Following Wednesday’s announcement by Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark that the conference would be seeking to open media rights negotiations with FOX and ESPN 18 months ahead of schedule, there are reports that those discussions have heated up talk of Oklahoma and Texas exiting for the SEC ahead of the expected 2025 date currently in place. Dennis Dodd at CBS Sports was the first to report on the existence of those talks, as the two schools face payment of $80 million in exit fees to the Big 12, unless that number is negotiated lower. It’s believed that ESPN is open…

Two Junction City school buildings were briefly placed on lockdown Wednesday morning. Junction City Police responded to a call around 10 a.m. on the northwest side of the city, resulting in the nearby Karns building and Westwood Elementary school being placed into lock down in an abundance of caution.

New TCU coach Sonny Dykes saw a drastic shift in Big 12 offenses during his first stint in the conference in the early 2000s. Now that he’s come back, he sees the times are a-changin’ still. “Man, it’s changed. … When I got in the league, it was a two-back power league. And by time I left the league, it was everybody being Air Raid,” said Dykes, a Texas Tech assistant from 2000-06. “And then I think at some point there’s been an adjustment that’s happened since then.” The Big 12 will begin its 27th season this week with some uncertainty…
The Big 12 has announced it is beginning conversations on new media contracts with Fox and ESPN, making the move to begin those discussions a full year-and-a-half ahead of the expiration of their current contracts. ESPN’s Pete Thamel was first to report the development, confirmed by the Big 12 office. “It is an exciting time for college athletics and given the changing landscape we welcome the opportunity to engage with our partners to determine if an early extension is in the best interest of all parties,” said Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark in a statement issued by the conference Wednesday…
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs wanted to get younger around quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the rest of their veteran core. They couldn’t have done it much better through the draft. The Chiefs selected 10 players in April, their most in 14 years, and all but one made the final cutdown Tuesday for teams to reach the 53-man limit for the regular season. Some of them, such as first-rounders Trent McDuffie and George Karlaftis, were locks from the moment their names were read while others played their way onto a perennial Super Bowl contender. That includes two…
CHICAGO (AP) — Rookie Nick Pratto hit two home runs to highlight a career-high four-hit performance and the Kansas City Royals sent the Chicago White Sox to their fifth straight loss, 9-7 on Tuesday night.
