🏈 Calvin brings firsthand experience as a former Oklahoma State Sports Media major, OSU Athletics intern, and current emcee for Oklahoma State home events, offering unique insight into the Big 12 landscape from both media and fan perspectives. Whether you're following Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Utah, or West Virginia — if you're a Big 12 fan, this one’s for you.
