All eyes will be on Texas this week as the Big 12 hosts its two-day football media event at The Star, the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 training facility in Frisco, starting Tuesday. Coaches and players from all 16-member schools will be on hand to talk all things football.<\/p>\n

Here are five subjects that are sure to come up this week:<\/p>\n

Fallout from the Brendan Sorsby situation<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s been nearly four months since the news broke about impermissible betting on college football by Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby. Since that moment in March, it\u2019s been like a soap opera with all the twists and turns, including the filing of multiple lawsuits, first against the NCAA and then against Texas Tech. Throughout, school officials and mega-booster Cody Campbell stood pat in their support for Sorsby.<\/p>\n

The situation finally came to a head last month when the Big 12 filed a lawsuit in federal court, prompting Sorsby to announce he was withdrawing his lawsuit against the NCAA, effectively ending his bid to play this season.<\/p>\n

It was an all-around ugly situation for the parties involved and certainly strained the relationships between Texas Tech and the remaining 15 league members, which makes this week\u2019s media event must-see television.<\/p>\n

Can commissioner Brett Yormark bring everyone back together in the fold, or is this one of those situations where time heals all wounds?<\/p>\n

Expansion of the College Football Playoff<\/h4>\n

The Big 12 has already thrown its weight behind the idea of expanding the College Football Playoff from its current 12-team format to 24 teams. The league\u2019s coaches have also been behind the proposal, citing accessibility and the potential to bring more teams into the mix.<\/p>\n

Yet, we\u2019re no closer to a 24-team model than we were six months ago or, for that matter, a year ago.<\/p>\n
