I'm a huge Big 12 fan, super happy they added my team, but there is a LOT of talk in this speech, I really hope we deliver on his statements this year...
"...as one of the *_TOP_* three conferences in America." You leave out one word and you're changing the meaning. How is it difficult to believe the Big12 > ACC?
Don't understand why fans are so obsessed about how much money their institutions get. Over the last 5 years we are 11-6 over the ACC, 6-7 against Big 10, and 10-11 against the SEC in football. How is that not competitive? If anything, it shows how good the Big 12 really is going almost .500 against the two best conferences that make significantly more revenue.
@brentw0681 Just because Alabama and Georgia in the SEC, and Michigan and Ohio State in the Big 10 are dominant programs doesn't make their entire leagues "Dominant". You can't argue the stats I put in the reply post. How are they only winning head to head match ups over the past 5 years against the Big 12 by 1 game if their leagues as a whole were dominant. Barely being over .500 is not dominant. No big 10 team outside of those two schools has won a Natty since Nebraska in 1995. Only other team in the last decade from the SEC to win a natty was LSU. Also natties only apply to the top tier blue blood schools or else all the other "dominant" schools would win one here or there. Over the past 5 years, the Big 10 has a 56.5% bowl win rate. The SEC has a 50% bowl win rate. The Big 12 has a 60% win rate. 60% > 56.5% > 50%. Can't argue the stats, those conferences just have two dominant blue blood programs each, and the rest of their conference teams are mid tier or bottom feeders. Present facts otherwise. Just saying they are better proves nothing.
Not really, most fans could care not care less OU and Texas left. Especially Texas, they had one good year over the last decade and continually got beat by "the little 12".
@@ronon3849 too true, the overall value of the big 12 went way down as the value of those two programs are greater than all 8 new teams combined, huge loss for us
It's _media day._ He's supposed to get up and talk and give an outline of what's planned for the season and the year. It's like you don't understand business.
