I am Alex Dono from Lockdown-Kane's. We will talk about changes that are coming to the transfer portal and recruiting. The NCAA is getting rid of the National Letter of Intent system and what that means going forward. We will talk about the most impactful ACC games of Week 7. It's kind of a light week. Five teams are on biweeks this week.

Starting point is 00:01:09 But Kenton, we have to start with the big national story. This Project Rudy proposal is basically a tweaked version, and I think a better version of the Super League reports that we were talking about a few months back. This was first reported on by Yahoo Sports, who seems to be breaking most of the news lately on big seismic stuff in college football. It involves a 70 team, essentially Super League, but we're not going to call it a Super League. But KG, I think the big difference here is it would keep the power conferences intact rather than just like basically reinventing the entire sport as we know it. Absolutely.

Starting point is 00:01:52 It would keep the power conferences intact as well as bring regionality back. That is something that with all due respect to Cal of Stanford, Nesson, you. I'm glad that you're here. I'm happy that you're here. So please don't take this the wrong way. I know you're listening. You know, I love you, brother. I know, you know, Cal, Berkeley, y'all good in my book.

Starting point is 00:02:10 Y'all are always going to be good in my book. Same for Stanford, same for SMU. But there is something about those regional rivalries. And granted, our rivalries down, don't have not been interrupted, right? Inslee State and the Dirty Foot Club every year, Thanksgiving is happening. It's going down. Hey, I don't like you. You don't like me.

Starting point is 00:02:29 Let's meet at the 50 about Florida State, Miami. Every year, it's going to happen. I don't like you. you don't like me, let's meet at the 50 about it. Great. But there are so many robberies that were disrupted by this thing in a meaningful way, including some of our new partners in SMU and TCU. How did that happen? How did that get interrupted?

Starting point is 00:02:49 You know? And we look at many other robberies throughout the country in some major colleges where it's like, where did that go? So I'm excited about that. But the biggest thing I'm excited about is this is not a traditional private equity kind of situation, right? where it's like, hey, you're getting a group. It was a lot like what I said about, I can't remember who it was,

Starting point is 00:03:09 but it was a private equity guy who was also a Florida State alum who had played football with Florida State. I was going to do the injection for Florida State. And I'm like, that makes sense because he has an incentive to like, hey, I feel great pride in this thing. I need to look out and take care of it instead of gut it. I don't want to be known as the guy who gutted my alma mater's team that on the same field that I bled on it.

Starting point is 00:03:29 I fought on that. I broke limbs and did all the things on. So I think it's a good. thing that's slightly different. And last point, and I'll pass to you after this, Jack Swarbeck is involved, and I trust him. I trust Jack Swarbeck a lot. He has earned the equity in my book to say he cares enough about college football to where if he is involved in a meaningful way, I believe it's what's best for the game, honestly and truly. So here's some of the details on Project Rudy. And yeah, it is a reference to Rudy Rudiger, which again, with Swarbrick being

Starting point is 00:04:01 involved, it's not surprising they would go that route. Although I think if this goes anywhere, they're probably not going to be able to officially call it Project, Rudy, because apparently that's the name of an active wear sunglasses company, which probably wouldn't be, you know, too happy if this became an official thing, at least in terms of the name. So this is a part of Ross Dellinger's report on Yahoo Sports. Over the summer, as college administrators scrambled to unearth new cash for the onset of athlete revenue sharing, remember that's about to be a thing, A spelt bespectacled man visited with leaders at some of the most high profile athletic departments in the country. He presented to them his solution for the unwieldy entity of college football.

Starting point is 00:04:44 It's called Project Rudy. Quote, his claim is that everybody will be saved, said one power conference director. As SEC and Big Ten leaders prepared to meet Wednesday and Thursday, today and tomorrow in Nashville for a historic summit of the industry's two powers, There is an unreported undercurrent driving the discussion, and that's Project Rudy, spearheaded, like you mentioned, Kenton, by former Disney executives turned investment professionals. Project Rudy is a Super League S concept, separate and more simplified than the one made public last week, that incorporates football programs of the power four conferences in a 70 team structure. The model preserves the four power conferences, expands the postseason, overhaul scheduling, tiers. tiers revenue distribution and most importantly infuses as much as $9 billion of private capital cash into the system. And a lot of the quotes about this Kenton were anonymous.

Starting point is 00:05:42 Actually, one of the few non-anonymous quotes was actually from Miami's athletic director, Dan Radicovic, who is in favor of this. Now, obviously, based on the separation that's being created between the Big Ten and the SEC versus the Big 12. the ACC, you'd probably figure ACC and Big 12 administrators would probably be more favorable to this because it's more of a lifeboat for them that it is to the SEC and of the Big 10. But with that in mind, Radikovic, the Miami AD said, of all the ideas I've seen, this one makes the most sense. Conferences are kept intact. Commissioners still have an important and valuable role.

