Big 12 football faces fan backlash as Texas Tech gets two Saturday games stripped, with a marquee matchup against Houston moved to Friday night. The Big 12 Squad debates the impact of weeknight games on local attendance, high school football culture, and the conference’s national exposure. Does this scheduling decision actually give Houston a major advantage, and why isn’t the Big 12 showcasing its top games on Saturdays like the SEC? The squad also explores massive shifts in college basketball: NIL deals and NBA draft prospects are reshaping Big 12 rosters as stars like Joseph Tugler and AJ Dybantsa weigh million-dollar decisions. Is college basketball’s calendar out of sync with the pros? Plus, Big 12 baseball’s heavyweights stumble while Kansas leads the standings—should athletic departments invest in sports beyond football and men’s basketball, or is NIL funding now changing the game for non-revenue sports forever?

Jerome Tang’s rumored return to Baylor Basketball sparks debate—can reuniting with Scott Drew restore the Bears’ winning edge, or is it simply the easy move? Cam Stewart examines Tang’s unique fit on the coaching staff, potential distractions related to his Kansas State exit, and Baylor’s need for coaching continuity after recent setbacks. Are the Bears banking too heavily on reviving the past to fix their present struggles?

On the recruiting front, five-star prospect Dylan Mingo reopens his recruitment after decommitting from North Carolina. Will Baylor land this high-profile freshman, or would the price tag and one-and-done risk outweigh the upside?
