Thanks to one coach who will get to in short order, there's been a lot of focus in the news with the ACC this off-season. With a couple schools going through a transition period, and surely a couple more not far away from making that decision on a new coach, today's article might prove the [...]

My first off-season project is taking a look at the coaching situation throughout the country. First up, we'll deal with the Big 12--one of the more interesting leagues in the nation.
