I never wanted it to get to this point, but I'm starting to believe that the Big 12 needs to seriously consider reducing its league to eight conference games.

0:12.3

I'm Pete Mundo. We're Heartland College Sports and we appreciate you joining us here on the show.

0:17.1

I never wanted to have this conversation, but it's time to start having it as a pushback to the

0:26.0

SEC and to a lesser extent, the Big Ten, who want nothing to do with this conference,

0:33.9

but both did have utterly embarrassing moments this week. We're so glad that you're here

1:35.6

Put your head on the pillow and go to sleep.
