Stu Jackson and the WCC are suing Grand Canyon University after the school reportedly refuses to pay the remainder of its entrance fee and a withdrawal fee after leaving the conference to join the Mountain West. It's the latest in a flurry of realignment moves, including the MWC adding UC Davis from the Big West and extending an offer to Northern Illinois in the MAC.

What does it all mean for the Gonzaga Bulldogs and the Pac-12? We speculate on that, including whether the Mountain West contacted St. Mary's, San Francisco, or Sacramento State, and also discussed the next moves for the Pac-12 and whether Memphis, North Texas, Texas State, Wichita State, or others are still involved in realignment rumors.

Finally, we close the show discussing Charlie Baker's latest comments on NCAA Tournament expansion, including whether it will truly stop at 72 or 76 and how soon it will happen.
