There are plenty of things a team can do with a trophy.
One of those things shouldn’t be breaking it on the ground. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened to Oklahoma’s 2016 Big 12 title trophy on Saturday.
Bad News: The Big 12 Championship Trophy was broken today.
Good News: We have 9 others.#BoomerSooner pic.twitter.com/TeXnur0RTn

Sooners offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley is correct, they do have nine others. But, over the last 24 hours, Oklahoma has broken a tenth of their championship trophy collection. That’s practically a pattern.
While other conferences are busy wheeling out their glass trophies on whatever that trolly thing is, the SEC knows exactly how to display one proudly.
