IRVING, Texas (AP) — What happened in Vegas didn’t stay there for the Big 12 Conference, which is returning its football media days to Texas.

The Big 12 announced Wednesday that the preseason gathering of coaches and players from its 16 schools will be held July 8-9 at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas. That is part of The Star complex that is the headquarters of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas hosted the event last year.

“Texas is the backyard of the Big 12 Conference,” said Scott Draper, the league’s chief football and competition officer.

AT&T Stadium, the Cowboys’ home stadium in Arlington where the Big 12 plays its championship game each season, was unavailable last summer and again this summer. Work is being done there outside the football season to prepare the venue for hosting World Cup games in 2026.

The Big 12 football media days were held in Frisco in 2017 and 2018. The event was moved to AT&T Stadium in 2019, and after no in-person gathering before the 2020 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, was there again from 2021-23.

Saturday was an offensive rejuvenation for Kansas State in almost every phase of Kansas State’s 41-15 win over Cincinnati.

In a sport like football where there are so many moving pieces at any one time, it’s impossible to say that only one decision made the difference between the Wildcats flailing on offense like they’ve done for the past month or soaring like they did Saturday night.

However, a slight coaching change may have been the spark that reignited the Wildcat offense Saturday evening.
