The National Title, ESPN's Silence, and the Big 12's AP Takeover

from First and 16 Podcast - Big 12 College Football and College Basketball · host Adam Gibby – Big 12 Football & Basketball Host

Tonight's national championship game could have ripple effects far beyond one trophy — especially for the Big 12. In this episode, we break down how the outcome of tonight's title game could directly help the Big 12's national perception, why ESPN has largely ignored the matchup, and what that silence says about conference narratives in college basketball. We also dive into the latest AP Top 25 rankings, where the Big 12 continues to stack elite teams and make a strong early case for March Madness dominance. If you care about rankings, media bias, and where college basketball is really headed, this is one you don't want to miss. Want to Talk? Message Here! Support the show
