I understand how fragile the conference is at this point. But where is this crap coming from that Nebraska and Colorado singlehandedly somehow made the Big XII more of a football power conference?

*I know historically, they're a much better program but that's looking like a longer and longer time ago. Since 2003, they have 63 wins. Texas Tech has 62 and Mizzou 58 and both Kansas schools have been to a BCS bowl more recently than Nebraska.

Yeah I think the whole national coverage of the Big 12 has been very un-educated at best. UT/OU/KU/K-State/Mizzou/OSU/TT have all had a top 5 ranking/national title hopes since the inception of this conference. (K-State may be a bit of a stretch but they were a player for a few years there)
