COLUMBIA | Unless prompted, the players on the Missouri football team don’t talk about it much. Unless pushed, MU coach Gary Pinkel doesn’t talk about it at all. But there is an obvious chip on the shoulder of each and every Missouri Tiger, the result of being cast as the school to blame for the Big 12 Conference nearly blowing apart in the Great Expansion Scare of the past offseason.

With just under four weeks remaining until the start of the 2010 college football season, five Big 12 Conference teams are seeking an answer to the same question: Who will be the starting quarterback?

The Big Ten Conference announced Thursday that Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis has been chosen as site for the inaugural…

QUARTERBACKS Even Austen Arnaud said his 60 percent career completion rate isn?t good enough to cut it in the Big 12. ?I have to be better,? he said. ?I didn?t play great last year ?

Suspended Iowa State football player David Sims pleaded guilty Monday to unauthorized use of a credit card, according to courts on-line. He received a deferred judgment and was sentenced to 18 months probation. Sims was charged with the misdemeanor on July 17 in Ames.

Gary Pinkel does not argue that Missouri’s 8-5 record and 4-4 Big 12 Conference finish last season did not represent a step back from the momentum built the previous two seasons. After winning the Big 12 North in back-to-back years, Pinkel’s Tigers finished tied for second in the division in his ninth season as coach in Columbia. Those are the facts.

The Big 12 Conference promised Texas A&M $20 million annually starting in 2012-13, and the Aggies intend to collect, A&M president R. Bowen Loftin said Wednesday.

Since its inaugural league championship game in 1996, the Big 12 has enjoyed a marquee national-television presence on the first Saturday of every December. But with Nebraska and Colorado leaving the conference without enough teams to play a title game, the Big 12 is looking for other ways to fill that valuable window.

Dallas, Texas ? With the Big 12 going to a nine-game conference schedule in 2011, something in the nonconference department has to give. In Iowa State’s case, it might be the Utah game. “That’s certainly a possibility because of their move into the Pac-10 Conference,” Cyclone coach Paul Rhoads said

Dan Beebe, pictured in a file photo, confirmed for the first time that football teams will play nine-game conference schedules starting in 2011, up from eight game in the 12-team league. (AP FILE PHOTO) Irving, Texas ? The Big 12 Conference will not replace Nebraska and Colorado when those teams officially go their separate ways, commissioner Dan Beebe told reporters Tuesday at the Big 12 Conference Media Days. “Right now, there’s no affirmative interest by our members in expanding whatsoever,” Beebe said.

Here are Mike Gundy’s comments from the podium at the Big 12 Conference Media Days on Tuesday, July 27.

Dallas, Texas – Austen Arnaud finally experienced recently what some would call the finer points of Las Vegas – the stuff he couldn’t do when Iowa State played at UNLV in 2008. “First night I got there, I played the sucker game,” he said. “I played roulette, and actually got up a little.” Things went downhill when he tested that first-timer’s luck.

Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe will have tough questions to answer at the league’s football media sessions this week. (Associated Press file photo) D allas, Texas – They aren’t likely to exchange Christmas cards. They probably won’t schedule nonconference home-and-home games. They won’t even pass in the lobby at the Dallas Westin hotel when Big 12 Conference football coaches and players assemble with the media this week.

The newcomer honor went to Colorado receiver Toney Clemons, who will be a junior after transferring from Michigan

Nebraska and Oklahoma were selected to win their respective divisions in the Big 12 Conference football preseason poll, as voted on by 26 members of the media who cover the conference.
