@Dmccauslin@FrontPorchU Baylor has the second most big 12 championships among current members and they appeared in a CCG 2 years removed from scandal. Dave Aranda won a big 12 championship and sugar bowl in 2021. TCU has a playoff win and natty appearance. They are certainly in the top echelon.
@be_everett@TheGBCoach Some might have said hell would freeze over before Baylor ever won the big12. Waco was so cold that hell must’ve got a little frost.
@HuskGuys What rhule was good at was program building by finding 3star gems and developing them exceptionally well. A lot of those Baylor players turned out to be NFL guys and/or won the 21 big12 ship for Aranda. I don’t think you can build programs like that in the portal/NIL era.
@Genetics56 That’s one way to look at it I guess. On the other hand, taking the pac12 schools secured the conference’s existence by eliminating the pac12 as a plausible raiding threat/competitor.
