The Big Lead: Most Desirable Big 12 Schools
posted by Matt Patton, Jul 22, 2011
- Texas Longhorns: Looking forward to the Longhorns as Independents. Just set up the 6-year home-and-home series with Notre Dame already.
- Texas A&M Aggies: Had a rumored offer from the SEC last year and the Pac-10 was supposedly interested, too. The SEC makes most sense because of geography, but as we saw with TCU bolting for the Big East, geography isn’t that big a deal. The key point: the SEC would love to tape into that fertile Texas football market. I think the Aggies would see a serious boost in recruiting because it’s an easy sell to recruits that you get to play in the best conference in college football.
- Oklahoma Sooners: Also had a rumored offer from the SEC last year. If you add A&M and Oklahoma to the SEC, that’s 14 teams … but OU’s longtime rival, Oklahoma State, would be left out. Could the Sooners play an SEC schedule plus add non-league games against the Cowboys and Longhorns? That’s a rough road to win a national title.
- Missouri Tigers: Biggest plus for the Tigers? They’re just two hours outside of St. Louis, which is the 21st largest TV market. One could even make an argument that if Oklahoma demands that Oklahoma State come long, perhaps the SEC would just bypass the Oklahomas and take Missouri as its 14th team. And unlike Oklahoma, Missouri wouldn’t be a power in the SEC (well, at least not initially).
- Oklahoma St. Cowboys: Falls into this weird gray area where the Cowboys (bowl games eight of the last nine years!) don’t have the history of Oklahoma or the location of Texas A&M/Missouri. Oklahoma State probably will just hope that the Sooners let little brother tag along wherever they go … because otherwise, it’s tough to tell who might be interested in the Cowboys.

Katz Ranks the Top Wooden Candidates
posted by markallanpeterson, Aug 19, 2009
- Cole Aldrich, Kansas -- Aldrich has a chance to be a dominant big man on the top team.
- Craig Brackins, Iowa State -- The Big 12's most potent scorer could keep quite a run going of player of the year candidates from this conference after a three-year stretch of Durant, Michael Beasley and Blake Griffin.
- Sherron Collins, Kansas -- Collins has the breakout scoring ability to be a title favorite.
- Luke Harangody, Notre Dame -- Harangody is the favorite for Big East Player of the Year and if he carries the Irish back to the tournament he could be in position to win the award.
- Robbie Hummel, Purdue -- Hummel is the scrappy player who will do anything for a win. He won't have stunning stats but he'll be involved in nearly every big play. If Purdue were to unseat Michigan State for the Big Ten title, then he would have to be considered.
