The Big 12

[JasonTAlexanderJR]

The Big 12 is considering

1. Have a sponsored name. Im guessing someone such as the Capital One 12 or the State Farm 12. WTF

2. Having a 15% interest from private investors. Terrible idea. Now you must cater to shareholders and CEOs who will prioritize profits. In this era of paying players this is terrible.

Sponshorship name change would at least give them opportunity to get the number right.

Seems pretty smart economically. A lot of college stadiums/venues are sponsored by companies, such as our own Kroger Field and Central Bank Center. They both seem to work out well for us.

If it's successful, then it won't be too burdensome on the conference as they will have plenty of suiters lined up to sponsor should things go south with the current sponsor.

All the athletic departments within the conference, schools and players should benefit financially to some degree. Not really sure why that's a bad thing to some. Why are so many constantly afraid of change?

Yeah, it makes total sense to keep the “12” part. LOL!
