Men on Conference Expansion - a timeline of Big 12 implosion, from the K-State point of view
I'll just leave this here, and let the rest of Corn Nation have fun with the obvious error and glowing omissions. Revisionist history at it's finest.

So Fox Sports and the Big XII have announced their 13-year deal worth reportedly $90M.
This, along with the current TV deal with ESPN will bring the conference's "total TV rights revenue" to $130M (through 2016). By comparison, the SEC got $205M last year, and our new home The B1G generated $220M.

Could the "RichRod" practice regiment happen to you?

There are fresh allegations this weekend that Rich Rodriguez's/Mike Barwis' practice regiment at the University of Michigan greatly exceeds NCAA rules. Before you even form an opinion based on either the coach or the school, think about what this would mean if it was alleged at YOUR team of choice.
The original article from the Detroit Free Press.
SB Nation's Michigan Blog's initial reaction.
ESPN's Joe Schad actually gets a former player on record.
ESPN Big 10 Blogger Adam Rittenberg says you're naive if you don't think it happens everywhere
Well, ok, call me naive, to some extent.
Big 12 Schools Athletic Results Comparison

So what makes a school have the "best" athletic department?
I thought about that when I came across a blurb on Tuesday's (6/16) "Buff Bites" at Colorado's The Ralphie Report. The blurb itself links to a story put together by the guys at the Lincoln Journal Star's Husker Extra, reflecting where each school finished in the 21 sports under the Big 12.
But is that a truly accurate picture? As the original chart showed, not every school participates in every sport. There are some sports with as little as three participants. Easier to finish first in a sport like that, and when the worst you can do is third, that'll help your average score.
So using that data, I worked up my own numbers.
