Plus: The Ehlinger family on the late Jake’s untimely death
Big 12 Conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby is leaning into his loser’s limp.
The Austin American-Statesman asked Bowlsby if he’s “still pissed off.” Bowlsby answered, “I have to get over the sense of personal betrayal and do what’s necessary for our eight continuing members. And that’s what we did” by adding four new schools to the league.
In other words, boo hoo. Boo, hoo hoo hoo.
