What's next for you upgrade today by calling 877 asphodel that's 877 asked Dell to save up to 48% on our latest technology makes this fascinates me from the rich show studio only on you is, the super league of college athletics, better get on board college, and there is initial first day of July every body was California wants to talk about on this program today with you a fortune for rich numbers similar to the Peacock audience. The Sirius XM audience. The terrestrial radio audience. The rich is terrestrial radio network for the Odyssey for those listening to the show. I got a fresh cut and I am wearing a French blue shirt that matched the color scheme of the show and accents. My my 10 I'm feeling good and Luis is looking good and feeling good on clinking glasses with you across the way Chris Brockman feeling on the line with his birthday today. Yeah, I did not know that it was Danette Wright and fingers birthday were on his W feeling unbuttoned and just like one more button to is it too much and I think you should do one more button, Dr. Jerry Buss will pursue is subservience. Friday I get to new arch meaning card so the house down payment on the pumps, although Bruce Feldman of the athletic and Fox sports recovers college football shortly so I like to start today by sharing a little bit with you okay and sharing a dream that I had to lay down on the couch.

It's okay this is the figurative couch and just let me talk it all out before you analyze it okay got minds I just just let me get out. It's it was working. You know you have those work. Dreams were your work and maybe not thinking straight and some work on this show this this job in his chair, and you know here and continue the dream? Like you who is like riding on this happens there is need I just need to talk it out, so I'm having this dream and I'm thinking what to talk about of the show you and so I'm working through it and then all of a sudden in the stream again crazy USC and UCLA leave the pack 12 for the Big Ten. Even though you don't UCLA and USC are here in Southern California in the Big Ten is is most certainly not just totally up in college football and then an hour later or feels like an hour later. Not too long later, Kevin Durand announces that or becomes out that he's asked the nets for a trade on the three year anniversary of him joining the with carrier blowing all and and even though it just, you know how sometimes dreams is mixed together. This happens just six days after he goes on up when I was on podcasting my green Ansonia zone pot goes on his own podcast and asked about the rumors that that the nets are running the risk of alienating him and you can ask for trade and end this whole thing because it just mere rumors and conjecture to be a single week's scratch is, but reports been here with you today. Three days that many phone calls over here so I don't know if this report will go around this time draft final and useful, so keep that dialogue going on. Obviously were interested top live on our team decided to ban plan/fear of being swept in the play. Currently situation.

If we let also into our team understand why so much noise around the control can move forward slightly times where everything worked out for so so it's not a lie. If you believe crazy yesterday and you were there and you and your within the span of an hour yesterday not UCLA and USC are in the big 12 is essentially done. There is a Midwest based college football and basketball and sports conference that now includes a team in New Jersey into teams in California, UCLA and USC starting in 2024.

If they make the Rose Bowl Rose Bowl as the Big Ten team sitting on one Friday, June 24 and it's all just conjecture and now it all worked out one time tripe on sun comes up further work out to be around on a plane to New York.

I wonder, I don't see how the page in your post. All Kd demands trade ferments for man has no heart directed out after a single playoff series win for $119.3 million since play like that then man man no godly posted. Of course, the post puts Jaelyn Brunson of the top born to Brian will headline writers never going to Brian at the post reference to the New Jersey boss just like every New Jersey boss like Tony, why did the rent. Why is carries out the men that mean he's not why did Joanne opt out because Ben Simmons wants a piece of that guy was no peace to Steve Nash and was no peace of Brooklyn what is happening because the rent kind re-Ben Simmons Seth Curry and a trade that our friend Brian when horse brought the light on the first take this morning causing them to go on in a very interesting Jag about how keep an eye on Utah because Utah traded away Royce O'Neill to the nets. This is a trade that was Welch bombed five minutes before the ultimate Welch bomb that blew everything up in Durrant world saying that the Utah Jazz trading away a very good young 29-year-old player to the nets. He's there to want to sing on.

Why would he want to be. What is up with that. It's why it is totally wild.

The Brooklyn Nets three years ago we yesterday announced kind re-and Durrant and this is all over with just one playoff series with one. They waited for Durrant to get healthy. They waited for Tyree to come around so that he could play together with Durrant they get heartened to and then trade him away so the nets are left with Ben Simmons, Seth Curry. I guess Royce O'Neill, Steve Nash, it's not your job. And this is a team that Spencer Dinwiddie and D'Angelo Russell. They were doing some good things there Terrace liver him Kenny Hackett and they had a really good coach.

