• Nine current or former Cowboys will be in the US Open this week – check out the details here (PFB)

• Fascinating to read about revenue generated from football in the Big 12 and how it impacts the rest of the programs – OSU netted over $24M from football, squarely in the middle between Utah bringing in over $50M net as a league-leader, while Cincinnati lost $16.7M.

Oklahoma State brought in nearly $57 million from football, good for a surplus of $24.1 million.  [247 Sports]
