candidates. They might say that they've narrowed the list to X number of schools, but they won't identify them. What would be the purpose of publicly announcing the names on a short list and end up embarrassing those that don't make it?

Because the hot tub won't fit 22 teams. We need to get down to 5 or so.

Not cool to schools. Bad enough to find out you're not in the Big12, even worse

Meh. Better to know up front than drag it out for many of these schools.

Agreed, but why public?

I'm not betting on B12 collective intelligence at this point

These comments on how dumb the Big12 is both puzzle and frustrate me...

Because there is a such thing as having mixed feelings

You guys are being babies about it though. Patience of toddlers.

I like BamaCoug's positivity and optimism. Much more than his Yeehawism.

Wasn't thinking about a tweet, just B12 collective decision making historically

Most job interviews go through a similar process. Stop the panic.
