Folks, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll be surprised to learn that the rest of the Big 12 isn\u2019t all that sympathetic to Cody Campbell or the Texas Tech<\/a> football team right now. Rival Big 12 fanbases seem to have a very different take on what Campbell is trying to do with fighting back against the conference as the Texas Tech Red Raiders might end up playing on a Friday night.<\/p>\n

While Texas Tech football fans have largely rallied behind Campbell<\/a>, other fanbases are a bit different in the way they view this particular feud between the Chairman for Texas Tech\u2019s Board of Regents and Brett Yormark, the commissioner for the Big 12.<\/p>\n

While the current issue between Campbell and Yormark<\/a> is rooted in whether or not the Red Raiders (or any other college football team in Texas) should be playing a game on Friday nights given the cultural importance of playing high school football on Friday nights<\/a> throughout much of the state, folks across the conference aren\u2019t thrilled with the Red Raiders right now.<\/p>\n

Big 12 fans push back on Cody Campbell\u2019s scheduling complaints for the Texas Tech Red Raiders\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, it really looks like Big 12 football fans believe the Red Raiders are acting entitled and in a way that they don\u2019t deserve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Texas Tech is suddenly acting like the school they have hated for decades. At least UT had the history & pedigree to back it up<\/p>\n

Texas leaves the Big 12 and Tech just\u2026 turns into Texas. Great. https:\/\/t.co\/eHM685E47B<\/a><\/p>\n

Yeah… The comparisons to the University of Texas were sure to come. I\u2019m not surprised about that. Not at all. With the way Texas fans acted while they were members of the Big 12, it shouldn\u2019t shock anyone that this sort of comparison would come up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

anyone who’s lived in texas knows cody campbell is right: do not mess with the religion of texas high school football.<\/p>\n

and you especially do not put a top-15 game on a friday night. texas tech fans have a right to be mad.<\/p>\n

Not everyone in the Big 12 is trying to pile on the Red Raiders right now. Some see the validity in Campbell\u2019s arguments. But, uh, a lot of folks aren\u2019t happy with Campbell or Texas Tech right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is no one less deserving of the hubris they currently have than Texas Tech.<\/p>\n

No, the Big 12 does not run through Lubbock, in anything.<\/p>\n

You won your first outright Conference Championship since the Eisenhower administration and then got embarrassed in the playoff.<\/p>\n

Shut up.<\/p>\n

Funny how Texas Tech spent DECADES complaining about Texas A&M and Texas making the conference bend to their will. <\/p>\n

Now the shoe is on the other foot and now you are out here just constantly complaining when you don\u2019t get your way.<\/p>\n

Texas Tech now thinks they\u2019re Nick Sabans Alabama teams after 1 conference championship in over 30 years.<\/p>\n

That last one kinda stings a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no way that Big 12 football fans will be letting go of this one any time soon. They\u2019re going to be latching on to this for the entirety of the upcoming Texas Tech football season (and likely longer than that).<\/p>\n
