I'm not sure after listening to 'The Morning After' Podcast that Harlan survives his meltdown...
I think anyone could understand a guy saying something stupid in the heat of the moment. But for him to say what he said about the Big 12 and to no longer be happy or excited about being in the conference that took you in when you had few options, is really terrible and is not helpful to a league struggling in the current college football landscape. And, when your true freshman defensive back shows more class in the press conference than your athletic director, well there's really not much else to say.
And, what really sucks about those comments is that they became the entire focus of the post game. It takes away from all of the plays made by players on both teams.
