So we go through summer with minimal links ... and then today happens. Hello, Media Days. There is a week's worth of links in this post ... so many, in fact, that I had to break up the other teams' Media Days links into a separate post to go up later in the day. Settle in and call in late for work ... this one's going to take you a while.

The Missourian: Pinkel talks quarterbacks, Longhorn Network at Big 12 Media DaysPinkel said in an online broadcast of the conference that he doesn’t "compare players much because it’s not fair," but he offered an assessment of Franklin’s skills, likening them to those of Smith.
"I think James has great movement," Pinkel said. "I think he can extend the play. I think he can also do damage with his feet, not only in the passing game, but in the running game. And we really haven’t had that since we had Brad Smith."
KC Star: Mizzou comfortable with challenges of the new Big 12
MUtigers.com: An Interview With Missouri Coach Gary PinkelQ. I guess the issue of full cost of attendance is going to be settled on the administrative level. But have you found in your experience as a head coach that there's a real need for additional funding for players, for athletes?
COACH PINKEL: I think everybody wants to give your players more money. There's no question about that. I think how realistic is it? We don't want college football to become professionals, give them paychecks. The tax implications.
All the different things that could happen, you have to analyze. But if you give one football player a stipend, or what have you, and you're going to do it to every student athlete, the 5 , 6 , 700 student athletes that you have at your school are all going to get the same, number one.
Number two is the revenue sports pay for a good portion of all the other it's not like the money is not being utilized.
I just don't know how realistic it is. I think it sounds great. Sure I'd love to give all my players more money. But to realistically make it work, I don't back when I played, it's no different, you want to win a championship.
But what you did you got your college education. And you had a great experience of playing. You had a chance to play in the NFL if you're a great player. And that's never changed. And that's to me kind of what college football is all about. -

Longhorn Network
Houston Chronicle (Richard Justice): Longhorn Network is more trouble than it's worth
USA Today: NCAA summons Texas officials for summit on TV network
The Trib (Dave Matter): Pinkel: "There's just no common sense""I don’t know the details of this, but you’re going to sit there and show high school games, you’re going to advertise your school on there, where you list all the great recruits you have on there," Pinkel said of the yet-to-launch Longhorn Network's plan to televise high school games featuring Texas recruits. "You can do anything you want on there. There’s just no common sense there. That can’t happen. Are you kidding me? That’s my observation. I haven’t talked to anybody about it. … But what are we doing here?"
Just as Pinkel spoke with a small cluster of writers, Texas Coach Mack Brown was holding court with a swarm of reporters about 30 feet away. In defense of the Longhorn Network, Brown reasoned that Missouri will ultimately benefit because its high school recruits will also be featured in televised games on the LHN. Told of Brown's comments, Pinkel shared some zingers for his longtime colleague.
"That doesn’t surprise me. He’s my buddy," Pinkel said, nodding at Brown and laughing. "We’re very appreciative of that. I’ll send him a bottle of wine."
