The Big 12's athletic directors voted 11-1 in March to keep the Big 12 Championship at Cowboys Stadium (http://www.huskerextra.com/articles/2010/05/04/football/doc4bdf926c39995040840910.txt?orss=1). Though it was an unofficial, measuring-stick sort of vote, Steven Sipple at the Omaha World-Herald reports the lone dissenter was Nebraska AD Tom Osborne.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel looks back on his memories of the Kent State incident (http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/mizzou/story/9C3ED95E527B614E862577190009514C?OpenDocument) 40 years ago with Vahe Gregorian of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Matt Hinton at Dr. Saturday has Colorado coach Dan Hawkins among his six underdogs to root for in 2010. (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Why-we-need-underdogs-and-six-to-root-for-this-?urn=ncaaf,238371)
Ndamukong Suh was among several former Nebraska greats taking part in Bo Pelini's golf tournament (http://www.huskerextra.com/articles/2010/05/04/football/doc4bdf8746ce3dc405639532.txt?orss=1) on Monday.
But Pelini isn't too concerned about Nebraska splitting (http://www.omaha.com/article/20100503/BIGRED03/100509900) for the Big Ten in the future.
Pete Fiutak ranks his 2010 Heisman hopefuls on Scout.com, but only one Big 12 player made the cut (http://cfn.scout.com/2/966826.html): Garrett Gilbert.
There's a recession going on, but nobody bothered to tell Texas (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/050510dnspocollutlitman.157d58f0.html), whose revenue rose 32 percent last year, writes Laken Litman in the Dallas Morning News. Texas A&M also saw a rise in revenue.
Freshman linebacker Tom Wort's play isn't the only thing turning heads at Oklahoma (http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/college/Wort_turns_heads_at_Oklahoma.html), writes Jerry Briggs at the San Antonio Express-News.
The Big 12 police blotter has been mostly quiet this spring, but Kansas State redshirt freshman running back John Hubert was arrested at a residence hall in connection with a domestic dispute. (http://cjonline.com/sports/football/2010-05-03/ksu_rb_hubert_arrested)
Colorado junior linebacker Brandon Gouin was also arrested and later suspended by Hawkins for allegedly supplying beer for a high school campout (http://www.dailycamera.com/news/ci_15006292#axzz0myJn2g9U) last week.

I suspect it was a financially motivated decision. Jerryworld pays better than arrohead.
