It seems like everyone is betting on the Big 12 Conference to catastrophically fail within the next 10 years, and, to be fair, a healthy percentage of that apocalyptic narrative is warranted.
After all, the conference is in a time of transition right now with two new, inexperienced coaches taking over at its flagship universities, Texas and Oklahoma. There’s also the unending conversations surrounding expansion, and whether or not the available candidates are worthy to join. Let’s not forget this year’s NFL draft, which did not reflect positively on the Big 12, with only 14 players from the entire conference drafted.
