Yormark Leaves Big 12

[Inspired73]

I have a little different take.  I do not think he was all bad.  He tried to inject a little bit of sizzle in a conference that was (and is) mired in never-never land (never good enough to hunt with the big dogs, but never crumby enough to be a MAC clone).  Let's face it.  If you have a crappy piece of meat, no matter how you cook it...........it tastes terrible.

I think he didn't understand how difficult dealing with University Presidents, AD's, etc really could be.  It gives new meaning to the phrase "hearding cats".  The Tech thing probably just pushed him over the edge.

Speaking from experience, sometimes a divorce is best for all parties.

The Big 12 is still the Big 12.

Actually it has been the mediocre 12 since OU and Texas left.

Yeah, that's true, but the way Patterson utterly destroyed Texas athletics for 10+ years for as little of a tenure he had was something to behold. He was Atilla the Hun.
