While the college football world seemed consumed by the rumors of Lincoln Riley heading to LSU, Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby shared he wasn't fooled by it, taking a subtle shot at the Tigers.
"I really thought that there wasn't much credence to that because I just, I know what a fine guy Lincoln Riley is," Bowlsby said in a radio interview on Sirius/XM. "He's just an outstanding coach, obviously, but he's a high quality person and he is mature beyond his years.
"And so, you know, it was a little surprising that he jump ship (for USC), but I wasn't surprised that he wasn't interested in the LSU position because culturally that's just not what Lincoln Riley is.
