Bob Stoops OK with Big 12

YOUNGSTOWN

Had the University of Oklahoma chosen to leave the Big 12 conference for the Pac-10, Sooners football coach Bob Stoops was prepared for the challenge.

But the Sooners’ 12-year head coach is OK with remaining in the Big 12.

“It would have been fine if we had made the change and added on with the Pac-10,” said Stoops who was one of the coaches for Monday’s Cardinal Mooney Football Camp of Champions. “But the fact that we’re still where we are is good, too.

“Truthfully, between us and Texas, we’ve [played] for six of the last 10 national championships, us four and them two,” said Stoops whose Sooners won the BCS Championship game is his second season.
