Our Dennis Dodd reports that Oregon and Washington have been told by the Big Ten that it is standing pat for now. The Big Ten is waiting on a decision by Notre Dame ... from there you've got to wonder if having 17 or 19 teams would make sense. An even 18 or 20 is probably simpler. Uncomfortable moment of limbo for the Ducks and Huskies. Notre Dame, meanwhile, continues to wield great leverage as an Independent.

Pac-12 just released the following statement suggesting expansion is on the table as the league regroups from the loss of UCLA and USC: "The Pac-12 Board of Directors met this morning and authorized the Conference to explore all expansion options. The 10 university presidents and chancellors remain committed to a shared mission of academic and athletic excellence on behalf of our student-athletes."

24 years old? What's the story behind his age?

Even better

After reading some other articles, my favorite cow name is Hugh Heffer.

We voted for the cow back in the early nineties. I never understood why they never formalized it back then.

Does anyone have any preliminary estimates on how much players are getting paid from their NIL?

I'm curious how much this affects other sports like football, baseball, women's basketball, or other less popular sports.

"It's too bad there aren't still four UCs playing football."

Yeah. It's too bad. On the other hand, we would have likely fought for the same pool of players.

I could have sworn I've seen Evanne Turner get into the same trap in the previous game when Long Beach State was being very aggressive against the Ags.

Ags up by the three after Cierra's extra point. This reminded me when Cierra never wanted that losing feeling again in a previous tournament.

So no one scored in the first 4 minutes or so of the fourth quarter, but seven fouls? I generally don't like it, but it may be enough for an Ags win if they keep it up.

I also see someone on crutches. I don't recognize her, so she's probably a redshirt.

Edit: I'm guessing it's Bria Shine just by quickly glancing the roster. I'm hoping someone can confirm.

I see the Cal Aggie Band-Uh! making their appearance.

As a note, Dollar Loan Center is not on Google Maps since it's too new. Henderson Multigenerational Center is the closest I see on Google Maps.

I actually found some bets. UC Davis is +1400 to win the tourney, and -235 money line for the Cal Poly game at the Orleans. I placed $100 each on both.

Deleted.

Does anyone know of any Vegas casinos where you can put wagers on any Big West games?

I like the fact that the WAC, the PAC-12, the WCC, and the Mountain West basketball conferences are all playing in Las Vegas. I'm definitely going, and maybe I'll swing by the other conference tournaments if I'm bored.

Out of curiosity, does any basketball conference have the #1 seeded team as the host site?