They had a bunch of young players with chemistry and they just went home because not of the room. Tyree and not be laid up in the room. I had to read said there, and all is that all these young guys pics gone. Now what nothings mix coming off a highly disappointed season and their future looks brighter than the Brooklyn hell going on, I mean I still say guys might my idea of merging the two franchises and give it try was the worst that could happen. I'm not sure you know I mean I was like kind of tongue-in-cheek asking Jeff Durrant screw online chance by picking the nets over the next know he screwed up by choosing the, the nets over the wars should stay put. Like Chris said earlier we put end an might not of been an option for my guest and see what he got along with those guys. Or maybe I guess 91 guy allow the sky on the slide. It seemed like just say this though a Kevin Durant know I because I know he sees a lot need. We know takes it a lot that back page of thin man has no heart versus your post I think you're looking at the wrong that okay that's number one number two number two is Pat Riley. Once Scott ran out of New York on a rail when he left the Knicks to go to the Miami Heat headline of gutless called gutless quitting on New York because it worked out for pep rallies matter for you know where I think the rent should go Miami. That's where you should go not just to prove me correct but I think that's of a fit and I think the heater probably just sitting here bending over backwards trying to figure this thing out every franchise every class franchise in the NBA. It's gotta take their yellow shot everyone your Sixers, your Celtics absolutely to take that shot you don't run it back to big poppy and I don't think Brady would wind up on Long Island, this time for that member that that that Hamptons now wooing sure that wanting him going to gold between a single big poppy came. Eric tried it a try to get the try to roll it out for Durrant and said they got the wrong guy. Inquiry. That's the guy that the headline writer should be all over but he's a little outdated coming and maybe is often is for Durrant opt out again. There's this huge iceberg. We just see this little part very very tough opt in. That probably makes it easier for him to get trade to the Lakers which where it's not just wants the guy now your hearing with the Lakers again trying to package your both Kari and Durrant. You know the clock to give up West house when I don't know how I mean.

The rumors rumors are flying everywhere. I have no idea which means they may be.

Durrant didn't didn't demand a trade because Kari opted in. It says that they both got together and say let's both get the hell out of here knows nobody knows anything to Ryan again said on his podcast one week ago today, just rumors. Just conjecture. There's nothing there's nothing to see her move on and then only apparently can get her and he gone was USC and UCLA. There were talks, there were talks.

Then on Tuesday to pick up a phone line Big Ten will take us. We want to apply your plot be applied your plug-in because there's an application you need to put in an application for the application to presidents and chancellors and then we'll figure it out. They already voted hacking. How convenient. Today that's like a Kramer line from Seinfeld talking about you hope you continue come home you talk about your day, USC and UCLA talked about their day. How would you like to join the Big Ten big W taken from the petal. Yes, we will take you and then all of a sudden application get on the phone resume and chancellors in team and and school presidents in the Big Ten about USC and UCLA are starting to play in the Big Ten in 2024. If they make the Rose Bowl Big Ten team and séance the company, USC versus Utah in the Rose Bowl and it will be like yeah member. They played each other for 10 straight years. I thought great picture someone on Twitter put a big shot of the Santa Monica pier and there are Big Ten country now is like to live in Big Ten stimulus that is if you live in Big Ten country 80 and sunny so you just know because Michigan will be playing UCLA and USC every year you can add those two teams to the gotta play Michigan every year last because Michigan has to play these guys because Michigan is Marti take that everyone else is not like US theory and powerhouse into their common audit schedule so I'm on my end. I'll go down to the Coliseum. Now you Rose Bowl their place on planet Earth.

Did my run there this year regret I might let you flip a coin in the game is going to hot I should keep it fair. Keep stopping to talk to us like, thank you very much for not allowing my son but I was dynamite me offer to Connolly's and the offer who the plate. I will talk about this on to be on time for Bruce Feldman 84420 4-H number to dial Bruce Feldman's going to tell us what the what the hell going on.

I texted this man.

I might talk bring me Feldman as I think it might beckon call, but so thrilled have a Mercedes-Benz man's phone line, a man who can help us make heads or tails of what the hell is happening in college football from Fox sports on the athletic. Our friend Bruce Feldman back your the program title Bruce well I mean it's just great to live in Big Ten country here in Los Angeles. Bruce just great trouble this is great I love it. You know, honestly the disc I look up at the sky I see Macy's icy blue every day. I think word Big Ten country, I think, but I'm a missing guy. What the hell happened. Bruce walked me through this what's going on. I think really what you're seeing the big picture is to on the SEC and big head because they have the biggest PD power have really pushed the rest of college football side and now it's like basically poor.