Starting point is 00:06:23 And there is the ability for schools to make increased money from bigger matchups and more playoff games. And that part of this, Kenton, that I also would like is this would eliminate FBS versus FCS football matchups, which never really made a whole lot of sense to me. And they can be downright dangerous when you've gotten certain FCS schools going up against, you know, big time power teams. And those matchups obviously don't really move the needle with the general public anyway. So if they can get rid of that stuff, I'm fine with it. And you know, you're looking at a situation where each team is getting hundreds or tens of millions of dollars from this deal. This isn't a deal where guys are sitting around. I mean, if you're dividing

Starting point is 00:07:09 $9 billion by $70,000, everybody's walking away with, and let me make sure I got these figures right here, $128 million. That is, that's an amount. That's an amount. Like, you know, everybody, walks away a little bit better for this thing. And I would say the only way that this does not go through is if the two conferences that are kind of big bro and everybody right now is like, actually, I don't want to have everybody be on the same playing field.

Starting point is 00:07:44 We enjoy being big brother. But it's cutting off your nose to spite your face because in the end, we are headed towards a very, a situation where nobody is going to be able to survive this thing without some type of infusion, without some type of help, without some type of love.

Starting point is 00:08:03 Because at some point in time, let's just say that, hey, how many teams is in both of those conferences? Let's say 15 each, let's say an average of 16 or 17. So let's say those 34 or 30 teams don't join in. What if they drop a billion or two off a project, Rudy, and still give them to the Big 12 and the ACC? Then you're behind now.

Starting point is 00:08:27 You're behind and all they had to give up was the naming rights. Well, oh, now every game is the Disney such and so. Or now every game is the Rudy Project bowl game. You know, it's so I look at this thing and I say to myself, this is not only impactful because the ACC is objectively behind. I think this is objectively a good thing for college football in terms of, again, it's not typical private equity where you have no connection to this thing other than what is my return. You have football people, not just football people, college football people who want to

Starting point is 00:09:03 see college football thrive combined with private equity saying, hey, listen, how do we make this work? How do we make this work for everybody? Let's figure out a way, let's get it done. Yeah, and people need, I know that some people are kind of making fun of the quote about how this is going to save everybody, but let's remember, schools are going to have to come up with a lot of extra money once the revenue sharing becomes a thing. And so this is why something like Project Rudy, I believe is necessary. Here's a good ex post that sums it up very well on Project Rudy. It brings back regionality, like Kenton mentioned. It kills those boring FBS versus FCS games, like I mentioned, creates more big matchups in the regular season, pays out an unequal revenue share based on winning, and it

Starting point is 00:09:50 keeps the Big Ten SEC from leaving the rest of the sport behind. And then that, Kent, and that last part sums up what you said, that if something like Project Rudy does not pass, maybe the biggest obstacle would be convincing the Big Ten and the SEC that, hey, even though the other conferences will get a bigger benefit from this additional benefit than you guys get, they need to convince them that this is best for everybody. Yeah. And I think that, you know, when I look at this proposal, even beyond that recap of it, right, everything that I've seen from this proposal appears to be, hey, this is a much needed shot in the arm.

Starting point is 00:10:28 And even beyond what the proposal is, I'm a big believer in what's the alternative. Like I've seen plenty of times in life, people say, oh, this thing is too expensive or, oh, how do we buy it? How do we buy it? How do we pay for it? And I understand that if it's a luxury, right? If we're talking about a silk shirt, sure, we can talk about the price of that, hey, you may not, you may not be able to wear the Gucci silk shirt out to the party. What do you freaking do?

Starting point is 00:10:55 But if we're talking about keeping a roof over here, now that's a different thing. Now we're talking about how you're going to eat. That's a different thing where you can't say, hey, this may be too expensive. It may cost too much or the price may be too much in terms of what we're willing to give up to get private equity. The alternative is what if you don't do that?

Starting point is 00:11:15 The alternative is, okay, sure. You don't give up naming rights. You don't give up whatever it is that private equity may ask. sure, then what's your answer? How do you survive? Yeah, no. Well, well, well, we'll take a look at the Atlantic Coast Conference when we come back because there's a few games.

Starting point is 00:11:32 We like to look every week at the games that are going to be the most impactful for the conference standings. And we've got at least a couple of those this week. You want to keep it locked right here. Kent and Gibbs from Locked on Wolfpack. I'm Alex Dono from Lockdown Canes. We are only getting started on this brand new episode of Lockdown ACC. We're only getting started on Fan Duel.

