But the Jayhawks also know that winning the tournament, which starts Friday in Oklahoma City, will be no small task. The first year of Big 12 softball is producing some of the nation's top competition, with four teams ranked in the latest top 25 poll.
"It's hard to let go emotionally of Big Eight softball," Oklahoma State softball coach Sandy Fisher said. "I have a soft spot for it, after being in it for many years. But in a long-range look, the Big 12 is very exciting."
Competition has been elevated to a higher level as Texas A&M, a team that has almost 700 victories under coach Bob Brock, as well as first-year programs Texas, Texas Tech and Baylor join the already-recognized Big Eight.
"It's already a very good conference — an established conference," Baylor softball coach Paula Young said. "The three schools that have just added softball programs are going to have to rise up to the competition. We feel we can be competitive."
It would help Baylor and other first-year programs to have a couple good recruiting classes, of course. In a few years, the Big 12 could be a powerhouse like the Pacific 10 or Big West conferences. Young said
But Texas softball coach Connie Clark said that she knew the conference would be tough right away when she looked at the Longhorns' schedule for next season.
That strength of schedule is already paying off for Clark in her recruiting.
"The best kids want to play the best competition every day," she said.
ence itself as time goes on, Fisher said. Many high school players don't know what the Big 12 means, but they will come to understand as higher-profile sports such as football, men's basketball and women's basketball begin competing on national television.
the impact of the Big 12 merger on recruiting will grow like the confer-
"If any coach had their druthers, they'd rather play in temperatures in the 60s than in the 20s. We have the challenge of making our facilities better, our schedule better, our coaches better," Revelle said. "Overall, though, this is almost unanimously a good thing."
Possibly the only negative that has emerged from the Big 12 formation is that northern teams such as Iowa State and Nebraska will add four warm-weather schools to their schedule. The Texas schools don't have to schedule practices and games around cold-weather. Nebraska softball coach Rhonda Revelle said that did give the Texas schools an advantage.
