The Monday Mailbag delivered an array of fun and interesting questions. Readers asked about the Pac-12. They want to know about expansion — UNLV or New Mexico? Someone else? And readers asked why the Pac-12 wasn’t into Sacramento State.

Who will Oregon State interview for the men’s basketball job?

Can Washington State afford to fire hoops coach David Riley?

Is Phil Knight’s financial impact at Oregon $1 billion or nah?

Thanks to all who submitted questions.