Starting point is 00:11:54 guys, we have been winning money this college football season. You've got some good ones on the schedule this weekend. The Clemson Tigers are 20-point favorites at Wake Forest. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, five-point favorites at North Carolina, Pittsburgh.

Starting point is 00:12:51 Make sure you also check out Locked on College Football. It's an awesome channel. Our guy Kent and Gibbs hosts a show on that channel as well, the three-point stance. And Spencer McLaughlin does an awesome job. Locked-on college football, available free, wherever you get your podcasts, and available free on YouTube. So, Kent, I don't know if it's just because, like,

Starting point is 00:13:10 I just watched Cal last week in the middle of the night against Miami in a thrilling football game. And, you know, of course, our guy Lawrence Ross is a great friend of the show. And I've also been captivated by the Pitt Panthers, who are finally ranked as they deserve to be. number 22 in the country, 5 and O. Cal's looking to bounce back from that Miami game. Cal's looking to win their first ACC game. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:13:35 I feel like 22nd ranked Pittsburgh against, you know, unranked Cal. Is that the game you think is the most impactful to the ACC this week? Because I'm leading that way. Oh, absolutely. It's the game that's most impactful, but it's not the game where we stand to learn the most. That game will have the biggest ramifications on the ACC landscape going forward in terms of is Pitt for real? Are they a serious team? What's going on there?

Starting point is 00:14:01 Because in all seriousness, Pitt is still undefeated in conference. Like let's make no bones about that. There's no exaggeration or hyperbole there. Like that's just what it is. But with that being said, you look around the conference at the rest of the game, Clemson of Wake Forest. I mean, is it going to be impactful? Even if Wake Forest finds a way to pull off the upset, how impactful would that be to the ACC landscape at? large if you believe Clemson runs the table the rest of the way. Georgia Tech, UNC, let's be for real here. Stanford and Notre Dame, not even an conference game.

Starting point is 00:14:36 We're talking about Calum Pitt, Louisville, Virginia. Again, even if Louisville. That's an under the radar game, though, because Virginia is better than anyone realizes. They're four and one on the year. And here's what I will say, and this is why that is my game that will teach us the most about the conference. Because in that game, we have the opportunity. to see both of these teams in terms of who the hell are you really?

Starting point is 00:15:01 Who are you when you got to get up off the match? And also, Virginia is 2 and O in conference. You've looked up and you're saying, and granted, you're 2 and O against Wake Forest and Boston College, but this is Virginia for crying out loud. And we thought Boston College was good. I think Boston College is good. I'm going to say that's a quality win. I will leave it at quality win.

Starting point is 00:15:26 But I will say this. I will say this. Tony Elliott has that team rolling in the right direction. They have absolutely done what needs to be done. And this is so surprising for me because when they lost to Maryland, I said, ah, there's the Virginia we know in love. Wake Forest is just terrible, but there's the Virginia we know and love. But that team, credit to them, they've gotten up off the map.

Starting point is 00:15:48 And credit to Tony Elliott, because you and I both said their best chance at winning this season, Calandra has to be your guy. but not only does he have to be your guy, he has to be your guy through, as Frankie Beverly Mae said, joy and pain, sunshine, and rain. And it was a little bit of rain,

Starting point is 00:16:10 and Tony Elliott stuck with Calandria. So credit to him for that, because it was necessary, not only for his confidence, but for the team's confidence and for team cohesion to say, you know what, we don't give a damn.

Starting point is 00:16:21 You're going to have a bad game or two. We're going to keep rocking with it, and to his credit, he's done that. So that's why I say that's the game that we will learn the most from because most likely I think Louisville wins this game. But if they lose that game, if they lose that game, you and I are not really mentioning Louisville as the third best team right now. Like neither one of us are. So I don't think that does a ton to the picture. But again, you're looking at a situation where we don't have that many ACC games this week.

Starting point is 00:16:49 And of course, Syracuse and NC State, that's another game where you stand alert a little bit. Because for all of the wins that Syracuse's had, I have asked everybody, who is the good Power 14 that they play? And nobody's given me an answer yet. Nobody's been able to give me an answer. And I get it. UNLV looked very good without their former start quarterback.

Starting point is 00:17:10 I get it. I understand. Sluca gone. No Michael Allen, no problem. Sure. At the end of the day, that's still a Power 14. Now, that was the first time ever, ever being ranked. So, you know, there's that.

