It's annoying that even some of our writers trumpet that the Big 12 is irrelevant, when most of the irrelevancy is a media creation.

Indiana and the Big 10 conference are where this recent infraction happened and headlines like this continue to bring down the Big 12. Media again creates the rough side of the mountain that I have heard coaches talk about.

It's going on in every conference and to think it isn't is dumb.

With the amount gambling propaganda out there it's no wonder why this is happening.

As in most cases, one must consider the source.

What a sh*te (and irrelevant) headline...

Does CF pay RP or does he pay CF?

Randy is nationally irrelevant.

I haven’t read the article, but I am disappointed that a title like that would originate from Randy for an article created for CF.

Reason enough to ignore this article and will do my best to ignore his future articles. Don’t mind fair and impartial but don’t need the sensationalist crap that he seems to enjoy.

Yep... I haven't read any of his articles on CF... why would anyone?

What a stupid headline. If the Big XII is nationally irrelevant, than why would a sports betting charge for one of its athletes even matter?

Good reminder as to why I was annoyed when Randy Pete joined CF.

"Our writers"? 1-8 in CFP games is a media creation?

Irrelevancy is created on the field. Or, do you believe 1-8 is worthy of another interpretation?

Yeah, except the Big 12 money boys - TTU and BYU among them - are salivating to play the same game as the BiG and SEC. Blame them or not, the B12 wants to be their bros, whatever the cost. peeeuuw.

So, is it pablum you want, a diet of feel-good articles that meet your partiular biases and inclinations?

Myself, I'm happy to disagree with RP if I've read his opinions and given reasonable consideration to what he has written. But why, in this crazy world we live in, would I decry his sports opinion at every turn?

I don't get it. And, I doubt, anyone here is able to get me to get it.

Fair and impartial? Some might believe your conclusion amounts to fooling yourself. Just a thought.

A thought extenuation: How do you know, in your own mind, what is fair and impartial. Another thought.

Randy?

Randy with another run down the B12 article from the headline. No clicks from me.

I didn’t read the article, but I likely don’t have an issue with his opinion. My issue is with the over sensationalized headline. I don’t think it was necessary on a site like CF. Nationally Irrelevant is unnecessary and debatable. Unless you are the media.
