The conversation focused on Big 12 Media Days fallout, Texas Tech’s public perception, and Joey McGuire’s standing after recent controversies. A key theme that emerged was the disconnect between fan uproar on social media and the reality inside the conference, with sources close to Texas Tech firmly denying any serious move to the ACC.
