EspañolBIG 12 CONFERENCE
(Redirected from Big 12)
The 'Big 12 Conference' is a college athletic conference of twelve schools located in the central United States. It is a member of the NCAA's Division I for all sports; its football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS; formerly Division I-A), the highest of two levels of NCAA Division I football competition. The conference was officially formed on February 25, 1994, when the former Big Eight Conference merged with four Texas schools that had been members of the Southwest Conference, which had just disbanded. Athletic competition in the conference commenced on August 31, 1996. Big 12 headquarters is located in the Dallas, Texas suburb of Irving. According to the Big 12 Conference's website, the use of the alternate names "Big Twelve" and "Big XII" are incorrect; the trademarked name of the conference is "Big 12 Conference" (notwithstanding the Roman numeral XII featured on the conference logo).[1]
Although all eight of the former Big 8 schools are members of the Big 12, the Big 12 does not claim the Big 8's history as its own. However, many fans of the old Big 8 schools consider the Big 12 to be an enlarged Big 8.

There are many national football powerhouses in the Big 12 Conference, and when the league was formed, it was decided that the top team from the South Division would play the top team from the North Division at the end of the season to determine the conference champion.
Teams play eight conference games a season, facing all five opponents within its own division and three teams from the opposite division. Inter-divisional play is a "three-on, three-off" system, where teams will play three teams from the other division on a home-and-home basis for two seasons, and then play the other three foes from the opposite side for a two-year home-and-home.
This format has come under considerable criticism, especially from fans at Nebraska and Oklahoma, who are denied a yearly matchup between two of college football's most storied programs. The Oklahoma-Nebraska rivalry was one of the most intense rivalries in college football history. (Until 2006, the teams had never met in the Big 12 Championship.) There has been talk of modifying the current format to allow each team to have one permanent opponent from the opposite division (as is the case in the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference), or for Nebraska and Oklahoma to play a non-conference game when the two teams are not scheduled to meet in conference play.
Main articles: Big 12 Championship Game
The 'Big 12 Championship Game' is held by the Big 12 Conference each year. The championship game pits the Big 12 North Division champion against the South Division champion in a game held after the regular season has been completed. The first championship game was during the 1996 season.
The bowl lineup for the 2006 season, in order of selection:
# BCS Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona (vs. BCS at-large)
# Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas (vs. SEC)
# Holiday Bowl in San Diego, California (vs. Pac-10)
# Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida (vs. ACC) or Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, Texas (vs. Big Ten)
# Alamo Bowl or Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas (vs. Pac-10)
# Insight Bowl near Phoenix, Arizona (vs. Big Ten)
# Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana (vs. SEC)
# Texas Bowl in Houston, Texas (vs. Big East)
The Big 12 has many rivalries among its member schools, primarily in football. Most of the rivalries have existed since before the Big Eight and Southwest Conferences merged. The Texas-Oklahoma rivalry is especially notable, as it was a major rivalry decades before the two schools were in the same conference. Some of the many football rivalries involving Big 12 schools include:
#Changed from the "Border War" on October 4, 2004 due to the September 11th terrorist attacks. The new name has been criticized for political correctness[1].
#Changed names from Red River Shootout in 2005 to deemphasize war and for political correctness. Played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas during the Texas State Fair annually.
In the preseason poll, Missouri was picked to win the North Division, and Texas was picked to win the South Division. Missouri received 16 first place votes and was followed by Nebraska (with 8 first place votes), Kansas State, Kansas, Colorado, and Iowa State. Texas received 16 first place votes and was followed by Oklahoma (with 7 first place votes), Texas A&M (with 1 first place vote), Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and Baylor.
Although standings in the conference are combined and not split among divisions, the schedule is structured as if the schools were split into two divisions. Teams play a home-and-home against teams within its division and a single game against teams from the opposite division for a total of 16 conference games. This denies Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, formerly in the Big Eight, two games a season against their opponents from that former conference, but does allow most of the other traditional rivalries to be played home-and-home.

