Baylor and the Big Time

Brittney Griner
No one can argue with the fact that this is the "Golden Age of Sports" at Baylor University. Remember when the Big 12 conference was formed in 1994 and Baylor was the only private school in the league? (It remained the only one until TCU joined this year.) Baylor was considered the doormat, the poor stepchild, the one sure victory in just about all sports.

No more.

Consider that Baylor is the home of Brittney Griner, far and away the best collegiate female basketball player in the land and someone who has led the Bears to an undefeated season and a No. 1 national ranking. Consider that Baylor is the home of the reigning Heisman Trophy winner (Robert Griffin III) and a member of the men’s basketball team, Perry Jones III, is someone many consider a sure-fire lottery pick.

If you want to learn more about Baylor’s surprising emergence as a sports powerhouse, I suggest you take a gander at this story from today’s New York Times.
