Has the Big 12 just made the gutsiest move of the past 10 years led by Commissioner Bob

Bolsby? Yep, I think so. And I absolutely love it. I love it. I'm Pete Mundo,

Heartlandcolleagelessports.com. Appreciate you guys joining us and being a part of the show.

It's great to have you here. So this is a big time week, big time day.

Conference realignment obviously is stealing the show. And on Wednesday of this week,

the Big 12 sent a cease and assist letter to ESPN. And now the relationship between the Big 12 and ESPN,

who helps pay the Big 12 $37 million per year is incredibly fractured.

And I'm here to eat it up and love on it and say, go Bob Bullsby, go.

All right.

So here are the allegations.

Here's what's going on.

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlesby sent a cease and assist letter to ESPN.

And now the relationship is up in the air. Here is what they are saying. The letter demands ESPN and quote, all actions that may harm the conference and its members and that it not communicate with the big 12 conferences existing members or any NCAA conference

regarding the Big 12 conferences members, possible conference realignment,

or potential financial incentive or outcomes related to possible conference realignment.

So that came out on Wednesday afternoon.

And what the allegations essentially are here is that ESPN was working behind the scenes

to get Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC and then also talking to the ACC about becoming a megacconference

with the remaining eight big 12 teams.

That's what the allegations are.

So Bolsby did a more intense, exclusive interview with Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports.

And the main line to take out of that, there's a lot of good stuff to take out of it.
