We’re live in Dallas for Big 12 media days, and though a West Virginia uniform is in the building, the actual Mountaineers don’t appear until tomorrow. They’ll have a busy day.

Today’s schedule is busy, with or without WVU. At 10:05 a.m., commissioner Bob Bowlsby has his state of the union deal, which has been eventful through the years. In 2012, the Big 12 was minting off its grant of rights deal. In 2013, Bowlsby was the first to publicly stump for autonomy. In 2014, Bowlsby had pointed comments about rules and enforcement and famously said “I think it’s not an understatement to say that cheating pays presently.” Last year, Bowlsby dealt with the national profile of the Big 12 and whether his league was indeed at a psychological disadvantage.

It’s always something, so stay tuned today. I’ve got you covered for that. After he’s done — and there’s an hour set aside for his commentary and then questions and answers — TCU coach Gary Patterson, Kansas coach David Beatty , Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell and Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy follow.

Hey, don’t look now, but we’re almost there, everybody.
