Big o making more out of what was said than what was said
People are unhappy, there will be changes. End of conversation.
And there always are unhappy people coming and going all the time.

Some good stuff in the video, but this is definitely confirmation Bias.. but i wouldnt be surprised if there were unhappy people in the MLF/Bass etc

I thought it was a good podcast, but the Xpress nut-hugging is little much.

I think there are a lot of indicators visible that what Luke reports is probably more accurate than not. If the general observer and bass angling fan can see things then I can imagine the anglers involved know a lot more about what’s going on and being said. I found it interesting he said “FLW 2.0” more than once... my guess is that BPT and perhaps the Cups goes away completely and the old FLW is going to be the only thing remaining.
They haven’t published a entry fee and payout schedule for BPT, the old published process and structure for line of advancement/demotion in and out of BPT is obviously void because it wasn’t followed for the 2021 season and nothing has been published as a replacement. There is strong rumors that JM will be pulling the Bass Pro Shops endorsement at end of current contract. I think Luke probably knows way more than he leads on that he does. Now you might actually have something there. JM has already pulled Ranger Boats from the Pros and went to a more "farm league" sponsorship for now-Pro guys and gals. With them starting up the US Open National Bass Fishing tourney they might be going to try to build it up and pull some pros back away from the other leagues? One thing is for certain that it will be a stepping stone for Bassmasters and the MLF if they lose one of the biggest and oldest sponsors.

even if they weren't unhappy with the format Big O would find a way to make it seem so.

Say what you want about Big O’ but Luke Dunkin is about as connected to the Anglers and Industry as any person in the sport. He was a FLW Pro Angler, Regional Sales Manager for TH Marine for 15 years, host of NPFL fishing show, a member of multiple product fishing teams (along side the biggest names), and routinely has the pro’s on his podcast and YouTube show, so he has relationships out the wazzoo.
He didn’t say all that much but he still said a lot.

From today's Bass Blaster 2. Y'all know I don't do rumors unless they pretty much aren't rumors – they just haven't been announced yet if you know what I mean. Well, word is there's gonna be a HIGHLY controversial MLF announcement in the next couple days about rules – maybe involving a bait or baits??
