Big 12 Media Days are underway at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas, and commissioner Bob Bowlsby wasted no time Monday morning in highlighting a much-needed stretch of success for the Big 12 during the 2017-18 school year.
Just one year after failed expansion and a second College Football Playoff omission still cast a cloud of uncertainty over the conference, the Big 12 is now coming off a year in which it had at least one representative in the College Football Playoff, Final Four, College World Series and Women’s College World Series. That’s a feat that no other Power 5 conference can claim regarding last season, and just one of many points which Bowlsby touched on to get things underway.
