Extra! Extra! Big 12 Hoops Link Dump for 6/21/2011

If you buy something from an SB Nation link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

Welcome to the morning Big 12 Hoops Link Dump. We try and scour the web to find interesting information on each school each morning, but seeing as it is the offseason, some schools might not have press from the day before. Check these links, then come back each day for updated links.
If you have any links of interest, post them in the comments section or send them to me for inclusion tomorrow.

Personal note: I was at Calbert's final college game - the 1993 Elite Eight in StL Dallas Morning News - Big 12 commissioner made almost $1 million; should players get cut?

A review of 2009 IRS returns, the most recent available, shows that Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany was the highest paid, receiving total compensation valued at $1.6 million, followed by Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford ($1.1 million), Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive ($1 million) and Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe ($997,000). The other two commissioners each started in July 2009, so their compensation figures are only for the last six months of the year: PAC-10's Larry Scott ($735,000), and Big East's John Marinatto ($366,000).
