Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league in a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights.
Q: Any truth to rumor that Beard will leave Lubbock for UCLA?
It makes total sense for UCLA to pursue Chris Beard -- which probably means the Bruins will go in a different direction. While UCLA is attractive because of the tradition and being in Westwood, I don't know if it's a great job anymore. Right now, Beard has a good thing going in Lubbock.
