Big 12 partnering with historic Rucker Park

People who didn’t know who Fat Joe was are scratching their heads.

As one who still doesn't understand the FJ thing, this is accurate.

If we can get the old John Tesh NBA theme we'd be printing money

Just wait a couple of years, when Big 12 hoops shows up on Fox/FS1.

The timing of this announcement is nails. Yormark is a street-smart dude.

Makes me think we may get some basketball only members in the future. Like St Johns, Georgetown, UCONN, Gonzaga etc

This would be incredible. I've never been an NBA fan and I knew this tune immediately upon reading this message. Commissioner Yormark, do whatever needs to be done to secure the rights of this song for the Big 12.

Can't help but laugh at this.

Almost two decades after the founding of this site and it's battle call "rather lose with integrity than win the Rucker Park way" when pushing Wayne Morgan out...................here we are.

That's funny. I was a huge fan of this site and of the Cyclone program during the Wayne Morgan era and I don't remember this battle call at all.

Awesome "give back" idea by Big12. And with K-State playing at Madison Square garden and having a number of NYC kids on roster, the timing is great to announce.

Just reinforces my believe that if the time ever comes for Big12 to add teams, an east coast team will be in the mix. Whether that is a school like Syracuse if the ACC falls apart or schools like St. Johns, Villanova or Georgetown if the Big12 moves to add multiple basketball-only schools to the conference.

This puts us in a great spot if Columbia decides to leave the Ivy League.

I knew all about Rucker Park before Fat Joe was born!
