college basketball is that these are young man who have math class, biology cat class at the same time. they are not professionals. so i also realize at this moment that this is something some of them will never achieve. they will never play on this stage basketball, 99% of the players that are playing today so i don t evaluate them the same way. you know, i expect certain criteria and excellence from nba players. but i also expect a certain passion and exuberance that i would see in ncaa that i would trade off for scalable. and i also, that is how i look at the game. so when i am critiquing the game, i am not critiquing it for a professional point of view. i am critiquing it from enthusiasm and energy point of view more than anything else. jay baylis, you have heard,
these presales going on so i tend to think it ll go a little bit more smoothly than the last one although there will still be people who are unhappy. trace: the last one was a fiasco. people are talking, you have to break up livenation, ticketmaster. i m wondering, do you think that will eventually save people money? would it save them or get them tickets easier? what are your thoughts on that? i guess it eventually means 10 years, 15 years i honestly haven t been a big proponent of the idea of completely surgically breaking this thing up because i come from the music industry and see a music ecosystem. i know how it works. i think it s probably unrealistic in the short term so, no. but i do think over time if they can free up those exclusivities between these venues and the ticketing services then, yes, it s good to have more competition that s in there. i will say this, biggest platform, most scalable, the artists are turning to it. they re not coming out and supporting it in a
