Over time, when watching the games, it becomes “background noise”. But the relevant question is, why do something that is, at best, initially negatively controversial? I think Yormark made it worse when he countered the overwhelmingly negative feedback, excusing his culpability, and claiming it was “for the athletes”. How is a floor revamp for the “athletes”.
Personally, I think changing the floor has minimal impact in a “best case scenario”. Even if it looks great, who really cares? But when it looks like this…well…that’s a pretty egregious miss for the commissioner.
Not a positive relection on Yormark, that’s for sure.
The Big 12 needs all the positive press it can get. Negative press like this only reinforces negative perceptions and provides easy cannon fodder for your adversaries (Big 10 and SEC).
Classic case of shooting yourself in the foot by Yormark.
Yeah, plus 6.5 points! Looking very comfortable with that. Kinda wish i took them to win outright, but i dont usually do that when its that many free points.
