Big 12 men’s swimming,not so big. West Virginia sent 3 swimmers to ncaas and scored 2.5 team points. Awarding a ring almost seems comical.
The Queens, and Texas men’s ones have to be Natty rings, right? Please tell me Texas men do not get rings for their conference championships…(cause I would be pretty jealous that they get 2 every year then).
Those are special times! Very exciting to see the smiles and bling bling rings! Congratulations to all the conference CHAMPS!