Starting point is 00:17:22 So I look at this and I say, Donald, you're absolutely right. This pit game is where we have the most bang for our buck in terms of how much are we going to learn about a team this week and what means the most to the conference. But going back to Louisville for a second, now, if they do lose to Virginia, that'll be three straight losses for them. And if they find a way to lose this game and I think they'll win, but Virginia is not a pushover in my opinion. But I think Louisville will win. But if they don't win this game, I'm going to call Louisville. the biggest, the most underachieving team in the conference right now? Because listen, man, they make a couple less mistakes.

Starting point is 00:18:00 They beat Notre Dame on the road. They, in some ways, they outplayed Notre Dame, but Notre Dame outplayed them in the sense that they didn't make the fatal mistakes. They managed the game. Louisville didn't, right? Right. You know, they belonged on the same field with SMU. A lot of their problems have been self-inflicted.

Starting point is 00:18:19 I would imagine if they lose to Virginia, it probably means they're making more mistakes in Virginia because, listen, Kenton, I've been watching Louisville all year. That's a good football team. Like I think they're better than their four and two record would indicate. So if they lose this week, I'm going to call them the biggest underachievers in the conference. And, you know, going back to the Cal Pittsburgh game, you know, you brought up, you know, wondering if Pitt is really for real, you know, because they've got a registered freshman quarterback Eli Holstein who's been playing out of his mind.

Starting point is 00:18:47 And I wonder how Cal is going to respond because, you know, no matter, you know, we disagree. on that targeting call or no call. But no matter how you slice it, that was heartbreak city. Like that was heartbreak for Cal. How do you respond to that? Because you can either, you know, allow that to kind of derail your season

Starting point is 00:19:05 or you can bounce back like, you know, you've got a fire lit under you. I wonder how they're going to respond from that. You're absolutely right. Whether or not you agree on the targeting, whether or not you agree, one thing that I will always agree on with anybody is in the,

Starting point is 00:19:22 objective truth is an objective truth. The objective truth about whether or not they call targeted, whether or not they should have called. The objective truth, it didn't get called. The objective truth, you punted the ball. The objective truth, you blew a coverage, left Xavier a strepah wide open. The objective truth can work through a touchdown to win that football game. You cannot argue that.

Starting point is 00:19:43 You can sure, cry about it, scream about it, be mad about it, be moaned the ACC reps. You could denigrate them and talk about them. call them everything but a child of cop and guess what that clock still reads all zeros and Miami still has more points than you yeah and and I've seen and sorry to interrupt you but I've seen the way like emotional losses like that like yeah yes the Cal linebackerulu Ave who made like every freaking tackle in the game that dude was all over the field yeah I see I see him on the sidelines crying at the end of the game like that that was heartbreak for Cal so

Starting point is 00:20:18 seeing how they come back from that you know on one week they've got to travel all the way across the country to Pittsburgh it's going to be interesting yeah and and you know I look at this game and I say to myself hey the only benefit that comes into this game for Cal is the fact that both of these teams are good and because both of these teams are good this game ends up being played in a 3 30 time slot instead of being played in a noon time slot because if this game is in a noon time slot you're coming across the country and you're playing at what is a quintessential. 9 a.m. for you? That's tough. A little hairy. But if you come across the country to play

Starting point is 00:20:57 at what's noon instead of what's 9 a.m., they'll have a better shot at it. They'll have a better shot of fixing it. The biggest thing here is, like you said, we're going to find out who Cal is because we have not seen them get knocked down on the mat in this heartbreaking of fashion already this year. That lost to Florida State. It was a weird loss. It was a bad loss, you kind of, you know, like you don't sit there and have the argument of, well, Florida State and the reps took it from us. No, you lost that game. They were better than you on that day. So if you want to be the team that you're supposed to be, you let go of that loss.

Starting point is 00:21:37 You say, hey, forget the loss. We're moving on. We're not going to burn the tape because we got some good stuff out of that. And we learn things we need to clean up. But we're moving the hell on. And that's all we're going to do. You know, and you can be that team or you can be that team to let's one loss turn or not. to two, and two turn into three, and three turn into four, and four get you a call from the

Starting point is 00:21:56 AD. You don't want to be that team. Well, speaking of moving on, the NCAA is moving on from a 60, excuse me, a 60 year rule and tradition. It's the end of an era, and here's what happens next. You guys want to keep it locked right here. We're not done yet on this brand new episode of Locked on ACC.

Starting point is 00:23:28 What time is it? It's game time. Thank you for making Lockdown ACC, your first listen and your first watch today. For your next listen, make sure you check out our other shows. Kenton and Grayson do an awesome job on Locked on Wolfpack covering NC State. I cover Miami at Locked on Cains. And, you know, Kenton, we all, we cover recruiting and transfer portal on our shows. And this is going to be changing.

