00:00Of course, there's lots of realignment talk right now with the Pac-12 looking to rebuild.

00:10They've already taken a couple of teams from the Mountain West.

00:13Now everybody looks like they want to pick the Mountain West apart, Scotty.

00:17So the American conference is interested in adding Air Force.

00:22So that way they can have all three of the service academies in their conference, which

00:29they believe will be a big selling point for them.

00:31So they want to get Air Force, Army, and Navy all together in the same conference.

00:35Well that makes sense to me, and I still don't care.

00:38So get me UNLV and the Pac-12.

00:41Yes, that is something that we do need to happen for that.

00:45Although I saw that story that apparently for that to happen, the Pac-12 would have

00:51to take Nevada too.

00:53Like if they want UNLV, Nevada's got to go with them.

00:56It's like they've got some thing in the state where those two schools need to be together

01:01in the same conference or something.

01:03There's some kind of bylaw that goes with those two that they need to go together.

01:08I don't know if Reno's as attractive as UNLV.

01:13I think that that's clear.

01:16And I think that the other thing is Tahoe's as much fun as Vegas if you really put it

01:23all together.

01:24In the winter, Tahoe is way better than Vegas.

01:28Tahoe is fantastic in the summer.

01:30A lot of people think Lake Tahoe's the greatest place in America.

01:34And then Reno, I had a lot of fun in Reno.

01:37I had so much fun there, they told me never to come back.

01:42So I don't have a problem with Nevada being in the Pac-12.

01:45Let them have it.

01:46They'll learn the hard way.

01:47I don't think they're ready for it.

01:49I think UNLV's better than Nevada in sports.

01:54Maybe, I'll give you a maybe, Steve Alford's got a decent situation on the basketball side

02:01as much as UNLV does.

02:02UNLV basketball doesn't matter anymore.

02:04It used to.

02:05It used to matter big time.

02:07And now it doesn't.
