Pretty surprising – Tyron Johnson was cut by the LA Chargers yesterday. Dillon Stoner was waived but is headed for the practice squad with the Raiders.

• Three things to look for from the Oklahoma State offense this week against Missouri State

• Kyle Boone ranks the Big 12 expansion candidates

Another interesting aspect of all of this: where would these athletic programs be if they were brought into the Big 12 in 2016? Can you imagine how much more attractive they’d be with an extra $100m of TV money invested in their athletic programs over five years?

Also, the Big 12 won’t need to do much work to learn about new applicants for the conference:

The Big 12’s infamous 2016 expansion process, during which the conference asked for applications from prospective members and interviewed at least 11 schools, gives the league more than a jumpstart.
