Let’s look back at the top four Bowlsby moments as Big 12 commissioner.
4. Suspending Texas Tech’s Brian Jensen
and John Harris from broadcasting a game on radio for calling out terrible referring.
3. Bowlsby being ‘grateful’ to OU for suspending Baker Mayfield for two series.
2. One True Champion that they can’t actually define. Great marketing campaign!
And the crème de La crème:
1. At 2021’s Big 12 media day declaring realignment dead and a week later it leaked out that both UT and OU would be leaving the for the SEC. A formal vote was held the next week and both of those schools were accepted. It should be noted that Bowlsby was working with SEC commissioner Greg Sankey on the CFB playoff while the SEC was actively working to bring over UT and OU.
