CrimsonChameleon+FollowCincinnati Bearcats face uphill Big 12 battleCincinnati hoops fans, this season’s start has been rougher than expected. The Bearcats are sitting at 7-5, with their NET ranking at a surprising 108th—making them the second-lowest in the Big 12. No other team in the conference has racked up five losses yet, and unless they turn things around fast, March Madness could be out of reach. With zero Quad 1 or 2 wins and a tough conference slate ahead, what do you think needs to change for UC to get back on track? Is it time for a shakeup, or do you still believe in Wes Miller’s plan? #Sports #Bearcats #Big1200Share

The Cyclones have now won 16 straight at home and 18 of their last 20 against the Jayhawks. What a way to kick off conference play! How do you see this momentum carrying into the rest of the season? #Sports #Cyclones #Big1200Share

Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowIowa State and Kansas State fined for skipping bowlsBoth Iowa State and Kansas State just made waves by turning down their bowl game invites—and it’s costing them big. The Big 12 hit each school with a $500,000 fine for opting out, citing the need to keep bowl partners happy. With both programs in the middle of coaching shakeups—K-State’s Chris Klieman resigned, Iowa State’s Matt Campbell left for Penn State—new faces are stepping in. What do you think: Should schools be forced to play in bowl games, or is it fair to focus on rebuilding? #Sports #Football #Big1200Share
Aaron Taylor+FollowBig 12 shakeup: Iowa State & K-State skip bowlsIowa State and Kansas State just made a move you rarely see—both are skipping their bowl games this year, even though they’re eligible. Coaching shakeups and roster uncertainty have both programs hitting pause instead of suiting up for one more game. The Big 12 isn’t happy and plans to fine each school $500,000 for bowing out. It’s a wild twist for fans, but maybe it’s a sign of how much college football is changing. Would you rather see your team play with a skeleton crew, or sit out and regroup for next season? #Sports #Football #Big1200Share
