I can't find the tweet I'm looking for. The Big 12 clarified their stance the next day or same day to Trotter.

Don't see what the big deal is about, by offering up both teams as co-champions it gives them the opportunity to get the best bowl available. It is the conference working in the conference and teams best interest. Nothing to see here.

By "clarified", you mean did a complete 180. That was an outright contradiction.

No it wasn't. Trotter ran with his interpretation. He was corrected later.

I think they should get rid of the league.

I didn't say I killed that hooker; that's just the way the cop interpreted it when I said I hit her with a crowbar and she died from blunt force trauma.

Fortunately, nobody has seen right through it, and it's been well received. I'm sure 11 win co-champions from a ten team league will get the nod over a 12 win conference champion from a 14 team league.

Nobody respects the Big 12 because they pull shit like this. They do everything they can to back into the playoffs, and it's pathetic. The smallest conference has the most self-proclaimed "champions". Give me a break. 20% of the Big 12 conference teams are champions whereas 7% of B1G teams are champions...and the B1G champ has to put its ass on the line against a power team in a championship game whereas the Big 12 teams get an extra bye week.

And as if that isn't enough, they try to puff out their chests about having one true champion...right up until they think it's going to make it harder for TCU to back into the playoff...and they immediately do a very public 180.

Embarrassing conference

Actually it has Ebolaids. Pussys can't even have a championship game.

Leadership of the big teneleve is comical.

I agree the Big Ten is a ****ing joke.

So now you're back on the league hate. Suffering the depressive state right now of the cycle huh?

The championship game ****ed KSU and Mizzou out of a title shot.


Why would they want it back?

I think it is bullshit that they don't have a declared champion.


KSU got the same treatment a few years ago.

The Big XII can't go anywhere.. Because its constituent members can't go to any greater conference.

The BIG and SEC can't go bigger than 14, and it doesn't make sense for Texas and OU to go to the PAC.
