If some team could craft a recruiting boost from both solid spending and sustained success, perhaps they could ride that to a series of conference titles and, perhaps, even playoff runs? I admittedly didn't have a specific team in...

Over the past three days, we have seen pushback from schools across the Big 12 and college football regarding the decision from a Texas judge. Now, that conversation has centered on whether schools would schedule Texas Tech for future games in all sports.
Texas AG threatens legal war against Big 12 over potential sanctions around Brendan Sorsby
