It’s hard to know where to start when you’re saying goodbye to something that’s meant this much.

Writing for Heartland College Sports began as a chance to turn a hobby into something more, but it quickly evolved into a passion. Covering the Big 12 over the past four seasons has been nothing short of a dream.

UCF is putting a bold stamp on its Big 12 identity with a stadium name that matches the energy of its fan base. Starting July 1, the Knights’ home field will officially be called the Acrisure Bounce House, marking a shift from FBC Mortgage Stadium as the company transitions to Acrisure Mortgage. But this isn’t just a name change—it’s a strategic move that reinforces UCF’s brand in the national spotlight.

The Big 12 just dropped its 2025-26 basketball scheduling matrix, setting the stage for a loaded year in both men’s and women’s hoops—and there’s no shortage of storylines. Each team will play 18 conference games, including three home-and-home matchups and 12 single meetings (six at home, six away). The full calendar with dates will come later, but for now, we’ve got clarity on who’s facing who, and who avoids each other.

On the pitching side, Kaitlyn Terry transfers in from UCLA after two strong seasons in the Pac-12. A lefty with nasty movement and legit two-way potential, Terry logged over 300 strikeouts in two years and gives the Red Raiders a crucial second arm to pair with Canady—a luxury no other contender can quite match. Simply put, this is the most talented roster Texas Tech has ever fielded. And the expectations have never been higher.
