We all know and love the revenue sports like football and basketball, but pickleball has become a popular sport to play, especially among college students. It’s easy to learn and great to play with friends, and it doesn’t require God-given talent or athleticism in order to perform at a high level.

As we’ve seen, the Big 12 may very well be the best conference in the country — but who will take the crown?
The most exciting news for the Big 12 in recent years has been the addition of new teams to the conference. Despite the loss of Texas and Oklahoma, a massive introduction of eight other teams makes up for it. However, the question is, how has conference realignment affected Big 12 sports, big and small?

Let me preface what’s to come with a statement I truly believe – Dave Aranda is an elite defensive coordinator with a great knowledge of the game and has the makings of a successful head coach. With that said, I don’t think he resembles a ‘successful’ head coach in the modern collegiate game.

I’ll be the first to tell you I was one of the more than seven million pseudo-fans cheering on Colorado against then-No. 17 TCU during the most-watched college football telecast of week one.

The Baylor football program has unintentionally created a culture that breeds apathy.
It’s time for Baylor football to hand the ball off more to one of its most dynamic weapons — sophomore running back Richard Reese. The Bears thrive when he’s given opportunities and struggle when he isn’t.
