## Resource

-Yormark on Tuesday at Big 12 Media Days said that the conference isn’t yet the best version of themselves, and on Wednesday when talking to ESPNU, he said that the Big 12 is more of a “mature start-up,” in their 30 th year but when comparing to the other power conferences they’re just starting -That part is probably true---which begs the question----can the Big 12 ever catch up to the B1G and SEC?
