    Bonus Episode: The Buzz looks at UArizona and ASU's move to the Big 12

    Hey, More Than a Game listeners. Since we're in between seasons of the show, we decided to bring you a bonus episode from one of AZPM's other shows. With college sports getting underway, our public affairs show The Buzz examined why the University of Arizona and Arizona State University are leaving the Pac 12 conference and moving to the Big 12 next year. We're starting to plan season 2 of More Than a Game, and hope to bring you more great Arizona sports stories late this year--maybe early next. But, keep this feed active because we've got some other ideas for bonus episodes yet to come. Thanks for listening!
