Iowa State and Kansas State just got slapped with $500,000 fines each by the Big 12 for skipping out on their bowl games this year. Both schools are in the middle of coaching changes and said they didn’t have enough healthy players or stability to compete, but the conference says contracts with bowl partners come first. It’s a huge penalty for programs already dealing with big transitions. Do you think the Big 12 should have shown more flexibility, or are these rules necessary to keep the bowl system running? #Sports #Football #Big12
