How the Big 12 Could Be the New Big East

The college football landscape is in turmoil as an eight-team conference scrambles to hold on to power and relevance among the new world order. No, I’m not talking about the Big 12 in 2021. I’m talking about the Big East. The Big East Conference – barely one decade ago – was in a similar situation to the eight programs that now remain in the Big 12. The Big East’s story could teach us lessons about what to expect from the university presidents, athletic directors, and television executives who hold power and will be making decisions among the Big 12 landscape. This story will undoubtedly sound familiar. Some schools lucked into upgrading, like Louisville, rocketing up the ranks from Conference USA…

    Senator Chuck Grassley owes the American public an apology – and a refund

    It’s been exactly 287 days since the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee, headed by Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, told the American public “fuck you.” That was the day they decided, following the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, that they no longer gave a damn about what the voters want. They no longer work […]

    POLLitically Incorrect – 12/28/16

    As you’ve probably noticed, college basketball doesn’t typically play any meaningful games the week before/of Christmas. Most teams try and beat down an inferior opponent and send their players home for an extended break before starting conference play. Surely you can see how this would make for a really boring column, so I’ve decided to […]

    The Outback Bowl: A Preview and More

    Depending on when you read this article, this is one of the stranger weeks of the year, at least for me. I put a butt-ton of effort, energy and emotion into the holidays, Christmas specifically, and then it’s over. It’s just over. And I’m sad. But there is a silver lining – the NCAA reserves […]

    Friday Degenerate Board – 12/23/16

    We’re getting to the scary point in the season where I’m almost convincing myself to actually put money on my bets. We hauled in another $317.13 last week bringing our five week profits to $2,102.13. That’s a cool 42% ROI since we began this venture together. We were incredibly close to raking in another $1k […]

    Questions I have about The Santa Clause

    At least once every Christmas season as a child, I’d sit on the floor of my grandparents’ house directly in front of their TV and watch The Santa Clause with my younger sister while shoving Fruit Roll-Ups in my mouth. So I was feeling a bit nostalgic when I found the 1994 Christmas classic on […]
