BY RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer INDIANAPOLIS — Barry Alvarez lived through the tidal wave of conference realignment that swept over college sports in the early 2010s as Wisconsin’s athletic director, watching the Big Ten grow to 14 teams from the Midwest to the East Coast. Another round of shuffling could be on the horizon, with Texas and Oklahoma initiating discussions with the Southeast- ern Conference about leaving the Big 12 and joining what is already college football’s stron- gest league. Alvarez’s reaction when he heard the news: “Why?” One day after word of the discussions surfaced, the rip- ple effects across the sport were clear as schools far from the Big 12 and SEC tried to sort out where this is going. The Big 12 had a meeting planned for late Thursday with athletic directors and university presidents and chancellors to be briefed on what’s going on with Texas and Oklahoma, a person familiar with the meet- ing told The Associated Press. It was not clear if Texas and Oklahoma officials would par- ticipate, said the person who spoke on condition of anonym- ity because the Big 12 was not making its actions public. Leaders from other confer- ences were hesitant to speculate on what’s next, but some ob- servers were concerned about the potential consequences. “College football is filled with people operating in silos and what they fail to realize is that if they only look at and try to build their silo as big and as shiny as possible than the en- tirety of the sport is not going to be as strong as it needs to be,” said former Colorado quarter- back Joel Klatt, the lead college football analyst for Fox, which holds television rights with the Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12. LM Otero/AP Oklahoma head football coach Lincoln Riley speaks from the stage with mannequins in the background during Big 12 media days July 14 in Arlington, Texas. “I think a move like this would be to the detriment of the sport overall.” Former Oklahoma quar- terback and Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield put it more starkly: “It would ruin the Big 12. It would be done,” Mayfield said during a break in shooting TV commercials in Cleveland. The Big 12 was thought to be on life support about a decade ago after losing Nebraska, Col- orado, Texas A&M and Mis- souri.

Among the others to sign the letter were fencer Race Imboden, who, along with Berry, was placed on proba- tion by the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee for demonstrating on the medals stand at the Pan American Games in 2019. The USOPC later changed its stance and will not sanction athletes who Sounds Continued from B3 — Excerpt from letter urging the IOC not to punish participants who demonstrate at the Tokyo Games protest in Tokyo. Also signing was Harry Edwards, the longtime ac- tivist who organized the Olympic Project for Human Rights, which led to the ges- tures in Mexico City by Smith and Carlos. Five conference after it added TCU and West Virginia. Back when that was playing out, conferences were reacting to one another. The Big Ten pushed over the first domino when it announced in 2009 it was going to explore expansion. Eventually, it lured Nebraska away from the Big 12. “We often talk about how uncomfortable this time is,” new Nebraska AD Trev Alberts said. “It is. It’s a changing envi- ronment. There’s a lot of stress. Now’s the time you want to be part of some stability.” That Big Ten expansion sparked a frenzy, with confer- ences and schools fending for themselves. Could a Texas/ Oklahoma move to the SEC be the next fire starter? Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren was asked about the talks and whether they could prompt the conference to look at expansion —- maybe even reaching out to the two Tony Avelar/AP file John Carlos, left, and Tommie Smith in front of a statue that honors their iconic, black-gloved protest at the 1968 Olympic Games, on the campus of San Jose State University in 2018. Solomon noted that during breaststroke races in swimming, fans whistle during the races. Layering that in would be over the top. Most venues will run some sort of sound tracks to sim- ulate crowd murmur or presence, but only to prevent total silence and for competitive reasons. “We’ve pivoted to know that we’ve got access to all of these fields-of-play microphones. So, we really feel like we can en- hance the sounds of the Games. But you will also hear any crowd presence that is actually being in- jected into the venue. You’ll hear it as the athletes hear it,” she said. Terry Gannon, who will be broadcasting gymnastics, said not having a crowd will also call for some changes into how an- nouncers call events. “There are certain things you do as an announcer because you play off and wait for the crowd. Now you don’t have the crowd and you’re probably going to Big 12 schools — as he opened football media days at Lucas Oil Stadium. Warren stayed away from speculating, calling the news just another example of the vol- atility sweeping through college sports at the moment. “That’s the world that we live in right now,” he said. “From where we sit, we’re always con- stantly evaluating what’s in the best interest of the conference.” Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner Jim Phillips, who took over earlier this year after being athletic director at Northwestern, took a similarly cautious approach. “I think it’s critically import- ant for all of us to always be paying attention to what’s hap- pening in the landscape and understanding what’s happen- ing across the country, whether you’re a conference commis- sioner, whether you’re an ath- letic director, whether you’re a president,” he said. have to come in right away,” he said. With friends and family un- able to watch in the venues, NBC is deploying production teams throughout the country to catch their reactions. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has set up a base at Universal Resorts in Orlando, Florida. Other broadcasters are taking a different approach. Australia’s Seven Network says it plans to layer in crowd noise because it gives fans a level of familiarity. “We will be using crowd ef- fects in our Olympic Games coverage purely to enhance the viewer experience, said Lewis Martin, Seven’s head of network sport. “These effects have been successfully refined in our cov- erage of the AFL (Australian Rules Football) over the past 18 months, when we have worked tirelessly to meet the feedback of our viewers, whose primary ex- pectation is simply that the con- test they’re watching sounds and looks like the sport they know and love.”
