"I am the same person who once upon a time, I did not want to watch women's college basketball. I did not like the product."
"He obviously doesn't like doing it. He gets to do basketball games. He has his own podcast."
"The aggregation culture in 2024, I don't know if it's ever been stupider."

"Good luck to everyone involved."
