The Big 12 today announced future sites of conference championship games and events. The football championship games be played at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas through 2013. Kansas City's Sprint Center will host the men's basketball tournaments through 2014.
The awkward elephant in the room? The fact that the Big 12 may not even be around past 2011. With the Big 10 and Pac-10 desperately wanting to add Texas to their conferences, and the apparent willingness to take other Big 12 teams with the Hook 'Em Horns, the Big 12 conference is on the verge of going the way of the old Southwest Conference.
Let's just say that Cowboys Stadium and the Sprint Center would be wise to book backup events as contingency plans and would be smart to demand a refund from the conferences if when the Big 12 goes the way of the dodo bird.
