00:00Yesterday, you did the story about Jim Laranega.

00:06I guess you want to call it retiring from Miami or quitting, however you want to say

00:12it.

00:13But he's leaving the Canes.

00:14Why don't we hear from coach part of the reason why he doesn't want to do the job anymore.

00:19What shocked me was after we made it to the final four, just 18 months ago.

00:29The very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put

00:34their name in the portal and leave.

00:37I said, don't you like it?

00:39No, I love it.

00:40I love Miami.

00:41It's great.

00:42But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to

00:54begin to ask yourself as a coach, what is this all about?

01:00And the answer is it's become professional.

01:04And he is dead right.

01:06And they have ruined college sports with this money that they're giving to these kids.

01:12I don't care what anybody says.

01:13Oh, they never had any money.

01:14They couldn't go out on day.

01:15They never got an answer.

01:16They made all this money and all the kids did all the work and they benefited and made

01:21all this money, hundreds of millions of dollars.

01:25No one goes to class.

01:26Everyone's a pro now.

01:28They're all mercenaries like Juan Soto, uh, who makes the most money?

01:33Where do you go to make the most money?

01:34It's all a bunch of bullshit.

01:37College sports is ruined.

01:38It's pro sports with young kids.

01:40That's all it is.
