Are we calling 7 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:18.160 a retirement, Doctor Robbins. 8 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.440 I'm calling it a transition to the next great adventure. 9 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:23.239 Nice. 10 00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:25.640 I don't even know what my transition is gonna be. 11 00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.399 But great to have you. A doctor doesn't call you coach, 12 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.079 But thanks for joining us. We love having you in 13 00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:33.880 the past and now we have you today. 14 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.359 Yeah. So uh, doctor Robbins. 15 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.679 We really wanted to know, as we said, we're going 16 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.039 to stick to sports, but we I have to have 17 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.399 to ask you just your some of your final thoughts 18 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:47.399 on all that you went through as president of the 19 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.719 University of Arizona and everything that happened with the Pac 20 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.119 twelve and in some sort of a little box that 21 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:55.719 you how are you going to think about this? I 22 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.920 guess is a way to ask you going forward in 23 00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.840 terms of where we wound up. 24 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.400 Well, I chose to come to Arizona and big part 25 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:13.280 because obviously it's a great institution, great professors, great staff, students, 26 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:19.480 huge research initiatives, not one but two medical schools. But 27 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.280 a lot of it was to get back to the 28 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.439 PAC twelve because I spent you know, twenty three years 29 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.760 at Stamford and I just absolutely loved the PAC twelve. 30 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:35.640 And I guess my final parting thoughts on it is 31 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.439 one of sadness. But as you know, as doctor SEUs says, 32 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.840 don't don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened. 33 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:50.040 And I think that's I mean, just those iconic matchups 34 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.159 and the rivalries. But on the flip side, living the 35 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.359 living life through the windshield not the rear view mirror. 36 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.680 I could not be more excited about the Big Twelve. 37 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.439 I think University of Arizona fits in great with the 38 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.439 Big twelve. And how exciting I mean the rivalries in 39 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.680 basketball with Kansas and Taylor. I mean, you know, everything 40 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.199 that goes on in the with Big twelve basketball, it's 41 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.919 playing out right now midway through the season. In football, 42 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.280 I think it's one of the most competitive leagues of 43 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:31.520 the major power for league. But yeah, sadness, and you know, 44 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.120 I missed the PAC twelve. You know, in my ideal world, 45 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:41.560 we would have reconstitution of some sort of super conference 46 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:47.159 and re align all the geographic rivalries. You know, have 47 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.439 a North, South, East, West have you know whatever it is, 48 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:56.280 sixteen teams in each one, and you reconstitute those geographic rivalries. 49 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.439 So you're you're president, But are you going to be 50 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.680 able to with the games? Because let me tell you, 51 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.199 if you're a UA basketball fan over the years, and 52 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.159 I've kind of criticized the schedule in the past, you 53 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.000 you want to be part of this program because you're 54 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.599 gonna have some great opponents coming in and a great 55 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.120 opponent streat that could be seen all the whole year. 56 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:17.520 Yeah, I would agree. 57 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:19.479 I'm telling you it's. 58 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.840 Probably the most competitive league in the country in terms 59 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.680 of basketball and on any given night, and they seem 60 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.919 to play almost every night of the week. You know, 61 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.000 you may play on Tuesday and you know, Faradi or whatever, 62 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:36.520 it's gonna. 63 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.840 Be really, really exciting. And as you know better than 64 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.360 I do, McHale. 65 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.000 Is one of the most electric places in the country 66 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.639 to play basketball. Uh, not only for men, but you know, 67 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:53.240 coach Barnes has got it going on leading the Pac twelve. 68 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.039 At the end and attendance. 69 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.439 So I'm so excited for all of our fans in 70 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.759 this this new journ that we're on with the Big twelve, 71 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.039 and I think it's going to be great. 72 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.560 Okay, So I'm gonna ask you you. I'm this sort 73 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.400 of putting you on the spot, right you. You You 74 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.360 mentioned you were a lot of years at Stanford.

