On Sports Radio 92.9, the game. This hour brought to you by Morgan & Morgan. Injured, higher Morgan & Morgan America's largest injury. Law Firm, we'll get you set in a minute for a TV's timeout. But let's go back to the big 12 and media days because Commissioner Brett Yormack, I didn't mince words when talking about his feelings of the big 12 and what's to come in the future. We will be the deepest conference in America and every week will matter. We have star power and parody. We boast some of the top players and coaches in the game. November will be incredibly exciting and we will brand it as a race to the championship. I like the passion. It's not like a presidential fan. I felt like I was at some sort of rally or something. I think Deion wrote it for him since they're one of the new member schools. They grabbed four schools from the Pac-12 at the now defunct Pac-12, which was Arizona, Arizona State, Utah. It's funny. We want to great year the Pac-12 at last year. I know now it's gone. That's life in a nutshell right there. I will give him credit, Yormack. He has in some ways a little bit been ahead of the curve because a couple of years ago, he said the big 12 is open for business and everyone goes, "Oh, you're trying to expand." Really, what he meant was what he says he meant anyways was, "Look, we were trying to get our TV deal done ahead of the Pac-12. We knew that we needed to get it done ahead of the Pac-12." Essentially, he doesn't apologize, which I like. I was reading an article that's born from the athletic and I apologize for who wrote it off. I'll go back and look here and say it, but he said, "I'm not sad or I don't feel any certain way that the Pac-12 is defunct." He goes, "The ultimate thing is we got our TV deal done and they didn't. They made their decisions and we made ours." He's really in some ways been a visionary because he's the guy that's going to push the next era of college football as far as naming rights goes. He's a guy that has been years for a couple of years now. He said, "We need them on jerseys, we need them on fields, and we maybe need a title sponsor for our conference and we can make fun all we want about what may be the AT&T Pac-12 or the big 12 presented, the big AT&T 12 or whatever the hell they're going to call it, but that's going to fund a lot of schools in I.L. Dills for their conference and the SEC and the big ten are just going to try to get their first now that the secret's out. I mean, this is how you want your commissioner to sound, right? He's got to speak into existence, doesn't he? He's going to walk the walk. Clearly, he's passionate and he fills challenge. I mean, a challenge is a good thing. Yeah, Kansas State's AD was interviewed for this and our president, excuse me, the Kansas State president, he goes, "Look, we turn a lot of ideas down that he brings us because ultimately we vote on them and we're the ones that have the ultimate say." It's kind of like a commissioner, you know, Goodell and the NFL owners. Goodell can come with something, but the owners can shoot it down. It's the same way with college conferences. He goes, "But that's his job is to bring us these ideas and then let us sort them out. And if we don't think we're ready, we'll shoot them down and we'll or we'll table them." Just don't break his spirit. That's right. Let him know that. Let him have the ideas come and don't break his spirit. Yeah, we appreciate you, Mr. idea, man. We just have an idea, man, around here. Everything was an idea and nothing ever got executed. There you go again. What? I just want you to call out whoever you are calling out. Oh, they know they are. You sent them off. It's not unclear who we're talking about. Anyways. Okay. You're that guy. I am that guy. Well, my life's detected, so. Yeah, you would know, wouldn't you, Rob? Oh, yeah, no, I know. I don't want to. Okay. All right. Guess I'll stay on the outside. Let's do the TV chat. Well, luckily you were. Trying to figure out what to eat for dinner yet again.
