The Big 12 has taken a stand.
At some point this season — most notably in West Virginia's win over Texas on Nov. 3 — the conference decided it will no longer permit opposing players to flash the 'horns down' hand sign in celebration.
This is an old Mack Brown idea that will apparently be enforced on Saturday in Arlington when the Sooners and Longhorns meet in the Big 12 Championship.
Fans on both sides of the aisle should be bummed by this, because it limits one of the things that makes college football rivalries so great: trash talk.