Whoever is out there. You are trying to say you know what my conference probably viable anymore. So I better jump in now or else I'll regret that I didn't indicate that USC you had a lot of leverage because obviously, USC and UCLA are like me, what I think what what I think you need to be underscored here. Not enough people to talk about okay well you know the Big Ten had the New York media market record. There I mean is this area is not just an giant appeal. There was USC and UCLA. I mean special USC people out here are all about it right and so I think that different you are you are bringing you bringing this big PD market to the big and also bring the iconic brand I mean where I show you the USC helmet your UCLA uniform will recognize that I know the programs have not had not been successful know the last five years for outsiders, but still in terms of what they command and you have about your connection to your because of the ironic, alleging the Rose Bowl is a subplot to this what happens to it because of the Rose Bowl because the sorting matchups between UCLA and USC and again and again and heavyweight counterpart.

I think there is a lot of connection, and feel similar, just like you, much more so than they would if you say you if you can enjoy the SEC and other employments to be state Auburn mean yellow school to play but it just doesn't have the same kind of connection where I feel like these are a little more like-minded ramifications and spin forward. I still want us to linger in the how this happened, you say most reports as well.

Confirmed what I saw from you first that the two schools here in Los Angeles, USC and UCLA reached out to the Big Ten. It was their idea and I imagine the Big Ten is like okay were kind of negotiating our next television deal so you're telling me we can add a completely different time zone and the number two media market United States of America add to leverage on top of what were doing okay. I mean that that that had to happen right like that that was the exchanging and if so is not what did happen between these two. So yes, I know a lot of reporting on that school out here were driving more initially, but again he said with the TV deal, and this makes it that much sweeter.

You're taking me to school this huge market for all your outstanding it with the big head on. This is it expand their day out.

Now in terms basically have wall-to-wall time the first game kicked off. I don't think Big Ten After Dark lately seen it like you know going on at 2 AM back east but I think you will see games now all of a sudden it's a lot more manageable and also just from your conversation that have UCLA was actually one when this was discussed two years ago.

He was open to all all play 9 AM to copy you know you didn't have any qualms about having to do that so I think there's a lot of make a lot of sense to make a lot of money and I think the thing I kind of reckon you don't recognize most of USC did not leave may bird maybe half of what you get a make or why Vanderbilt was going to make from their TV like revenue article report is been enough real financially.

This can solve a lot of those issues for them. I need another logistical challenge is no doubt trouble with the other nonrevenue sports or product so much cash coming in here and where it's going and especially with no II think it even if you are seeing usually stayed in the pack 12 pack 12 is going to be so hard to get to be left behind. Further, new Big Ten TV deal that it know I need to be a real uphill climb. If you're not part of these two leagues being the big and the SEC, so is it possible before he starts spinning for your and fallout and ripple effects is possible. Lincoln Riley new that USC was considering moving to the Big Ten when he left the big 12 in the boy that's all you heard from sooner fantasies running from the competition.

He doesn't want play the SEC he wants to go to Southern California and beat up on pack 12 teams will then happen out for him. So is it possible he did not know maybe or he knew.

I don't think that far back. I really don't.

I don't think he knew that.

I don't think this was know something realistic to say hey yeah seven months from now the no I don't I don't like that part of it. Did Lincoln Riley Carlino 70 I could not, I think, but like he was in Norman, Oklahoma.

After losing bedlam the state. I don't think that part factored in.

No I really don't. I think I think right now so much for him was like hey I want to go out USC let me see what I can do it. This iconic program that has been down. Now let's see where this works with the new challenge. I mean be really interesting to see how technically I mean, his old-school Oklahoma will be playing the SEC reported Big Ten college, you know, before Oklahoma joins the SEC it's that's that's kind what so crazy is how fast it's happened. Unbelievable. I got Bruce Feldman here on the rich eyes and show some ripple effects.

I the overarching question is what happens to the pack 12 now and next but I'm an ask it to you in this matter what's going on Bill Mike's office right now, wherever he is. Bruce Feldman was happening with the question. I mean, from what I heard late last night there. Don't be that Oregon is going to the Big Ten ASAP.

