the ncaa. college football has long been separate from the ncaa.ve no relationship or control over the postseason. all of us consume the great basketball games we call march madness. but they have nothing to do with football. football drives upwards of 90% of the revenue in college athletics. as college football grows and the revenue grows, those players, the conferences, the people with power are separating themselves from the ncaa. right now the ncaa covers division 3 football the same way they govern division 1. you can't do that, they are way too different. brian: notre dame, where are they going, why does it matter? >> notre dame is the most valuable institution left. the only school that either the sec or big 10 would want to bring under their roof is notre dame. they are independent right now. they will probably remain independent because they are that valuable. but that's the reason everybody is talking about them is because they are the most valuable prize left outside of those conferences. brian: i am wondering if the cals and the san die

and i think the message all year along from you pin, the ivy league and ncaa women don't matter.g fair competition and not worthy of dignity and comfort in their locker room. this nomination is the embodiment of that message. so it is humiliating. it is devastating. it is frustrating to understand where the current ncaa and ivy league, especially penn state stance is modern women in society. >> todd: your daughter, think of all the early morning, the late nights, the stretched out days, trying to practice, putting all of that time and effort in to be the top at her sport as a woman now, college woman, if you will, to have this happen to not only her sport, but to all ncaa athletes. >> yes, are you asking me how do the girls feel about this and how parents feel about this? if that is what you are asking, it is absolutely devastating. it is hard, i think, on a broader scope the message that sends to all girls and women. they can spend their entire lives working for something, dedicate, you know, countless hours and effort, and have it dismissed as an reduce to something like a joke

>> we have a ncaa woman of the year, 95% of the life as a male. it doesn't add up.dibly insulting. a deserving female athlete doesn't get the nomination and thomas did quite literally after one year, it makes sense because it's been one year. thomas spent as a female. yeah, it's insulting and it's a punch in the gut, a slap to the face and total regression of what title ix stands for. ironically enough, the letter i got from the ncaa today, i got it as i'm walking out of the door to come to the studio but i picked it up. it says that this award is rooted in title ix. it's rooted in title ix. the 50th anniversary of title ix, ncaa woman of the year award offers an incredible opportunity for women to reflect on the impact of woman in intercollegiate sports. i just read this and honestly like you said i laughed because that's what we're doing at this point is laughing at woman. >> tucker: it's funny because the university of pennsylvania as a joke and it has been for a while, most people don't know that yet. you find it interesting that kentucky where you go has taken

it's i a letter i got from the ncaa today. to i got it actually as i was walking out of the door to come to the studio, but i picked it up and says that this award a is rooted in title nine of 100% . it's written in title nine and as the fiftiethx anniversary of title nine this year until the woman of the yearti award provides an important opportunity to honor incredible women and reflect on the impact of women on intercollegiate sports . and i just read thiske and honestly, like you said, i just laughed because that'sin what we're doing att this point is laughing at women. it's funny because obviously pennsylvania is a joke and has u been for a while. most people don't know that yet. itet interesting that kentucky, where you go has taken a stand for biology where this quote, ivy league school is taking a stand against? biology? >> yeah, for sure. i think it says something about the southeastern conference. yeah, it says a lot obviouslye about the ivy league. but for them to nominate me obviously at the university of kentucky,
