00:00One note from this nonsense realignment stuff, the seven remaining members of the Mountain

00:08West did commit to the conference, whatever that means.

00:12Reports are that they are including UNLV, by the way, who's going to stay in the Mountain

00:16West for now.

00:18It just gets sillier and sillier.

00:20Reports are that now the Mountain West wants to add Texas State, Northern Illinois and
