Big 12 announces partnership with WWE for 2023 conference title game

The new agreement will include a title bet for the Most Outstanding Player in the conference championship game.

The Big 12 announced a new partnership with the WWE centered around the conference championship football game, the conference announced on Thursday.

The most prominent feature of the agreement is a custom title belt reminiscent of the ones the wrestling league is known for awarded to the game’s Most Outstanding Player.

The two brands will also team up for co-branded logos that feature both the WWE and the Big 12 logo on the field as well as a new merchandising line. Yet-to-be-named WWE wrestlers will also present the aforementioned title belt on the field at the end of the game and will participate in the weekend’s festivities as well.

“With this partnership, we will integrate WWE and its brand power into one of the Conference’s biggest moments, further strengthening the bridge between sports and entertainment throughout the Big 12,” Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said in the release.

The complete poll is here. Was Notre Dame put in a good spot?

What this really signifies is that college football is right around the corner, out Saturday’s will be full once more. Find out where each team is ranked in the first coaches poll of the year.

Notre Dame football: Another way-too-early, but fun bowl projection

An opponent Notre Dame has never beat…

Notre Dame’s 2023 season could go a variety of ways.

Perhaps Sam Hartman exceeds the hype, the offense goes wild and defense is better than assumed, and the Irish win 11 games and end up in the College Football Playoff.

Or perhaps things don’t go as planned and six or seven wins becomes the reality – and Tyrone Willingham memories will be come to mind.

Or maybe there is a middle ground that sees the Irish short of the College Football Playoff and New Year’s Six but still having won nine games or so.  If that’s the case where would Notre Dame end up?

Athlon Sports released their college football preview magazine and in it they had Notre Dame going 9-3.  The bowl game they have the Irish headed to?

The Holiday Bowl in San Diego to take on Oregon State.

Notre Dame checked in 14th in the Athlon Sports preview rankings while Oregon State was No. 19.  See the full rankings 1-40 here.

Oregon State won both games against Notre Dame – the 2001 Fiesta Bowl in blowout fashion and the 2004 Insight Bowl where the Irish were playing following the firing of Tyrone Willingham.  Neither was particularly competitive.

WATCH: Alabama football shares clips from offseason training

Alabama football is prepping for a 2023 resurgence!

Alabama football will look to bounce back strong in 2023 after a disappointing 2022 campaign that still had the team earn double-digit wins and a win in the Sugar Bowl over the Big 12 champions, the Kansas State Wildcats.

In a recent video shared on the Alabama football Twitter page, players and coaches can be seen at the indoor practice facility doing light conditioning and training. Even head coach Nick Saban makes an appearance.

The Crimson Tide’s offseason is just getting started, as the annual A-Day spring football game will take place on April 22, 2023. The regular season will begin on Sept. 2 against Middle Tennessee in Tuscaloosa.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Alabama football as the 2023 offseason progresses and the regular season nears
