Big 12 expansion will be the major topic of this latest installment of football media days. As much as the conference tries to move past the Baylor-TCU controversy of the 2014 College Football Playoff, there’s many who wonder if the potential for a repeat exists in 2015.

Left tackle Cody Whitehair, cornerback Morgan Burns, and safety Dante Barnett are the senior players who will accompany Bill Snyder in Dallas. A two-time All-Big 12 offensive lineman, Cody Whitehair enters his final season with 38 collegiate starts and experience playing both positions on the right side of the offensive line. Morgan Burns comes off a season in which he earned second-team All-Big 12 honors and was recently referred to as “one of the most underrated defenders coming back,” by Jake Trotter of ESPN.com. Dante Barnett is also poised for a big senior season as the acting leader in tackles (176) at Kansas State and a 2015 team captain.
The annual media days event is hosted by the Big 12 prior to each football and men’s and women’s basketball seasons. Interestingly enough, Kansas State is the only school that will not feature an offensive skill position player during this year’s football festivities.