Know immediately. Now to me on the server little.

I first heard of it.

Okay you have two LA schools like well you Washington and Oregon out there who were both also you know Oregon Portland and see watch it. If you have a looser big media market.

There are good and a lot of sports as well and then you have travel partners for the West Coast for practice, but I'm not sure it's lining up that way but again my big heavy hitter and there is a global sport.

If you get it on the sidelines and let this school that he has built so much and by the way he is in you invested so much to me and ILP for the last year to make sure that organ player and no, try to make a run at my my luggage school make a run at a national title. You know, while I'm still alive.

Know what what happens to where they where they stay and be a much diminished while there is no other way to look at it well without USC and UCLA doesn't feel like the pack 12 anymore and if you like about you still have Oregon and there he still has really really good football program been successful by just doesn't have the same command. I don't know what they make another alternative potentially to partner up with the big 12 is already expanded the big 12. I would probably be very intrigued by the idea of me felt like school, Washington certainly try to get in Utah which is connected to some of the new members there are some interesting dominoes by their one of the two most intriguing question Feldman because you want to talk about what potential bigger dominoes than Oregon might be there's Notre Dame. Obviously, all eyes on Clemson or whatever ACC alliance that that needs to be held together in the ACC due to money. I think I read something that there is a clause in their television right right right now with the ACC that a long-term deal and it's unwieldy. Hello that hold up in court. I don't know for sure nobody nobody but with different native Notre Dame and the partner in the other sports would be ACC but my understanding is Notre Dame granite right not hiding with football and so what they really really small dollar. I would not be prohibited for them.

If your neighbor named know they Big Ten strong academic footprint drug geographically make lot USC which is your your your archrival is already going there. The part that I think would be something to keep an eye on when the SEC Commissioner for a couple weeks back I made some rumblings about how maybe we could borrow school now. The idea that maybe the Big Ten and the FTC, the expanded Big Ten.

The expanded could have their own playoff would have a lot more credibility now that you're a manager at basically look at like 30 to 35 schools and I think that yes dear Clemson if you are like a school that traditionally one a lot of championships. Clemson Miami Florida state they would be on the outside of what they either get brought into one of the other two SEC or Big Ten. I'm looking what I'm wondering is Notre Dame's seat at the table of the playoff. If Greg Sankey and Kevin Ward decided to say hey let's talk about RTV having this playoff, potentially Notre Dame part of that they're not part of parting the SEC are certainly the Big Ten by guessing they probably wouldn't have any reason without the driver to save you a lot of PD: I have a huge brand would love to have you part of a slip. The athletic socks ports on the day after a seismic event happened in the world of college athletics, USC and UCLA bolting to the Big Ten right here on the rich eyes and show the reason why I brought up to Mike's name. Moments ago as well when it comes to what's can happen. The pack 12 what can happen with Oregon and that's a very big piece is is is also because of the reason I brought up is because of this, look, you just mention how the Big Ten and the SEC might get together with a much larger group of member schools in the but they currently have and said let's do our own playoff in them will be other teams and schools left out in Oregon could be one of them right on the big 12 to be left out some of the ACC could be left out because they have to stick together for whatever legal and financial reasons into the next decade.

So there's two entities in my mind that couldn't get this all together where everybody gets together and and figures out who's in, who's out and just lift the kimono or burn it completely. Like I said yesterday on yesterday show up on the news of USC and UCLA distant this whole business of all of NCAA football college football's now it's toast and I always accelerate everybody's moving around get together and figure out who's in, who's out and what the playoffs is going to be. There's two entities. The television entities but I think there's too much competition amongst that answer will not feel like to be the guy who comes in and says that the money of shoes and money of jerseys keep loving member schools want to run to Nike to say we want to switch to you right so she could make something like this happen as well.

Don't you think my off because this is the way it's going to go to make sure it happens. I don't know the latter part of the one thing humanity by work at Fox sports course that there are two entities. Right now the PC is largely yesterday and right now, and the Big Ten network has obviously so big TTD entities.

If that is something I like.

There obviously companies work together in a draft when it comes to sorting out how the TV schedule gets sorted out just I don't want to jump way ahead, but we were taught to write you to write. I could do that humanity is not to say that there are other broadcast partners losing the law, losing law, the SEC and there's obviously all the other now, gone get into the well will see where some of these other emerging broadcast outlets shall that's when the money is right so I don't want to discount all my and in Nike.

