00:00 Well, I mean, yeah, coach would have a preference of going.
00:04 If you ended up losing a season, you would certainly want to look at being able
00:09 to go above 85 with commitments.
00:11 You already have seniors that may or may not return.
00:14 It's a complex issue.
00:16 I do think the simplest approach to begin with, we've asked a couple of times for
00:22 the oversight committee to consider taking the four game red shirt rule to six,
00:28 which would handle some of those circumstances.
00:32 But I say this all the time, it's 2020.
00:36 Who knows it's so different what's gonna come out of this.
00:40 And I know that we're gonna do what we can, no question here and
00:44 across the board, I would think collegiately to help student
00:49 athletes through a very difficult time.
00:51 Well, I guess you could have multiple national champions.
00:57 We've seen that in the past.
00:59 I think you got to, there has to be a carrot.
01:03 If this is gonna continue as is, there's gotta be a carrot for a team to play.
01:09 And it's not that much different when I was young, when we had the AP,
01:13 the UPI, all of these different national championship teams.
01:19 And maybe that's okay.
01:22 So we probably just need to play and declare a champion of whoever is playing.
01:29 But yeah, calling the national championship, whoever could do it.
01:33 Whether we continue this path in the fall or the spring,
01:36 it's obviously got an outstanding team worthy of being called a champion.
