Members of the press from across the country converge in Dallas over the next two days to take in the Big 12 media days. If this year is anything like the SEC's media days, we'll get a treat of plenty of coach speak with a few zingers mixed in.
Iowa State's crew is set to make their appearances on Tuesday, with Paul Rhoads' presser beginning at 11:15 a.m. Central. Expected topics for coaches and administrators as a whole include conference realignment (blegh) and getting snubbed from last year's inaugural College Football Playoff.
