There is lack of job security. There is a severe lack of job security. And then there was the tenuous situation between the Big XII, and conference commissioner Dan Beebe. The two sides have famously clashed for a while now, and it was almost assured that if the conference were to be saved, Beebe would […]

As a two-time B1G Ten alumnus, I was outraged. Apparently, the Pittsburgh Panthers were up for grabs and somebody in Chicago was asleep at his desk and lost the chance to add a marquee program to the conference. Pittsburgh and the University of Syracuse bailed on the Big East to jump at the invitation to […]
