Some "Shock Jock" types ( podcasters and tik tok) have started talking about the Big 12's troubles. They have made some good points:
1. Colorado will be the bell-cow with Utah graduating a lot of seniors and the rest of the traditional Big 12 teams being down. The rest of the add-ons aren't going to add much,
2. The recruiting rankings aren't impressive for any future Big 12 team.
3. Good odds OU and Texas play in the Championship before they leave. They will be leaving with the largest number of big 12 Championships (just looks bad, I guess).
The prediction is that if one team doesn't do well right away, the negative recruiting will begin about the prestige or lack there of about the BIG 12.
Its easy to see the conference will be teetering and could go either way!
