Summary

While others thought the sky was falling in on the Big 12 Conference, I've been steadfast in my belief this league would not only continue, but thrive.  It's all about the time zones and competitive balance and the Big 12 has plenty of both.  Now it's led to a 73% increase for the league in its new tv deals with ESPN and Fox.    Then, Ryan Lefebvre joins us to share his thoughts on the direction the Royals are going with Matt Quatraro as their new manager and what other changes could be coming.  The Royals say they want to be more "transactional" and Ryan shares what he thinks that may look like.
