? Do geography and convenience matter anymore?

Yormark: Yes it does. We actually wanted to be at AT&T stadium, but there was a scheduling conflict. There is a benefit to doing different things. We have to embrace change.

? You made the point that the Big 12 is the deepest Football league...why?

Yormark: Parody. Star Power - Quarterbacks. We were deep last year and deeper this year with the 4 corners. We underperformed last season.

? Is there any number that is too big for our conference?

Yormark: It's not about the number. It's about the right fit and the value the school brings.
