Hlas Podcast: Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby

Dec. 22, 2015 3:49 pm

Who would be better to discuss an Iowa-Stanford Rose Bowl matchup than the man who was athletic director at both schools when their current head football coaches were hired?

No one, that's who. So it is that Big 12 Conference Commissioner Bob Bowlsby guests on the latest Mike Hlas Podcast. Bob talks about the similarities between coaches Kirk Ferentz and David Shaw, what his experience was like working at Stanford after leaving Iowa, and some of the primary issues facing college athletics in 2016.

We also talk about 'Grapple on the Gridiron' and the late George Steinbrenner.