On New Year's Day 2007, Texas Tech defeated the New Mexico Lobos 70-68 to give coach Bob Knight his 880th win. This broke the all-time men’s record of 879 wins previously held by North Carolina coach Dean Smith.
This season marked the first time in conference history in which a Big 12 game was postponed and rescheduled due to weather. The Oklahoma State-Nebraska game set for January 13 was postponed to a later date because the Cowboys could not safely leave Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, as an ice storm had hit the nation's midsection, and the airplane the OSU players were to use could not de-ice properly. No doubt influenced by memories of the 2001 plane crash that claimed the lives of several people associated with the Cowboys program, OSU opted for postponement. The game was rescheduled for March 5, the only time in conference history where a Big 12 regular season game was played the Monday prior to the Big 12 Tournament. The Huskers won the game 85-73.
In January 2007, the Big 12 signed a contract with the Pacific 10 Conference (aka the "Pac-10") to set up a "Big 12-Pac 10 Hardwood Series" similar to the ACC - Big Ten Challenge. Beginning in the 2007-08 season, each Big 12 team will play a Pac-10 team on national television (two of the Pac-10 schools will play two games against Big 12 teams as part of the event).
The Big 12 Conference sent four teams to the NCAA Tournament: Kansas as the #1 seed in the West, Texas A&M as the #3 seed in the South, Texas as the #4 seed in the East, and Texas Tech as the #10 seed in the East. Texas Tech lost in the first round to Boston College, Texas lost in the second round to Southern California, and Texas A&M lost in the Sweet 16 to Memphis, and Kansas fell to UCLA in the Elite Eight.
In addition, two Big 12 teams qualified to play in the NIT: Kansas State as the #2 seed in the West, and Oklahoma State as the #2 seed in the East. K-State lost to the DePaul Blue Demons in the second round, while OSU was upset by Marist in the first round.

Men's basketball
Although standings in the conference are combined and not split among divisions, the schedule is structured as if the schools were split into two divisions. Teams play a home-and-home against teams within its division and a single game against teams from the opposite division for a total of 16 conference games. This denies Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, formerly in the Big Eight, two games a season against their opponents from that former conference, but does allow most of the other traditional rivalries to be played home-and-home.

Notable events in the 2006-07 season
On New Year's Day 2007, Texas Tech defeated the New Mexico Lobos 70-68 to give coach Bob Knight his 880th win. This broke the all-time men’s record of 879 wins previously held by North Carolina coach Dean Smith.
This season marked the first time in conference history in which a Big 12 game was postponed and rescheduled due to weather. The Oklahoma State-Nebraska game set for January 13 was postponed to a later date because the Cowboys could not safely leave Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, as an ice storm had hit the nation's midsection, and the airplane the OSU players were to use could not de-ice properly. No doubt influenced by memories of the 2001 plane crash that claimed the lives of several people associated with the Cowboys program, OSU opted for postponement. The game was rescheduled for March 5, the only time in conference history where a Big 12 regular season game was played the Monday prior to the Big 12 Tournament. The Huskers won the game 85-73.
In January 2007, the Big 12 signed a contract with the Pacific 10 Conference (aka the "Pac-10") to set up a "Big 12-Pac 10 Hardwood Series" similar to the ACC - Big Ten Challenge. Beginning in the 2007-08 season, each Big 12 team will play a Pac-10 team on national television (two of the Pac-10 schools will play two games against Big 12 teams as part of the event).
The Big 12 Conference sent four teams to the NCAA Tournament: Kansas as the #1 seed in the West, Texas A&M as the #3 seed in the South, Texas as the #4 seed in the East, and Texas Tech as the #10 seed in the East. Texas Tech lost in the first round to Boston College, Texas lost in the second round to Southern California, and Texas A&M lost in the Sweet 16 to Memphis, and Kansas fell to UCLA in the Elite Eight.
In addition, two Big 12 teams qualified to play in the NIT: Kansas State as the #2 seed in the West, and Oklahoma State as the #2 seed in the East. K-State lost to the DePaul Blue Demons in the second round, while OSU was upset by Marist in the first round.
