Cody Campbell made his billions by knowing when to buy low. Facing college football’s Wild West era, Texas Tech smelled opportunity. In the most ambitious story of my career, I went to Lubbock and wrote about the transformative power of aspiration. cbssports.com/college-footba…
Why isn’t Memphis the ideal team for the Big 12? Great market ✅ Passionate fanbase ✅ Proven success ✅ Yet they keep getting the cold shoulder. Just a day after another Big 12 snub… it’s worth asking: What’s holding them back? 👀 #Big12 #Memphis
America would fall in love with the opportunity to watch Indiana vs. Iowa (Not a joke, that would have been the 3 vs. 6 play-in last year)
I asked Petitti on the podium about the public overwhelmingly supporting 5+11 over his preferred format. He emphasized how meaningful the play-in games (3 vs. 6, 4 vs. 5) will be if every conference does it. "I think fans will gravitate to it."
There is one time they were flat out, no excuses wrong. It was FSU. You can disagree with others (sad sic ‘em) but anyone trying to act like “committee performance” is a problem is frankly not a serious person.
The thing about the CFP selection committee is that they’ve almost always gotten it right. Only one or two truly questionable moments (FSU). Also because their job has mostly been pretty easy. The bashing of them is mostly projecting from parties who have their own motives.
Tulane needed a quarterback. Jake Retzlaff needed a home. The transfer comes with major complications for the Green Wave, but it's well worth it. I break down why. cbssports.com/college-footba…

The Big 12's board is not interested in adding Memphis to the conference, soruces tell @CBSSports. Memphis drafted a proposal to join the Big 12 that includes providing the conference about $200 million in various sponsorships.
Texas A&M student-athletes received a combined $51.4 million in NIL compensation from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, according to figures received through open records . Men's sports received a combined $49.2M. Women's sports received a combined $2.2M: theeagle.com/sports/college…
Texas State football coach GJ Kinne believes retention is the No. 1 priority. However, the Bobcats still lost 20 players to the transfer portal. How can they retain their best players? The move to the Pac-12 may help with that. #eatemup statesman.com/story/sports/c…

While at Big 12 Media days we had a chance to catch up with a few members of the national media to get their thoughts on Scott Frost's return and UCF's outlook in 2025 #UCF #UCFKnights #Big12FB Link in comments...
Steve Sarkisian: "Preseason rankings are great and they're great for the popularity of our sport. It keeps the conversation of CFB on the forefront of people's minds... but in reality they don't matter. What we do on the field is going to be what dictates how our season goes."
