [SPEAKER_01]: Control. 24:34.693 --> 24:50.341 [SPEAKER_01]: Tremaine Jackson told this to me when we were talking about the reason why we don't have many of our own HBCU talent drafted in the National Football League. 24:51.361 --> 24:58.305 [SPEAKER_01]: Now they'll sign them as undrafted free agents, but why don't we have them drafted? 25:05.416 --> 25:09.399 [SPEAKER_01]: He said, count until we respect our own product. 25:12.641 --> 25:14.021 [SPEAKER_01]: Nobody's going to respect us. 25:15.162 --> 25:18.364 [SPEAKER_01]: The same is true about television, is it not? 25:19.225 --> 25:31.593 [SPEAKER_01]: Until we respect our own product and have enough gumption to say, hey, man, you're not going to share more money with us. 25:32.385 --> 25:37.166 [SPEAKER_01]: We'll take our product and try to share our own money, make our own inroads. 25:37.926 --> 25:42.167 [SPEAKER_01]: That's why the Swank TV app has to be a success. 25:43.108 --> 25:53.970 [SPEAKER_01]: We want it to be a success, because that could be the model for success for the meat, for the CIWA, for the SIAC. 25:55.691 --> 25:57.251 [SPEAKER_01]: That's why this is important. 25:58.351 --> 26:01.172 [SPEAKER_01]: That's why we got to be able to say to ourselves 26:02.997 --> 26:10.639 [SPEAKER_01]: bending down, or getting on the knees, saying, thank you, yes, be for allowing you, we're allowing you to show our product. 26:10.999 --> 26:12.679 [SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, thank you so much. 26:12.859 --> 26:18.480 [SPEAKER_01]: Man, get off our knees and stop groveling to them because we have a great product. 26:19.280 --> 26:27.122 [SPEAKER_01]: It's a product that they've been taking advantage of for such a long time and that pain I'll do share. 26:27.982 --> 26:32.063 [SPEAKER_01]: Our conferences should not be wanting the way they're wanting. 26:33.597 --> 26:34.398 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to say it again. 26:35.139 --> 26:41.166 [SPEAKER_01]: Our conferences are suffering from a lack of vision. 26:42.608 --> 26:46.532 [SPEAKER_01]: Now, Dr. McClellan had a great vision with the SWAT TV. 26:49.240 --> 27:05.744 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand why we had to give up part of a major part of that vision when it came to the SWAC TV schedule or this season because if you look at the 50 games from the SWAC TV schedule for 2026, that's still some good games. 27:10.455 --> 27:20.766 [SPEAKER_01]: First week of the year on the 29th, you got Clark Atlantic going to Gramlin, you got Albany State going to FAMU, which you can call that the Queen Grabo, right? 27:21.186 --> 27:31.977 [SPEAKER_01]: He's ain't got more house and UAPB, but some of the better games were cherry picked by ESPN. 27:33.905 --> 27:43.467 [SPEAKER_01]: That Labor Day Classic, and also following follow-wing the Labor Day Classic is the Orange Blossom Classic. 27:44.388 --> 27:59.171 [SPEAKER_01]: If that's going to be on ABC, they give Orange Blossom Classic after the past five seasons or they give in their money to be able to produce it. 28:03.774 --> 28:06.355 [SPEAKER_01]: See, years ago, a lot of people don't realize this. 28:07.176 --> 28:08.136 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm going to say it. 28:09.717 --> 28:26.686 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, the years ago, in BC was making southern grambling, paid them, I believe, it was $2 million to produce the value class again to show it nationally. 28:27.826 --> 28:29.627 [SPEAKER_01]: It should have been vice versa. 28:29.767 --> 28:31.348 [SPEAKER_01]: We need to pay you guys. 28:32.799 --> 28:37.243 [SPEAKER_01]: because we're in our advertising, we're getting more

