Patterson, sporting a shiny conference title ring on his right hand, took the stage Monday at Big 12 media days and reinforced the message by which his preseason Big 12 favorites plan to live this season.

Senior Derrick Kindred is the most experienced member of the secondary, notching 80 tackles last season, third-best on the team. In a follow-up, Bowlsby was asked whether being left out past year placed the conference at a psychological disadvantage. Officials at Oklahoma are all but extending invitations to join the league themselves. I favor two divisions. Boykin talked to reporters for nearly 90 minutes, continuing an off-season of activity that included picking up or being a finalist for a bevy of quarterback awards. I really like the attitude of our football team. Yes, some school presidents like Oklahoma’s David Boren are in favor of it, but Boren is only one of 10 presidents in the conference. He expects the championship game rules to be relaxed, allowing the Big 12 to hold one without expanding if they so choose, and mentioned the fact that the conference now has a tiebreaker. “I think they’re all good young guys”.
Memphis? Really? No one outside of Memphis cares about Memphis football.
As often happens this time of year, people are talking about TCU football.
But he also added that if the league was shut out of the College Football Playoff once again, the conference would have to take another look at their options. “And I favor a championship game”, Snyder said, according to Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle.
Bowlsby stated the event off by discussing the autonomy that the Power 5 conferences gained recently.
Winning is one thing Cincinnati brings to the table. “I think Gary’s done marvelous”. The argument I’m using is, UC hasn’t won a single game of significance since 2007.
That’s interesting, given that Bowlsby estimated that a postseason conference championship game would generate at least $20 million for the conference.

The Big 12 wants to set a new standard when it comes to contact rules.
“I think that’s exactly where we’re at”. Everything worked for TCU in 2014, from a new offense to a first year quarterback – how the Horned Frogs handle that trend will determine how well the team meets expectations this fall.
Here are some highlights from the first day of Big 12 Media Days. This move makes the most sense geographically. “That meant a lot to the growth of our program”, Snyder said. On top of that, you have built-in rivalries, not fabricated ones.

Gary Patterson entered the Dallas Omni Hotel on Monday unlike he did 12 months ago. “I could capably argue either side of it from a mandatory standpoint because I think coaches need to have prerogative in terms of how they get their team ready”.
