NBC Sports analyst an former Texas Longhorn Chris Simms is ready to see his Horns leave the Big 12 in the dust. The “Unbuttoned” host was recently joined Clint Switzer and Noah Gronniger at Radio Row in Phoenix to talk about Texas’ Big 12 exit and Simms pulled no punches when it comes to his thoughts on the league.
“The Big 12 stinks,” Simms stated emphatically. “There are 50 guys in the NFL from the Big 12, there’s 360 from the SEC. The Big 12 is flag football, 7-on-7 football, whatever you want to call it.”
