Kano compared what is happening in college sports to the state of society.
Favre said in response, “I think it’s more a matter of what you’re exposed to. There are some people who don’t watch YouTube. There are some people who don’t have TikTok. I’m one of them.” “Again, it’s a matter of opinion. But I think what matters in this world or in this country right now is about how many clicks you can get instantly. Like, what can I do to get the most followers? That’s similar to what we were just talking about.”
