00:00The Pac-12 is trying to put themselves back together.
00:06Now there's two pieces to this story.
00:08The first part is that Memphis, USF, UTSA, and Tulane, the four teams from the American
00:17Conference that the Pac-12 was hoping would join all of the new teams that they just put
00:23in there.
00:24They have declined, Scotty.
00:25They put out a big statement about an hour ago saying that they are staying in the American
00:28Athletic Conference.
00:29They are not joining the Pac-12.
00:31They are not going.
00:32Thank God.
00:33You know what?
00:34Honestly, I am on the other side of the river.
00:40I don't want any of those.
00:44To me, those are frankly colleges in terms of football that don't matter or basketball.
00:50They don't matter.
00:51Memphis cheats in basketball like no other.
00:54They have cheated since I've been in my mother's womb in basketball.
00:57They're in trouble now.
00:59They need better teams from the West Coast.
01:02They don't need a bunch of teams from Graceland and New Orleans playing.
01:08The Big Ten having all these West Coast teams coming to the Big Ten, it's just a pain in
01:13the ass.
01:14I get it.
01:15Lights, camera, action.
01:16USC, Michigan.
01:17It works.
01:18But the travel is a pain in the ass.
01:19I don't want Memphis playing San Diego State in basketball and frankly in football either.
01:28I don't want those schools in that conference.
01:30They have to be smarter than having those teams.
01:33Obviously, they're not, Mike.
01:35They wanted them.
01:36They wanted those four teams.
01:37They wanted them.
01:38It's garbage.
01:39They wanted them.
01:40This was them really saying no to the Pac-12, not the other way around.
01:44The Pac-12 wanted those teams in, and they are not going.
01:48Twenty minutes after that, this piece of news got out into the world from Brett McMurphy
01:54that Gonzaga is going to leave the West Coast Conference to join the Pac-12.
01:59Now, obviously, they are not a football school, so the Pac-12 is still going to have to dig
02:04up two other schools by 2026 to make it eight for football.
02:09But we have heard, obviously, Scotty, let's be fair, for 30 years, people have been saying,
02:15when is Gonzaga going to leave that West Coast Conference and join a bigger conference
02:20in basketball with what a power that they are, Mark Few, et cetera.
02:23Well, it looks like reports are saying that that is going to happen, that Pac-12, they
02:28will go to the Pac-12, Gonzaga.
02:30Well, you know, what about this?
02:34St. Mary's is great in basketball.
02:36Why don't they join as well for basketball?
02:38And then they got a really good basketball conference again, and then in football, just
02:42get it over with.
02:44UNLV in Nevada, be done with it.
02:46Now, listen, Nevada, you can say whatever you want, but Tahoe rocks.
02:51You know it. I know it.
02:52Mavi and I had so much fun in Tahoe.
02:54They told us, never come back.
02:57We're done with you two mooching off of us.
03:00I showed up at the event with 12 hookers at the sportsbook for the first four days of
03:07the NCAA basketball tournament.
03:09That was my last trip to Reno.
03:11But I have all the photos to prove it.
03:12It was fantastic.
03:13Listen, they're a good basketball school.
03:16They're averaging football, but they're not the worst.
03:18And UNLV's on the up.
