Well, conference realignment talk may have cooled off a little bit, but there are still a lot of

storylines for the Big 12 that are worth diving into right now. I'm Pete Mundo, Heartlandcollegeports.com.

Of course, is how you find us each and every day. Boy, we are just cranking out a lot of great

content right now. We appreciate you guys joining us each and every day for that.

Before we dive into it,

my goodness, I can't thank you guys enough. Let me just thank you guys for what has been an incredible stretch for this show, probably the best stretch this show has ever had. So we had about

375 ratings and reviews on iTunes like three weeks ago, we are now at 435.

That's because of you guys.

I think we can get the 500 before the season.

Of course, I'll send you that free coozy if you leave us a rating and a review

and send me a screenshot of your rating and review to Pete Mundo, M-U-N-D-O at

Heartlandcollege sports.com. But if you just want to leave a five-star rating,

it'll take you two seconds, hit the five-star button on iTunes, and away we go. Thank you guys for

that. I really can't thank you enough. So many nice ratings and reviews on here as well

that I will read at the end of the show. But now there are questions in terms of

what happens moving forward. So I don't know if you saw this news, but today the Texas Senate

is hosting a hearing with the state's big 12 schools. Yes, the Texas Senate hosting a hearing

today that's going to include representatives from TCU, Texas Tech

Baylor, Texas, and the Big 12 conference, including Commissioner Bob Bullsby.

And they're scheduled to talk about the economic impacts that are going to take place here

with Texas and Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 of the SEC.

And I say it with certainty because it is certain at this point.
