John Currie talks Big 12/SEC bowl game, bowls vs. playoff and what’s next for Big 12

While catching up with Kansas State athletic director John Currie over the weekend, I asked him about a ton of different topics. Much of what we talked about was for upcoming stories that will run in the newspaper throughout May and June, but he also shared his thoughts on several pressing matters, such as the new Big 12/SEC champions bowl game, how future bowl games may or may not exist alongside a playoff and the upcoming spring Big 12 meetings.

Former Kansas State basketball player Victor Ojeleye has been chosen as the male winner of the 2012 Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar Award, which honors undergraduate students of color who exemplify the standards set by tennis great Arthur Ashe Jr. Ojeleye was a four-year lettermen and two-time captain for the Wildcats from 2008-12 and part of the most-victorious senior class in school history (96 wins). He helped the school to four consecutive postseason appearances, including three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Ojeleye graduated from Kansas State earlier this month with a dual degree in accounting and finance.
