Post by: Pete on December 07, 2014, 11:48:34 AM
Now that the Big 12 has good and truly been mumped in the ass, will Bob Bowlsby step up and show why he earns a pay check?

Or, will he merely sit back and take this quietly. 



Curious to see what comes out of his office.

His pussiness just cost the Big 12 a lot of money and publicity.

So what the conference needed, was for Baylor (or TCU) to play Kansas State in a championship game.  Oh wait.

And this isn't a big 12 issue.  It's the name of Baylor and TCU.  If it was Texas and OK, the big 12 gets one of them in.

He's not an advocate for the conference.

Agreed, and I don't think it will happen.

I posted this in another thread....We'll RE-ask to be allowed to have a championship game, and they'll grant it in the spirit of this new "don't tread on me" de-regulation in D1.   Then we'll start playing a championship game.  Rear view mirror for the rest of the conference and 1998 for the rest of Baylor and TCU fans' lives.

It's key for Baylor and TCU to win/dominate their bowl games.  If they do, then Big 12 will go into next season without any real prestige hit (maybe even a bit of a boost versus losing in the first round of the playoffs).

of course it didn't. if it were tu and ou the argument would've been whether or not both teams would get in. instead it was baylor and tcu and the argument was whether either should get in. neither did.

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby is getting hammered on twitter.

It has not been a good 24 hours for Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby.

After being confronted by Baylor head coach Art Briles on Saturday night for not presenting the Bears as sole Big 12 champions in lieu of beating co-champion TCU, Bowlsby is being destroyed on social media on Sunday after No. 5 Baylor and No. 6 TCU were both left out of the College Football Playoff.

Bowlsby is being blamed primarily for refusing to name an outright Big 12 champion despite the league’s “One True Champion” slogan and not having a 12-team conference and therefore, no conference championship game like the other Power 5 conferences.

Some of the best reactions include:
