Summary

With USC and UCLA joining the Big Ten, the Big 12 suddenly finds itself in solid position as the third most stable conference in college athletics. That means one thing and one thing only... it's time to get aggressive and expand. I've got two plans for you. Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports, who lives in KC, brings up the possibility of the SEC going after two more giant football schools like Clemson, Notre Dame, Florida State or Miami and booting Mizzou and Vanderbilt to make room for them. This is getting crazy. We had a pair of Amtrak derailments and thousand of flights cancelled this week, so what is our transportation secretary talking about? A billion dollar project for anti racist roads. Unreal. And the Atlanta Fed says the quarter GDP dropped, which could be considered the first actual indicator of recession. Also, Tim Allen blasts the woke new "Lightyear" movie and Kenny Chesney is headed to Arrowhead.

0:51.6	Big Pac-12 schools in a league in a conference that's clearly failing on a much
0:56.2	grander scale than anything that ever happened in the Big 12.
0:58.8	The Pac-12 is just an absolute mess and in a very weak position at this point.

1:08.8	That brings 32 teams total to the Big Ten in the SEC who appear now to have all of the power with the television networks to strike their own deals and have, I don't know, maybe we could say they could have an alliance, but we saw an alliance before.
1:21.8	We had these conferences were aligned.
1:24.1	The Big 12 and the Pac-12 actually had a strategic alliance going forward that they
1:30.3	agreed upon to work together. And part of that strategic alliance was the PAC 12 commissioner,
1:36.2	not knowing that the Big 10 was stealing two of his teams. So forget the alliances.
1:42.3	Forget what you think you know. Forget what you think is right and wrong.
