Report: Big 12 hires Oliver Luck as consultant

The Big 12 could use some serious assistance as it faces an uncertain future, and it sounds like it is getting that.
ESPN 1660 host Matt Mosley reported on Monday that the Big 12 hired Oliver Luck as a consultant.
Luck previously served as West Virginia’s athletic director and was the XFL’s commissioner until being fired.
The Big 12 is losing its two top athletic programs in Oklahoma and Texas, which are leaving for the SEC. Without those schools, the conference is highly unlikely to factor in to the College Football Playoff picture. Maybe Luck can help provide some advice on potential realignment, network TV negotiations and expansion.
