Social Media Engagement (Twitter Followers) for all teams in the New Big 12
Only WVU Football has more twitter followers than UCF:
WVU: 240,000
TCU: 186,000
Baylor: 160,000
Oklahoma State: 153,000
Iowa State: 130,000
Texas Tech: 111,000
Kansas State: 99,000
Kansas: 76,000
As Iowa State's AD noted (and the media consultant that made a presentation to Big 12/ESPN on potential candidates), social media interaction is basically free pub for your teams/conference and why it will be important in the coming years even more so.
NOTE: Pretty dang impressive of TCU to have more than double the twitter follows vs the number of their living alumni (75,000).

I'm too lazy right now to look up the basketball numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if KU would go from worst to first compared to football. Kansas basketball is probably the biggest brand in the new Big 12.
