Because I had some teams that were offering the opportunities. Just, like they were saying, “We can’t guarantee.” And I don’t expect anyone to guarantee me minutes. But to say “We don’t think there’s any minutes, but you would help our team as far as just wisdom.” You know? And that’s just something I didn’t want to do at that point.
