In the 2022 era, there is an audience that complains about too many bowl games. That there is the logic that too much football is just overwhelming. Imagine telling that to individual fan bases, players, coaching staff, and administrators. These bowl games provide 15 extra practices, revenue, help to recruit, and an awesome trip for players. It could be vital for a program to consistently make bowl games. I guarantee you no one in the Kansas fanbase is complaining about bowl games after missing them for over ten years now. So let’s take a look at the last time each Big 12 team missed a bowl game.
The Last Time Each Big 12 Team MISSED a Bowl Game
Baylor: 2020
Iowa State: 2022
Kansas: 2021
Kansas State: 2020
Oklahoma: 1998
Oklahoma State: 2005
TCU: 2021
Texas: 2021
Texas Tech: 2020
West Virginia: 2022
