Summary

Jason highlights that nepotism is alive and well in the sports media. Bruce Pearl formerly coached at Auburn, and his son Steven Pearl is currently the Tigers' coach. Auburn is on the NCAA Tournament bubble. So is it just a coincidence that Bruce Pearl claimed that the unbeaten Miami RedHawks, failing to win their conference, wouldn’t rank among the 37 best at-large teams for the tournament? Mike DeCourcy joins Jason to expand the conversation regarding media nepotism. They also discuss whether Kansas is a better team without Darryn Peterson. Matt McChesney joins to discuss Colorado football, as year four of Prime Time in Boulder begins with spring practice. Steve Kim and Jason delve into a plethora of topics ranging from Magic City Night to Luther Campbell blasting white college coaches and Charles Barkley blasting the media for the U.S. men’s hockey team kerfuffle.

0:00.0	Miami, Ohio, here's a deal. Are we going to select the 68 most deserving teams?
0:19.0	Or we're going to select the 68 best teams. If we're
0:22.8	selecting the 68 best teams, then Mindy Ohio is going to have to win their tournament to qualify
0:28.8	as a champion because as an at large, they are not one of the best teams in the country. And that's
0:33.3	going to be a difficult choice for the committee to make.
0:35.0	Here's a question that I have for the group here. What is more valuable the conference
0:40.6	tournament or the regular season winning out the regular season? I think it's regular season.
0:46.5	Right. Because I think you've got a larger body of work. I think they play well, but the
0:52.1	unfortunate part of being a mid-major is you've got to handle your business not only in conference, but also in tournament plays. Yes. My son played at the University of New Mexico, and they actually snuck in and won the conference tournament. And that throws off everybody, everybody. And they went and they lost to Clemson. But at the end of the day, I think you just got to take care of your business if you're
1:12.0	a mid-major team.
1:13.0	I don't know if the zero at the end of the season makes a difference unless they win

1:24.6	So that's almost 30 years ago.
1:26.4	And the strength of schedule for Miami of Ohio
1:29.5	321st. What are we doing? It's called the big dance and we shouldn't be letting Bruce Pearl with his daddy issues
1:40.7	comment on Miami of Ohio because what he's really championing is
1:47.2	Auburn the team his son now coaches Bruce Pearl retired quit very close to
1:55.3	the beginning of this season or during the offseason late in the off season so
1:58.5	they Auburn would have no choice but to promote his son to head
2:02.0	basketball coach at Auburn. Auburn is 15 and 14. They have no business being in the NCAA
