We made you wait an extra day for the midweek PAPN, so we made an extra long one just for you.

The contents:

  • An even dumber Big 12 saga than normal comes to an end (here’s Godfrey’s piece on it, and here’s Bill’s).
  • The media landscape is going to change rather drastically between now and when the Big 12’s grant of rights ends, but ... yeah ... Big 12’s not in very good shape.
  • Reliving Mizzou’s move to the SEC via this great PowerMizzou piece.
  • The AAC’s next move.
  • OK, fine, let’s talk about Purdue and its hiring history (here’s Bill’s piece on it).
  • Let’s preview the weekend! Tonight’s lineup is awesome (even Troy-South Alabama), Friday night’s lineup should last until morning, and Saturday has a) a few marquee games and b) a whole hell of a lot of interesting conference battles.
  • BOX SCORE BINGO: Ohio State-Wisconsin (regular box score, advanced box score)
