    Game Thoughts: WVU

    The crowd was bigger than I thought it would be and into the game. Also the reverse, option and I think there was a naked bootleg that finally made the defense pay for over pursuing.

    Campbell Still in Demand?

    Looks like 2012 & 13 were down (5-7 both seasons). It would be interesting to know if he made any changes in coaching staff or style of play after either season.

    Gonzaga to join the Big 12?

    I was thinking Syracuse if they become available because Yormark seems to be leaning into basketball and national branding.

    Big 12 New TV Deal - Huge Positives

    So ESPN could low ball PAC to entice movement or they simply don't want the Big12 to enlarge the P5 pool any more.

    Campbell Still in Demand?

    The public perception (fueled by media) is a graveyard but in reality I don't think that's the case anymore. Facilities and fan support are there and we are not in a recruiting hotbed but I don't believe that should be a program killer.

    Big 12 New TV Deal - Huge Positives

    Agree to both. With limited availability you take the best you can and cultural fit is not defined by Yormark. If Oregon State and Washington State were more valuable then they would be in the mix with the four corners even though I'm not sure they are much more valuable. Maybe UT and ASU are...

    Big 12 New TV Deal - Huge Positives

    True but Bowlsby was in charge and taking best available. Yormark said he wants cultural fits.

    I think this conversation is more about schools that are a cultural fit more than best for athletic success.

    Big 12 New TV Deal - Huge Positives

    Yormark wants schools that fit culturally and Oregon State and Washington State are certainly good fits much better than CU, UW, Oregon, Cal and Stanford.

    *** Official Oklahoma vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    We had a couple of OU fans sitting beside us and they were very nice. When we were called for defensive holding that was called on the defensive line he said "wow, never seen that before!"

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    Exactly, if the NFL is having problems getting ratings on a purely streaming platform than I can't imagine prime (or any pure streaming platform) would want to spend much on college football.

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    Agree but I do remember someone posting the viewership of Prime TNF going down each week which must be concerning to ownership. What they paid was predicated on a certain level of viewers and I think they aren't at that level with the last few games.