Maybe you're right. Maybe there some truth to that, but I think if I did drop a few dollars on the right the football. The thing that when the last round of big expansion capital.

About a decade ago. One thing it was underscored or hammered home the people you know like you and I look we grew up in the Northeast College battle March madness is a big big deal back then.

Not that it mattered all its football college will drive all the money drugs all the movement and as long as that's the case that happening, you know there'll be people to look at the playoff becoming a lot more like is no way around Bruce like he you you did. As I mentioned yesterday, right if you get let's say the Big Ten currently has what they got UCLA and USC. That's 16 teams right correct. Let's say you get formal yes the SEC is the AFC and the Big Ten is the NFC, you get 40 teams. We could even jacket up where each division has seven teams and it's a 20 2056 teams and that's college football and one side has its own playoffs.

The other side has its own playoffs and they meet in the college Super Bowl. This is the way it's going to go and IL is like that is the accelerant Newport you spray on on on all you know your grill, your barbecue that hasn't really sparked yet but but the calls already burning this is happening mean it's clearly going to happen. The question is when and who's going to be the entity that puts it together visit college football playoff committee if it is in the offices of Bristol, Connecticut, Los Angeles, California yes payment box or Mike's comments. Somebody's going to put together the question is is is how much of poaching is going to happen before the momentum gets us there. That's what I'm thinking Bruce.I miss him so much like handling over how it played out in terms of light just a wild wild wet. I think that a lot of people know inside the sport would prefer some you know I don't use the term guardrail. Her some kind of leadership on that day completely dictated leadership. So if you had that emerging to manage the playoff CFP.because that's kind of a clown show but it I think there would have to be something to write down what you have in the store and you know it is about 11 months ago that the text in Oklahoma, stuff happened to go and was just as crazy and delicate with a lot of betrayal about the conference commissioners who are aligned in Hawaii form and receive not just the kind of kind of a joke and so I think if you're going to get to where you're talking about rich and I don't doubt that that could happen way down the road but I think the partners here need to really table close to that happening that part of it. Okay. Bruce open for let's go what what what happens next. Do you think I mean we wait to see other shoes drop with the rest.

The top 12 because ever since terrific programs there. I mean cow about Stanford sitting up there in San Francisco. That's a hell of the market to, and I'm sure the big 12, Big Ten school presidents and chancellors would love to add Stanford, Berkeley, to the mix academically as well for sure.

So what's what's happening. What's next and I will call Notre Dame first okay how motivated Notre Dame to become free. I don't think I don't think there's anything eminent with them, but that all okay.

What kind of you know during a different space and I don't think it cost prohibitive for them to get on me that then I think there are the other. There's a handful of ACCs programs that have attracted Miami to a big market. There's obviously a strong brand there success North Carolina clients have an iconic basketball brown and I think those you mentioned Clemson before, I don't know Clemson and Florida State fumes all the more potentially aligned with, you know, in line with the FTC them, and they do with the right I those are interesting questions know there's always been mumbling about all Florida Woodlawn FSU or Miami in the FEC mean Texas A&M may not of wanted Texas in the FTC, but it happened at work happening and I think there's a lot of those kind of questions that need to get sorted out. The ACC schools that are not Notre Dame that are full-fledged members. The grant of rights as it relates to long-term unwieldy kind of working but underwhelming TV deal and I don't know how they are on you to me or again is probably a lot of ways it is kind of a wildcard because I feel like the line because it had a lot of success in an elevator, but also because right now they're in a league feels like it is. So I was falling apart and nonexistent, but it is on shaky ground that is so diminished.

Where was you know four hours ago.

I think it not sensible for them to stay. They have other choices to run the risk of asking for two more minutes here and I'm sure your phones blowing up, but a couple minutes that I'm asking for. How did Texas when the arch Manning sweepstakes best you can tell Bruce a really good reputation and offense in my working with receivers. I think that school did a really good job of getting arch comfortable in the know, like I think like all these boys know whether you want to go to Tennessee or you know I like you I'm not going to follow his big brother. I think you going Ole Miss.

I think in the case here. You have you built different it feels like to be a really good opportunity. I think the interesting thing is already a kind of day will affect with other recruits to jump in board because arch Manning committed taxes are now some big time receivers and decided I want to go play with them and will feel much better. Texas can get before they get the FTC pretty wild stuff. Bruce crazy 10 days ago arch Manning still deciding where he was going and USC and UCLA were still tied 12 teams past 2023. Unbelievable world we live in.

