I agree with everything you said but will push back on Hassel a little bit. It’s not like he’s an accountant and this a side gig. He works for CBS sports and calls college football as a broadcaster in the fall.It didn't bother me that Hassel didn't know - neither his full time gig nor fandom require him to be familiar with the Big XII and he readily admitted that he didn't know. But for CW to cite incorrect information instead of just owning that he didn't know was embarrassing.
Reminded me a lot of when they broke down ISU's possible path to the FB CCG last fall and a few other instances since then. It's ok to say you don't know and let Matty VanStats look it up quick.
There’s no excuse for cw to know how many team other conferences have but not the Big 12.
At the end of the day not a huge deal but come on guys.
