LINKS: Bowlsby steals the show

DALLAS — Five programs took the stage on day one of the Big 12’s annual media days event on Monday but it was the "boss" who stole the show. That man is Bob Bowlsby, who basically drew a line in the sand by telling the NCAA that things need to change. 

That was the big story that came out of Dallas on Monday and it headlines our links compilation from the day as well.

He is Iowa State football's postgame show host on the Cyclone Radio Network and can be heard daily from 4-7 on Des Moines' top-rated sports station, 1460 KXnO. Williams, a 2007 graduate of Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism, is the former publisher of the old CycloneNation.com (Scout.com). He has also written for the Des Moines Register, the Ames Tribune, CycloneReport.com and is the former sports director at KMA Radio. When Williams isn’t working, you can usually find him doing something outdoors with his wife Ashley, daughter Camryn, and Golden Retriever Dierks.
