To say that now-retired Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops was the face of the Big 12 isn't that far off. If you take into consideration that the Big 12 began fielding teams in 1996, and that Stoops took over the Sooners in 1999, the conference's history and Stoops' history in Norman have more or less been intertwined.

And, good lord, Stoops dominated during his time in the Big 12.

Stoops was 190-48 at Oklahoma.
