A couple of outlets are circulating a story that Colorado got paid 2.5 million to jump ship to the Big XII. The other 4 corners schools did not get this deal.

So basically, the Big XII bribed Colorado and started a domino effect that killed the PAC 12

I read that as well. I guess that the thinking was that if the Big 12 got Colorado, the others would follow.

Something that just dropped from Yormark is that the outgoing Pac 12 teams coming into the conference still have 2 years left on their bowl affiliation contract with the Pac 12 (2) and will play in those bowls and not the Big XII affiliated bowls. So they're basically ineligible for a Big XII bowl spots for 2 years.

Big 12 announced the formation of the "Big 12 Alumni Council," which includes two alums from each school. UC's reps are Kevin Youkilis and Jordan Thompson https://big12sports.com/news/2024/7/...i-council.aspx

Plenty of interesting names on here, including the likes of Steve Young (BYU) and Jennie Finch (Arizona).

@sspringersports: Scott Satterfield says Dontay Corleone is back running with the team. As they get closer to camp they’ll get more medical advice before he hits. Satterfield believes he’ll be fine.

Sounds like no intention of Oklahoma State sitting Ollie Gordon after his recent arrest. Him facing the media today/this week would appear to be part of the punishment.

He posted an apology note to Twiter yesterday. I think that's all we're gonna get.

I think there's a question about whether schools can legally suspend players for stuff that happens off campus and out of the Student Code of Conduct purview unless they get convicted. Terrance Shannon Jr. at Illinois sued over this last season and got reinstated during the season and subsequently had his charges dropped over this summer.

They have misspelled Cincinnati on the phot op prop lockers at the BIg XII Media Days. I think Neil Meyer at Front Office News got the first shot of it ("Cincinatti" ). Someone pointed it out to them and they swapped out the name tag for Mason Fletcher. Can't make this stuff up.
