Summary

College GameDay has officially moved on from the Big 12 — and Saturday’s show proved it.


Heartland College Sports' Pete Mundo breaks down how ESPN’s flagship pregame show barely mentioned the Big 12 in Week 9, hasn’t visited a Big 12 campus in over two years, and what that says about ESPN’s future with the conference.


The Big 12 has options — including its growing partnership with TNT — but it might finally be time to move on from ESPN.