Starting point is 00:23:54 So the NCAA Division I Council, this is per ESPN. They have approved the immediate elimination of the National Letter of Intent Program, which has been around since 1964. So the NLI program, National Letter of Intent, has existed as the formal binding agreement between prospective athletes and college programs for the past 60 years. Now, if you're wondering if whatever they're doing next is some revolutionary change, it's not as big of a change as you think, but it is paving the way. for revenue sharing because I think the next big thing that's going to emerge is some sort of a

Starting point is 00:24:34 contract to include that revenue sharing in the future. But what's happening in the meantime is the National Letter of Intent will be replaced by a new financial aid agreement that will provide many of the same core functions as the NLI and will likely be tied to a contract related to an impending revenue sharing model across college athletics. And then part B of this Kenton, which I think is a more it's a more dramatic change in all this. Under the new rules, transfer athletes will be allowed to sign with a new school after they've formally entered the portal. So they don't have to wait until a signing period. Once a prospect has signed a written offer of athletic aid, other schools will be prohibited from recruiting communications.

Starting point is 00:25:19 So that's going to cut down on some of that tampering, right? Because we've seen last couple of years, a guy agrees to go to a team in the transfer portal. they might flip that commitment one, two, three times. Now they can sign right away. Yeah, and I will tell you this. I'm glad that it clears away for contracts, and I'm going to tell you something. I think that teams need to be very realistic about where they are.

Starting point is 00:25:44 The players are appearing to have the power, and I don't want to say the players have too much power, but what I will say is all these players don't have good counsel in their ear. all these players do not have people telling them what's best for them in their ear. And even beyond that, there is too much opakness in terms of back room agreements and deals. And well, we saw with a team that we talked about earlier on UNLB, did we get paid, where the expectations met, whatever the case may be. It's too much of that.

Starting point is 00:26:18 It's too much. We saw it with Rashada. We saw it with some other situations. I want everybody put it in writing. Put it in ink, put it in plain black and white to say, hey, this is, this is, you know, in the words of Dr. Phil, this is your man. Look at it. This is your man. And you're going to stick us up, you know, and that's what this should be. It should be, hey, this is their agreement and I have a legally bonding thing with you. I'm going to tell you, it took me to much too late in life to understand it's not just about a man's word and what you think and all that.

Starting point is 00:26:51 This is a different ballgame when you're talking about feeding your family, when you're talking about life-changing money. It's a very, very different ball game. And so with that ballgame changing, we needed this change and we needed to change our processes around what these teams look like. And last thing, and I'm going to pass back to you. I'm honestly excited about this for the players because I believe now you can lock in four-year security and throw something on top of that.

Starting point is 00:27:21 You can now lock that in to where, I mean, you can recruit over me. you still got to pay me what you agreed to pay me. That's just what it is. You know, I might not get the land yop in the, oh, I might not get Circle K to pay me more. I may not be able to get a safe light to pay me more, but you got to pay what you all. And that's all there is to it. That is all there is to it. And they're also going to be shortening a transfer portal window from 45 days to 30 days, which I think is fine. I mean, whatever eliminates some of the shenanigans and the tampering is good for us. before we sign off, I want to wish prayers and blessings to everyone who's in basically the entire state of Florida as I am.

Starting point is 00:28:02 I mean, listen, I'm not, you know, I'm not worried about my family or anything like that. We've taken the necessary measures to change our location and make sure we're safe. But, you know, if you know anybody who's in like a mandatory evacuation zone and they don't want to do it, please encourage them to do so because Milton, Milton appears to be no joke. I'll be praying for everyone. And Kent and I, again, like, don't worry about my safety and my family. We will be okay. Thank God.

Starting point is 00:28:31 I just, I don't know when we're going to talk again because I don't know what my electricity situation is going to be for the next couple of weeks. So we'll figure something out. But if you want you guys to take a good look at this face, because you may not see it for a little while. I mean, listen, whichever way you cut it slice it, Donald, you know you're my brother from another mother and I've got multiple friends in that area that are going to be impacted. Please stay safe to the best of your ability, right? We know that everybody doesn't have the, you know, friends, family, you know, necessary

Starting point is 00:29:03 infrastructure to go super far, whatever the case may be, please be as safe as you can be. Yeah. You know, it's I get it. Everybody wants everybody wants to be safe to a certain degree and certain others, you know, they, there's the bravado of I can ride this out. I've written out everyone before. I'm telling you right now, again, protect yourself. Protect yourself to the best of your ability.
