Execs have discussed playoffs expansion, but there doesn't seem to be any urgency to move away from 4 teams.

"If it ain't broke"... It will take multiple years of either the B1G or SEc gaining more than 1 bid for there to be enough clamor to expand the playoffs to a more fair system...

Baylor finally getting what they gave?  Good on you pokes.   Good.  On.  You.

 
So a rematch that produced the same results is an "unqualified success?"

Ok..
Also says that the conference is leaving alcohol sales in stadiums up to the discretion of each school.
As it should be..

Well, it did earn everyone an extra $3 mill for hookers and blow.   I don't trust you if you aren't voting for hookers and blow.

Remember that awkward scene in the NFL Playoffs after the Vikings beat New Orleans on that miracle heave and the referees pulled the Saints out of the locker room for a meaningless PAT? Offenses can now decline to participate in those situations, says the Big 12. #Big12MediaDays

That fair catch rule is so stupid-- essentially that if a kickoff is fair caught anywhere within the 25 yard line, the team gets it at the 25. Why even kickoff anymore?

So other teams can point and laugh when Kris Boyd tries to return it out of the endzone.

Big 12 is implementing screens on the sideline this year so referees in charge of the game can see the play for the first time during the league's use of replay. Gives ref input and clarity on the decision as well.

Greg Burks talking up the Big 12's new "collaborative" replay center. Basically, somebody in Irving will be watching replays live, too. IMO, that still won't address the many stoppages.

Wow, this one is interesting.   So if a block stops the hand, while the elbow is going forward, it wouldn't be a pass, but a fumble.   I like.

Next year will be interesting with all new officials in the Big XII then.

Can we provide the kids w/ some ironed pants that fit? Or is there a NCAA rule against that?

He said when asked why keep kickoffs, he says in case a team wants to onside. Still stupid.

I think the one that I heard that makes the most sense is make it like a 4th and 15 from the 35 or whatever. Either punt (which eliminates the 30 yard head of steam each side gets since everyone is on the LOS) or go for it like you would on an onside. Make the yardage needed whatever has an equiv. Success rate as an onside

I agree.

That being said, why not make the rule something like inside the 20 you can fair catch and get it at the 20. 

Endzone -> 25

Inside 20-> 20

The whole 25 yard line thing was meant to incentive the receiving team into fair catching. 

There has to be somewhat of a 'penalty' for doing it inside the field of play... right?

Wouldn't be surprised if a team broke 100 this year. This is huge if you are smart team. Only 75 yards guaranteed for a touchdown each drive.

So TCU and Tech girls can't count...and either TCU or fuckou girls don't know how to organize.

Also, not much talent there.  Only the first OSU and perhaps both KU.  Otherwise...eesh!

Does not meet HR's diversity goal.

Big 12 does not meet exceptional performance due to lack of achieving all goals.

Quality of work in the areas of all but one Texas teams is stellar. Still needs to work harder in achieving same results in colder climates and especially at religious affiliated schools.

What was the average starting field position after a kickoff last year?

Those of you watching..

Please tell me Holgy looks like he's been on a 3 week hookers and blow bender..

And rocking a bald man mullet that will make Gundy blush.

I see no team sent their best possible..

TCU sent 4 but probably should have sent a few from their dance team instead.