than $2 million. 28:39.865 --> 28:44.989 [SPEAKER_01]: We need to pay you, HBCUs who have been disenfranchised. 28:46.731 --> 28:52.656 [SPEAKER_01]: You, HBCUs who are suffering and have a lack of resources. 28:55.959 --> 28:57.059 [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for putting 28:58.040 --> 29:01.541 [SPEAKER_01]: your production on our network. 29:01.961 --> 29:04.662 [SPEAKER_01]: See, you don't hear enough of that from ESPN. 29:05.382 --> 29:09.484 [SPEAKER_01]: You don't hear enough of that from NBC, ABC, or whomever. 29:12.645 --> 29:16.326 [SPEAKER_01]: Now, cow, what about the celebration bull? 29:16.606 --> 29:19.787 [SPEAKER_01]: What about the, the mexwack? 29:20.307 --> 29:21.308 [SPEAKER_01]: Kick off challenge. 29:21.628 --> 29:25.209 [SPEAKER_01]: That's ESPN events and that's John Grant. 29:28.138 --> 29:31.737 [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, he believes in it, he believes in the product. 29:37.237 --> 29:47.805 [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, so box let me get off, but I'm just saying out the 50 TV scheduled games that's going to be on the app. 29:48.345 --> 29:49.066 [SPEAKER_01]: Guys watch them. 29:49.086 --> 29:55.070 [SPEAKER_01]: They got some pretty good games that's going to be on there, especially toward the end of the season. 29:55.590 --> 29:57.172 [SPEAKER_01]: I think Texas Southern, man. 29:57.192 --> 29:57.612 [SPEAKER_01]: They kind of 30:07.167 --> 30:15.309 [SPEAKER_01]: The next week, Southern, and Texas Southern, then Grandland State, at Texas Southern, a couple of weeks later. 30:15.869 --> 30:17.689 [SPEAKER_01]: That's huge for Texas Southern. 30:17.749 --> 30:34.893 [SPEAKER_01]: Then the following week, Alabama State, and your body comes back home to play Texas Southern before he departs from playing collegiate football. 30:37.076 --> 30:57.235 [SPEAKER_01]: exciting exciting exciting we get to see some good games now then I'm going to be in that's something that we really haven't touched on Texas Southern failed to be able to schedule their games properly with shell energy 30:59.020 --> 31:14.904 [SPEAKER_01]: stadium and now they have to go up to the high school field in Aldeen who the athletic director over Aldeen's schools is a tax Southern alum. 31:15.084 --> 31:19.705 [SPEAKER_01]: So he was gracious enough to help with the scheduling and have the games there. 31:24.404 --> 31:27.266 [SPEAKER_01]: When will Texas Southern hire an interim? 31:27.867 --> 31:29.608 [SPEAKER_01]: Me, no, I take that back. 31:29.628 --> 31:30.829 [SPEAKER_01]: They have hired an interim. 31:31.150 --> 31:33.592 [SPEAKER_01]: When will they hire a AD? 31:36.874 --> 31:40.057 [SPEAKER_01]: When will they hire a basketball coach?

36:21.238 --> 36:22.278 [SPEAKER_01]: Those are good questions. 36:22.879 --> 36:36.085 [SPEAKER_01]: Because I'm pretty sure there's some black-owned firm out there that would have been willing to partner with SWACTV and be able to get into this strategic, limited partnership. 36:37.605 --> 37:03.165 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, so MMC has been involved with good deals before, with Sinclair, with television, Unison, as well as, you know, take that back, television, you know, vision, as well as A plus E, global media, they've worked out some good deals with those guys, right?

37:20.634 --> 37:30.278 [SPEAKER_01]: Or is this going to really help SwiTV to become a numbers generating broadcast heavyweight in the industry? 37:32.049 --> 37:33.810 [SPEAKER_01]: we shall see. 37:34.851 --> 37:46.399 [SPEAKER_01]: From the press relief, Dr. McClellan said the swag is extremely excited to partner with M.C. 37:47.620 --> 37:51.962 [SPEAKER_01]: and we continue to span our reach and impact of SWAC TV. 37:52.263 --> 38:05.449 [SPEAKER_01]: The partnership represents a tremendous opportunity to connect innovative brands with one of the most passionate loyal and culturally influential audiences in collegiate athletics. 38:05.910 --> 38:12.973 [SPEAKER_01]: Now, if EMC is only there to be able to put money in 38:17.477 --> 38:33.766 [SPEAKER_01]: other brands out there in the marketplace that's got to be have been some sort of black own entity in the advertising world or private equity world that could have done this as well. 38:36.067 --> 38:37.468 [SPEAKER_01]: Why are you hopping on this, Kyle?
