A: This NCAA basketball tournament generates analogue close to a billion dollars, maybe more than a billion dollars?
B:Well, we pay 11 billion dollars for it, and my concern is I don't think you can pay college players, because you can not pay to football and basketball, you gotta pay to women scenes, so that's why I don't think you can pay, pay these players. But I think we have a moral obligation to make sure these players graduate from college. How are you gonna have a good job and raise your family if you're uneducated?
A: Right.
B:And first of all, it's personal responsibility, but you're talking about young kids who all think they're gonna go to the pros and not, and very small, small percent…
A: Tiny percent...
B:Tiny percent, less than one percent.
A: When did you graduate?
B:You know, well, I'm working on it, I'm working on it, man,
A: You're still working on it?
B:I am.
A: Oh, good for you.
B:I've been thinking about going back, gain my degree.
A: Why not?
B:You know, they, just the truth of the matter is I'm just loaded. And...
A: Oh, ok, alright.
B:You know it won't help me.
A: Ok, ok, alright, I understand, it really will be a waste of time.
B:Yeah, it would be a waste of my time
A: Yeah, that’s right.