Never a dull moment. Thanks for the time. Bruce Feldman greatly appreciated.

Let's let's chat throughout the summer. Thank you, sir.

They go that is Bruce open right here in the retries and show let's take a break will take some phone calls and I mean I have so many thoughts about what happens next in the ripple effects, and how would you have to get used to what's going on so many thoughts in my head and then we got Goldberg by the way, joining this program in the middle of next hour right here in the rich eyes and show that you are on our program.

Kathy in Philadelphia take her phone call what's up Kathy in all that we should maybe think about other sports just just as an aside, the NFL's events for a long period of time as a gentleman who I loved working with Frank's deposits was his name and he came from the NHL and he brought the idea to the table of taking the lately the Lombardi trophy brought in to the stadium after the Super Bowl is over by an all-time great to essentially take the trophy and handed off to the team that just wanted their tropic they tried to bring a lot of Stanley Cup style hoop law to the presentation of the Lombardi trophy.

I think it's kind worked out so just on that out there just predicate for the for the NFL for second what's going on with your mind you surely alignment oh dear enjoyed making the AA overall actually like that would work better product on the ground like basketball game between Stony Brook that no one wants to watch my lap but you have have been the power competition opportunity for a happy compromise being son Carlos, a member will gladly accept that actually called, but I got a great idea Kathy, thank you very much like you like that's a look. Kathy makes an interesting point right there by the way, it's a rare arrear phone call were she doesn't.

Ptolemy. Kathy makes an interesting point that the when you put together a super conference and this super link that's coming.

The homecoming games if you will be figurative homecoming games become fewer and far between, and that serves offense. I think that I don't know how the Big Ten is going to do this but the nine Big Ten games at Michigan.

Let's explain this year I got there schedule for this year. Here the 19th of their playing in the Big Ten, Maryland, Iowa, Indiana, Penn State, Michigan State, Rutgers, Nebraska, Illinois and Ohio State after they got the Wisconsin on the schedule. I guess they can plan every year, but there you have it. Those nine games.

Imagine removing Maryland with all the respect Rutgers Illinois.

Imagine removing either one of those two teams and inserting all three of those teams inserting UCLA, USC, and having to do the same. Obviously similarly for all Ohio State Penn State. Imagine that happening. It's a difficult schedule would you say you make very tough watch how many more times will somebody to nationally let Los Angeles to watch USC Michigan you UCLA Michigan as opposed to any of those fans out there rooting from Champaign Urbana okay sometime I just thrown out with all due respect to those teams in the Big Ten actually said that in advance. That's coming that's coming and I will say this to you know same thing with the SEC and the Vanderbilts the world and those guys a better, they better start beefing up to someone and if they get relegated out I II don't know if that's the other part of this is that you poach the big teams from the other schools. Is it possible that somebody loses their charter membership to make room. Now you gotta keep the cupcakes that have guaranteed wins in the schedule kind of okay I think I imagine you're still going to have out of conference games we Michigan throughout a conference games this year. Colorado state Hawaii and our friend Jim Moore told us you know you can't come you write like that said, you have a 5060 team. You know super two conferences there.

What's the need. What I don't know what you had a conference for you. Don't you do not that's the Lipitor aspect of it. Okay.

Is your champion is right. You don't need any more competition. Nobody's coming into what is making it caught nobody's getting caught reason there on imagining unless there's some relegation you're out and somebody was out of this super conference gets to play it now. I'm sure prime would raise his hand and say how about us, about me down here.

We should get I should. I should know get into this really telling don't forget me Miss thing is just starting right now I feel like you were just beginning to talk it out and scratch the surface here just beginning to talk about because like I said earlier to Bruce Feldman TVs get to drive it again. Could you imagine you're Kevin Warren of the Big Ten. Your the commissioner right and you get a call from somebody who's representing UCLA and USC together saying I got both of the schools nearly conversations that we've kind of been going around the edges glass crew few weeks and months.

What were ready to move.

Now what about you and he's technical I'm negotiating my new television deal and I can add both schools were asked to number two market in the United States where the Big Ten already has a footprint because we play the Rose Bowl. There, so it's not totally out of whack and I get to call up the school presidents and chancellors and same. You think of adding those two schools academically.
