Found the story interesting? Like us on Facebook to see similar stories. I'm already a fan, don't show this again. Last year showed that you all have the ability to be nimble with the schedule on a daily, weekly basis. What is the latest for or really any year that you could adjust the schedule to account for Texas and Oklahoma joining or changing your schedule format? First our focus is on the entry day for University of Oklahoma and University of Texas, which we announced is July 1st, We've had, I think, two or three in person athletics directors meetings since the announcement.
We're obviously involved in weekly Zoom calls. We updated our presidents and chancellors really around that date. I don't think at all what happened last year is a model for what will happen in the future. We were changing games on a Monday and playing those on Saturday. That's not something I contemplate. Really to the essence of your question, the membership gave me the authority to modify the schedule and to do so on a conference-only basis. That happened in late July with a late September start.
So there was a day lead up. I don't think that's at all a model for what may happen. We've announced a '22 schedule already. I was told yesterday the Big 12 announced their schedule. I think that's consistent with my statements about entry date.
Anybody else that's moved over history, when you look back to , we made announcements in September and November and accommodated entry the next season, but that was under a different state of realities. The realities and the relationship between Oklahoma, Texas, and the Big 12 have guided our thinking around entry dates at this point.
So we'll continue to focus on those dates. Here in Mexico and Latin America, year after year, this game is more bigger. Could you say some words to all the people in Mexico and 17 countries in Latin America will be watching this great game. Thank you. Stay safe. Have a good day. That's a great question.
You'll just have to forgive me because my English is not very good, much of less my Spanish. So I'm going to stick to English, if I may. The first thing I would say is welcome. It's great to have the breadth of audience that we've experienced.
We know, as we've worked with our friends at ESPN and even CBS, we've been able to scale up the ability to access our games, what happens with digital delivery provides opportunities heretofore unimaginable with delivery of our game. So I say welcome. We like to use the phrase, It just means more. I think as we expand our reach globally, we kind of put an exclamation point on the end that people can join in to an exciting event, great competition, celebrate what happens with young people on our teams, experience our universities, and perhaps someday be a part of what we're doing on our campuses.
With the expansion and new teams coming in, do you ever envision the Championship Game possibly looking at Dallas as opposed to Atlanta? We know Atlanta's great, but could Dallas ever be an option as the Texas piece comes into play?
So we have great relationships. We have a long term agreement here in Atlanta. This is in many ways an important city. Even as we move westward, Atlanta remains an important city, not to even mention the contractual situation.
So we're really happy here. Movement of this game has not been a part of the expansion conversation at all for us. How closely does the league monitor the NIL for each individual school, and have you seen any trends that might cause concern? We're going to have those conversations within the appropriate state laws, so some of that monitoring is limited because of the way state laws are written. So we don't have some magic calculator that comes up on a screen to look at agreements that are established.
We have questions that come to our office on a regular basis. Again, because this activity is being conducted under state laws, our typical approach, rather than providing interpretations of NCAA rules or referring to NCAA rules, refers the person asking the question back to either their campus resource or in some circumstances to the state attorney general's office. I think in general -- and I mean this in general -- the activity has been much of what we would have expected. There are anomalies, most of which are outside of our league when we're kind of dodging scholarship limits with walk-on payments or certain promises.
Those have raised questions. One of the good things in college athletics, as competitive as it is, you can provide answers that maybe the depiction provided in a particular media article is not the complete story. I think it's important, the question's important because we need to be attentive to this. We have had conversations about the difficulty that young people who are recruits right now, so high school seniors trying to make determinations around where to attend college or university and participate in college athletics, there's some particular challenges as they have to evaluate different state laws or campus policies rather than one standard.
We also have concerns because we've had some information being inputted to us. There are obviously reputable, good companies, good individuals involved in providing support to student-athletes around their name, image, and likeness activity. That doesn't mean that every company, every entity, or every person involved meets that standard of having the best interests of the young person in mind.
There's not a lot of oversight or regulation, and we think that's an area that calls for some type of attention and potentially needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. And that really speaks to the general position of a need for a national standard for this activity because we have created some difficulties for young people as they try to manage, and I am waiting for the stories about some of the pitfalls and problems.
So far most of the analysis has been about the opportunity, which I continue to think has been conducted in a positive way, but there are some realities we're going to have to start to understand in short order. The shout-out and the appreciation to each of them, as I think they signed up for what they believed would be a 60 to day volunteer effort and they're still meeting by video conference every Monday. We actually honored that group in person with a real personal thank you event in Destin, Florida, the week that we would have normally had our spring meetings.
We invited our Medical Advisory Task Force for a thank you. We intended to do it around this championship, given its visibility, but they all have their own commitments either with their teams or in the medical profession in which they serve. So I'd start there.
If I go back to the beginning of the season, my first game was in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was Bowling Green at Tennessee. And you felt a crowd for the first time. The stadium wasn't full.
