Hello and welcome back to Power Hour, a weekly show hosted by me, Nicole Auerbach.

I'm joined as always by the Athletic Senior Writer, Chris

Benini. I'm coming at you live from Vegas, where I'm in town for the Hall of Fame honors.

And also there's a sports business journal conference. So there will be some news this week.

You'll hear from all the different commissioners of all the Power 5 leagues and the FBS conferences.

I'll be moderating a panel with some prominent athletic directors.

So there will be a little bits of news coming out of Vegas this week,

as everyone kind of talks on the record about the landscape of college sports.

Chris is at home, hopefully resting or at least trying to amid all the coaching changes in the transfer

portal news but hello chris hope you're doing okay i'm doing well shoot you're hosting panels

you're out in Vegas i'm i'm here sitting in my office getting ready for the frisco bowl to come

to town next week i guess it i guess it's not quite the same but it is it is the same i did i did

get to share one meal with a Wasserman, resident Vegas expert at his apparently

favorite restaurant in the world, the Mastros steakhouse, which is in an upscale mall in

Las Vegas.

So it feels very much like an Ari Wasserman favorite restaurant.

The meal was excellent.

No complaints.

That's good.

I've not been to.

You said Mastros?

I've not been there.
