The Big 12 has completed a quarter century of competition. In those 25 years, four teams departed, two were added and eight original members have stuck it out. It hasn't always been a one-for-all spirit but it has survived.

Kirk Bohls has written for The Austin American-Statesman since 1973. Berry Tramel has been with The Oklahoman since 1991 and was at the Norman Transcript for more than decade before that. The Big 12 has been terrific for Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and others, including West Virginia. And you'll hear from Mountaineers radio play-by-play man Tony Caridi.
