This weekly “Big 12 game of the year” routine is getting fun.

This week, it’s No. 17 Kansas State at No. 8 TCU in a showdown matching the two teams that remain undefeated in conference games.

Today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast might as well SportsBeat KC/DFW, because we’re talking to the beat writers for both teams: Steven Johnson, who covers the Horned Frogs for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle and Kansas City Star — our longtime Kansas State beat writer.

They preview the game, sharing their thoughts on what’s happened so far and what might happen Saturday in Fort Worth. After a break, new Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark answers questions from reporters at this week’s Big 12 basketball media day in Kansas City. He discusses the near- and long-term future of the league and how it plans to move forward without Texas and Oklahoma — without losing TV revenue.
