The Ohio judge who granted 15 athletes additional eligibility did not disclose his school “ties,” NCAA says in a statement to Yahoo.

Chris Wagner is a graduate of Xavier & Cincinnati Law. His wife is a dean at UC Law.

Five of the athletes are affiliated with Cincinnati/Xavier.

This just isn’t true. Say what you want about Tech, but in no way are the Red Raiders the story of one man’s money.

The @Big12Conference is one screwed up conference, and was on display live from Frisco, Texas today. It was interesting watching their dysfunctional group operate, especially considering that 3/4 of the schools are have-nots on sinking ships who seem to be hell bent on pulling everyone down with them.

In the Big Ten we definitely have our issues such as UM launching a multi-state, illegal spy ring, getting away with it far too long, and parlaying it into a national title the next year. But we keep our spats in house, our coaches and ADs don't run to the media whining like little girls about other Big Ten schools, and our Commissioner isn't a virtue-signaling wuss.

The Big 12 has so many have-nots who never have and never will that their loser mindset has completely. They absolutely can't stand that Tx Tech has become the conference heavyweight, and as a result they all scurry around sniping about TT to the media, leaking information from internal meetings to create false narratives, and scurrying around like a bunch of bitter ex-wives with too much time on their hands.

Iowa State is a prime example: they bring absolutely nothing to that conference yet were the loudest whiners about Brendan Sorsby winning his injunction. And because their athletic department is basically insolvent their AD has been whining incessantly about trying to make TT pay the legal bills (they won't, and no court would hold them liable for those bills). This is the same school who's coach bolted for a better job so they decided to decline a bowl bid, costing the conference millions of dollars (and Yormark reduced their fine after they whined about being held accountable).

The Iowa States, Kansas States, Central Floridas (since when are directional schools in a P4 conference?) who contribute nothing to the league can't stand it that their league mate has multiple billionaires who care enough to build Tx Tech into a national power at a time the conference desperately needed one.

Now they are like crabs in a barrel trying to keep anyone from getting ahead (thanks @ChrisAcer5, great analogy) and would clearly prefer the entire league stay at the bottom with them. Commissioner Wussmark apparently agrees since he destroyed Tx Tech's decades-old tortilla tradition (they're dangerous!).

The Big 12 is a race to the bottom, and it has a huge head start with a who's who of have-nots throughout the league. It's fascinating to watch their pettiness toward the one school in the league that has the resources to actually compete. The "if I can't have it then no one should have it" mentality of this league is a spectacle to behold.

Just go look at an Iowa State or Kansas State message board -- 80% of their posts are whining about you-know-who.

Tx Tech seems to be fine with it because all it does is drive their team closer together and give them an edge at a time when overlooking all the have-nots would be easy to do.

In a few years when TV contracts start coming up for renewal again, maybe all these have-nots will find a happier home in the G5 where they belong.

All these Europeans are complaining that Americans are suggesting improvements to soccer.

Improving things constantly is why American GDP is $30T and you still have no AC in 2026.

In our own sports, we've fixed overtime rules in the NFL, flopping rules in the NBA, and added the pitch clock in the MLB, all in the last few years.

Adapt or die.
