For those of you that listen to the Heartland Big 12 podcast, Pete had a fun episode end of last week where he laid out his ideal Big 12 (all hypothetical of course)
https://www.heartlandcollegesports....-what-is-the-ideal-12-team-big-12-conference/
North:
Nebraska
Iowa State
Iowa
Kansas
Kansas State
Missouri
South:
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Texas
Texas A&M
Texas Tech
Arkansas
He left Baylor and TCU out for TV ratings, and WV out for geography. Wanted to bring A&M’s rivalries back. Felt Arkansas was a better cultural fit in the Big 12.
Brought Nebraska and Missouri back because they’re a better fit in the Big 12. He added Iowa to bring their rivalries with ISU and Nebraska. Thought that was his most intriguing pick.
Again, completely hypothetical, but fun to do without much else to talk about.
