The Big 12’s Board of Directors is meeting today to discuss some options – three in particular. OSU President Burns Hargis will be included.

On Monday, Hargis again is scheduled for participation in a heavy meeting as the Big 12 Board of Directors discusses three options: a 10-game football schedule (nine league games plus one nonconference contest) that would begin on Sept. 5 or Sept. 12, an 11-game schedule that would begin on Aug. 29, and a 12-game schedule that also would launch on Aug. 29.

• News of the day in college sports yesterday: Pac-12 players collectively demanding a laundry list of major concessions or they won’t play in 2020. (All ten of the Pac-12 fans are surely furious)

• You can get odds on two different Pokes to win the Heisman

NCAA will have to readjust the number for bowl win eligibility – It may be a moot point… do we really feel confident teams will get to play in them?

Thunder/Jazz tipped off four months and 21 days later.
• I think I posted this last week but it was great: “Love is inconvenient.” (faith-based) Liked this Tim Keller quote on the topic of well-rounded love as well.
