West Virginia
This feels like a make-or-break season for West Virginia head coach Neal Brown. The Mountaineers have pulled in some strong recruiting classes, and there have been flashes of greatness on the field in Morgantown, but the days of WVU contending for a conference title feel like a long, long time ago.
Another mediocre season may well signal the end of the Neal Brown era. While some fans may well welcome a change in the leadership of the football program, firing a head coach is risky business, and it could lead to a mess that may take several seasons to clean up.
At stake for WVU is the very direction the program is headed: up, down, or holding steady at 6-6, 7-5?
Conclusion
The stories that will make-up the Big 12’s 2022 football season are just beginning to be written. The conference race appears to be wide-open, and we may well see another team surprise us all as Baylor did in 2021.
The stakes for the conference and teams that comprise the Big 12 are as high as ever. We are on the doorstep of a new era in Big 12 football, and the moves made this season will have consequences that impact the future of the league for seasons to come.
Every season is important, of course, but seasons played in the winds of change are more important than others.