Are you kidding me? 80 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:34.000 I mean, there's nothing like having the incredible honor and 81 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.199 privilege to lead such a great university. 82 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:39.720 I will be a Wildcat for life. We just got 83 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:40.240 a bet on it. 84 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.279 We just got a call from Mississippi, someone who wants 85 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.279 to talk to you. 86 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:50.120 They know, you know, I've talked to Mississippi about going on. 87 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:50.720 You know you can. 88 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.399 It's almost impossible to go home, if you know. And 89 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.439 it's such such a great institution. And I'm really excited 90 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.920 about our new president. Uh, doctor Garmela. He's gonna be 91 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.639 He's gonna do great things at the University because it's 92 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:07.879 just such a great play. 93 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.519 We're gonna have you for a while here today. Thanks 94 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.759 for doing this. I'm gonna ask you to pick your 95 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.480 favorite child here. Uh and maybe a great moment that 96 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.959 you saw you were at a number of things home 97 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.519 and away, just kind of maybe fond memory of a 98 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:21.240 game or two. 99 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.120 Yeah, you know, that's a that is a tough one. 100 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.079 You're putting me on the spot. It's sort of which 101 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.240 one of your children do you love the most, the 102 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.439 ones who needs you the most at the time. But 103 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:37.279 as I look back, there's so many great things that 104 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:42.560 you know, the magical run of last year with ten 105 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.560 wins and the and the win in the Alamobowle. 106 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:46.959 But I'm gonna tell. 107 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:52.800 You, you know, bringing Stanford back up again, uh Ari McDonald 108 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:58.199 with three players hanging all over her, hits the iron. 109 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:02.879 Yeah that shot goes down. Yeah, shot heard around the world. 110 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.439 Yeah, that's a great. 111 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.560 Bars their first national championship. So that was probably as 112 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.879 exciting as anything I saw, because look, nobody gave us 113 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.160 a shot to get past huge coon and and all 114 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.000 the people we had. 115 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.160 To beat to get to Stanford in that championship game. 116 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.399 It was in COVID, so it wasn't as exciting as 117 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.800 it could have been. But yeah, that's probably. If I 118 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.519 had to say one moment in my seven and a 119 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.759 half years, it's when Ari when I saw that ball, 120 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.879 I said, that thing has got a chance. 121 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.279 To go down, and if it goes down, the rest 122 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:38.800 is history. 123 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.959 Yeah, no kidding, no, kiddy, great, great, Okay, how much 124 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.319 how much are you going to miss because you're look, 125 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.040 you're still gonna be a fan and all those kinds 126 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.360 of things, but you're not intimately involved, and you're not 127 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.199 you know, you're not pulling some of the strings and 128 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.600 and you know all those things with with sports at 129 00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.560 Arizona or any of the other places you worked at. 130 00:06:58.639 --> 00:06:59.959 Are you going to miss that part of it? 131 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.480 Or are you gonna enjoy going back and just being 132 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.040 a regular fan like maybe the rest of us. 133 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.040 Yeah, I'm you know, it's like having a grandchild. I'm 134 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:10.800 gonna get to. 135 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.839 Have all the benefits of being a fan, but you know, 136 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:15.920 none of the responsibility. 137 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.480 I will miss it greatly. 138 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.399 I will absolutely miss the grind of every day. I mean, 139 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.279 you know, it was the big, biggest privilege of my 140 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:32.519 life to serve the university and I'm looking forward to 141 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.839 maybe another place that. 142 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.360 Will value me and and want my talents. 143 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.879 And because I can guarantee you wherever I go next, 144 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.920 I will do it one thousand percent twenty five eight 145 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.240 every minute of every day. So I will miss it. 146 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.759 And I've talked to a lot of people who transition 147 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.319 out of these jobs, and you know, it's it's like, Wow, 148 00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:58.839 what am I going to do today? So I'm gonna 149 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.560 take some time and probably go to a policy institute 150 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.519 for a year or so and do some writing and 151 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.959 do some reflecting, and probably focus in on higher education policy, 152 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.680 healthcare policy. And certainly I could spend all of my 153 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:22.920 time just writing about and talking about the incredible chaos 154 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.199 that is intercollegiate athletics. 155 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.519 Yeah, no question, let me. 156 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.759 I had Rock in the Rose on yesterday, and we've 157 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.800 talked about it, Jay and I and probably with you 158 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.559 one of the last times you were here. The nineties 159 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.080 were fantastic for UA athletics. They did a lot of 160 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.000 great things, won a national title, played very well. But 161 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.639 I think they're coming back to that point where you've 162 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.440 left it, if you've left it in a great spot. 163 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.600 They're competitive, they have a chance to win national titles 164 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:48.240 here and there. 165 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.879 Do you feel that way? And have you heard that before? 