There was no reason for them to hang on to Neal Brown outside of money. It wouldn't be the slightest bit surprising if he's fired by week 3 anyways after they get destroyed by PSU and probably Pitt as well.

Big XII media picked their preseason rankings today:

pre:
2023 Big 12 Football Media Preseason Poll
1. Texas (41), 886
2. Kansas State (14), 858
3. Oklahoma (4), 758
4. Texas Tech (4), 729
5. TCU (3), 727
6. Baylor, 572
7. Oklahoma State (1), 470
8. UCF, 463
9. Kansas, 461
10. Iowa State, 334
11. BYU, 318
12. Houston, 215
13. Cincinnati, 202
14. West Virginia, 129
Tech with a little bit of a darkhorse aspect going on. Feels kinda odd to be a popular overperform pick.

Texas and K-State #1 and #2 in most polls. TCU falls all the way to 5 in polling: they lost most their offense, will be starting fresh. Big transfer class, though.

Seems fair but as always Texas is too high. Can't see UCF cracking that top five this year but they're on the path to being there next year, especially without the two departing teams. That said, if our QB can somehow put it together (not likely) we may challenge a few of those top guys. We've got a lot of recruiting juice for the next few years so I'm excited to see how things shake out. What's most important is that we were rated the top of the incoming teams, as we should be. Also I didn't know West Virginia's prospects were that dire.

Speaking of teams we hate, I saw an online dating profile where she answered the "last time I cried happy tears" prompt with "2015 when Ohio State won the national championship in football and Duke won in basketball".

She was cute, but hell no to that combo.

While he’s absolutely correct, why in the world would you even say this as a current player on a rival team?

I can’t find the full clip but he called out the person who flipped it because it’s a clip taken out of context.

This begs the question, where does the line draw between puerile but harmless joshing and hazing? The report is light on details of what went on. I feel like jokes in college were either at the expense of a friend or puns. How intense did the hazing get?

The report doesn't say what happens, claims the coaches didn't know but should have, and a suspension in early July seems like a blatant cover your rear end operation with the school hoping to bury whatever happened.

I think WVU is really, really bad though. Besides, I've seen a lot more wins than losses in person since things kinda started turning around when Barkley was a freshman in 2015.

Kayak is true
Is it just me, or are the media days happening earlier and earlier every year? Like, I seem to recall all the conference media days happening end of July and first week of August, right before fall camp started.

The Big XII Media days are next week. What gives?

Also, the Big XII Media days are going to be livestreamed on ESPN+ for the first time. Which is interesting. At least the main stage, not necessarily any breakouts.

I'm not a guy who knows WVU but from what I do know the outlook seems rough.

There are administrational things going on here beside the football (or basketball) program that are no bueno.

Don't hire Gordon Gee and his bow tie seems to be my takeaway. There's a lot of stuff that is not good going on over there and Bob Huggins isn't the problem in the larger point of view. I mean he had to go away, but that isn't the problem for the AD, there's more stuff going on.

Seriously, and suspending him in July? This is, like, the ultimate message that the administration does not give a single gently caress. I'm not saying it's defensible if it's a winning program, I'm saying there is zero reason to do this unless you're covering up something even worse.

Is this more or less offensive than Rovell trying to scalp civil rights memorabilia? He's so slimy I don't know if he could be defeated by public pressure.
