A year ago, no one in the college football world would have suggested sitting back and watching the Big 12 eat. Eating, in terms of conference realignment, that is.
About 10 months ago the Big 12 made a big change. That is when Brett Yormark was hired to succeed the retiring Bob Bowlsby. The move surprised many because Yormark did not have a college sports background. He had worked in sports but on the entertainment side rather than the sports side.
By most accounts, Yormark has done a great job for the Big 12. Instead of floundering after the loss of Texas and Oklahoma.
