Let’s not forget there will be more than just football in the new Big 12 next year.
I get it, football Saturdays are so close, and I love that time of year more than the next guy. And I understand that football is the battery that keeps everything powered, but all this conference realignment has centered on the one sport, for the most part. Basketball has been mentioned briefly, mainly by Brett Yormark.
Eventually, we’ll witness the effects this shakeup has overall on the “smaller sports,” whether the money coming in ticks up their budgets, or traveling from Morgantown, West Virginia to Salt Lake City, Utah, for a soccer match is more detrimental than beneficial.
