The harrowing, near-death experience of the Big 12 Conference has affected every one of its member schools and had a ripple effect on others.

Recently, I was performing the mundane task of taking out the trash. I went from room to room, collecting the detritus of the week. I then spent a few minutes scooping out and changing the cat litter, and, sighing, finally tied up the bag and hauled it out to the bins around the side of the house.
