Is the Big 12 headed toward a full-blown civil war? A new report from longtime sports media insider Jim Williams has sparked major conversation across college football after suggesting Texas Tech is being floated as a contingency option for the ACC if tensions with the Big 12 continue to escalate. While no one is reporting that the Red Raiders are actively leaving the conference, the mere fact that Texas Tech is being mentioned alongside the ACC raises serious questions about the current state of the Big 12 and commissioner Brett Yormark's leadership following weeks of controversy surrounding the Brendan Sorsby eligibility saga. What does this mean for West Virginia, Rich Rodriguez, and the future of the conference? Is this simply leverage, or could realignment rumors be heating up once again? In this episode, we break down: The Jim Williams report and what was actually said. Why Texas Tech's relationship with the Big 12 has become so strained. Brett Yormark's position in the middle of the controversy. Whether the ACC would have genuine interest in Texas Tech. What this means for West Virginia and the rest of the Big 12 moving forward. The likelihood of any future conference realignment. If you enjoy daily West Virginia and Big 12 coverage, be sure to subscribe and join the conversation below!