166 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:52.759 Oh? 167 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.320 I definitely feel that way. 168 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:59.679 I mean, you know, Desiree read Francoist happens to be 169 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.320 a reigning National ad of the Year, and I think 170 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:08.000 she's got everything it takes to uh to have all 171 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:12.000 of our programs, all of our programs compete for championships 172 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.399 at the highest level. We've got great coaches, Coach Brennan 173 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.679 coming in when we needed him to. 174 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.960 Come back home. We've got Tommy Lloyd. 175 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.320 We've got a d At Barnes who's just one of 176 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.039 the top women's basketball coaches, Clancy. 177 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.600 And the tennis program, I mean they're just going great. 178 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:35.879 The golf program, Chip Hill, and the baseball program, gymnastic swimming. 179 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.960 I mean it is it is such a great time 180 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.720 to be a Wildcat and the future looks bright and 181 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.919 I couldn't be more proud of where things are right now. 182 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.919 And I think we're gonna see great things out of 183 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:55.279 Arizona Athletics. Uh, not only this year, because I think 184 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.519 you know, for for one or two plays here or there, 185 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.279 football team could be under beat it now. Kansas date 186 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.840 got the best of us on the road tough place 187 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.080 to play, but I thought we had Texas Tech the 188 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:08.600 other night. 189 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.919 Can I ask a real question? So we asked a figure. 190 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.600 Sports figures all the time. You know, Francona and Kerr. 191 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.840 When you go to watch a game when it's not 192 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.799 your team you're watching, what do you look at? And 193 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.399 they say different things. Of course, you know the former players. 194 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.120 When you go to the game, do you go for 195 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.600 entertainment or do you watch the coach? Do you watch 196 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.919 the plays and do you dissect anything? 197 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:30.639 Yeah? 198 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:34.679 I watch it all, but I'm you know, I'm obviously 199 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:40.200 not an expert, but I like to see competitive games. 200 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.120 I want to see it come down to that last 201 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.799 play every time. And it doesn't matter what sport it is, 202 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.399 as long as you know. I found myself at last 203 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:55.679 bring watching the National Women's Lacrosse Championship and it was 204 00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.240 you know, I was on the edge of my seat. 205 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:58.159 It is. 206 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.440 You know, I've always said that athletics and. 207 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.080 The arts or the front courches of our university, and 208 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:11.279 it provides entertainment and engagement with our communities. And you know, frankly, 209 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:17.679 uh athletics, if you have winning traditional programs and you 210 00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:21.639 win championships, it is one of the greatest recruiters for 211 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:25.639 students from all over the country. We've got lots of UH, 212 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.000 lots of options, and you know they're going to come 213 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:33.000 first and foremost for our professors in the UH in 214 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.039 the great programs we have. But they want to see athletics, 215 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.480 they want to go to plays, they want to go 216 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:46.159 to museums. So I'm I'm really big on UH whatever 217 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.559 university did. If they're doing athletics and the arts, well, 218 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.200 that means they're connecting well with their community and providing 219 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:55.120 that entertainment. 220 00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.919 Okay, so we've UH, you've talked about your athletic past. 221 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.320 You were a quarterback in junior college. You I think, 222 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:05.919 as I recall, you told me once you wanted to 223 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.320 be the next Archie Manning. What what you know? Where 224 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:12.519 did your love for sports come from? And and and 225 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:14.679 how you know, how did you grow up with it? 226 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.320 Well, I think you know, as I've said before, I 227 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:22.720 I you know, was fortunate to be raised by my 228 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:28.000 maternal grandparents on this little bitty UH Junior college. It's 229 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.840 still called Jones Junior College to this day. It's not 230 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.799 made the switch. All the other community colleges are now 231 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.320 called community colleges in the state of Mississippi most everywhere else, 232 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.600 but I grew up on the Jones Junior College campus 233 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:46.720 and I used to my grandfather was a massive professor, 234 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.559 and I used to sit in a tree and watch 235 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:55.320 my next door neighbor give biology lectures and chemistry lectures 236 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:56.159 and all this stuff. 237 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.320 But I ran around this little campus. 238 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.440 We've had about fifteen hundred students, by the way, and 239 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.320 in nineteen sixty eight, they won the National Junior College 240 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:11.960 Football Championship, and I just knew I was out of practice. 241 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.440 Every day. I ran wild on the campus. 242 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:19.440 And I think just growing up every day and competing, 243 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.480 because you know, if you're growing up in a little 244 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.639 bitty town in Mississippi, there's not a lot to do, 245 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.519 but sports is always there. 246 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:29.320 And I think it. 247 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:36.720 Helps you build discipline, teamwork, communication, and it gives you 248 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:41.399 goals and working hard. So I just loved every aspect 249 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.960 of it. And you know, I sometimes it quate.
