00:00And here is your latest update on the realignment as the world turns out on the West Coast.

00:10Utah State is going to join the Pac-12, so they're going to leave the Mountain West.

00:15Air Force has said they are going to stay in the Mountain West.

00:18There was a report last night that UNLV also was going to stay in the Mountain West, but

00:22apparently, Scotty, they are now still exploring their options in terms of leaving and joining

00:28the Pac-12.

00:29So you need like a pie chart or one of those graphs to try to figure this all out.

00:35But one way or the other, the Pac-12 is trying to get themselves eight football schools.

00:38Well, you know, Utah State gets in.

00:41I was a little surprised, to be honest with you, about that move.

00:46And I don't know what UNLV is thinking.

00:49I mean, if you have an opportunity to get bigger and if they were awarded an invite,

00:57they should take it.

00:59I know there's been talk of them staying where they are and trying to dominate that conference.

01:05At the end of the day, I don't think that conference is going to matter when they have

01:09the exodus, when all these teams leave to go to the Pac-12.

01:14Any way you slice it, I still think the name of the Pac-12 carries more weight than playing

01:20in the Mountain West.

01:21I know a lot of people don't agree with that, and they think that the Pac-12 was ruined

01:27and destroyed and obliterated.

01:29But they're trying to bring it back from the dead.

01:32And obviously, these teams aren't as good as the ones that they used to have.

01:36I'll never understand what happened to the Pac-12.

01:40I mean, Big Red is turning in his grave.

01:45The Conference of Champions, suffering.

01:47Conference of Champions, unbelievable.

01:49And now the lawyers are involved, too, at Pac-12 suing the Mountain West, saying over

01:53fees that they don't have to pay.

01:55It's going to be a big mess, legal-wise, as well.
