Probations may hurt entire Big Eight conference
The Big Eight faces a potential financial crisis if Oklahoma and Oklahoma State remain probation-bound this season. A $4 million Orange Bowl payout could vanish, with each school losing about $500,000. If Colorado or Nebraska seizes the title, the Orange Bowl berth could shift, easing fiscal worries but leaving others to bear the pain.
