coming your way. We'll talk Big 12. We'll talk K State. We'll do it all here with Tim Fitzgerald.

All right, Tim. Let's just look back on the season that was for the Big 12. We know how it played out.

Texas Tech, of course, really dominates this conference. Is Texas Tech's domination good for this league, or do you want to go back to

where there was a time of more parity? I think it's great for the league. And here's why.

I've been saying this since Oklahoma and Texas left, most notably for me, Oklahoma.

Because I think a big reason for the Big 12's

greatness in, you know, not recent years as Oklahoma fell off, but during that run was you had

a pace setter. Yes. You knew what it took to win the conference.

Now, for many, it was too much.

But at least you knew that was out there.

And times have changed.

Now, the definition of what it takes to maybe compete is in dollars instead of just pure

talent.

But I think it's good. I think it's good.

It's going to force a reckoning by a lot of programs that they really need to push the envelope
